    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    I'm sure that years ago, before the 300 Winchester Magnum, etc became a thing, they were trying to squeeze all the velocity possible from the 30-06.

    5.56 accuracy

    A couple of friends have purchased the 18" PSA uppers with the stainless barrels and they shoot well, under MOA.

    MK262

    I have tried N540 with 77 SMK and 80 ELD in a 24" bolt gun. No chrono data yet as I'm still looking for pressure signs as I turn it up. On edit. It may not be the best for an AR gas system.

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    Typically, an increase of one inch of barrel length, will add around 25 feet per second to the velocity. The benchrest crowd claim barrels ~22" provide the best balance of speed and accuracy.

    MK262

    I've had to do the same but the 75 ELD-M is a good replacement, just a higher price point. Why don't you load Mk262 as well? I've been loading mine with 77 SMK or Nosler CC with success. The 77 SMK with N140 is a performer. My friend likes the 73 ELD-M

    I got to Watch Every Competitor

    Great thread. There are a lot of shooters that spend way more time worrying about SD on their Garmin chrono and shooting little groups, than practicing all the other aspects of the sport.

    Brake or no brake on 10.5" 6mm arc?

    I have a 11.5 5.56 BCM upper that I bought second hand. The previous owner put a Griffin blast shield on it, and which works as intended. Really takes the edge off.

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    Beautiful rifle. $800 seems fair if the bore is in good shape.

    Found a 1903 Springfield with a massive barrel

    That looks similar to mine, supposedly built for the Marine Corp rifle team.

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    I would do a 223 and have the chamber reamed to 223AI. You can get pretty close to 22-250 velocities. Cheap brass, because you always lose some when oit hunting. Fireforming is a thing but accuracy is still great when forming so you can use them for practice loads. Barrel life is longer than...

    resizing range pickup 5.56 brass

    Is all the brass the same headstamp? Do you use a case headspace gauge? I've only had issues when using brass with a variety of headstamps. Most brass is fine but once in a while I will get an odd one, or one that has been fired in what must be a huge chamber, and the headspace is long, even...

    Can a tuner improve these sub MOA groups?

    I would spend the money on ammo and practice more in as many conditions as you can.
