    Cheapest way toward a decent AR

    I have always bought off the shelf and did the additions as needed, you may find off the shelf fits the bill. My dpms LR 260 got all the little goodies and shot in 6's with factory 24" bull barrel. Another dpms 223 oracle 16" barrel 499.00 and trigger upgrade would only do 1".......so I went all...

    Help With .223 OCW

    I agree with spife7980. A lot of other questions to really know for sure, if only going by this target I would say it doesn't like the combo. With that being said, what is your brass prep, what is your neck tension, how are you measuring your powder, did you shoot off a bipod, the list goes on...

    Brass Cleaning and Annealing for SH Members!

    I just received 400 223 lapua cases back from Bob, super quick turn around as always. It should also be noted that I didn't use any packing material inside my lapua boxes when I sent them, however Bob being the man he is, went ahead and put packing material in there for me on the way back. These...

    OCW 18" WOA Barrel

    200 yard testing was horrible. I did a check against another lot of powder and it is 50fps slower. Come to think of it, I was also getting worse results with the Kreiger once I moved to the new powder. Is it possible to get a bad or inconsistent powder? I also did and OCW with 69smk's and...

    OCW 18" WOA Barrel

    Padom they are the 77smk's. I agree its on the high side for the powder, but I pushed it because the speed wasn't there on the lower charges, as well as accuracy was not there at 23.7 in LC brass. FPS on that load was 2656 so I wanted to test the upper end. This is a new batch of XBR and it...

Load of XBR, Rem 7-1/2 primers, 77hpbt at 1.856 ogive, or 2.250, (just under mag length for me) 23.7-24.5 on the powder. Shot off rear bag and Harris bi pod. Barrel has 125 rounds through it. It started...

    H4350 dpms lr-260

    With H4350 I would agree getting close to the edge. In my DPMS .260 I run it on the low side, but very accurate. With RP brass and 123 scenar's, 42.6 2750-2775. I also shoot 140 smk's and 140 Amax's with Lapua Brass 41.5@2640. The 140's ended up being more accurate than the 123, but very slight...

    Choate Tactical Stock for Savage model 12 LRP???????

    Good read, thanks. I think I will start 30 and 30, once I get a good load I will go back and run it though different torque specs.

    One bullet to the next.....making a switch?

    Then I am not crazy I read so much about being into the lands that it makes me nervous to be so far away and always think something could be better. I also assume that my A.R. was just more sensitive Than a bolt gun?

    One bullet to the next.....making a switch?

(looks promising, but always 1 flyer 2-3" away from the rest at 400yrds?)I have a question for those experts out there and hope...

    Real world 3 and 5 shot group expectations

    Re: Real world 3 and 5 shot group expectations I think this kind of answers my question. For what its worth if I overlay darn near 30 3 shot rounds, then I am pretty clost to 1.5 @ 200 yards. Sounds like I need to get out and really shoot 10 5 shot groups. I will try this weekend if I get a...

    Real world 3 and 5 shot group expectations

    Re: Real world 3 and 5 shot group expectations I just started shooting 5 shot groups, instead of 3. And 1 out of 5 were under 1.5 @ 200. The other 4 ranged from 1.921-2.741 I guess I am trying to understand consistency. How many 1.5 groups need to be shot, out of a 10 shot group to call it...
