    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    1. Be comfortable shooting around 15x magnification for a majority of the match so you can see your impacts, misses and quickly find your targets. Too much magnification can be a problem. 2. Trust yourself and equipment so that when you miss you can immediately make the necessary windage /...

    AI AXMC Magazine Compatibility

    I found this old thread while looking for an answer as to why the last round of 6.5CM in my AXMC magazine causes a malfunction: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/cannot-get-6-5-cm-to-feed-in-ai-axmc.6985810/ Does anyone know what AICS magazine they are discussing at the bottom of the...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Hey all, I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for custom made barrels for the post-2014 AI AXMC? I have a long action currently with a 6.5CM barrel, but was looking at the possibility of a 6.5 x 47 or 25 x 47 Lapua barrel if those are possible. Thanks.

    AI AXMC Long Action and Small Rifle Primers

    Great. Now if I could just figure out if it's possible to get a 6.5x47 or 25x47 Lapua barrel for the AXMC? I've got an email sent in to Mile High Shooting to see if there are any barrels.

    AI AXMC Long Action and Small Rifle Primers

    I really appreciate the help. If I understand correctly, this should be the complete bolt and firing pin assembly I am looking for: https://www.eurooptic.com/Accuracy-International-AXMC-SFP-Bolt-Assembly-Complete-Pale-Brown-28340PB.aspx

    AI AXMC Long Action and Small Rifle Primers

    I think I can only use a large firing pin in the long action bolt. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the small firing pin can be used in the AXMC long action bolt body.

    AI AXMC Long Action and Small Rifle Primers

    Does anyone have input on using an AI AXMC Long Action with brass using small rifle primers? A few years ago I used the 6.5CM Lapua brass with small rifle primers, and the spent primer would mushroom. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Is the AI AXMC long action not recommended to be used...

    6.5 CM Help Out a New Guy (sort of)

    Hey all, I've gotten back into precision shooting after about 5 years. I have load data for my 6.5 CM using 140gr Berger Hybrid Targets on a 24" barrel, 41.7gr of H-4350 powder, Federal GM210M primers, and 2.220" CBTO. But all this was developed over 5 years ago, and I will need a new barrel...

    AXMC Accuracy Troubleshooting

    Today I adjusted the torque to as high as 65. My group was still approximately 1 MOA. But when I backed it off to about 55 my group decreased to just under .5 MOA. I marked the barrel clamp screw with a paint marker to ensure I tighten it to the same spot in the future. Thanks for everyone's...

    Also forgot to say another change between the years: I swapped out the standard handguard for the Victor Company AX HR1 handguard.

    AXMC Accuracy Troubleshooting

    Exact same loads, the rounds sat in a box from the last time I shot a few years ago. I cleaned the barrel, chamber and bolt once it came out of the safe.

    AXMC Accuracy Troubleshooting

    A few years ago, I used to tighten down the AXMC barrel clamp screw with the short end of an allen wrench until it was tight since I didn't have a torque wrench at the time. I was getting just over 1/3 MOA accuracy with 6.5 CM handloads. Fast forward a few years to now in which the rifle has...

    Dryfiring AI Competition Trigger

    Hey all, I've been getting some dryfire practice in for PRS. I have an AI AXMC with the AI competition trigger. What are everyone's thoughts on pressing the trigger for dryfire practice? I know precision/competition triggers can be delicate. Would I be better off not pressing the trigger for...

    Plantar Fasciitis

    Re: Plantar Fasciitis I had a case of this during the Army's SFAS course in which I developed massive blisters which in turn caused me to develop plantar fasciitis. I fixed it rather quickly by staying off my feet for a good 2 weeks after the course as well as wearing a good pair of insoles...
