LMT feed issues
I'm using the 20 round 'LR' p-mags. I have 6, loaded them all and none seem to be pointing down really bad, but maybe I should find another mag to try out. Not a bad idea.- DanUSMC

LMT feed issues
I have an LMT mars h 308, 16". The groups aren't so good. Having occasional ftf. If load a round and eject it, bullet tip looks like this. Copper buildup where barrel ramp over hangs reciever ramp. On the phone LMT told me this happens during extraction/ejection. I dont see how. I want them to...- DanUSMC

Scope ring hanging off rail just a bit
I promise I was genuinely curious about whether or not this would or could cause any problems, and I searched the forum and Google first. I get its not a big deal, I could just move them. But I was genuinely curious and I didn't see anything wrong with asking others who have more experience than...- DanUSMC

Calm down. Nobody hurt you. I'm expecting to learn, it's okay to ask a question. Just move along if it offends you.- DanUSMC

Scope ring hanging off rail just a bit
You can do an experiment in your mom's basement. Take one of her C clamps and clamp down on something square and solid with both clamping surfaces being fully engaged on the object. Note how they are straight and true. Now, slide the clamp so that the clamping surfaces are hanging off the edge...- DanUSMC

Scope ring hanging off rail just a bit
I mounted my scope up in some old nightforce rings because my A.R.C. one-piece mount doesn't play so nice with the Kahles horizontal parallax ring. I got everything the way I wanted it, but somehow I missed that my scope rings are mounted at the extremes so that the clamping portion is just...- DanUSMC

ARC Xylo Chassis ?
The cheek riser shape, buttstock width and shape, and the length of forearm are my problems with it. The forearm length is only an issue for me because I can't mount a harris bipod and fit a gamechanger underneath at the same time. I like to have this ability. The cheek riser just sucks, it's...- DanUSMC

ARC Xylo Chassis ?
Did you by any chance call ARC first to see if they had knowledge of fitment issues with that particular action? Just curious. Definitely a ballsey move to take the dremel to a $1200 chassis, id be nervous doing that in a mill. Glad it worked out. I do wonder why ARC went with a radiused bed...- DanUSMC

ARC Xylo Chassis ?
I dont have the extension from ARC, but I did make my own very close copy of it, also with a single screw. Its rock solid because It locks into the chassis on a taper, which positively locates it & makes it very stable even with only one screw. Id be more worried about the aluminum itself...- DanUSMC

ARC Xylo Chassis ?
If anyone is interested in a more traditional comb / cheek riser profile or weak side shooting, this is an easy solution that works well. I picked up a KRG overmolded cheek rest for $30 or so. It will mount directly onto the Xylo aluminum plate with almost no hassle and no permanent...- DanUSMC

ARC Xylo Chassis ?
I bought one for my 308 build, took it to the comprehensive precision rifle course at K&M last month. I don't like the cheek rest, it gets a lil slippery and the flat becomes uncomfortable after some time. I dont like the squared buttstock pad either. I also don't like the grip, i sanded mine...- DanUSMC

30 cal bullets, lighter or heavier?
Make what you will of the BC info, I really dont know for sure. But another thing to think about is if youre loading to mag length for a repeater, the tmks will probably result in less case capacity, which might make it difficult to push them as fast as you want. One of those situations where...- DanUSMC

30 cal bullets, lighter or heavier?
The TMK should create a smaller and more consistent meplat, thus a more consistent BC. But according to Brian Litz' study in this article ( http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2015/05/litz-field-tests-bcs-of-sierra-tipped-matchkings/ ) the 155 tmk has the same BC as the 155 SMK. SMKs have a...- DanUSMC

30 cal bullets, lighter or heavier?
And I also just thought, if you clean your rifle the way I was taught by my old man, or the way they generally in the military, stop right now and go watch Mr. Galli's vid on cleaning a precision rifle. I get nauseous when I think about how many times I rammed a crooked steel GI issue 6 piece...- DanUSMC

30 cal bullets, lighter or heavier?
Take my internet advice with a grain of salt, but I was in your shoes a few years ago so I feel compelled to put in my 2c. It depends on what you want to do. For example if you want to shoot PRS tactical division theres a speed limit of 2800 fps for .308 and a weight limit of 178gr for...- DanUSMC
