    Chopping a die down?

    Redding Competition Shell holders are reducing your bump. Most times when a sizer die is touching shell holder you are bumping shoulder close to 0.006". Competition shell holders allow you to touch shell holder with die but reduce how much you push shoulder back. I guarantee you that...

    Suppressed ejection pattern

    I’d suggest an H3 buffer. A 6.5 oz buffer probably wouldn’t hurt you any. https://heavybuffers.com/ar15carbine.html Might even need to use an 8.5 oz buffer if port is “large” and running suppressed. I’ve found that an 8.5 oz works great for my suppressed 6.5 Grendel. BCG is coming back too...

    LaRue Costa

    Do you want to sell the LaRue Costa for “premium” price and replace with different brand / model? Personally I’d use the LaRue Costa.

    SP10 won't reset trigger during cycling

    Ahhhh….got it. I’ll find the Timney 2 stage I have and get some pictures of what probably needs adjustment. Much easier to do with pictures. Do you hold trigger back through the BCG cycling?

    SP10 won't reset trigger during cycling

    Almost sounds like a primer in trigger, causing a malfunction. Any cases missing a primer?

    Firearms OFF THE MARKET - NIB Remington 700 223 1-8

    I’ve seen 9 twist bbl on factory Rem 700 (SPS Tactical, LTR, 5R, PSS) but not an 8 twist. SPS Varmint model has historically come with a 12 twist bbl. Do you have factory box with 8 twist noted or scroll mark on bbl? If Remington started doing 8 twist bbl for 223, that would be awesome news.

    Bullet Lot variability question

    Last post was nearly two years ago. I’ve seen as much as 0.035” difference in ogive length, bearing surface length between two different lot #s of the same brand of bullet. Really should check each lot # for OAL to touch lands and then make needed adjustment for same jump. One might need to do...

    I need to procure a lightweight hunting rifle for next year, what would you pick?

    https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/seekins-havak-ph2.7150362/#post-10613367 Don't know what color you could live with but there is a used PH2 in 300WM available in PX.

    Firearms M&P 1.0 with RMR cut and forward irons 600$ price drop

    I didn’t see a caliber, figured potential buyer would want to know. Was more a bump via question.

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    LWRC six8 upper/lower and Pmag six8 mags would be looking at for the 6mm ARC build. Grendel / SPC mags for "standard" receivers seem to be a bit less reliable than Pmags designed for the larger body diameter.

    Spec my guns: How would you build a dream AR-15

    LaRue MBT (2 stage trigger) is dang hard to beat for the $. Shot a LOT of rounds in many calibers, large and small frame, never have had a double. I’ve also got HS NM Geissele triggers that are set lighter than the LaRue MBT, have yet to get a double. Bang for buck, I’d run LT MBT 2 stage...

    Ramshot tac or?

    LT-32 H322 Benchmark VV N-133 AA2015 All above are smaller kernel, single base, extruded powders that will work well for 55-62 FMJ.

    Ramshot tac or?

    Looking for temp stable, meters well from Dillon powder measure and primarily for 55 FMJs I'd get some H322. 60 Vmax and H322 for 223/5.56 AR is a very nice combination also. H322 works well with lighter bullets in 6.5 Grendel, can use with 120-123 but velocity will be a bit lower. H322 works...

    Ramshot tac or?

    Benchmark is a really nice powder. 223 use, works well with 55-69 gr bullets in AR, bit too fast in burn rate for 77. 6.5 Grendel - works well with 85-100 gr bullets but a bit too fast for heavier bullets. 308 - I’d keep Benchmark to 168 or lighter bullets

    Check with FedEx Freight, LTL is probably your best bet.
