    Gunsmithing 223 Ackley Barrel length

    My old 22" 223AI was shooting 88s at 2840. Lots of freebore though and on the spicy side. Shot great though.

    6mm creedmoor short barrel

    Got my barrel back, cut to 19". I have some new bullets from fort Scott munitions I am trying out. 90gr solid coppers. Seem to be working real well. Shot them to 1k at 6k air density. The comparison photo is a 112gr MB, 90GR FSM, and 115gr DTAC. Settled at 3094 once the barrel sped up a bit...

    American Rifle Company Black Friday and Cyber Week Sale

    Ok ok, rationalize is the proper word. If they run this next year, I'll be in for a mausingfield. I'll put the bombproof guarantee to the test

    American Rifle Company Black Friday and Cyber Week Sale

    I couldn't justify another rifle or action, but I did talk my brother into an Archimedes. What a great sale.

    6mm creedmoor short barrel

    Just a 19" barrel cut up. I'll have data in a few weeks. Reviewing the shorty thread and other threads, 2850-2900 with 110+ gr seems quite possible. Should be a handy package

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. overall the packing isn't terrible, but cut everything you can. it's three days and your life doesn't hinge on a survival mirror. the small cuts here and there add up. you can lose a lb or three with the right rifle setup. the get lite will help. shoot...

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    Well, then I might drop my nalgene if they provide bottles. and yes, this match sold out in something like 4 hours this year. the waitlist is long i'm sure too.

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    I missed last year. Do they provide water jugs too? I like my Nalgene because i can easily mix my electrolytes in it and chug it. I am a heavy sweater so for me, the cooler the weather, the better.

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    I shoot out west where there is a constant 10mph wind or so it. I feel like my wind calling is decent enough. I also typically shoot a dasher with 115s at 2850, which the creed can match at that barrel length. so it's a wash with the wind to me. When i look at the match, I prioritize the...

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    After strong internal debates, I've decided on a 19" 6creed. Light and fast enough to buck what little wind there is out there. I'm not in as good as shape as some of the competition, so weight is always a factor. It's three days. I can live without a lot. If it snows or rains like 19, I'll...

    112 match burners tumbling

    Well I'm glad I'm not the only one with a problem with them. I had gone through about 2k through my dasher and 6creed no problems. I switched to a new lot and new 6 creed barrel and couldn't get them to shoot. Like laughably bad groups. So I switched to another 6 creed barrel and then back to my...

    Rifle Competition Events Mammoth 2022

    I used that as well in 2020. I'll be back again this year, hopefully with an even lighter pack. I was at 42lbs last time. this time, hoping to be under 40lbs. Thinking of running my 223 ackley in place of a larger caliber since 90% of are less than 600 yards.

    Thanks to our sponsors

    Having shot this series this year, this was very well done. Great group of guys, fun but challenging courses of fire and a investment by sponsors that punched above it's weight class.

    6.5 staball for 6 dasher

    35-37 grains work well for 112s. Check the big Staball thread for some more info

    Precision Rifle Gear .22 Caliber Cartridge for PRS/NRL

    223 Ackley gets my vote. Cheaper to run, less recoil and better barrel life. Seems like the 22br runs 88's at 3000ish from that 22br thread. Mine runs between 2840-2860. At 1k, that's .2 mils extra wind with a 5mph wind.

    American Rifle Company Independence from Tyranny Sale

    Nucleus is a "standard" style of bolt lift similar to a Remington. Heavy lift imo unless you drop the spring weight down. Solid and reliable though. Archimedes- on the bolt lift you are only resetting the spring. Pretty light lift, easy to stay on target. The extraction is on the pull back so...

    Damn..... I wish I could get another Archimedes. It just ain't in the cards right now. Solid deal on the actions.

    223 AI powders besides 8208

    N140, varget and h4895 have all worked well with 88s
