    New Larue upper 4th July Special

    Looking at the detailed photos on LaRue’s web page… it looks like a modified PredatOBR upper with screws holding the rail system to the rifle instead of quick release latches.

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    I’m playing with a 16” ar10, so I can’t get near that velocity… I would love to get som H4350 to try with my 140 grain Barnes match burners

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    I have a good load now with 120 grain ELDMs that I’m going to fire again on Monday. 37.2 grains of 8208 XBR with a BR2 primer and Hornady case. Looking at an anneler so I can make my brass more consistent before I work up ant more loads. worked up a good recipe for 107 SMKs. 38.8 grains of...

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    Gee, it’s a sniper support system for use with a dedicated sniper with a more traditional weapon. There is a need for 22-26” barrels for a 1000-1400 yard shot. The shorter barrels are excellent to use in tight terrain, instead of a 20” barrel and 10” of suppressor. The short rifle is easier...

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    Shooting some different charge weights to get more data. The 37.7 grain charge was wonky today with velocity and pressure signs in the rifle. I think that an accurate load can be found below max with some more work. I’ll let you know where I end up.

    6.5 creedmoor AR Only

    The brass is getting worked pretty hard. I’m going to need to do more research and come up with a lower charge weight.

    Why do we love the MK12 so much?

    Wanted to clone one and just built an upper with a Kriger barrel and ran with it. Wanted one when I was in, and if the opportunity arose, would get one. I have an upper with a 14.5” Noveske Afghan barrel that shoots lights out too. bought a LaRue PredatOBR with the 18” barrel and it is great...

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    I’m using the 120-123 loads because it’s what I have on hand until the supply chain opens back up.

    https://rifleshooter.com/2016/03/6-5-creedmoor-load-development-16-5-inch-barrel-123-smk-and-140-smk/ pretty happy with my velocity numbers after comparing them with a bolt gun. making a batch of 20 rounds with the IMR 8208 XBR with a 37.7 grain charge and Hornady 120 grain ELDm bullets. If...

    6.5 creedmoor AR Only

    The sweet spot on this rifle is 2.800” OACL...and 41.0 grains of IMR 4350. Now getting ready to load 20 to test at 200 yards. Also working on loads with 120 grain ELD to see if I can get the speeds up a bit out of the shorter barrel.

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    Was able to go out and shoot for accuracy 4 loads of 120 ELDm over 8208xbr. My largest load yielded the best results. 37.7 grains under the bullet with a 2.675 OACL was a 1/2” 3 shot group, 1“ 4shot group, and 2” 5 shot group. Speeds were slow coming out of the 16” barrel with 2645fps with a...

    123 ELDM / 8208XBR

    No, I’m using IMR 4451 and IMR 4350. I’m using the XBR for 123 grain bullets and lighter. I want to get some 107 grain SMKs to try, but they are unobtanium right now.
