    Help me choose my ELR rifle

    I just recently went through the same mental gymnastics your going through. I settled on the 300 Norma Mag Improved in the Surgeon 1581 XL action which will give me the option of swapping the barrel out and going with the 33XC.

    .223 - 5.56

    With a 1:7 twist you might want to try some heavier bullets like the burger 85 or the 90 gr. smk. I shoot the 90 gr. smk at 2800 fps with good results. I tried several different powders but 25 grains of CFE223 gave me the speed I wanted without the pressure. It never hurts to try a longer jump...

    .223 - 5.56

    My last batch of Lapua .223 brass I got 26 reloads out of it before the primer pocket got too loose to hold a primer. I annealed every 4th firing. My loads were pretty hot at 2800 fps with a 90 gr smk.

    Coating options for Sugeon

    I just recently had my 1581 XL Cerakoted inside and out. It was definitely scratchy at first, but with a little oil and a couple hundred manipulations it smoothed out.

    300 Norma Mag

    I'm jumping the 230 gr. Atips .075 and getting similar results but my coal is 3.751. This barrel has a super long throat and I can barely get to the lands with a 230 gr. at 3.831. I've got some 250 gr. Atips coming.

    Joining in on the newb questions

    I'm new to ELR as well and I just went through what your going through and I ended up building a Norma 300 Improved chambered by Alex Wheeler because of his reputation and he has dies to fit. I went with the 300 Norma Improved because I knew that later on down the road I would want to go farther...

    Range After Supersonic?

    The 169 SMK shoots better at a 1000 than the 175 SMK

    Range After Supersonic?

    So do longer bullets transition better? How about heavier bullets? I've noticed that the solid copper bullets are long and very pointed. I was also wondering if a bullet is like a top? The faster the spin the more stable it is and as it slows down it begins to wobble. I take it if that is true...

    Range After Supersonic?

    I was curious about how much further you can accurately shoot after a bullet goes subsonic?

    Difference in shooting a Semi-Auto vs. Bolt Gun

    You definitely have to be on your toes to shoot an AR10, but when your on top of your game it sure is a hell of a lot of fun. Like anything else, it takes practice to be good at it.

    First ELR build help

    I'm in the process of doing just what your doing. Getting my feet wet in ELR. I've already started trying to find all the components for my build. I've decided to chamber in 300 Norma mag improved to get a little more case capacity and less trimming because of the 35 degree shoulder. Because of...

    .223 barreled action

    Just buy a Savage LRVP with a 7 twist barrel used or buy the parts fro Northland Shooters Supply. I bought one a few years ago and it is accurate as hell.

    What next after 6.5CM?

    My next step up from the 6.5 CM is going to be the 300 Norma Mag, that way if I decide I don't like it I can rebarrel it to .338 LM or 33XC.
