    Cheek Riser for LR308

    What about the Luth-AR, MBA-1 or the Seekins Precision ProComp 10X?

    Cheek Riser for LR308

    Partly. Most of my shooting is either from a bench or while hunting from a stand. Using a rear bag with my M4gery's adj. stock is a PITA. It's also partly that I don't want to have to fiddle with buying a new buffer/tube/spring and have to re-tune the gas block, and since I'm looking for height...

    Cheek Riser for LR308

    Thanks for the suggestion but that’s really not what I’m hoping for. Even the Magpul PRS isn’t workable here.

    Cheek Riser for LR308

    Gents, I need to gain about 1/2” on my A1 stock to get a solid and consistent cheek weld on my rifle, but due to the length of the charging handle, I’m not having any luck finding something that will work. I’m not necessarily wed to the A1 stock, but I want the 13.5” LOP it gives me and I...

    H4831 Data for 260 Rem.

    Following Hornady’s data, I loaded one test round ea. in 1/2 grain increments from 46gr through 49 gr. I quit at that point because the seating stem (hornady’s eld specific stem) started to deform the ogive. No need to go any further than 48.5 IMO. Thanks for the data Mike. That was quite helpful.

    H4831 Data for 260 Rem.

    I'm comparing loads from different sources for 130gr bullets in 260 Rem. and the Hornady data seems a bit odd. Sierra and Berger list 45.4 and 45.2gr, respectively, as max charges for their bullets. Hodgdon's data lists 46.6C as their max, and the Nosler manual lists 47.5 as max. Hornady, on...

    Rifle Scopes Long range optics that can moonlight as a deer hunting optic

    Yeah, you’re a bad influence Ilya. I’ll claim the Dark Lord of Optics made me do it... Healy, I do the same. “Expensive” stuff delivers to work. The receptionist doesn’t ask questions.

    Rifle Scopes Long range optics that can moonlight as a deer hunting optic

    Ilya conned ? me into this exact scope over on optics talk and I’m not disappointed in the slightest. I built an AR in 260 Rem. for shooting and hunting to around 600 yds.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle thread blem

    “It’s a super tight shooter...” That’s all you need. As was said: Ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Now hie thee to the range and post some targets.

    POF and my Incredibly Disappointing Experience......

    I didn’t realize it was a piston upper. In this case, I’d still have them rebarrel it, then sell it to offset the cost of a new 6.8 upper.

    POF and my Incredibly Disappointing Experience......

    You're right, that's horsecrap. I wonder: If you have them rebarrel it in 5.56, they're out the time and expense of providing you with a new barrel and bolt. When it's returned, sell the barrel and bolt to offset the cost of a new 6.8 barrel & bolt. You're still out some $, but at least you...

    Precision DMR w/ piston upper?

    I wonder if he meant a retaining compound like Loctite 609 instead of a threadlocker.

    260 remington hornady 130 eld load data

    My barrel is a 22” with a rifle +2” gas system. I have some case head swipe with the Hornady factory ammo but I haven’t had a chance to tune it all out yet. I’ve added a tungsten weight to the buffer to help fine tune things. We'll see how it works out. I have to check my throat length but I...

    260 remington hornady 130 eld load data

    I got ahold of a pic of the Hornady 10th ed. manual. They show 40.2 to 49.9 grains of H4831. They do not list loads using H4350. Hodgdon’s shows 39.7 to 42.7 grains of H4350. Superlative Arms AGB.

    260 remington hornady 130 eld load data

    It’s a large-frame AR with a Proof Research barrel. Mag length will have to do unless I chamber each round manually.

    260 remington hornady 130 eld load data

    Can anyone give me the load data for this cartridge and bullet from the Hornady manual? In particular, I need data for H4350 and H4831. I have the new Hornady manual on the way, but I hope to start loading before it arrives.

    Etched bf & jam

    This is where my money is. If you look closely at the bolt face, you can see that the bolt has a coating on it, and that it has been worn off in places. Inside the recess, you can see that the coating has worn off exactly where the case head would be during firing.
