    6.5 Creedmoor. Max distance.

    sandwarrior, Thanks for the info. Wanted to run the numbers to see what evil shooting genies were in the range bottle that day. Would love to try that when I get my 375 project done - so close now. Would like to fly out there if I had a friend or shooting facility/guide to stay with and...

    Gunsmithing Timing a muzzlebrake

    Showoff ; ) jstnth247 have you tried the time honored trick of putting a piece of heavy cloth on the ground under the brake to keep the dust signature down and reduce the chance of giving away your position and drawing return fire? I don't know where you live but it sounds like a darned rough...

    Gunsmithing Carbon Wrapped Barrels, More PROOF

    Quality Barrels...I don"t know any barrel maker who claims to make anything but quality barrels. Its nice that they cut rifle, and appropriate that they do so after turning and wrapping. Button rifling would likely pop any seal that existed between the steel and the CF. As far as what I'd...

    Gunsmithing Do I have a problem?

    Actually, I was sick of all the zombie crap as soon as it started. Just blazing my own trail; this is the JG45 Extended Solo from my line: Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing Do I have a problem?

    Soooo.........is that a good thing or a bad thing? Seriously, its not something I want to hear about or see in a $1200 action, 'specially MY $1200 action. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing Do I have a problem?

    Thought about that, and I think that is quite likely at least part of what is going on. However, I'm still concerned about the face of the bolt catch. Those are supposed to be square; this one has lost almost 2/3 of its engagement with the trigger sear....am I right? Sent from my iPad using...

    6.5 Creedmoor. Max distance.

    Can't argue with any of that. Impressive shooting from everyone, arguably more so from the "little" guns, Would like to know what the range conditions, elevation were. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing Timing a muzzlebrake

    Shims are problems waiting to happen, IMHO. Like the previous poster said, its easy for a competent smith with a decent lathe to time a muzzle device, as long as the barrel joint is square. Plus, sometimes you'll get lucky and the timing will be dead on from the start...I think its about 1 in...

    Gunsmithing Do I have a problem?

    Going through the final assembly of my 375CT project; Lawton 8000 action and barrel; XLR Chassis, Jewell BR trigger (w/ safety in trigger guard) set to 2 lbs, NightForce 5.5 - 22 X 50 scope. Here's where I ran into a hitch, quite literally: After installing the trigger, I assembled the...

    6.5 Creedmoor. Max distance.

    crunched some numbers in Shooter using 140 Amax @ 2750 fps; the paper says bad things just before the mile mark, and that was at 5000 elevation, no cross wind, 70 degrees. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Quality invevestments made by the Russians, and some help for an interesting American

    You can't be serious. It may be the "Third World", but it is also the seat of advanced mathematics. I also doubt that anyone procuring such a weapon with ill intent would put it in the hands of a "third world thug" any more than I'd worry about the armory at Fort Bragg handing out state of the...

    EDM XM408 Sight In Results...

    +1. If it doesn't shoot well at 100 yards, don't even waste your tax dollars at 1000.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    First time at 1000yards. Tell me what you think is the problem.

    Now you're on a good path; just remember, reloading is a tricky business too with a lot of variables you can control to improve your accuracy. Just don't overload yourself with too much stuff at one time; a couple of hours with one box of good factory ammo and a spotter and the trigger time...

    First time at 1000yards. Tell me what you think is the problem.

    OK, I think you're doing pretty good - for the cartridge you're shooting. I haven't run the numbers but I\m going to guess your bullet is going subsonic somewhere around 850 yards - a ballistic profile similar to a .308 shooting 168 SMKs. When the bullet transitions to subsonic, it becomes...

    Have an Armalite M4 target upper with a free floating handguards. Need the barrel threaded for a step down adapter that the Surefire supressor mount/brake will screw onto. Although Surefire provides washers for indexing the adapter so the suppressor mount threads on with the upper row of...
