    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Not the Barnes, but 130gr TGK, this was with new brass, usually runs around 2,750 fps.

    338 ARC

    You'd think not, but it took forever to get 6 ARC brass as a component when it came out... Supply chains and whatnot back then, but still.

    Primer blowout

    I'm sure all manufacturers can have issues, but the brass colored Winchester primers are known for having had many lots with this defect in the past, specifically in the '08-'13 timeframe. The ones I had were WLRs, and it seems like those are the most cited online, but there are reports of the...

    Primer blowout

    That looks like the patented Winchester primer shoulder pinhole defect, how old are these primers? Probably 15 years ago they had a bunch of WLRs with this defect, I had some and at least one non-swappable bolt head that got etched. I think they wound up replacing bolts for some folks, would...

    Rifle Scopes MK5 HD 2-10x new reticles coming?

    One of my Helos 2-12 was on a 300 WSM and something, I think in the parallax adjustment, gave out during a range session such that the view would go blurry after every shot. I could adjust it back to clear with the parallax knob, but it would go out again with the next shot. Sent it back for...

    208 ELDM and 212 ELDX in 30-06 questions!

    Hodgdon shows 52.4gr of H4350 as max for the 208gr ELDm, so it sounds about right being maxed out around there with the 212gr. I'd go for a slower powder to get more velocity with the heavies, in particular Staball 6.5. Book max shows 54.2gr as max, at a velocity 160fps higher than the H4350...

    Geissele's New Heavy Barrel and SOLGW Broadsword project. (Up Date, 1st Load development session 18DEC24))

    Agree with this, got one DT-PR to try out and I think it's going to wind up on some of my other rifles too.

    16” 6.5 creedmoor?

    I'm talking about those two loads he cited as normal .308 loads, not the 80ksi loads. He hints that they are book loads or a half grain under, but he's getting 150fps - 200fps more than most folks and won't just come out and say what the actual load is.

    16” 6.5 creedmoor?

    Why not include the actual information here, what are your loads for these, powder and charge?

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    KAK has had a 12.5" mid-gas 6 ARC barrel product page on their site for a few weeks now, but it finally came in stock so I have one on the way to keep my 18" and 21" ARCs company. It's a low end barrel obviously, but I've had good luck with the same format from them in 5.56, and I'm going to try...

    Explain the Superlative Arms Adjustable Gas Block to me.

    I haven't really noticed big velocity dips with my SA gas blocks. I suppose the bleed off level and barrel length after the block would affect that though, and I tend to go longer on gas systems for a given barrel length. If you're going to run a can, this an interesting post by a Dead Air...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    I don't think this is true. What other published sources for ARC data are you referring to beyond Hodgdon and Hornady to make this claim? Edit: We should probably take this interesting line of discussion to the DMs to avoid derailing this thread more. I look forward to learning about new...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    Yes there are discrepancies between the data put out by the company that developed the cartridge and the company that markets but doesn't make powders. I shoot other cartridges than Grendel and ARC, the Staball question was a general question. Did you try these powders in a Grendel or ARC...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    Nah, I don't think so. I've never seen a whiff of real evidence that Hornady is putting out Grendel or ARC that is over SAAMI pressures, just speculation. Repeating speculation doesn't make it true, would love to see some real pressure data if you have it though. QL accuracy is dependent on...

    What about FN .264 LICC?

    I don't really understand what's being argued in this thread on 6 ARC vs 6.5 G, but since folks seem to be using box or Quickload numbers for 18" ARC velocities, here is factory 108gr and my main handload out of my 18". I haven't been very impressed with Quickload modeling of progressive...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    It was my main powder in my Grendel and I also use it in .308. I have some 90gr TGKs laying around, curious what your load is? I shot these spreads with AR-Comp and RL15.5 a while ago, but haven't worked up a load with either, probably stopped a bit low with the AR-Comp.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Has any one tried AR-Comp much in their ARC? I realize it's faster than optimal, but I shot this spread to check for velocity last time out, and it wasn't bad. The case heads were pristine, and I usually have a little ejector marking on my brass from my standard LVR loads suppressed, although...

    Best Hub Adapter/Brake setup for Suppressor

    I used to use Griffin Plan-a, it was ok, but I didn't like how often the adapter would stay with the muzzle device instead of the can when unmounting. Went to DA Xeno and have been satisfied, haven't had any more adapter to can issues since going to the left hand threads.

    338 ARC

    That makes things a little more interesting for us poors, I could see myself getting a daily deal upper to play with at some point, especially with some cheap AAC fodder to run. https://www.instagram.com/palmettostatearmoryofficial/p/DBrjF36yocV/

    7mm PRC

    Curious what happened, unsuccessful because you didn't get a shot, or did you have bullet problems?
