    Rainier Ultra Match vs CLE Douglas vs JP 6.5 Grendel Barrel?

    No. It was an add on after building the barrel. It wasn’t on the build a barrel choice until you went to check out. To be clear. Again. I didn’t have a problem paying it. Brought it up to let folks know the prices on web site were actually higher.

    Grey Ghost Precision Barrel Nut Fitment

    On a Proof CF AR-10 barrel. Barrel was thermally fit to the upper. ID of barrel nut is 1.170ish, and OD of Proof CF 6.5CM Barrel Shank is 1.200. I have the GGP 18” hand guard that barrel came with? Suggestions? Thinking of finding a machine shop to take .004 out of barrel nut. Want a...

    JP SCS H2 Spring for .224V

    May be a dumb question. I have a JP SCS H2 for a build. Mega upper and lower, head spaced bolt, adjustable gas block and a Barg CLE 224V 22” barrel. Any suggestions on which of the 5 springs to start? Have a spare steel and tungsten weight to tune. Want to push a bit on velocity and not...

    Rainier Ultra Match vs CLE Douglas vs JP 6.5 Grendel Barrel?

    I am not disappointed. You pay for quality. Times are tough. Good employees are hard to find, supply chain issues, and increased supply chain prices. I will gladly pay for quality.

    Rainier Ultra Match vs CLE Douglas vs JP 6.5 Grendel Barrel?

    I ordered a Bart .224V from CLE 7/30/22. Came in the mail today. 13 weeks was my real world wait, they quoted 12 weeks when I bought it. Well worth the wait to me. CLE is charging an extra $120 on some barrels. Mine had a $120 tack on when done. It’s probably due to shipping costs and...

    Dead Air Wolfman

    Looking for my first can. I have a PCC and want to SBR both it and a standard frame for 300BO and 5.56. Looking for one can for both. The Dead Air Wolfman has came out of my research to be an option. It can take sub and supersonic ammo. Any others I am missing? Any negative reviews of the...

    224 Valkyrie Barrel

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Compass Lake custom AR barrel. So I am leaning Bartlien (you only live once, why not build it right), but am stumped on 20” vs 22”. It will not be threaded. So any thoughts on length or the 4 brands that Compass Lake offers? I will get the matching bolt...

    Primer Shortage

    Natchez still has lots of primers, you just have to be willing to pay the price. Ordering 5K of each at a time cuts hazmat and shipping.

    Primer Shortage

    All kinds of primers at Natchez right now. Bit pricey, but I also believe it to be the new norm. $96-$126 per 1K, 5K limit. I ordered CCI-41’s.

    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    Silverdale Washington Sportsman’s has 8# Varget. $366.99. Was one left after I bought one. Get it before I do tomorrow. Seems steep but really only 10% higher than Hodgdon site. Vets discount knocks 5% off

    Shims, crush washers... both? SF3P

    Is there any difference in accuracy (all things being equal) between shimming a muzzle device or using a crush washer? Asking (for a friend-me) on a Ranier Ultra Match Barrel I can’t (and have had others shoot) get better than 1” anything I do. It does 1-1 1/4” always. Boringly always...

    Trigger Pins Walk Out

    Aero Standard Lower with Enhanced Upper. Nice build. JP SCS. Standard BCG. Luth-AR MBA-1 buttstock. Ranier Arms Ultramatch 308 barrel. I am not the best shot, but not bad. It honestly is 1 MOA (5 shots) with about any load I have made with 175 SMKs and 4064 or CFE223. I have stopped load...

    Dumb Question (Heated Brass in Oven)

    So after I wet tumble brass I dry it in the oven on the warm setting to speed the process. Didn’t pull it out the next morning, and the wife preheated the oven to 425F to bake something. It was 40 S&W brass if that matters, Wouldn’t think it would have annealed it like we anneal rifle brass...

    My first reloading attempt was a failure, what now?

    This is why for 9mm and 45 I like to load near the top end range. 9mm data is very conservative due to all the older weapons out there. It’s also why there is +P load data (Hodgdon and Sierra both offer it), out there. So I stay on high end of standard for function, but don’t want to beat...

    44 Magnum w/W231 and 180gr XTP

    I don’t have my notes handy. But I have been using W231 (actually HP38) under 175 Kieth Cast at 1000-1050fpsand 200 GDHP at right at 1100fps. I am shooting a S&W 329PD. On the Kieth I split the data between Spl and Mag loads in a mag case from the Lyman manual and worked my way up. The GDHP...
