    Reloading for AR-10 .308 platform ??

    Since you're full length sizing the brass, you don't need to worry about fire formed brass for your chamber. If it's super easy to get to the range, I would load 3 cartridges per 0.3gr in the low-max published range and find out what your pressure ranges are, then for the next range trip, load...

    Reloading for AR-10 .308 platform ??

    In my brief experiences with reloading, the variability of the case volume of your mixed headstamp 308 brass (and likely neck thickness -> neck tension) will have more of an effect than not having an optimal jump to the lands, barring any high sensitivity of the specific projectile. You may...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Does anyone have a trial version of the KRG Bravo stock/"chassis"? I'm really interested in it for the CTR, I really like how it puts the shooting hand higher up near the bore axis and doesn't add a significant height to the overall profile like most chasses (sp?) do.

    Scales scales scales... tell me about your scale!

    lol and I thought I went nuts by buying 2x CM1500's so I could just throw powder at a good pace. When cross referencing eachothers' weights, they've always lined up so I don't expect much source of error by having two systems.

    Recommendations on .375 H&H?

    Just a heads up, the CZ 550's in the big boy calibers may need some tuning to get to feed properly. I'm not poo-poo'ing them at all, they're great rifles; particularly for the price. If I were in the market for that caliber, that's what I'd go for. You may want to lurk on the 'africahunting'...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    FYI, I just got an email from Whittaker guns; looks like they got the 24" 6.5CM CTR (blued) back in stock. I got mine from them at a phenomenal price before, I'm not sure what it is now though.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    True, well, two years is a decent bit of time to go without modifications for me (just trying to justify saving $ to myself!). I do like the McRee's chasses though; they seem really nice and a decent price. Super stoked about having the barrel change options nowadays,with companies like PVA.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Is anyone else enjoying their CTR as purchased, without modifications? My only nit-picking-point may be having a vertical grip closer that allows better prone shooting, but this angle may be a better option for using "obstacles". I don't think I'll be doing any modifications or stock/part...

    308 subsonic load question

    I've done a handful of 175gr SMK's with 8gr of trailboss. I think 10+ put them supersonic? I've heard rumors of seating the bullets backwards to help with stabilization, but haven't tried it. FYI, if you look under Rainier bullets of the .308 diameter on Midway, they have some nicely priced...

    Titanium Action Durability

    I wouldn't for the sole aspect of galling and wear resistance. If they've developed a great coating that doesn't wear off, then go for it. It will flex more than steel and have poor heat dissipation though.

    Anyone using the new Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass???

    I got to 41.7gr of RL-16 for a decent load. Started noticing pressure at >42.5gr. All in my CTR 24" 6.5CM Edit: no experience with other brass ammo though.

    Well then, that escalated quickly. Someone run it on the WEZ with realistic parameters for shits and giggles?

    Range Report Nosler 140 RDF's

    Tikka CTR 24" 6.5CM w/ Omega 30 (direct thread) Lapua Brass CCI 450 RL-16, 41.7gr 0.050" jump (2.935" COAL, depending on bullet) 140 RDFs 2750ft/s @ 70F. Did about half-MOA groups, but going to start increasing the jump and seeing effect on groups. First time I've been able to go out to...

    Rebarrling Tikka Mag bolt face

    Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Edit2: An idiot that can't strike-through text as well, apparently. You'll have to modify the existing or get a new bolt stop to go from short to long action. Looks like your 270WSM is a .470" bolt face diameter and the 7mmRM is a .540" long action. Bolt faces are...

    First Time Rifle Owner Questions / Feedback

    Savage 10T-SR from Cabelas. $649 -$100 mail in rebate. They have the 24" 6.5CM in stock, that's absolutely the one you want. Spend $230 or $300 on a Primary Arms 4-14x44 FFP Mildot (I don't like the R-grid, personally) or SWFA SS 10x, respectively. You're at about $850-900 there. Put the rest...

    Tikka 20" 6.5 CM CTR Loads

    Seems like it's really slow, especially with the 130's. You should be doing 5 shot groups to make things a bit more meaningful.

    DLC recomendations

    Watch the processing temperature of whichever coating you choose, I know some guys like to run the PVD machines hotter, and nitriding can get up there to (gas vs. ion nitriding). I think you should be good in most instances, though you don't want to dick up the heat treatment of the metal that's...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I had a T3 in 308. With the brake and/or suppressor it was manageable but without either it had some snap to it (<6lbs before optic). The 24" CTR in 6.5CM is a dream to shoot but I can't speak for the 308. The scope should be great as well as the Primary Arms 4-14x44 ffp mildot as another...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Tried to take the scope base off and stripped 2 of 4. Tried using a stripped screw remover (Ryobi), it was softer than dog shit and just ripped the bolt heads off. Now I've got 3 usable holes and I'm waiting on the screws for the EGW 20MOA base. Ya dun fucked up on those, Tikka. If you're going...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Are your guys' 24" 6.5CM CTR's throated really long? I was getting a COAL of 2.985" with 140 RDF's to hit the lands, had to seat to 2.930" to fit in the mags so that's 55 thou off the lands already. The standard 2.860" would be quite the jump. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here. Also, just...
