    Gunsmithing Aftermarket AR10 barrel headspace issue

    About 4 years ago, I bought and installed a barrel on an Eagle Arms AR10. The seller claimed it was a barely used Mike Rock 5R, and so far, I have no reason not to believe him. At the time, I didn't have head space gauges, but installed it anyway. I realize that I exposed myself to potential...

    trim and chamfer cases... really fast. :)

    I disagree. I could smoke that guy trimming mil-surp brass with my plain old Forster trimmer, without having to check for concentricity. I've used the Lee trimmer with a power Rigid cordless drill, without the vicegrips. Anytime you try to accomplish 2 stages of operation at once, you piss away...

    Hornady 75gr HPBT accuracy

    I have a 16" 1-8 Polygonal twist Ranier Arms "select" barrel that I heard was made by BHW. I have had a hard time getting it to shoot well with anything. It is stainless with some kind of black finish that looks like it is in the bore also. I have not given up on it. That's good news about the...

    Hornady 75gr HPBT accuracy

    I've been shooting the 77gr Noslers out of a RRNM AR15 and a DPMS, same setup for a couple of years now. I don't shoot matches, but this bullet has been really accurate out to 700yds, consistently. My stash of 77gr & Data 74 powder is almost gone, so I bought a few boxes of 100 Hornady 75gr hpbt...

    Rifle Scopes Thinking about selling my glass...

    I was inches from buying the scope you have now, but jumped on the Sightron SIII 6-24x50 FFP MOA3 instead. I read enough reviews that indicated superior glass to the HDMR, as well as superb tracking. I was never able to compare the two, but glass is running with my Nightforce, and beating Leupy...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns My Criterion Savage Pre-fit Experience

    My Bad, I thought I was in the gunsmith section. It's shit like this that makes me want to pull all my pistol rounds, to make sure I didn't double charge.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns My Criterion Savage Pre-fit Experience

    I ordered a 24" 1/10" .308 Savage pre-fit from NSS, to put on my $280. Bi-Mart 11fcxp3 package gun. The barrel showed up in a month, fairly quick. The barrel shank was cut too long, and was bottoming out on the bolt lugs at about .040 too long. Through Jim Briggs, I returned the barrel...

    Rifle Scopes JP 6.5 Grendel Target Rifle--Would a 6.5-20 x50 Scope Be Overscoping??

    Hey, precision308, I am using 30.4gr AA2520 with a 123gr Scenar. What make is your rifle? I got mine, an AA 19.5" Hunter, from Arne Brennan at CSS about 8 years ago. 1k rounds later, accuracy has fallen off lately. I found gobs of gas leaking from around my gas block, so I removed it, and found...

    Rifle Scopes JP 6.5 Grendel Target Rifle--Would a 6.5-20 x50 Scope Be Overscoping??

    My Grendel is not a particularly flat shooting rifle. I am pushing the 123gr Scenars to 1k at 2550 fps, and REALLY have to pay attention to catch the dirt splash on missed shots. The conclusions I draw from this are: First, clarity trumps magnification when trying to spot low energy impacts at...

    Ammo recommendation for 16" Armalite AR10 carbine...

    Are you running the infantry weight chrome lined barrel, or the stainless HB? I have the chrome lined barrel, and am getting a modest 1.25" group at 100yds with 150gr Nosler Ballistic tips. I Have run the high B.C. Lapua and Berger 155gr match bullets with better accuracy, and they carry more...

    How to quiet a squeaking pack

    I had this problem last year bowhunting elk on the coast, with an Allen pack. Nylon strap squeeking on a D-ring. I used vegetable oil.

    Rifle Scopes Mil Dot Clarification/Help

    I don't know how long you have been shooting, but you seem to be ahead of where I was, when I was just starting out with cheap optics. I really wish I knew about this site 10 years ago, because the ass ripping you get for succumbing to the cosmetic & economical appeal of a junk scope is far less...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 bling mag conversion to detachable mag?

    I cannot seem to find any 30-06 specific magazines for the PTG metal. I called Wyatt's Outdoor, and they indicated that they sell a long action magazine with feed lips that will accommodate standard long action rounds, like .270 & 30-06.

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 bling mag conversion to detachable mag?

    I just scored a ADL in 30-06. At $125 bucks for a factory BDL assembly, I'm half way to a detachable mag setup, but am having a hard time finding mags made specifically for 30-06. I have the Wyatts for my 300wm, and 30-06 rounds just ass dive at about the 3rd round. What detach mag assembly...

    Hornady 195 gr HPBT in 308

    Wow. I haven't seen this bullet yet. What is the B.C.? I have been running 46.5gr Alliant 2000mr in Fed brass pushing the Nosler 190gr CC. I also push the Hornady 208gr Hpbt to bang steel at 1300yds, with 47gr 2000mr, but in the roomier Winchester brass. These loads are in uncharted territory...

    Range Report 308 Win, 208 AMax, RL17

    Reading this post got me shooting the 208's out of my .308 28" 5R. I could not get the Amax to group, and crunched powder to the point of inconsistent OAL's using RL17. I switched to Win brass, then switched to the 208gr hpbt, which is shorter, Alliant's 2000mr, then finally, the Wyatt's detach...

    Range Report 6.5 Grendel Range Report

    I have used R-15 with 123gr Scenars out of 20" barrel. Accuracy was consistently outstanding, but I could never compress enough powder to get above 2480fps. I run 30.8gr of AA2520 now and that load chronos at 2580fps. The 123gr AMax is a shorter bullet and gives room for more powder capacity...

    Anyone got a Savage 110FCP in 338LM?

    I got one, and It is marginally accurate. Roughest bore I've ever seen. My barrel stayed cooler & fouled less after I fire lapped. If you want to fuck around, solving problems, at five bucks per round plus gas, I would say go for it. Bed the optic rail and locktight the screws. I tightened them...

    Gunsmithing Cryo Treating The Action?

    I've been researching Savage drop-in barrels for my 110Fcp-HS in .338LM, and came across a thread at Savage Shooters forum that described the actions of these rifles as being barely adequate to accommodate the beating that the .338LM can dish out over long term use. I ordered a Rock Creek 30"...

    Bumping shoulder on loaded rounds

    Shot about 100 of them last weekend. Function was perfect, but could only achieve 3 moa at best. I've decided to pull the rest of them, resize and go from there. I just don't like how the bullets are loose in the caseneck.
