    Failure to fire.. bad primers?

    I had this happen to a bunch of Prime (Norma) .260 ammo a few years ago. It was with a last of the Remington 700s before bankruptcy. They started using a different firing pin assembly and it always seemed weak. It got to the point where it ruined several primers. I ended up replacing the...

    5.56 Hybrid case @ 80k PSi.

    I think I know where the trouble started.

    Powder Valley has 1# 8208XBR

    I'm not sure if anybody cares about it any more, but there you go for like $55

    5.56 Hybrid case @ 80k PSi.

    If someone made the steel brass hybrid case in 5.56, loaded with a charge that produced 80k, and stuck a 77 grain SMK on top at mag length of 2.260 it would be some super velocity Mk262. You seem to be confusing the 2.800 6.8x51 which IS in an AR10 variant with 5.56 ARs.

    Geissele 6 ARC in service with SOCCOM, some hands on comments.

    Ok, I'll throw this in to bring the simmer back up to a boil. Are not the 6 ARC and 6 Max identical ballistic-wise? I know there's much discussion prior just in this thread about the strength of the Grendel bolt but the 6 MAX just makes more sense to me with the common bolt. It seems to be the...

    White oak armament accuracy

    I'm just curious now as it appears I've missed something. You can order a WOA barrel with a Compass Lake CLE chamber?

    It's now official. JTAC Ranch closing

    Sounds like a drone would come in handy. I'm pretty sure 1 square mile is 640 acres, for Florida acreage, that's not gonna be cheap.

    It's now official. JTAC Ranch closing

    Well, at least that's an update Mike. It doesn't seem like the best time to find land, if there's any left! But I'll be hopeful.

    Looking for budget friendly glass

    I'll give you another option. Just buy an SWFA 10x fixed with the quad mil reticle. That's within your budget, and they work. Or you can try and find their 3-9x. Buy decent 30mm rings and even if you need larger diameter later you can always sell them.

    Where to buy Zeiss S3?

    They were all on sale then from Zeiss IIRC. I believe they were all 25% off. For the OP, Expert Voice offers a good savings if you're a veteran.

    What can cause accuracy to fall apart at 700 yards?

    It might just be me but I've never been able to get those to shoot as well as the 175 SMK in a gas gun. I never try seating depth tests when you have to load to mag length.

    What can cause accuracy to fall apart at 700 yards?

    I'll take a guess. Your bullets are the old AMAX and the tips are melting by then?

    Poor-arue .223: Yall ever buy parts that turn into rifles?

    The biggest lie I ever told myself was that I was just going to build a bunch of uppers.

    308 Bolt Catch Issuee

    I think you're being asked if you're sure you used a large frame AR charging handle.

    Help with Rem 700 ID/value

    My guess is manufactured close to bankruptcy. I have one with the same bolt, it's junk. So was the trigger, that's why it has a Triggertech.

    Seekins SP10 barrel question

    In this economy $550 for a new barrel and they do the work seems pretty good to me.

    Semi-Auto Rifle Grip Techniques

    I don't shoot any kind of matches with rifles. I have short fingers. Even if my thumb is wrapped around the pistol grip I have to break my grip to reach for the safety with my thumb on an AR. I have to float my thumb to get a 90* trigger finger. An ambi safety is a much better solution for me...
