    Gunsmithing Gunsmith for 6.5x47 Lapua

    Call Aaron Roberts at Roberts Precision Rifles - Aaron Roberts Houston Texas Riflesmith Gunsmith. He built a hammer of a .30-06 out of a stiller/lilja combo, and he apprenticed under Spencer Rifles. He's a great gunsmith, and just super easy to work with.

    155 Palma loads in 20" 308 loads

    You can get them to 2880-2910 via 8208xbr and Winchester cases. 46.0 8208, Win case, Tula 7.62 got me to 2890 out of a 20" Rock barrel. I am currently sending 155's at 2910 out of a 22" Benchmark barrel with 45.5 grains of 8208. In my opinion, that bullet and powder combo were made for each...

    Suppressors Any experience with O.S.S. Suppressors?

    I played with one at Rifles Only at the Bushnell Brawl, and talked in depth with Johnny P. about the design and mission of the can. Long story short, it's definitely innovative and well designed. No gas blowback at all, which surprised the hell out of me, and the design of the can radiates heat...

    Prometheus Powder thrower (Thoughts/Experience?/Where to buy?)

    The only comparison to a chargemaster and the Prometheus Gen 2 is that they both trickle powder without the reloader having to do anything. The Prometheus is significantly more accurate, with no overthrows, and is much quicker than using a chargemaster. It's expensive, is a bit of a pain to get...

    F T/R Competition Reamer/throat for .223 Rem bolt gun 80-90gn

    Let me start with this: I AM NOT A GUNSMITH, but my 223 was built up similar to what you are proposing. I wanted a .223 as a trainer for my PRS match gun in 260 and the goal was simple, to copy my competition gun exactly but chamber in 223 for ammo cost and barrel life. I dropped off a 6.5 twist...

    .223 precision build questions. Help me understand.

    Except that you do give up something to go AI...namely your time (fireforming, and then load development on formed brass) and your barrel life, and it is extra work. Continual brass prep is a non-issue as I run a Giraud trimmer. Neck sizing won't ever happen on a gun that I intend to use in...

    .223 precision build questions. Help me understand.

    Love my .22 centerfires. I have a 223ai, and a straight 223, and I much prefer my straight .223...mostly because I hate fireforming. If a short barrel is what you're after, then the 223ai makes sense...otherwise I'd stick with a standard 223. I am sending 82 bergers, pointed, at 2900 out of my...

    Gunsmithing Surgeon 591 & AX AICS

    All - Assuming I have a 591 and an AX AICS, am I correct in that the only inletting requirement is on the bolt handle recess? Thanks in advance.

    McRee vs Rock Solid

    I've played with both, and my preference is for Rock Solid, by far. The guy that makes the Rock Solid has been a very active competitor for a very long time, and took that experience into the design of the stock. It's great for positional, prone, and just slim enough to pack around with no issue...

    .260 w/ 123 smk

    All - I am in need of some load data with a 260/123 Sierra/Remington Brass/H4350 Combination. It doesn't look like many people shoot this combo out of a 260, so load data is scarce....any help would be appreciated. Thanks, JP

    thoughts on 223AI

    This is hilarious. I've killed plenty of deer and hogs with a 223ai. Most with the 75 SS2, but also plenty with a 75 amax. Bullet selection and shot placement trump all. The boys in Alaska smoke Blacktails a plenty via 223ai as well.

    Recent Prometheus GenII Buyers R U Happy

    I've had my Prometheus for approximately 7 months, and have about 2k loaded rounds with it. I went from running two "hacked" chargemasters to the Prometheus, and I can say the cost is worth it...to me. I abhor loading ammo. I'd much rather be spending time with my wife and kids, and/or shooting...
