    308 to 260 Conversion

    Hey guys I thought I would toss this up here. I have been working on a reliable and consistent procedure to convert LC military brass to .260 and finally have it down where I get no losses with great results. The key for me has been starting with fully prepped .308 brass. Resized, trimmed...

    Budget beater build

    I have been slowly gathering extra savage parts for awhile and now have everything together to build a total budget build. I want to try a real switch barrel set up that can be fast and accurate so I am going to try the JB weld on the headspaced nut with a modified wrench where I can pull the...

    XLR chassis and ATACR scope

    I used a American Defense Recon 20MOA. The one with no forward cant. Perfect height for that combo.

    Rifle Scopes Cheap scope

    Little known secret. The Primary Arms 4-16 for $158 is the best sub $200 scope out there. It has great glass, a standard mil-dot reticle and tracks perfectly. You can bump up the the FFP Mil-Mil for another $100. Marshall and crew at PA stand behind their stuff too. Great customer...

    Powder for .22-250

    I've been using power Pro 2000MR with the heavies and getting amazing speeds. 34.5g pushes the 80g Amax to 3220 FPS out of my 26" barrel. Good to 1000 yards. It also rocks with the 75 Amax and 77-78 HPBT. For the lighter 50-55g pills I have good results with RE15 and AR Comp.

    WTF... I mean WFT The Worlds Finest Trimmer.

    Tried the PH and they work but not nearly as well as the WFT. With the PH the whole tool spins and the shoulder of case rubs on the rubber insert. Makes for friction and heat leaving marks on the case (not much) but also wears out the rubber. It's not a big deal and they do work but the WFT...

    Rifle Scopes Help with 2 rifle one scope zero

    Math is not my strong suite. :cool: Can someone explain how I do this. I have two rifles and one scope. Rifle 1 is a .260 Remington bolt in an XLR Evolution Chassis which is my 1K rifle. Rifle 2 is a Mega MKM .308 for shorter to intermediate ranges. Scope is a Nightforce ATACR MOAR in a...

    Which AR15 to get?

    That is a strange statement coming from a guy named gunknowledge. :D So an AR is not a true AR since it does not have a dust cover or FA? Did you know Stoners origional design did not have either? Unless our crawling around the deserts of Afghanistan you hardly need a dust cover and I...

    Which AR15 to get?

    I just did what you are looking to do. Pick up some beater AR's to keep in the safe for a rainy day and shoot the crap out of for fun. I tend to baby my high end customs. I found an M&P sport locally for $654 and bought it. The Sport came with a magpul BUS and one Pmag. I also picked up a...

    Rifle Scopes Optic Nirvana - What to do?

    I have recently moved into optic heaven. Until recently my best scope has been a Vortex Viper PST 6-24. Last week I decided to upgrade and sold my PST and purchased a Bushnell XRS Elite to put on my XLR Evolution chassis/Savage .260. I purcased it from Scott and Liberty and it should be here...

    swage vs chamfer primer pocket

    I ream the pockets. I have used a borrowed Dillon swager and it takes more time and I was not going to pay the bucks for it. I chuck my $3 reamer into my drill press and use a glove to hold the case and ream it out. Change hands frequently because you get tired and will eventually get carpal...

    Lake City vs Lapua brass

    I buy all my LC brass as once fired military. Not sure is the XM193 a LC or FC headstamp? Anything with an FC headstamp is junk IMO. Loose primer pockets after just two or three loadings. The bulk LC brass I buy has heavy crimps so you know it's once fired. With proper prep it shoots...

    LMT MWS - New Cerakote job

    I have done alot of Burnt Bronze Cerakote. It's a killer color. I do like adding a touch of black to make it darker. BTW you don't bead blast for Cerakote you use Aluminum Oxide. Bead blasting pounds the surface with glass beads which effectively seals the surface and the coating does not...
