    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    Good points. I do not yet own a 6ARC but am considering it, and would like to use the powders I have on hand. After I asked my question, I put some info into GRT software to see how the numbers looked. Case volume of 34.2 gr H20 and a 105 Berger Hybrid, tried to keep the load close to 55kpsi...

    6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

    I am also curious about N540. It has been a great powder for me in 223, using the 80 ELD and running them long - 2.50", 2880 out of a 26" Krieger Anyone try N133? It's THE powder for the benchrest guys in 6PPC, but they run lighter bullets. I've used it with 77s in 223 and while you can...

    Mk12 Monday?

    My son with his Mod H, shooting at the long range. My Mod 0, which is a work in progress. I've been collecting parts for forever and then decided one day I was going to shoot it. I need to finish the lower and install the front sight.

    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    I'm wondering why you couldn't put a little grease and an o-ring on the ball detent to keep the elements out.

    Vortex 2-10 PST vs 1-10 Razor

    If you think you will ever need 1X for close shots, etc, then I would go with the Razor.

    If I ever get a 3D printer, the first thing on the list of gun stuff would be to try some custom rail covers.

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    That isn't my experience. I shot this target years ago in arfcom's MOA All Day Long challenge with my 1:8 Tikka Sporter. Rules were 100 yards, off a bipod and a small rear bag. Five, 5 shot groups had to average sub MOA The rifle was new to me and I was trying to see what it liked, so I...

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    I agree with this. Get a 1/8 twist Tikka. My 7.5 twist Krieger 223AI shoots the 53 Vmax into little ragged holes.

    308 Pistol 12.5" load development

    A word of caution when making subsonic 308s. If you are using light charges of a fast burning powder and you accidentally double charge because of the case volume, the results could be catastrophic.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Mine looks pretty similar to Defender3's setup. The top is a solid core door with a layer of 3/4" OSB, sanded with multiple coats of urethane. With presses and gear on top, and at least 200 lbs of brass, bullets, etc on the bottom shelf, it's solid as a rock.

    Rifle crown condition

    What is your experience level with rifles? Can you typically shoot better than 1-1/4? What ammo are you using? I have a 222 Remington that has some spots in the barrel that had rust from the previous owner. It will put 5 shots into a dime at 100 yards with 52 BTHP Hornady handloads.
