    KAC, forgive me?

    KACbcg: Are they available generally, but temporarily unavailable, or unavailable to the civilian market?

    7 mm rem mag question

    There are a general rules of shooting, obviously, but there is room for exceptions: If a v8 in one car is outperformed by a v6 in another, its okay though the performance is an exception. The headstamp is general. "Holy Toledo, Batman!" performance is peculiar to the piece producing it, and...

    7 mm rem mag question

    Whether or not your bullets are coated, the pressure limit usually provide sufficient data to deem maximum. Don't dismiss advantage. Stoke it, but don't smoke it!

    KAC, forgive me?

    Shooters, I once dogged KAC, implying they were not all that, but that Government contracts were their primary goal without much in the way of actual firearms manufacturing competence. I was wrong. One sure way to recognize a high-performance oriented big chassis AR is the size of the firing...

    Gas gun reloading

    Whomever believes loading for bolt is same as gas is mistaken. Sizing cases without an expander is common practice for many bolt gun loaders. As xcount wrote, because semis ding the case mouth often, your expander button or mandrel will need to straighten out the inwardly poking ding. Also...

    Cleaning GAP10

    WD40, Kroil, Citrasolve, Lacquer thinner, solvent, combined with 0000 steel wool in your hands for carbon on the bolt. BCG, barrel extension/lugs, bore: give them a bath by dunking in either of those above, or spray wash with aerosol WD40 or Kroil. Wear dishwashing or medical gloves. Wash...

    LR-308 issues

    Ammunition. What kind are you using? Federal Gold Medal Match, similar ammo, or Lake City Match, all in either 168 or 175 grain should function flawlessly in your rifle. Lubrication. What kind are you using? Any engine motor oil, or white, amber, green, beige, red grease is required on the...

    JP Bolt Wear

    That wear is not abnormal. Part of what you see could be caused by the barrel extension of course. Incidentally, synthetic grease is the proper lubricant for that part-to-part contact, but a light application, on dry, clean steel.

    WOA AR 6.5 Creedmoor Bullet Selection Question

    The firing pin tips and firing pin holes in the bolt face are too large at @.078. Bush them to @.068. Carefully radius the pin tip as to avoid weakening it too much. Broken tips are the result. Bushing the pin and hole will help the problem if its done right.

    6xc reloading help

    It is possible but Reloader 17, H4350, 4831 and VvN160 rule 6xc. Loaded right they all work well. Read Tubb and Salazar. Do whatever either suggest.

    6mm Creedmoor vs 6.5mm Creedmoor 20" Speeds

    The point is which bullet do you seek to drive? This determinative properties are BC and weight (recoil). Why fire a 140~ grain bullet having a bc of x when a 105~ bullet having a bc of x is available? I don't know the answer. However, apparently, the latter is preferred in field precision...

    When the defendant does not testify

    So you don't put your client on the stand for a few good reasons. First, he has a right against self-incrimination. The burden of proof is on the prosecution in accordance with the US Constitution. Therefore, the prosecution cannot call the defendant to the stand to testify. However, he may...

    Looking for AR-10 .260 Rem build experience with JP barrel

    At the point of over-heating, because of heat-caused throat deterioration, in an AR built right, to the level of accuracy loss; accuracy is likely not recoverable. The bore will likely be irreparably damaged. Do not expect poi shifts in reasonably spaced shot strings under normal conditions.

    lowering my ES??

    The issue is whether rounds impact within the capabilities of the rig and shooter in vertical dispersion at longer distances, say 600+. Rounds' impacts from a one minute rifle would expect to be within 1moa in vertical dispersion (6" top to bottom of group) unless there is a gun or ammo...

    Gunsmithing Input on what happened to this brass...

    It's not too late to switch hobbies. That's what I suggest. Your understanding of how all this works is so far from reality, and you're so smart, that you will likely never reach the point of understanding what actually occurs during hand loading and firing firearms. Stay with rim fires and...
