    Brass collapsing issue (6gt)

    Thank you for the replies. I did have it set up wrong. It’s a Hornady die with their micro adjust seater. I originally fed a case with bullet into the press and put the ram all the way up. I had the micro adjust backed out most of the way and screwed the die into the press until, what I thought...

    Brass collapsing issue (6gt)

    So recently got my GAP 6gt and was loading the first rounds today and had an issue I haven’t had before. The brass is collapsing at the neck under seating pressure. I never got the bullets close to seating and the brass just collapsed. I tried one, thought it was a fluke, had it happen again...

    Suppressors Talk me out of a K can

    Look at one of the new Sig SLX cans. Either QD or direct thread, they make several sizes and were developed for a military contract, with flash suppression (using a flash suppressor end cap) and their biggest feature, up to 75% less back pressure due to their 3D printed baffles. I currently...

    Not your dealers fault, its on SS at this point. We are also a dealer and do not have the software from SS or the instructions on how it will integrate with the ATF for the eForm system. SS has, however, sent our customers emails telling them to come in and certify even though they have not...

    Silencer Shop News Update: ATF eForms Launch Imminent!

    I work for a dealer and we’re still waiting for our software and explanation from SS as to how this works. We do a ton through them, but were not one of the early dealers to get the software. They said in the next few days. However they did send emails to our customers telling them to come in...

    Thanks for the responses. I have a few pounds each of H4350 and StaBall that I just picked up. The plan was to get the new gun broken in, then do a small test and decide which powder worked best for the GT and 6.5cm. Since both supplies of those were limited and I’d read some guys going...

    6gt

    Hey all, following up on my previous question, does anyone have any thoughts on using RL16 to break in the new gun? Based on my earlier post I picked up some StaBall, but I have limited supplies of StaBall and H4350, one of which I’ll use for the GT and the other for my 6.5cm. I hate to use up...

    I’m on the lookout for all those powders, but right now online there is nothing out there unless you get lucky. The local shop (still 40 min away) only has those I mentioned and IMR4895. They have other random stuff and pistol powder, but those are the only rifle ones that might work. I may...

    Superformance working well in 6.5? I didn’t mention above, I do have a few pounds of H4350, but use that for 6.5 so didn’t really want to use it. But I guess if Superformance works better in 6.5, I could buy that and change that load and use the H4350 for the GT. Thanks for the feedback.

    Just picked up my GAP PPR today. Ive been able to get some 108 ELDm, have Hornady brass and plenty of primers. But powder I’m hurting on. I only have a pound each of varget and RL16 and not sure when I’ll be able to find more. So in looking at other possibilities, a local shop has a couple...

    Let's solve this savage dbm problem

    Re: Let's solve this savage dbm problem Maybe I dont know how this works, but what is the problem with just manufacturing a new mag body that would use the Savage follower and have the stock Savage dimensions where it goes into the gun? In other words, just making a longer version of the...

    2 quick questions..

    Re: 2 quick questions.. I think one big difference is that the Spikes shooter uses the charging handle after picking up the weapon and they dont in the HK vid. This would allow the gas tube to drain out through the chamber, where if you dont do this, the gas tube would have to drain into the...

    DPMS LRT SASS vs ARMALITE SUPER SASS

    Re: DPMS LRT SASS vs ARMALITE SUPER SASS Personally, I like the AR10, I got a basic one so that I could eventually build my own SASS down the line and it shoots right about MOA with good ammo. I went Armalite because of what I said before, I read more issues with the DPMS models than I did...

    DPMS LRT SASS vs ARMALITE SUPER SASS

    Re: DPMS LRT SASS vs ARMALITE SUPER SASS I think the thing that is being missed here is that both companies make mechanical items and both will vary from piece to piece. Both will make mistakes and have bad units out there on the market. Take any random DPMS and any random AR10 and you...

    Scope not clearing BUIS on Mk12

    Re: Scope not clearing BUIS on Mk12 Not sure what size your optic is, but for my Millett scope I had to use the SPR 1.93 mount from Larue for it to clear a BUIS. Here is a link to it on his site. http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=67 BTW, I'm not using this optic...

    Suppressors blackhawk serpa

    Re: blackhawk serpa I have a serpa for a P226/P220 and have not used it extensively I will admit. Its not a bad holster and its release is pretty instinctive. However, I can see where some consider it unsafe. When you have pressure on the release by the trigger finger, without a lot of...
