    223 Ackley Improved

    Went back and tried it again. Didn't get a chance to test the rounds in the heat but I did test the brass. LC 16 is the clear winner. One of the best groups I've ever shot. 2868 fps, sd of 6. Lapua brass just isn't for this rifle I guess.

    223 Ackley Improved

    Lapua, though I plan on switching to LC 16. I get better velocity and lower SD's oddly enough. Plus LC brass is dirt cheap. Yeah, I know it's screaming, but it shoots so well. I'll check the load on a day hotter than the 85* i tested it in to make sure it doesn't start piercing primers and what not.

    223 Ackley Improved

    I'll let you know once I get a couple firings. I'd expect 2-3. Primers are cratered, but no ejection marks or gas from the primer pocket.

    223 Ackley Improved

    Savage 10 1/7 Bartlein 22'' heavy palma 88gr ELD-M 25.6gr XBR 8208 approx 1/2 MOA, plenty good for short range matches and practice. approx 2860- seems to be the velocity node. This load is very very hot. Work up to it and don't expect good brass life.

    PRS Talk 2021 Mammoth Sniper Challange

    What are your thoughts on 308 vs 223 for mammoth? My.partner shot a 223 and for the most part wasn't limited at all by the choice. A fast 223 will beat a 308 in all categories but energy. I'm asking because I'm shooting secondary this year and trying the decide between the two

    Gunsmithing Making a custom wood stock from scratch

    Thank you for posting this. I have been planning on making my own out of my grandfather's lumber he left behind from a mixture of walnut and cherry. Did you check the moisture content before the glue up? My understanding is that less than 8% is needed to prevent the wood from drying out or...

    PRS Talk 2021 Mammoth Sniper Challange

    I had enough of the train harder mentality when I was in. Work smarter is better. It wasn't too hard or relatively expensive to get a 10lb rifle with good ballistics. It wasn't that hard to pack lighter or leave the tripod at home. I mean to each their own and there is nothing wrong with your...

    Ultralight bolt action in some 6mm flavor, carbon fiber or short barrel, no frills pistol, ultralight pack with no frame, no tent, no extra clothes, just a pair or two of socks a.d underwear, lightweight freeze dried good, etc... Maybe 20lbs is an exaggeration, but 25-30lbs with no extras could...

    PRS Talk 2021 Mammoth Sniper Challange

    Mammoth can be be distilled to three things, in this order, imho: 1. Survival- you don't get shit if you don't finish 2. Target engagement- you get nothing if you can't hit your target. So your weapons had better work and communication needs to work 3. Comfort- you probably won't hit shot or...

    This year will be my third time doing it. Last two years the weather has been super warm and who knows what it'll be next time. Lighter is better, but pick your battles. I chose a osprey 70l for the extra support and comfort. It was nice being able to just throw everything in without packing...
