    6.5 grendel accuracy issue

    Most of the “bastardized” chambers have even less freebore than SAAMI 6.5 Grendel. 120 ELD-M will probably shoot just fine and dandy when jumping 0.040” or so. H335 isn’t going to be a full case even if bullet is slightly deeper. I’d probably heavy up buffer a bit or turn down gas if AGB is...

    6.5 grendel accuracy issue

    120 Scenar Slightly slower burn rate powder than H335 5rds @ 100 6.5 oz buffer 18” LaRue upper w/TranQuilo attached Mk4 6.5-20, TMR, FFP in NF Unimount

    6.5 grendel accuracy issue

    H335 is probably a better fit with 95 or 100 gr bullets, slightly fast in burn rate for 120 gr. Berger used to make a 100 Match BT, great bullet for the 6.5 G but was discontinued 10 years or so back. 100 Nosler BT, 100 Amax/ELD-M, 100 Scenar are all pretty nice to work with but have become...

    6.5 grendel accuracy issue

    What powder(s) are available? 95 Vmax and VV N-133 is a great combo. H322 is close second. 120 ELD-M would do better with slower burn rate like IMR8208, VV N-530, AA2520

    6.5 grendel accuracy issue

    Gas system length? Buffer weight? Velocity? OAL to be at lands? Pretty sure 120 ELD-M at 0.040-0.060 is going to work really well. Zero reason to be at lands, 0.010 or 0.020” off lands, IMHO. I’ve never used H335 in 6.5G but have had positive results with 120 gr bullets and: H322 (lower...

    6.5 PRC probs

    Don’t over think this. 143 ELD-X doesn’t need to be 2.990 to shoot well. 153.5 Berger @ 2.940” OAL shoots really well from 6.5 PRC. You don’t need to be touching lands, 0.005” off lands or 0.020” off lands w/143 ELD-X for bullet to shoot straight. 2.955” OAL will work just fine. Just measured...

    6.5 PRC probs

    Press on. What bullet are you planning on using? Most AICS mags w/o front binder plate will allow 2.970” OAL to feed just fine from magazine. What magazine do you have that limits you to 2.955” max OAL?

    CLE MK12 Barrel

    Any additional info on invoice? I’d be inclined to go with business, twist rate and month bbl was chambered. Matches what I recall being on bbls I’ve gotten from CLE in past.

    Ar15 failure to lock back/feed

    Factory ammo? If factory ammo, some info on ammo would be helpful. Reloaded ammo? If reloaded ammo, what bullet and propellant? Verified that gas block is centered over port in barrel? How big is port? Ideally measured using gauge pin.

    Something odd in my bolt

    OP You are piercing primers. If you have 15 pieces that came out of BCG, high probability you’ll have etched / damaged tip of firing pin, will need to be replaced to prevent continued piercing of primers.

    Suppressors OSS vs Sig… which has less blowback?

    Lower back pressure cans make it much less troublesome to run can off / can on without having to mess with settings. Gas gun there is an appreciable advantage to using a lower back pressure can, especially if rifle will be used w/ & w/o can attached. Lower back pressure can also allows rifle to...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Walking

    Mirage band attaches above barrel to redirect heat away from optical path of scope. Definitely worth having, especially on hot and humid days that tends to exacerbate mirage effects. https://rifleshooter.com/2015/09/improvised-rifle-mirage-band/ I’ll dig out F-open rifle and put mirage band on...
