    6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks guys. Using IMR 40.8g, Fed primers, Hornady brass and getting 2711 FPS out of my Bergara LRP with Dead Air 30 on the tip. Like you said, every lot of powder has its own deal. I have not seen an issue with temp issues and living in AZ. But we are now doing a lot more chrono so maybe...

    New .223 rifle

    I bought a T3x SUPER VARMINT last year and this gun shoot s great. I like heavy bullets and this gun delivers. And it needs no upgrades even though I did a few. Tikka gets my vote. PB

    New Tikka Tx3 223 Varmint

    I have a T3x SUPER VARMINT and it shoots lights out. I single feed 88 grain ELD's and it shoots and tracks damn near my 6.5CM. I was running a Rem 700 5R for years but wanted a longer barrel and 1/8 twist. I like shooting heavies and this gun delivers. It sucks you are not getting the...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Anyone running IMR 4350 for 6.5CM? And what is your load data if so? I know most people like H4350 but I have some IMR available as well. PB

    LMT .308 MWS

    Accuracy should be just as good. From a friend that knows: "As I understand it, CIP mandates that every barrel is proof tested at 125% pressure. CIP is 5.4mm shorter in the throat, so it may jam into lands if you try to do something retarded like single feed 147gr tipped ammo that’s loaded...

    Expected velocities from 22” barrel 6.5 CM 129 grain?

    6.5CM 140 pills is the new 270 win 130's. Both they are very versatile. The lighter bullets are super soft shooters in 6.5. And I tend to believe inherently accurate with most loads. Not hard to find good shooters with either factory or handholds. PB

    Bolt gun velocities vs gas gun velocities?

    I tested two guns today with and without a suppressor. One an LMT 10.5 and the other a Bergara 6.5CM. Both increased velocity 10/11 fps with the can on. Or decreased velocity with can off. I think this is the general consensus but every barrel and suppressor can be different. I also tested...

    LR 308 ugly bitch whore Frankengun

    Learning to drive a large frame gasser is definitely different than bolt guns. But they are cool as fuck and once your load and gear get figured out, nothing like loading a 20 round mag and going to work. Gas block banging on the hand guard was a good catch, that could have made you crazy for a...

    Bolt gun velocities vs gas gun velocities?

    It would be my guess you would drop 50 fps going from Bolt to gas and dropping 2 inches. But that its purely a guess. My 24' Bergara Bolt guns gets 2700-2725 fps 140 ELD's ( right on with posted data) in my bolt gun. Typically a little drop with my 20 inch MWS. I just got my Garmin so my...

    Aimpoint pro, Trijicon MRO? Eotech?

    I am an Aimpoint guy and that being said, how about the kinda new Aimpoint Duty. Its $499 and is basically a T or H version that "may" not be quite as good. That would be my choice if I could stretch the budget a bit. Otherwise a Pro is great too. I have only shot an MRO and Eotech with...

    16” 308 Match Ammo Gas Gun Velocities

    My MWS tends to like 168's more than 175's but I should do more testing. It really love Hornady TAP but only bought 200 rounds and that is about gone. I'm going to start doing velocity testing with/ without a can. A good MWS CL barrel can really shoot excellent groups if you get a good one...

    Anyone shooting a LMT MWS in 6.5 Creedmoor

    All the factory Hornady 130-140-147 ELD have shot MOA out of my gun. I feel like a bunch of ammo will shoot MOA, but Jesus the price is gross. Good luck getting your reloading up to speed. PB

    LMT .308 MWS

    I like the 4-16 ATACR scopes for my MWS guns, although I do have one running an ACOG like yours. But my first choice is the 4-16 NF scopes. And offset BUIS but I am looking into a RDS offset. Good luck finishing up your Quadzilla ! PB

    Long COAL .223 Gas Gun

    I can dig what you are saying because I like my Tikka TX3 varmint bolt gun bc I can run 88 ELD's with it. I have to single feed them but that is a breeze with a Mountain Tactical mag. Mag length has always limited us on .223 and 308 for that matter. PB

    LMT .308 MWS

    Atlas is my goto. I just sold my 3 KAC bipods because I like Atlas best and they brought a small fortune. I just saw the TBAC for the first time, it looks good but for those in the know, what is better about it vs Atlas. Just grabbed one of the Atlas CA versions, still checking it out. PB

    LMT .308 MWS

    I bought two Nomad 30's and I am very impressed and I have owned a lot of cans. Its not too big or heavy and its hush hush enough. PB

    Firearms SOLD: FN SPR A1 .308

    Hell, I forgot my SPR was a 1/12 twist. They way it shoots 175 grain bullets it never makes me wonder. What are the heaviest bullets these guns sling MOA? Mine still shoots lights out and we shoot almost every weekend. 168 and 175 handholds mostly. I think I have some Berger 185's I might...

    Need some advice for a 223 bolt gun build

    I bit the bullet and bought a 1/8 Tikka T3X Super Varmint. If you not going full custom, this is the next best thing. It shoots single feed 88ELD's lights out. The damn gun performs like my 6.5cm, its crazy. It has shot a variety of rounds very well and velocity has been better than my 20...

    Tikka T3X tac a1

    My 223 Tikka has been amazing and we have been able to load 88 grain ELD's and get them stabilized, which I couldn't out of my 5R 1/9 20 inch barrel. So I ended up increasing performance and it has shot so many loads very well, oh what a gun. We get 2,979 FPS and was able to hit the mile at...
