    EP 175 ammo name?

    Per the Spark webpage their 6.5 140 eld-m does 2850 from a 26 inch barrel. IIRC Frank got that from a 22 inch barrel... or did I hear that wrong?

    EP 175 ammo name?

    I wrote a note down form EP 175 that Frank mentioned some 140 grain factory ammo that was doing 2850 out of a 22 inch rifle. Did I hear that right... and if so what brand was that? Cheers!

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Just started reloading for a 22 inch 6.5 using once fired Hornady brass. Here is what I was able to do today. Total of 5 rounds each and as you can see I need more practice... the five rounds are split 2 and then 3. The RL16 42.1 to 42.4 had the best groups. I also want to try 41.8 to 42.0...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I just picked up some Rl16 to try my hand at loading 6.5CM for a new rifle. is this something that is typical of powders in general or this powder specifically? BTW @ Lunchbox27 what is your barrel length?

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    Ok final update. I spoke to Roy at Defiance who was super helpful and explained that the any pressure on the bolt that does not go straight forward can cause the issue. He suggested that I dry fire and use my thumb on the rear of the bolt to get it going straight forward thus avoiding the issue...

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    It has nothing to do with a dirty action or tolerances. If you look at the rear of the action the initial entry point is shortened to allow for a larger ejection port... this is the area I am talking about.

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    Well the sandpaper tip worked well for the mag issue. The two other issues are the mag has to have a slight forward tilt to insert correctly. I think I need to adjust the chassis... still need to work this out. Additionally the rear part of the action is shorten for a larger ejection port so...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Does anyone know if the Hornady data is based on a 24" barrel which is my assumption. Thanks

    ARCA rail bipod placement

    Thanks! I am using a spigot mount on a KRG W3 chassis so I think I am ok... I only use the spigot in the prone .

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    A quick update - I borrowed an AI mag and the issue was not nearly as bad with the AICS mags. So I think this might be a mag issue but there could be some adjustment needed as well. I am likely going to visit the gunsmith to get this sorted.

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    Another update... There appears to be two or more issues. (high level) 1) With a fully loaded mag (in this test the magpul 10 rd) as soon as the bolt travels forward the is a springy tension at the very end which requires some force to push forward before I can move the bolt handle into the...

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    A quick update - so with the MDT if I chamber a round and the drop the mad there is a click and the the bolt closes with ease so it is how the mag is seating IMHO. As for the mag itself the feed lips are to tight when combined with the spring tension with 12 rds. As for the Magpul same things...

    Thanks guys - I will be looking into all these to smooth things out. Once O get this fixed I will check back in.

    Gunsmithing Odd problem with a new rifle...

    When using either an MDT or Magpul AICS mag (only mags I have) I notice that I have issue closing the bolt. This is more prevalent when the mags are fully loaded. The rounds chamber and the bolt is fully forward but hangs up (very stiff) so I have to use extra force to close the bolt... this...
