    223 Ackley Improved

    Prometheus action came in and K&P barrel should be here in January. The action is unbelievably nice. Barrel will be 28” finished length, 1:7 twist, and .219 bore. Chamber will be a .155fb and the goal will be to get 85.5, 88s, or 90SMKs up to 2850-2900 while feeding reliably from modified AICS...

    Suppressors Can Someone Spend Money For Me?

    Omega is my oldest suppressor and IMO probably still one of the best do-it-all cans you can get. I use mine on EVERYTHING. Of course I’ve supplemented my collection since I got the Omega, and while I have newer, quieter, lesser recoiling, etc. cans, none of them are anywhere close to as...

    Diagnose my failures to fire - Rem700 *SOLVED*

    Did you try different ammo? Can the issue be replicated with anything other than M118LR? It should be very easy to isolate rifle or ammo as the culprit… start there.

    .223 velocities with Berger 85.5s?

    There are F-Class guys running .165+ fb single shot 30s not getting anywhere close to those speeds.

    .223 velocities with Berger 85.5s?

    H4895. IMR is pretty comparable but you’ll probably need to tweak the load, it won’t be a 1:1. LOL if you’re actually running this fast with 85.5s you’re at like 80k psi+.

    .223 velocities with Berger 85.5s?

    I’m running 2775 with 90SMKs and Varget. 27” barrel with .155fb. 4895 is slightly faster in the same gun. I could go higher still with minimal pressure but brass life goes in the toilet. 85.5s were around the same speeds because of the longer bearing surface and actually hit pressure sooner...

    Kelby Action (Atlas)

    They are g2g. I don’t have an Atlas Tac but I do have a Prometheus and it easily hangs with the best of them. If you’re buying new, I’d tell you just spend the extra couple bucks and get the Prometheus…. But for secondary market Atlas Tac prices, they’re tough to beat.

    electronic ears muffs

    If you can swing it, these are WELL worth the investment. About the same price as the Howard Leights with gel cups… https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/3m-peltor-eep-100eu-stupid-price-last-chance.7197385/#post-11263827 I’ve gone through probably a dozen sets of HLs over the years...

    Firearms Defiance Deviants - 308 & 223BF

    @ncboiler - legit member since 2010 w/feedback @ncboiIer - using an uppercase “i” instead of lowercase “L” Sneaky cocksucker. Good catch.

    Lapua .223 Brass Broke in Half

    I’ll echo what @DeathBeforeDismount is saying here. .004-.006” bump is absolutely acceptable, if not even preferred for PRS/field matches for the exact reasons stated. Still, there’s no telling how much OP has been bumping his shoulders. Anything more than .006 can/will depreciate case life...

    Howa Mini questions

    Did we ever figure out the 20” vs 22” barrel threads? From what I can tell the 20” is the “heavy barrel (HB)” with the larger 5/8 thread diameter. The 22” is the smaller 1/2 threads? Can anyone confirm?

    Seeking advice on Tikka barrel length and trigger style.

    Now we’re talking. Let me know when, I’ll bring mine to one of the WAR 1-days and shoot 75s, bring yours and shoot 77s or whatever TAC bullet you deem superior. In the name of science and gentleman’s bets. Don’t shoot much NH anymore and I’ll stay home before I ever go back to Mayberry, lol.

    Seeking advice on Tikka barrel length and trigger style.

    LOL I’d be willing to bet an overwhelming majority of TAC class guys shooting .223 are shooting 75ELD. Of the ones I know in this regional, all of them are shooting 75s. I’ve shot a metric fuckton of 75s. Never blown one up in a .223, and that includes a 6.5 twist. I’ve blown up more 88s than...

    AR15 receiver/handguard choice for 6mmARC build

    The 360Precision units are legit. I have one of his combo sets and it’s really nice. I also like BCM uppers. $49 blems right now and thermal fit.

    Seeking advice on Tikka barrel length and trigger style.

    Holy hell man, lay off the bourbon. Who the fuck actually shoots PVA solids except PVA stans? Things haven’t been relevant since well… ever. SMKs are great for gassers but did we not look at BCs? Do we understand how those work? I can’t stand Hornady stuff, especially their bullets. But I’ll...

    Seeking advice on Tikka barrel length and trigger style.

    A fine plan. But this all boils down to what you want to do, how much you want to spend, and how competitive you want to be. Tikka is a fine choice. .223 is a fine choice. 75 ELDs are fine bullets. You'll have no issues with that plan as long as you properly set expectations. A couple things to...
