    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    Just wanted to thank you all for the thoughts, ideas and data provided here in this thread. I started the process today with an OSS HX-QD 762 and look forward to comparing it to my current Ultra 9. I know it will louder--maybe much louder but I would willingly trade some sound for reduced...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    @snarkscarbine: Standard carbine spring and a Kyntec buffer. Swapped in the standard carbine buffer but made no difference. @Odysseus1911: Will be very hard to leave LEVERevolution. Amazing velocity, single digit SD and reasonable pressure. I use the 108 ELD-Match projectile. As a bolt...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    @BuildingConceptsllc: Thank you for bringing up the Sig SLX. That was not on my radar and while it doesn't yet seem to be available for sale that could be an interesting option. @Odysseus1911: I use Vihtavuori powders in a few rifles and do find it (N150) accurate and able to consistently...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    I have read through several threads here and in the archives, many of which became somewhat contentious. I want to avoid being a catalyst for that kind of discussion and, want to more clearly state the issue I'd like to understand more and, potentially, address. With the rifle I am inquiring...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    Hand loads with LEVERevolution but, was also the same with CFE 223 and the first few powders I tried, Varget and H4895. From my experience this is a fact of life when running a semi-auto suppressed. It is no different in my 6.5 Creedmoor SR25 or .308 semi using two different brands of...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    Yes. With the suppressor on, I close the gas port until the bolt either fails to lock open on the last round or fails to strip the next round out of the magazine. From there I open the gas port 1 or 2 detents until reliable autoloading and lock open occur. This generally gives a 2:30 to 3:30...

    Cleaner Running Suppressor Options for Semi-Autos

    I recently put together a 6mm ARC and am enjoying shooting it in different roles. I have harvested several deer with it this year, shot it out to 1000 yards on a 2 MOA steel target very successfully and, just to see what would happen, shot it at 1300 yards with a 27% hit rate on 1.5 MOA steel...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Looking through my data, I have very similar results to @Yondering. No change in speed for me from 33 to 64 degrees F. Separately, my 6 ARC put down another doe this past Saturday with the 108 ELD-M at 2730 FPS. Distance was 237 yards and she didn't take another step after impact. Very happy...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    There was a subsequent load data sheet that Hornady published specific to the gas gun, attached. I am seeing 2730 FPS out of my 21.75" barrel using 29.4 grains of LEVERevolution behind the 108 ELD-M. This is not destroying brass and 3/10ths of a grain under the max book load. I have no need...

    @Southern Custom: I looked at your website. Your work is beyond amazing. I have no doubt you'll be teaching us all about hand loading in no time at all! Happy New Year all, Henryrifle

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    @LRJammer: I used the 6.5 Grendel Type S die with great results when I first put my rifle and reloading components together. Just as @TonyTheTiger advised, I did take .03" off the bottom of my die in the lathe. On a separate note, I was at the 1300 yard range yesterday doing some testing with...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    While on the subject of velocity, I continue to be impressed with LEVERevolution. So much so that I am going to focus on that powder only in my 6mm ARC gasser. I spent some time at the range yesterday doing a little testing trying to find the best Lever/108 ELD-M load. I backed off the 29.6...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Yeah, I'd say that is full match prep! I rotated some Hornady brass back into my available stash before going to the range today. It was brass last used in original barrel and the shoulders needed to be pushed back a couple of thousandths. The brass had already been annealed and sized so, I...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Spent some time at the range today testing and had a few rounds to try with LEVERevolution. I have been using 29 grains of CFE 223 with the 108 ELDs and getting 2660 +/- 5 FPS out of my 21.75" barrel. From the early load data provided by Hornady, it looks like you get equivalent speed out of...

    7 small to medium-small doe between 80 and 250 yards in Georgia a few weekends ago. 108 ELD-M at 2670 FPS muzzle velocity. Dead on the spot!

    Very curious to hear how the Bootleg BCG performs. Have used the Rubber City Armory adjustable gas key which, works great but, it is more of a set it and forget it solution as it is not readily field adjustable. Henryrifle

    @LRBuck: That is great news that your rig is giving you good early results with factory ammo. Looking forward to hearing more. @SBRSarge: I want to be careful and only relate my experience. I have 3 Ballistic Advantage barrels. The first was a SR25 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. It shoots in the .4s...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    @Yondering & @LRRPF52: You are both very smart cookies. As have a lot of other guys, I've learned a lot from y'all and appreciate what you share--thank you! At this time, Quickload doesn't have LEVERevolution listed as a powder. I am curious how you guys use or used to use Quickload in the...
