    Building a rifle for the wife..............and me

    1- Do you hand load ammo or will you be buying factory ammo? .223 match ammo is more plentiful than .243 match ammo. Plinking ammo - no contest. 2 - A .243 is no more inherently accurate then a comparably built .223. .243 is just less affected by wind and is capable of maintaining its...

    Video in conjunction with spotter?

    Check out the device used in this Rifles Only video. Appears to be recorded by a Gopro camera. I have no idea who makes it, it's practicality or durability. Jacob from Rifles Only using the FTW Sling on a barricade. - YouTube

    First Build, 22" 6.5 Creedmoor. Thoughts?

    Rob could you post your load data for 2930fps? Not trying to call you out, just curious. Fwiw I have a 22" barrel and get 2715fps with 42g h4350. I went up to 43ish and started to get heavy bolt lift. I'm completely happy at 2715. Using shooter for 1k it calls for 9 mils up and 2...

    Frustrated with Hornady LNL Auto Charge

    I have an Autocharge and while there are things about It I dislike I haven't experienced the scale drift you have going on. Any chance the drift is caused by your lighting, wind or other electronics in the area?

    Range Report Ballistic profile help

    Several factors at play here. BC could be part of it. Environmentals? Accuracy of chrono? Accuracy of POI - are you shooting paper or steel at 300 and is the group tight enough to get solid vertical dope? I would try to get more data points at distance to see if you can true the velocity...

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    Exactly. Just wondering if the pressure was due to a chamber set up for vld's and short coal. Doesn't sound like that is the cause.

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    Scott, Just curious what was your chamber spec'd for? IE was it set up for the 140 Amax at 2.81" or something different. Are any of the other shooters experiencing pressure issues running Factory based chambers?

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    Out of the box they are very tight. Run them passed the ball expander in your full length die and they will be much softer seating.

    260 Barrel Life 2800 w/H4350 vs 2700w/H4831

    If it were me, I'd make sure the 100 yard groups are not a fluke. Sounds like you've done that. Next when it is windy again, shoot that 500 yard steel again with both loads and let the results tell you if 100fps makes up for somewhat lower accuracy.

    Hunting & Fishing Got drawn for elk! Help me choose a caliber!

    Your 7 saum is perfect for elk. If the 150 accubonds shoot well, use them. If not try another bullet. You will not be at a loss for knock down power with the saum.

    Creedmoor build advice

    Another option since you would need to order the Stiller anyways would be Bugholes.com. Get a barreled action from Greg and have him slap a trigger on it. Order a Manners mini chassis and bolt it up, add glass and your done. SPR 6.5 Creemoor barreled action #1

    22" barrel for 6.5 creedmoor?

    Some data on my 22" 6.5 Creedmoor Factory 140 Amax ammo - 2670fps 41.5 h4350 w/140 bthp - 2680fps During a ladder test with 140 Amax I got 2786fps (1 round sample) using 42.8 h4350 with no pressure but haven't gone further yet.
