    6.5 CM vs .260 Rem

    My opinion, the only way you will see the difference down range from the added velocity the 260 can offer over the Creed is something past 1400 yards. I run a 260 and have pushed it pretty hard. (DONT GO THIS HIGH, NOT WORTH IT!!) H4350 pushes the 143 eld-x to 2950fps Reloader 17 could push...

    Totally Stumped

    Maybe your single stage and your 650 are off from each other by a few thousandths which would cause the headspace to be off. I would make sure to measure your headspace on the platform you are going to use to load the ammo. Basically, everything that changes "CAN" cause variances in your...

    Annealing brass - Water quench or air cool?

    I air dry mine as it runs through the annealeez. I have a try that I use under it and just keep moving it once the brass piles up on one side and by the time it is done, the brass from the start is already good to go and cooled off. if anything, it takes maybe 5 mins for brass to cool down or at...

    300 Win Mag advice

    I am building a 300 win mag for the sole purpose of traveling with it and if my ammo gets lost in transit, I can find ammo at any gun store for it. as far as taking game with them, I would think you are good for anything north American but im sure some animals may need a bit more umph...

    DIY Moving Target

    You can use an RC car to move around a target or put one on top of the RC car. worst case scenario, you hit the RC car and are out a couple bucks. at the end of the day, you always have an RC car to mess around with and terrorize the pets/kids/GF/wife with.

    Load Development - Brass & Suppressor Questions

    This post could go into a couple different sections, just figured hear would be best since i am more worried about the brass. I was doing some load development this weekend for a new AR in 6.5 Grendel and I came across some interesting findings that I have some questions on. I was shooting...

    Gunsmithing Open R700 Bolt Face - 270 to 300 Win Mag

    Dumb question but can you take a Remington 700 in 270 and open up the bolt face to accept 300 win mag? would it be better to just buy a 300 win mag bolt? just curious as I am going to start working on a this build and didn't know if there was still enough meat there for it to be safe.

    How truly helpless is the general population?

    The shirts these people wear just crack me up. it always describes the person wearing it. "white men are terrorists" worn by a white man. I mean I wouldn't really call him a man but you get the picture.

    How truly helpless is the general population?

    I was taught how to change a tire when I was 10 years old driving down a back road in a 5 speed since my father wouldn't let me drive an automatic until I knew how to drive a standard. got a flat, pulled over, dad pulled out a beer and said get to work. took me about an 45mins to an hr but got...

    Combine features of MEGA and AERO Enhanced Upper ???

    I will say as far as strength goes, it really doesn't matter since the parts that connect are pretty close to the same size, it is just different how it attaches. realistically, there isn't any more material connecting to the upper than the standard upper/barrel nut. the only issue with the aero...
