    I’m stumped..help

    Once fired brass closes easily, and it passes a go/no go gauge test.

    I’m stumped..help

    At first I thought it was an overpressured load running RL33 97.3gr pushing a 300gr SMK, however no cratering or flattening of the primers and no ejector swipe was visible. Regardless I tried a lighter load of 83gr of h1000 and still had the same result.

    Original load was with RL33 this was changing powders and getting speeds in the mid 2,500s which is about exact as per the book.

    I’m stumped..help

    Two different lots of prime ammo and one lot of Lapua brass both being soft seems less than likely, scale reads correct according to test weights, forgot to mention this happens with both h1000 and RL33

    I’m stumped..help

    After bumping the shoulder the bolt closes nicely. After firing it gets hard to lift again. If it wasn’t bumped back far enough wouldn’t it still be hard to close the bolt?

    Yes brand new Lapua brass now once fired and I would assume the prime factory ammo is brand new.

    I’m stumped..help

    I’ve been wrestling with a demon on this 338 for a while and I’m running out of ideas. Surgeon XL action with a Krieger barrel chamber is a Sami spec. The issue is the bolt is very heavy and does not want to cam over without using a bit of force, this is not the issue with factory prime...

    Looking for an action with these features

    If you scratch the AW mag requirement you have an ARC nucleus. I believe the GA Tempest action takes aw mags but is not crf.

    Gunsmithing Barrel question

    Trigger: Bix n Andy. Trigger tech is a good option, so is the Tubb. Huber makes a great trigger but my honest opinion bix n andy makes the best one and the Tubb is a close second. Barrel: it’s a 338LM, do you really want to cut weight that bad? The Krieger will probably be a more accurate...

    Gunsmithing New 6.5 CM Build Advise

    Most recent everyday sniper podcast touched on this subject. Personally I’d run the SAMI reamer, with the shorter free bore on the other reamer, as I understand it, will help with those bullets like the hybrid that still need to be somewhat close to the lands but not seated so long they don’t...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote

    If it’s applied properly and cured fully it’s gonna take a hot minute to wear it down. My first rifle, that was cerakoted six years ago, and has had three barrel changes (over 8k rounds) and who knows how many dry fires has some signs of wear on the bolt where it touches the action during...

    Gain twist in-depth and reloading

    Im not frank but your not going to notice a difference between 6.5 creed and 260 rem

    Gain twist in-depth and reloading

    And reloading is obviously popular, a head to head of brass companies would be cool to hear more about. Prime being Norma (atleast in the 6.5) brass is pretty awesome and obviously Lapua brass is great. This last episode you mentioned Peterson brass as well. I know a few of us here in AK are...

    Gain twist in-depth and reloading

    I’d sure like to hear more about gain twist barrels, most specifically pairing them as far as twist pattern to length of barrel and then as to what bullet weights that is going to like. I’ve heard a few people up here in AK mulling the idea around of doing gain twist but general concessis is: “I...

    Suppressors Picking a .30 cal can, too many choices

    Rugged Micro 30, it’s modular you get a mini can and full length. Full length is the same as the razor. It meets all your criteria and then some and you won’t be disappointed.

    Suppressors TBAC Takedown 22, AAC Element 2, Dead Air Mask 22......?

    Bought a takedown when they came out, love it. Being a dealer I’ve played with a lot of them and while the mask is good, it’s not as good as the tbac. Only can that I’ve found that compares to tbac is the rugged oculus I can’t tell the difference between the two sound wise but the oculus is...

    Gunsmithing Reamer specs- share them?

    Maybe Lowlight can make this a pinned post but what specs is everyone running for caliber to bullet happiness? Eventually I’m gonna need to order a reamer for a 6 creed just gotta decide if I’ll run hybrids or dtac. I see a lot of folks asking about other caliber to bullet chamber specs though...
