    Accurizing AR10/M110/LR308 Thread?

    Re: Accurizing AR10/M110/LR308 Thread? Lone Wolf, I followed your AR-10 build and am planning to use your build as a basis upgrading my Infantry Model AR-10. Looking back, would you do anything differently? Also, Hellbenders accurizing was for an AR-15. Will his tweaks apply to the AR-10...

    Ok, so now what? *UPDATE...FAIL *

    Re: Ok, so now what? Yep, stock pack. Try to pull the charging handle back with a stock pack installed. And, even if I modified the stock pack, it still would not be high enough for me. Magpul. CT

    Is it worth reloading 5.56 for plinking?

    Re: Is it worth reloading 5.56 for plinking? I just started using a Redding T-7 with the .223 dies. I batch tumble, batch resize, batch trim, batch etc., etc., etc. Hotel ice buckets work great! I also have a 550 and honestly don't see any time savings between throwing something together...

    Ok, so now what? *UPDATE...FAIL *

    Re: Ok, so now what? I have a Plain Jane AR-10 (Infantry Model?) that I purchased 8 years ago. I had a NM trigger but swapped it out for a Geissele and shot it today with 147 gr reloads to check the Geissele and scope tracking. All shots were within MOA. 168 SMK shoot even better. I The...

    Bolt Face Pitting

    Re: Bolt Face Pitting Sorry guys, It's an AR-15. The ammo shot through it is late 70s PMC, M193, a handfull of Hornady and my reloads. I'll see if I can get a pic uploaded which should be worth a thousand words. Thanks, CT

    Bolt Face Pitting

    In addition to the erosion ring around the firing pin hole I've noticed pitting and/or gouges on the bolt face. I built this rifle four years ago and am now getting around to working up some loads for it. The BCG is DPMS and I've fired less than 300 milsurp/reloads through it. Is this normal...

    Shoulder bumping for AR rounds

    Is there any advantage to bumping the shoulder back .003-.005 for an AR platform? Should I try to set up the FL sizer for a "bump" or just follow the RCBS instructions? I tried to bump back the shoulder but could not get the die down to bump before it bottomed out on the shellholder. Has the...

    55gr FMJBT Accurate?

    I'm trying to work up a load for WIN 55gr FMJBT bullets. The most accurate load so far is 25.7 gr H335 in prepped Rem brass. Shooting through a scoped DPMS 1/9 barrel, the best group is 2" which is way better than what I get with M193 or PMC. Is this the best I can expect from this bullet...

    700 FP Removal THX Lowlight!

    I'm entering into the advanced stages of reloading and needed to check my cases by chambering and closing the bolt with the FP removed. Thanks Lowlight for the video. Since I had my tactical flipflops on, I modified your procedure by wrapping cord around my wrist, pulling back, and turning...

    Which calipers you like?

    Re: Which calipers you like? I asked this question several months ago. Based on the advice of Victor and others I "ebayed" a Starrett 6". I am very happy with the Starrett and appreciate the advice I received. To each his own, but if you want to do quality work you must have quality...

    Gunsmithing Bench top drill press

    Re: Bench top drill press I probably have a similiar model Sears bench top drill press that Victor has. I've had it for over 8-9 years. I have a cheapy milling vice on it and I am pleased with it. Check the quill travel distance to ensure that it has the capacity for the jobs you have...

    55 GR and 25.7 H335, your thoughts?

    Re: 55 GR and 25.7 H335, your thoughts? The primers used were CCI 450. I shot round robin the following, 25 25.2 25.5 25.7 26 I was surprised that 25.7 was the only load that was acceptable with so many shooting 25,25.3 and 25.3. CT

    55 GR and 25.7 H335, your thoughts?

    Finally got out to the range today to check my load development for 55 GR .223 Best accuracy at 100 yards was with 25.7 gr of H335. According to the "books" this is a hot load but there were no flattened primers or swipes. Morgery, 16" Win brass Win 55gr FMJ What do you guys think?
