    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I’ve been running 44.1gr of Varget in LCLR cases with 210M primers with a COAL of 2.840 for 175SMK in my 24” 10 twist Bartlien factory AI barrel. They run about 2750FPS or so @ 325’ ASL and are about 10 MRAD to 1K. (Right) On the left is the 200gr 20X load I run in my 308 transgender AI...

    Knocked this piece of shit together out of scrap lumber, old dowels and rubber appliance feet. It’s better than a bag full of barrel sleeves that weighs close to 30 pounds, but just barely.

    Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

    Reamer has .183 free bore. Longer free bore means bullets can be seated longer, meaning more case capacity is available. Are there easier ways to launch 224 diameter heavies to 1K? Sure, with my 22 Creedmoor or my 224 Valkyrie bolt guns, but who wants easy? Easy is boring. From left to...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Loaded up some ammo for load development and zeroing tomorrow morning. New 223 bolt gun with .183 free bore. Left to right: 73gr Berger BT target for break in, 85.5 Berger Hybrid and 90gr Berger VLD. Modified a sled to point the long pointy rounds into the chamber without crashing into the...

    Go my stuff back from my 2112 this morning and assembled it. He even saved me the “Remove this portion ” end of the barrel. This is a 7 twist 223 build with the Canadian FTR team reamer: .183 free bore for 85.5 hybrids and 90VLD Bergers. Decided go go with a spare G3 instead of the PMII...

    How about a Briggs & Stratton 993CC OHV V-Twin? Since all the ranges on Quantico are closed this weekend (fire danger is the general consensus) I thought I’d service my 20KW stand by generator… only 22.4 hours of operation since March of last year.

    Ooooh, early slant bolt opening. Is it welded or pinned, Ken?

    Since 2004, it’s the only chassis I’ve used for bolt guns. Here’s my very first one, an AICS 1.5 purchased from Impact Guns, a company that probably doesn’t exsist anymore. I think it was less than $500 and came with one five round magazine. Later, Sniper Country PX sold them, and by 2006 or 07...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Fucking around with a cheap Bluetooth label maker- my favorite Sinclair load labels have been out of production for many years and I’m running out of them. Labels are 2x3 A picture of a Sinclair label A label printed from the picture… I gotta scale it up and take a straighter picture...

    How long has the Badger Ordnance 306-32 been out of production? I kinda’ remember when they were the new thing in 2015-16….

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    There was a picture of it in the original post, in the fog on Range 4. Marines using the 1K range yesterday so I had to settle for steel @ 700 zzzz.
