    Rifle Scopes New NF Turret?

    Just curious, beyond turret specs. Are reticle selections limited to commercially available options, or are they customized per bid specs, as well? Any idea what the most commonly used reticles are among the elite groups of sniper teams?

    6.5 Grendel

    My experience with both TAC and especially 8208 has been very good in the 120/123 range-8208 probably better with lighter weights. That said, MY go to powder is AR Comp, which I’ve managed to ferret away 24#. Runs cool, temp stable, excellent accuracy and SD’s in single digits, though very...

    6.5 Grendel

    LT30/32 are both on the very fast side for Grendel, regardless of bullet weight. Your brass and/or primer pockets have been pushed pretty hard based on ejector marks, and ill advised use of very fast powders purely in the hunt for velocity has a predictable result. Stay in or above Benchmark...

    6.5 Grendel

    I’d figure about 20 fps per inch of barrel, so would expect 2570ish in a 20” barrel. You above 28gr of TAC to get 2467 in a 14.5? I have a handful of 20” barrels of various manufacturers and get 2550 +\- 25fps depending on chamber and load specs, without stepping too hard on primer pockets...

    Recommend a place to have my glock slide cut for a RMR.

    Is it reasonable to assume all of the provided references will do same quality work on an Sig 320X5 slide? Want to mount an SRO as low as possible without affecting function in any manner.

    Whos bolt is this?

    Not positive, but think Lilja used Maxim bolts when buying a new barrel and getting a headspaced bolt.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Just finished last small details on 4 of 5 of these on V7 Sovereign receiver sets for a good friend. Still waiting for JP FMOS BCG’s and last barrel, but was able to run a box through and break in these four with a spare BC and properly headspaced bolt. Garage does more than double duty, and a...

    Tractor Supply kicked in the nuts over DEI

    I saw the same scenario noted above in better part of 40 years in a highly pressurized manufacturing environment, run by very similar MBA’s at the behest of the private equity ownership that switched hands every five years. New ownership would always bring in their fleet of consultants, who most...

    Plated bullets, not bad at all

    Have been using Precision Delta 124/147’s for both ESP/PCC with great consistency, accuracy and are very cost effective over about 7-8k rounds. A bit more expensive than Berrys, but reliability is worth it.

    Midway Factory Seconds

    Not worked with Sierra or Hornady seconds, but have sorted and shot a couple thousand Nosler 123CC’s . Primary issue was variation in ogival length by as much as .024. Once sorted, shot fine.

    22ARC buffer system advice

    Thanks. These are going to be built on V7 Sovereign FA receivers with a bunch of V7 kit. My thought is that it might be easier to tune the A5 with buffer weight and/or springs, though my experience is largely Grendel/223 related. Not sure if ARC. needs a T1/T2 buffer for proper function, as...

    22ARC buffer system advice

    Have a current project to put together 5 22ARC AR’s for a friend and his family. Not a 100% blank check, but am going quite light per request. Am normally a JP SCS user in an assortment of 223/6.5GR, and have no reason to believe they wouldn’t work in 22ARC, but have no experience with the A5...

    155 ELD-Ms 308 Gas Gun Powders / Loads

    Have had excellent results with Varget, 8208 and AR Comp with most all varieties of 155’s in an 11.25” twist 20” Schneider barrel, 210m, in annealed Hornady or Lapua brass.
