New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
Seems like all the cool new “tactical” scopes are FFP. I like tactical scopes but I’ve yet to buy a FFP due to my assumptions that they wouldn’t be very good for coyote hunting. So the problem is that in my area a coyote can come from almost anywhere. So if you’re smart you always sit with...
Aggravating isn’t it? Shots 2-5 show you what this barrel can do. Makes you really want to try hard to figure it out. In my experience, this is fools gold. I’ve spent many hours at the range and reloading bench and many dollars in brass, bullets and powder only to figure out nothing...
This would imply that factory ammo (which everyone points to as the standard anytime you’re having problems) would also cause this problem. As it is already at the spec to which I am bumping back to.
I guess the next step is to burn a bunch of factory ammo through it and measure the COAL...
While bedding the barrel properly could influence your shot string point of impacts, it shouldnt have anything to do with the blown primers. Somehow you are creating a very high chamber pressure. Have you cleaned the shit out of it? Perhaps a carbon ring is involved. Have you measured the...
I'm currently waiting on a Odin adjustable weight buffer and plan to run it heavy. I already have an adjustable gas block adjusted correctly. Also the proof barrel has a really long gas system (rifle +3). That decreases the pressure and should slow bolt opening.
Another piece of info... I’m shooting Lapua brass with small rifle primers and using CCI 450s. Could this be poor powder ignition and thus extreme fouling?
So the lube could be part of the problem. I'm using Wilson combat oil. Supposedly "made from the slickest stuff known to man" I looked at the bottle and was surprised to see it's only rated down to 10 degrees F. I have since cleaned all that out and put some Birchwood Casey synthetic oil...
I thought this was the problem and actually sent it to Proof to measure. They said it was “tits” and would not advise opening it up more. They said they had guys building AR10s in 6CM for competition and they thought my chamber dimensions were ideal. I feel like they put a bolt chamber on...
I’m using Varget. In my limited experience it’s cleaner than h4350. This seems to happen after very few shots. I’ve never noticed this in my 260 Rem burning H4350, also an AR10. I should note that I shoot all my rifles 100% suppressed.
This could go in the semi auto forum, but it applies here as well. I built a DPMS style AR10 and put a proof research carbon fiber barrel in 6mm creedmoor on it. When I got the barrel new I measured the COAL to the lands with several different bullets. They all measured longer than I...
I still have my JP 260 as my other barrel misadventures have left me wanting. Shot a coyote with it today in fact. Dracos uses Black Hole Weaponry barrels. I have used factory ammo. Shoots great, except shot #1.
I assume you have Teludyne (sp?) straitjacket? What's the price difference between them and Dracos? And do they use a barrel you send them or do they make their own?
Update on my cluster. They lost their own paper work certifying that my sandstorm was destroyed. So now we are waiting for approval to use some other form instead. This is in no way required by the ATF, just by Smith and Wesson to allow me a new can at 50% off. So they know they...
Absolutely fuck them. I had a sandstorm that gained 7 ounces in less than 4000 rounds. Sent it to them. They had it for 4 months and did jack shit with it. Sent it back to me and said good luck. So I put it in my tumbler then beat 7 ounces of shit out of it in the sink under the faucet...
