    Range Report Fun 500yd Low Recoil Rifle....223AI or 224 Valkryie

    But what about the 100 grn loads I have been hearing about. I think that would change things some. Everyone talks about the 77 or 80 grn loads. I think they have room here from shortening the case to use much heavier bullets than 55,60 or even 77 grn.

    Gas length for 16" 6.5 Creedmoor

    I dont understand why it seems so impossible to produce a 16 inch 6.5 Creedmoor? Adjustable gas blocks and playing with tube lengths and buffer weights, seem to make almost everything run. (halfway decent) I dont think It is going to be any harder really that anything else

    Gas length for 16" 6.5 Creedmoor

    Just in case it matters. My 20 inch AR 6.5 C with hot 123 amax loads only gets a tad over 2700 fps. I would love to see your findings on a 16 inch. I have been thinking of swapping out for a 24 inch to get me closer to 2800.

    I thought the 224 V was using the 6.8 case as well?

    Powder for a 6.5 has gun?

    Not a total novice to reloading but would like some advice. I am using IMR 4350 cause H 4350 is not available. My loads are shooting with Hornady 123 AMAX at 2720 FPS from a 20 inch barrel. I am going to be using a 143 ELDX for a hunting round and would like to know if there is a better powder...

    Best Lubricants for AR's?

    I have read every service manual for every weapon I have ever owned or was issued. The only one that I can remember requiring grease was maybe the M2. I dont think the Mark 19 needed grease. Could be wrong its been years since I played with the really fun stuff. Some manuals have suggested...

    Valkyrie

    They do make 6.8 steel magazines. Only difference is the follower. I used to modify them by cutting out the front edge on five rounders to get the bullets closer to lands. More powder,less pressure, better velocity. ARP barrels are fantastic for the 6.8. I suspect they would be good for the...

    Looking For Help Troubleshooting Aero Precision 6.5 CM

    Firing pin out of spec? I know it worked for some time before these issues but I read that a 6.5 or 260 need a different size firing pin than a 308 and stranger things have happened. PSA had issues in the beginning and Aero has had a few as well. The failure to load sounds like it could be a...

    Newbie question/ar build

    I have built dozens of AR15s. As long as they are in spec receivers are all the same. fancy names and logos are all BS marketing. I have used STAG,PSA,ANDERSON,SPIKES and a host of others. They are all the same. Yes you may get a lemon from time to time but generally all good. I woud get a PSA...

    Which cartridge for 6mm gas gun for PRS style matches?

    If the 224V case burns like it does in the 6.8 everyone will be surprised at what it does in short barrels. But I am a novice/intermediate reloader so I really dont understand why the 6.8 does so well in a 16 or shorter barrel.

    prone for fat guys?

    I was taught the cocked leg thing was to help remedy breathing issues while lining up the shot. Like diagonal stringing.

    Why do my groups look like this?

    Dry firing is the best way to practice trigger control. In the army we used the penny on the barrel unsupported trick. If the penny stays perched on the barrel after dry firing your doing pretty good. Another way is to put a bore sighting lazer in the muzzle and dry fire. Have someone watch the...

    Rifle Scopes Any sub $500 optics that will pass a box test?

    Ultrarunner7 Thank you for your service and everyone else here that has served. Food for though i guess. The way I have shot anything long distance (very little) I have always dialed in best I could, shoot one, adjust from there with hold. Has worked for me in the past. Granted that was with an...
