    6.5cm AR10 ammo recommendation for lighter loads. NOT a cycling problem

    i'm sorry, i thought i put that in the post. i was shooting the federal gold medal match 6.5cm with the 130gr berger hybrid otm. so you think the bolt is moving backward before the gas has time to do it's thing? do you think adding another tungsten weight to the buffer would help?

    6.5cm AR10 ammo recommendation for lighter loads. NOT a cycling problem

    well,, i did shine a light down it and it looked good, peeking in from the upper, using good flashlight. I actually reloaded for years, and chased the mythical carbon ring a few times, but being wiser now, ( i think), so i took a step back and said hmmmm. i can't believe a carbon...

    6.5cm AR10 ammo recommendation for lighter loads. NOT a cycling problem

    bummer, i had almost a whole case of that ammo, which is what i had laying around when i started using in this gun 2 years ago, and i never noticed the pressure signs with those 15 ish shots,,, so as i was putting this thing back into action, i ordered ANOTHER CASE of the fgmm 130 gr berger...

    6.5cm AR10 ammo recommendation for lighter loads. NOT a cycling problem

    well, defintely ejector mark, medium heavy. also a mark from inside the bolt where it has cut out. flat primers, no cratering though. and some extractor marks. how does someone see if chamber is on the large side? actually, i think i know. will go measure.

    6.5cm AR10 ammo recommendation for lighter loads. NOT a cycling problem

    I've already had a couple decent recommendations,,, is there any consensus out there? 16" barrel. getting pressure marks on current choice. I really don't want to started reloading for this gun, it's not a daily shooter. just some decent ammo but not factory "hot"

    blown primer in factory fgmm 6.5cm ar10 question

    i have not yet, next on the list. i wasn't trying to re-invent the wheel on this,, i have posted asking if anyone knows of an existing factory cartridge that is kind of well known to work in an ar10 6.5. i guess i just trust federal to not over crimp their match ammo.

    blown primer in factory fgmm 6.5cm ar10 question

    yes, i have been gathering more info, I suspect this ammo is just to hot for this rifle, I am looking for some factory 6.5 cm ammo that is hopefully loaded below sammi specs. someone suggested hornady black. i'm not a hornady fan but seems like easiest solution.

    blown primer in factory fgmm 6.5cm ar10 question

    situation: hoping this isn't a stupid question. maybe just the gas block. bought a very low round count ar10, decent components, Criterion 16 inch barrel. JP matched high pressure bolt. JP silent capture springs. Rise Armament Trigger, unknown adjustable gas block, anyway,, when i got...

    Kestrel 5700 elite bullet library question Berger 130 hybrid OTM not listed?

    thanks, what is ironic, is i had put a call into kestrel, and I asked them this same question and they consulted with their bullet "guru's" who said that it was not the same, the AR was a totally different bullet.

    Kestrel 5700 elite bullet library question Berger 130 hybrid OTM not listed?

    was putting a new profile into my kestrel via the kestrellinkballistic APP on my iphone. surprised to see there is no listing for the berger 130gr hybrid OTM there is the hunting VLD, and a target VLD, and then in between those is a Berger tactical AR Hybrid. which is what i picked...

    Suppressors what are the cool guys using on suppressor threads?

    man, just as there was a consensus to use some type of lube, someone has to throw a grenade in the pool! question: with my first suppressors, years ago, I would put them on dry, leave them on for a while, and it seemed they got "stuck" on and i would have to constantly put them in the...

    Suppressors what are the cool guys using on suppressor threads?

    I usually put a dab of phil's tenacious oil before threading on suppressor stuff, to help get it off later. is there anything way better to use?
