    MagnetoSpeed Sporter Quality

    As it is January in the NY area, and the only reason I got to the range this past weekend was because of the amazing 70 degree weather we had, it might take some time before I can get out there again. Will do so as soon as possible and test again though. Thank you gents.

    MagnetoSpeed Sporter Quality

    Was trying to chrono my son's .223 this past weekend along with a different load I was trying on my .308. This is only the second time I tried my MagnetoSpeed Sporter. The first time was a few months ago, and once I got it tightly affixed to my .308, I got my readings. No issues, got some...

    Bulk match .308

    And since you went there .... Higher octane does not boost performance by itself. A fuel's octane rating provides a measurement of a fuel's ability to resist pre-detonation, or what is commonly referred to as "knock". Pre-detonation occurs when the fuel detonates before the spark plugs are...

    Bulk match .308

    $0.70 was an arbitrary example. I don't think I'm going to find great performing ammo at $0.70, but I think $1.00 is reasonable as there are a lot of match grade choices at that price point. The point is, I'm going to take the least expensive route to recurring costs (ammo) that I can while...

    Bulk match .308

    People who make assumptions irritate me. I don't want to shoot junk ammo out of it all. I'm also not a moron who wants to spend excessively for ammo if he doesn't have to. I'm looking for consistent 1/2 MOA accuracy out of the weapon system. I have all the equipment necessary to make that...

    Bulk match .308

    So many FGMM loads to try. I've tried two so far, and neither was worth writing home about but then again, some of that was likely me (first time out with the gun). Need to start keeping an ammo diary, so will try most/all of the FGMM loads at some point.

    Bulk match .308

    Thank you, had not heard of Prime before. Will give both loads a try. More than I want to spend, but if they work they work. Anyone else got anything?

    Best $100-ish bipod

    The decision to get the Atlas for myself. The Magpul is a really nice piece of kit.

    Best $100-ish bipod

    I have both as mentioned in my previous post. The Magpul is far lighter, and accordingly feels cheaper. But deploying it is as simple as smacking the legs with your hand. Extending the legs is also much faster on the Magpul. The tilt tension is far far better on the Magpul. The Atlas always...

    Bulk match .308

    I've tried the Georgia-Arms G308M (168gr BTHP match, they don't specify what bullet it is). I've got a single 0.34 MOA group with that ammo at 200 yards, but 10-round groups routinely measure around 0.8 MOA which is not what this rifle is capable of (S.A.C. built 20" .308). So I want to try...

    Best $100-ish bipod

    Magpul. My son's build was more of a budget build (under $2K so we went with the Magpul). Mine was not a budget build. I got an Atlas. I often regret that decision. Not all the time, but often.

    Need a bore guide for impact Precision 6.5c.

    I'm running a 737R chambered in .308 and this thing fits like a glove: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DM7NQNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    KRG Bravo / Howa / MDT .223 Issues

    No, this is supposed to be a Howa short action. I don't know the dimensions of the mini or the short to verify, but the description of this rifle said short-action. I don't have any Howa mags. The rifle this came out of had a hinged floor plate. Edit: Just found a chart. The Howa 1500...

    KRG Bravo / Howa / MDT .223 Issues

    Hopefully someone has an idea. If not, I just came up with one. This should be good too, I'm sure as people read this idea there's going to be a bunch of head-in-hands moments where people wonder how people who come up with ideas like this are allowed to procreate. My apologies to you in...

    KRG Bravo / Howa / MDT .223 Issues

    Hello fine gents, So the barreled action for my son's build came in tonight (the last piece of the puzzle). I wasted no time in putting her together and was dismayed to find out that the MDT 10-round .223 mags I purchased aren't remotely close to working. They are so far out (and identical...
