    6.5 Creedmoor any body ?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor any body ? Factory loads are taken from a 28" tube. Figure you're going to lose 200 FPS in a 24". (You may not, but if you lose only 150 you'll be happy.) The cartridge was actually designed for the AR10 (DPMS), so I'm sure that functioning isn't an issue. The idea was to...

    Range Report 308 or 260 for competition @ TVP

    Re: 308 or 260 for competition @ TVP All the good things said about the .308 are all true. But if were not having to scrounge brass to defend our homeland from violent hoards, .260 for all the reasons given above. If it just about shooting and competition (as oposed to homeland security)...

    Range Report More 300 & More!

    Re: More 300 & More! Those are great guys! That's what I'm talkin' about! What is that on the 260 @ 850? About 5 inches? I am looking to build up a .260 for a cost effective 1000 yard shooter that won't burn up barrels. No for competition, but just for my own shooting, as I can shoot...

    Accuracy with Peep Sights

    Re: Accuracy with Peep Sights With mil-spec, it's a challenge. Even though your eye naturally aligns peep sights, there is so much room in the rear sight of the standard military sight (being designed for battle and speed, not precision) that it's a touch proposition. However, reducing the...

    Loading for .223-Crap groups w/RL-15?

    Re: Loading for .223-Crap groups w/RL-15? If you are compressing the loads with that long 77, you could be fracturing the powder and that might explain the bad grouping. TIf this is happening, try using a drop tube or maybe hold the cases briefly on a vibrating tumbler so that the powder...

    Bell and Carlson M40 stocks?

    Re: Bell and Carlson M40 stocks? I have one on my savage M12. I find it to be an excellent stock. Is it a MCM? Of course not, but for $200 what do you want? If I was in Iraq, I'd want a little more solid unit, but there is not situation stateside I be hesitant about. The barrel on my...

    Range Report Is the .50 over-rated?

    Re: Is the .50 over-rated? Civilian shooting? Overated. Military - Anti-material and anti-personal, shooting through concrete blocks, etc., with a devestating choice of ammo options? Nothing stacks up to the .50!

    AR10 Specific .260 Load Needed

    Re: AR10 Specific .260 Load Needed Since no two rifles ever shoot the same, you're going to have to start with some basic load data (starting low) and work up to see what shows promise. Because of the magazine, your seating depth options are limited. Variations are going to be charge...

    My .264 LBC AR !!!!! Pics and experiences

    Re: My .264 LBC AR !!!!! Pics and experiences There's no difference in performance, because there's no differnce in the cartridge. The only variation is the G's throated with multiple angles on the lead (supposedly to give it better performance with many bullet weights) while the LBC has...

    Velocity / Temp Formula

    Re: Velocity / Temp Formula Some powders are far more sensitive to temp than others. Moreover, many powerders don't seem to be affected as much in changes above 40-50, than they are as temperatures drop bellow that. I've done a little chronographing at temperatures around 30 and compared...

    Sniper Pistol

    Re: Sniper Pistol I've enjoyed the hand-canons for both targets and hunting. I've had 7mm L&L in a Contender (7mm x444 imp.) which has taken a couple of blacktails and an antelope. Now I have an encore in .223 (with squirrels and coyotes to its credit), a .260 which I've hunted with, but...

    B & C medalist vs Choate tactical

    Re: B & C medalist vs Choate tactical +1 on the B&C. I have one on a heavy .204 savage SS (M12). I don't have any experience with the choate tactical that resembles the MCM A5 in looks, but I've done the older stocks (ultimate varmint, I think they called it). No thanks. My savage has a...

    Difference in Brass

    Re: Difference in Brass Keep in mind that while most brass is OK, there is nothing comparing to the Lapua, both with case to case consistency and strength. One case certainly sort and prep any brass, but if the rifle is capable of supreme accuarcy (custom rig) it will notice the difference...

    Gunsmithing 308, 243, or 260 rem?

    Re: 308, 243, or 260 rem? I also think it depends whether you reload or not. If not, .308 is a no-brainer. If you reload: .260, hands down. Lapua is now making excelent brass. Easy to load for, exceptional accuracy, lower recoil, excellent bullets, much better ballistics. IMHO.

    Next step in accuracy

    Re: Next step in accuracy I have way more experience in varmint rifles than in true sniper rifles, but the only thing I do more than you are is uniform the primer pockets, sort out the very heavy or light cases, and keep an eye on bullet runout. Beyond this, I'm not sure that anything but a...

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint vs. Eotech

    Re: Aimpoint vs. Eotech I wasn't really looking for a "ford vs. chevy" view. I'm just wondering why there are so many for sale as opposed to the aimpoint? Is this a comment on people dumpting them?

    Need Advice - Reloading/Group Shape

    Re: Need Advice - Reloading/Group Shape I've seen similar things happen with runout issues, too. Albeit, it's more often 3 or 4 in a group and then strays.

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint vs. Eotech

    I know that the product guarantee favors the aimpoint, 10 years vs. 2 years. What I've noticed though is that comparitively, you see many, many eotechs for sale used, with very few used aimpoints for sale. I know both have there fans, but I just wonder if this is this a comment on the eotechs...
