    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    My son's 6.5 Creedmoor is a great rifle, but that is with handloads. When I look at comfortable ranges that I'm willing to shoot to, www.ballisticstudies.com has some good rules of thumb for velocity floors. Folks will take longer shots and make kills, but the website has some good information...

    Ckye-pods why are they all out of stock.

    Are there any updates on the Gen 2, specifically the double pull?

    Surprise cratered primers !! (long post)

    Tsonka, If memory serves the factory Hornady match 6mm Creedmoor (I'm thinking about getting a barrel in this but haven't yet) are like the 6.5mm Creedmoor and use LR primers. It's not an issue with the LR, it is an issue that shows up when you use a SRP in a rifle that has a firing pin and...

    Surprise cratered primers !! (long post)

    I've shot several thousand small rifle primers in my RPR without an issue shooting 6.5x47. However, I've heard I'm one of the lucky ones and that many RPRs need to have the firing pin turned and the bolt bushed like the Rem 700. Your primers look exactly like my SRPs when I use a Rem 700...

    VihtaVuori N555 Now in stock, Lets get some data!

    I tested a couple loads for group sizes. Neither rifle shot as well as I would have liked. This testing was strictly group testing/tweaking no velocities. last range trip a 6.5 creedmoor 147 eld/vv555 load had done .8" for 9 shots (round robin one shot per bull and then use On Target to...

    VihtaVuori N555 Now in stock, Lets get some data!

    I'm working up a load simultaneously with VV 555 and RL 16 in my 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun. Same case, primer, bullet, and load length just the different powder. I checked my notes 1.2 grains is the difference to get to very close to the same velocity with vv555 taking 1.2 grains more than the RL...

    VihtaVuori N555 Now in stock, Lets get some data!

    I don't think it will work as a replacement for Varget. In my testing it seems to have less energy than RL 16. To get the same velocities, I'm using about 1.2 grain more with 555 as RL16. I tried it in a 6.5x47 and the most I could get in was about 40grs and that only got me to 2589 with a...

    Range Report Broken tips on Hornady 6.5 140 ELDMs

    I’ve broken 1 tip like that in about 4K if the 147s. That was from dropping it into the concrete. About 6 years ago I had a couple boxes of nosler 338 accubonds where the tips would fall out. I think bad runs happen to all the companies.

    SOLD [WTS] Sako TRG22 in .308 w/ lots of KRG goodies

    What is the weight? What modifications were done to have it accept the AICS mags? Does it still work with TRG mags?

    Applied Ballistic App Custom Drag Model and pointed bullets or different lots

    The creating a new CDM and only being able to modify mv is what I was afraid of. I'll just stick with modifying the G7. With the cartridge/load I shoot most, the bullet doesn't drop below mach 1.5 until about 1000-1050 yd. Beyond that is only a handful or less of shots per match. With the...

    Applied Ballistic App Custom Drag Model and pointed bullets or different lots

    Does anyone use one of the purchased CDMs with pointed bullets or had to alter them for different lots of bullets? How does it work? What did you do to modify the results? I was looking at getting the AB app for my iPhone and buying the 140 Berger CDM. When I shot Bergers in the past I...

    Your opinion wanted on TRG Mods

    I think the mods depend on your use and caliber. I got a post 2013 in 2013. It was a Eurooptics special run done by APA. Mine came in 6.5x47. I couldn’t get the x47 to run consistently in the TRG mags. So I got a KRG backbone conversion for AI mags, which unfortunately they don’t make anymore. I...

    Drastic changes in my 600yd dope in a week?!

    if it was .2 or .3 I'd say mirage if one day was sunny and the next was shade. could it be a combo of mirage and da?

    TRG Rifles picture thread.....??

    KRG quit making the conversion backbone in 2015'ish maybe 2014. I have one in my TRG-22, I got mine in 2014. Very occasionally you see one come up for sale. Now I run ARC mags with Area 419 extensions. I can load 12-14 rounds of 6.5 Sweedmoor/Addiction. When I got it I used AI or Alpha 10...

    TRG Rifles picture thread.....??

    Is it an extended TRG mag or is it an AI mag and the rifle was fitted with a KRG AICS conversion backbone.

    Suppressors best method to buy a suppressor

    I'm in a job where I move from state to state every 2 years. What is the best method to "own" a suppressor when you have to move frequently, trust or personally? My concern with personal ownership is what if I get sent to a non-suppressor state. But the concern with the trust is how do you...

    SAKO TRG-22

    Question What are the outside dimensions of the TRG-22 magazine and what is the max OAL/internal length? I switched my TRG in 2013/2014 to the KRG AICS backbone, so I don't have a magazine anymore to measure.

    Semi-Auto 6.5 CM w/ $6K Budget

    I’m with the Gap 10 crowd and the best scope you can get for what’s left. I got a used gen 1 gap 10. With my hand loads it is sub 1/2 MOA 3 shot groups. With whatever I grabbed, ie hornady cheapest I could find or stuff I had loaded for other guns, as I was making brass, it had a 30 3 shot group...
