    Is bedding the AR barrel a myth? What's the best way?

    I’m late, didn’t read all of this. If the upper isn’t thermo fit I use shim stock sizes until I find an interference fit. Cut to size, add shim stock with 620 loctite and done. My ideas, not that it’s correct, shim stock makes a solid thermal fit, the 620 will fill any slight void. Done. I...

    Who Makes Thermal Fit Stripped Uppers?

    Good to hear! This is a hunting and range set up for his son. 20” WC 6.5 Grendel barrel. Know soon I’m sure, it’s all together now. I’d use another for a quality felt lightweight thermal upper though

    Who Makes Thermal Fit Stripped Uppers?

    Very much thermal and priced right. Ordered one for a friend based on your opinion and it took heat and ice. Appreciate it

    Same outcome. Run 100-200 yards and bed down with no pressure.

    Since this has been a hot topic with calibers and bullets. This morning, 300yds, hunter pulled his shot to far back, 308 150 gr corelokt. My dog found it several hundred yards away very much alive. Bigger guns don’t help bad shot placement.

    No I thought mentioning shot placement being most important explained importance of any caliber/bullet. All good And yes I shoot mono’s as well, I like light and fast with them. I hot rod these to about 3500 fps in a light weight custom 264 wm.

    I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have said it if there wasn’t. But I’ll help you, Point is no bullet type or rifle size makes up for bad shot placement. Pretty simple

    Well I have this of a hunters sons Buck shot front of the shoulder with a Mono metal expanding bullet, just a week ago. Three hours later my dog tracked & caught wounded deer so we could ethically dispatch it.

    You really look like you need a hunting partner. If you ever feel you will have a hard time filling those tags just hit me up! I promise to only bring my 223 too if it’ll help 😁

    Thank you, Been meaning to look and see what I actually use after reading your post. It’s a #64 or .036” bit to clean the tips and ever so slightly enlarge the opening of mine.

    Living in a state that allows 12 deer tags per season, yearly crop control on friends farms, and takes hogs regularly. I have a good idea of what works, I prefer, and my gear. But, I’m also glad you have a preference that works for yourself.

    Don’t get too high on your pedestal now. I’ve had two experiences of Barnes bullets failing to expand. 25-06 TSX (recovered curved like a banana) and 264 win mag ttsx tip broke off never expanded, curved like the tsx. With bullets/arrows hunting enough weird shit just happens at times.

    This! But I’m curious if the AEM5 or OCM5 will work with it though, enough room after the gas block.

    For you TMK purest. If my rifles shoot them accurately, I may make a switch

    So did they group test the rifle? Or fire test the rifle? Big difference

    While I’d like to agree with this and do to a point, shit does happen even to top class products at times. I had a BA barrel shot bad it was a rodeo getting them to work with me. When they did it was day or two for answers by email. Had a Proof carbon barrel give me a fit here recently and...
