    I Know It Isn’t Just Me

    Another phenomenon that I've noticed is that longer barrels tend to give tighter ES's and SD's than shorter barrels while shooting the same ammo. What's the length of both barrels? Headspace, if too tight, can cause random "flippers" as well. What's the headspace of both barrels? DJ swore...

    I Know It Isn’t Just Me

    There are a number of factors that contribute to a gun's accuracy and a shooter's precision. On the gun side of things there is ignition, optics quality, stock flex, bedding, headspacing, bore condition, chamber dimensions, etc... The list can go on and on. Then you have ammo...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    In regard to the pre-fit barrels having a Bentz chamber... The Proof pre-fit barrels that my buddy got engrave the bullet. So, unless they are not going full depth on the chamber when it's cut, it's at the very least a modified Bentz. At best, the rumor of it being a Bentz is false and it's a...

    New Lilja barrel..won't exract

    I seriously doubt that they removed it KOD. If I remove either of my 457 actions from the stock and cycle the bolt several times, gravity and the movement of the bolt start working the pin out. My guess is that it started working it's way out of the action and then vibrated the rest of the way...

    NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

    I got to hold and feel one of these last Saturday.. All I can say is WOW! Nice job Zermatt! The action felt buttery smooth and the aluminum magazines are legit! I didn't get to pull the trigger on it, but was there when it was shot. It had a Proof CF barrel on it and it was producing a...

    457 IBI barrel is finally here

    Interesting that there is that much difference in stickout between brands. The reason for asking has to do with comments from folks who have designed chambers for specific ammo brands. I figured there would be slight variations on dimensions of cartridges from manufacturer to manufacturer...

    457 IBI barrel is finally here

    Hey KOD... Just curious which 3 ammos you used to show the differing amounts of "stick out", and which is which in the photos?

    New Lilja barrel..won't exract

    1911.. A couple of questions.. 1- Have you checked to make sure that your ejector's "claw" is in good shape? I've had a corner of the claw break off during NRL22 Nationals and my rifle would no longer extract a live or fired round. Swapped in a new one that evening and had no issues on the...

    CZ455 Weakening Extraction

    In addition to a weakening spring... When's the last time you cleaned the carbon out of your chamber and verified it with a borescope? I've had a carbon buildup cause extraction problems. I've also had a corner of the extractor break off which didn't leave enough "claw" to maintain grip on...

    T1x 50 vs 100 yards

    And now you're able to go 6 for 6 on a 1" steel target at 100 yds in 10 mph winds.. You owned that stage!!! @rimfirewizard?

    What happened to 17rupert's post. His quote is gone that I am referring to with my post.. I may be wrong... Correct that, I probably am wrong. But, here's my theory... When Mike posted the info you're referring to, it was just prior to SHOT Show. Then, at SHOT Show, Cutting Edge Bullets...

    ELR 22lr Ammo - Cutting Edge

    I plugged a random BC of .280 for my CenterX profile into my ballistics app.. Left everything else the same. The differences between the two profiles were relatively similar out to 200. Beyond that, it became very apparent what these little solids might be capable of, not just in drop, but...

    New Lilja barrel..won't exract

    All of those other manufacturers are fine if you like Bentz chambers and excessive headspace. ? He'll be better off with the Lilja once he gets this taken care of.

    New Lilja barrel..won't exract

    A couple of things to check.. Okay, more than a couple.. Lol The first thing that I'd try is to check the timing of the extractor and holder grooves by taking your barreled action out of the Chassis/stock.. Loosen the grub screws enough that you can twist the barrel slightly while still fully...

    Best out of box accuracy for NRL22 comp

    Hey Mark... I couldn't agree more that you don't need a Vudoo to compete. I'm not sure if folks really feel that way, or if they simply want what's perceived as "the best", or simply need to keep up with the Jones', or... The list goes on and on. Don't get me wrong, a Vudoo is an...

    22LR twist rate

    I talked to Carson at Lilja the other day.. They can make a barrel with up to a 9" twist. I saw a post by someone on here that said that they had ordered one from Lilja. I'm definitely interested to see how it shoots for him. On another note, gain twist rifling is making a comeback in the...

    RimX by Zermatt ( Bighorn) arms

    Curiosity question... When you had one for testing, did you happen to do amy chronograph testing with it? I'm specifically wondering if the 6 o'clock firing pin helped es or sd of your ammo.

    Best out of box accuracy for NRL22 comp

    Whatever you do, don't buy a 455 and then try to shoot Base class. The 455 is a discontinued rifle now and as such, it defaults to Open class. Depending on when it was discontinued, you may be able to finish the 2019 Base class season with it, but come June, you'll be in Open for sure! The...

    Cz 455/457 drop in barrel, which one

    The best way is to measure the barrel tenon length and the receiver face to bolt face recess depth and subtract the former from the latter. The most accurate measurement will be gotten from using a depth micrometer to make these measurements. Using Lilja as an example, the barrel tenon will...

    Cz 455/457 drop in barrel, which one

    What is the tenon length on these Bartlein drop-ins? Are they shimmable? What chamber? I must have missed the fact that Bartlein is offering a "drop-in" barrel for CZ's.
