    Re: Best Trigger? The only trigger on the market I would even consider as being the best two stage AR trigger would be the Geisele. White Oak and Compass Lake carrying them.

    223 Remington with Dillion 550

    Re: 223 Remington with Dillion 550 A couple of suggestions: 1. Use a type S small base bushing die on the single stage press. You can run it without the bushing so it will work the same as the body die. However, since it has a decaping stem you will be able to clean the primer pockets. 2...

    accuracy of 223 Wylde vs 5.56 NATO chamber

    Re: accuracy of 223 Wylde vs 5.56 NATO chamber Forgot to add: All .223 chambers are subject to carbon build up when using heavy bullet and stout powder charges. JB or USP the throat every 200-300 rounds and no problem at all.

    Re: accuracy of 223 Wylde vs 5.56 NATO chamber The Wylde chamber was designed by Bil Wylde. He is one of the original people to work onthe AR as a target rifle. The chamber is designed for both function and accuracy. For function is has generous body dimensions. For accuracy it has a smaller...

    Gunsmithing Break free bore paste

    Re: Break free bore paste It is an abrasive like JB or USP so they will continue to come out black. I use JB regularly at 200-300 round intervals. I hit the throat area to smooth out the throat and prevent carbon build up. Otherwise I use Butch's or Shooter's Choice and brushes for regular...

    Gunsmithing How to pull shell after head separation?

    Re: How to pull shell after head separation? I know I'll get flamed for this, but it is the most common solution at rifle matches: Put a new round in the chamber, push the bolt forward until you feel a bit of resistance, and then pull the bolt back out. 90% of the time the broken case comes...

    Dirty brass

    Re: Dirty brass I have done alot of .223 brass processing. Black Hills will require being tumbled ALOT longer if you use corn cob media. I don't know what powder they use, but it causes a very hard to remove residue on the necks. FWIW, walnut media will worrk faster. I throw strips of...

    Question bout Wylde chamber

    Re: Question bout Wylde chamber As others have said: full-length size each loading. You are shooting an AR, not a bench rifle. If you are looking for an advantage in accuracy from neck-sizing only you shooting the wrong rifle. I not only full-length resize, but I full-length resize with a...

    Advanced Marksmanship Fundamentals question...

    Re: Fundamentals question... Since you mention tension and fatigue after your breathing cycle I would address one area. Are you starting your extended respitory pause on the inhale or exhale? The respitory pause should be extended on the exhale. It is when your muscles are most relaxed and...

    AR-15 at 1000

    Re: AR-15 at 1000 Sig: Having done ALOT of load testing for the service rifle, I disagree with the velocities you are getting. I can easily get 2750 with 80 grain bullets out of a 20" barrel. This is multiple barrel makers, multiple bullets.

    AR-15 at 1000

    Re: AR-15 at 1000 Sterling: I think there are a couple of factors in why you don't see many people shooting service rifle @1000. First, for civilians the gap between having a competitive rifle at 1000 vs the service teams is greater than the gap for shooting across the course. This is...

    Gunsmithing Seekins lower & stuck bolt catch plunger - help!

    Re: Seekins lower & stuck bolt catch plunger - help! Sometimes there is a small burr on the plunger hole. Try holding a heavy magnet to it, may be enough to draw it out. If that doesn't work use a small rawhide mallet and give it a good rap on the opposite side of the receiver.

    Reason for Clumpy powder

    Re: Reason for Clumpy powder It is normal with some powders and is the result of static. If it is in bug chunks it can be due to powder getting wet. As far as the powder sticking to the hopper, rub the outside of the hopper with a fabric softener sheet and take a rubber band and fix it to...

    What powder is in stock and is good for .223?

    Re: What powder is in stock and is good for .223? N140. I just got 32 pounds. I have used both N140 and RL-15. Settled on RL-15 as I saw no performance difference, but RL-15 was cheeper.

    Gunsmithing Chambering Process by request

    Re: Chambering Process by request Great post and pictures. G5: you are right about barrels not being straight. Anyone that has looked down more than a few barrels after they have been indicated on both ends as they are being turned will agree.
