    Low Recoil AR Load

    I have found that lightest recoiling AR loads have been with lighter bullets, and faster powders. A 40 Vmax with N133 will be extremely soft shooting. If you are concerned about reliability, you don't necessarily need to load a light charge, even heavier charges with the light bullet/fast powder...

    SR 25 Scope Recommendations

    It is the PN 05-418. A 34 mm, 0 MOA, hyper extended mount. It is on an LMT MWS as well, and could also use a less extended mount. This one allows use on a non-monolithic upper without bridging from the upper to the handguard.

    SR 25 Scope Recommendations

    The S&B 3-20 I have fits fine in a Geissele Super Precision mount. Solid and often available on sale. Reticle is highly personal. For a gas gun I prefer a capped windage turret, and the low profile DT27 elevation, but the DT+ turrets are fairly low profile. The TR2ID and GR2ID reticles are...

    Using PMII 3-20x50 on TRG 22 and SP10 with QDP-4602 – viable plan?

    I would do two separate scopes. If I had to swap, would rather use a bolt on mount instead of QD, it really doesn't take any more time, just have to have the tool (which is minimal).

    Temp Stability Test in 6mm Creedmoor with N160, N555, & H4350

    Thank you for some excellent data, this is what SH is all about. I wonder how much better the current N160 is than old N160, as it was apparently reformulated to be more temp stable.

    Is my custom 457 Barrel a dud?

    I wouldn't give up until you try some other brands IE Lapua/SK or RWS. You just can't predict what the barrel will like. You may just end up lot testing whatever Lapua you can get on your own. I was recently testing a wide variety of ammo in my T1x. Wolf Match, Eley Club, Target, Team, Target...

    .308 Winchester

    I love innovation as much as the next guy... Those are some HOT loads. Have you ever thought of pressure testing any of these? Have you checked for lug setback on your stock Rem 700 actions? These loads are approaching 300 Win Mag velocities with a case that holds 48 gr of powder, versus the...

    Thermal clip on flip to the side options.

    The SkeetIR does not support very much mag at all and isnt a very good clip on. RH25 or Voodoo S are your options. Voodoo S is superior but drastically more expensive. The Wilcox mount works well. I am not sure how its zero retention is for non-collinlmated thermals though. My stuff is all...

    6.5 PRC Loads

    I would give the barrel a little while Mine sped up over the first 50 rds. I think you will settle on either N565 or H1000. They are ideal for this cartridge and 140 gr class bullets. I have found them to be equivalent in terms of charge weight, accuracy, and SD. The N565 is a bit bulkier in...

    22 creedmoor

    While some may disagree, if you were seeing velocities in the 3450+ range with H4350, I do think it may have just been too hot. Pushing an overbore cartridge like this is going to be tough to keep "in tune" if you are pushing pressure limits, the consistency just won't be there day to day.

    .308 Winchester

    A reduced load for H4895 or IMR 4895 under a Hornady 125 SST is your huckleberry for this. Shoot for a starting velocity of 2500-2600 fps, and a minimum impact velocity of 1900 fps at your maximum range. They shoot soft and despite the reduced loads are often very accurate.

    8208xbr thoughts

    It is an good powder, but has some quirks. It meters better than Varget, but worse than ball powders. Generally best accuracy is obtained near peak pressures, but as noted above it tends to be "peaky," so I would not recommend aggressively going past max loads without slowly working your way up...

    The Easy Button for overgassed AR-10s: Bootleg BCG Review

    Ahh the return of the $530 rifle that needs a $300+ adjustable BCG and $150 buffer to try and get it to run properly. How has the accuracy been? I would be curious how much percentage-wise that BCG is able to restrict gas compared to other methods though. Also I don't know how changing a BCG...

    Strongest bore cleaner available

    Without getting into the endless debates about cleaning frequency or methods, the strongest non-abrasive cleaner I know of for copper more so than carbon is Barnes CR-10. Really smelly stuff but extremely effective for copper removal. Of course abrasives are more powerful than everything else.

    Knights Armament SR25 6.5 Creedmoor

    So not sure if you would consider this an option (mainly because so many of the SR-25's are unobtanium) - you could always put a MWS upper on a SR-25 lower. The fit/finish between upper/lower is very good, and complete SR-25 lowers are available from time to time. Chop a 20" SS 6.5 CM barrel to...

    Wilson Combat barrels

    I had a Wilson Combat barrel, a 16" 300 BLK with carbine gas. It shot fine and was reliable with supers, but I replaced it with a pistol gas Noveske for improved subsonic reliability. I would say they are a decent rack grade barrel but unlikely to provide custom accuracy. I also have a...

    AR 10 Advice

    BTW it doesn't cost that much to get the barrel chopped. Adco can do it for something like $75 + shipping as long as you pull it yourself.

    AR 10 Advice

    You would be very well served to heed the advice above. Reliability is superior with a rifle gas system even with 16" barrels. As a bonus they tend to be smoother shooting and tolerate suppression better. A mid-length could maybe be tamed with an AGB and buffer tuning, but sometimes they are...

    243 AR cycling issues

    I would be concerned about the APF BCG. Good ejection and extraction is an interplay between being dwell time, appropriate gassing, and extractor geometry, and extractor spring tension. Get any of those wrong and it isn't going to work. Would recommend trying a different BCG if it is verified...

    New here. New build.

    Your goals and the multiple calibers you would like to use with a single build are really going to hamper you in refining the rifle for a specific task. It will end up being a jack of all trades and master of none. I especially say this since you mentioned a 338 Lapua barrel for it. Shooting a...
