    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt coyotes with FFP?

    I think holding over is lame. I want to dial for long distance every time. Almost all new tactical scopes with exposed turrets are FFP. Thus the original post.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt coyotes with FFP?

    Most my shots are 150-200 yards. I'm not gonna holdover anything. I just worry about having nothing but the thicker outer lines to use to try to center a shot on a dark target at low power. Seems like I'm not the only one thinking this way.

    No idea what you're talking about. Sounds pretty cool unless you are just filling me full of shit.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone hunt coyotes with FFP?

    Seems like all the cool new “tactical” scopes are FFP. I like tactical scopes but I’ve yet to buy a FFP due to my assumptions that they wouldn’t be very good for coyote hunting. So the problem is that in my area a coyote can come from almost anywhere. So if you’re smart you always sit with...

    1st round flyer, what is going on?

    Aggravating isn’t it? Shots 2-5 show you what this barrel can do. Makes you really want to try hard to figure it out. In my experience, this is fools gold. I’ve spent many hours at the range and reloading bench and many dollars in brass, bullets and powder only to figure out nothing...

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    This would imply that factory ammo (which everyone points to as the standard anytime you’re having problems) would also cause this problem. As it is already at the spec to which I am bumping back to. I guess the next step is to burn a bunch of factory ammo through it and measure the COAL...

    1st round flyer, what is going on?

    While bedding the barrel properly could influence your shot string point of impacts, it shouldnt have anything to do with the blown primers. Somehow you are creating a very high chamber pressure. Have you cleaned the shit out of it? Perhaps a carbon ring is involved. Have you measured the...

    Man that is double fucked up. These 6CM AR10s are fools gold. Bolt actions anyone?

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    Just cleaned it with the rifle. Havnt shot it since. But boy was that thing dirty. Soaked in CLR overnight and still could barely get the baffles out.

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    I'm currently waiting on a Odin adjustable weight buffer and plan to run it heavy. I already have an adjustable gas block adjusted correctly. Also the proof barrel has a really long gas system (rifle +3). That decreases the pressure and should slow bolt opening.

    Another piece of info... I’m shooting Lapua brass with small rifle primers and using CCI 450s. Could this be poor powder ignition and thus extreme fouling?

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    Yep same problem with factory loads. And I refuse to shoot unsuppressed. Just plain uncivilized.

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    Interesting idea. I'm already using a Small base die that bumps it back to New brass measurements.

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    So the lube could be part of the problem. I'm using Wilson combat oil. Supposedly "made from the slickest stuff known to man" I looked at the bottle and was surprised to see it's only rated down to 10 degrees F. I have since cleaned all that out and put some Birchwood Casey synthetic oil...

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    I thought this was the problem and actually sent it to Proof to measure. They said it was “tits” and would not advise opening it up more. They said they had guys building AR10s in 6CM for competition and they thought my chamber dimensions were ideal. I feel like they put a bolt chamber on...

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    I’m using Varget. In my limited experience it’s cleaner than h4350. This seems to happen after very few shots. I’ve never noticed this in my 260 Rem burning H4350, also an AR10. I should note that I shoot all my rifles 100% suppressed.

    Dirty vs Clean barrel COAL

    This could go in the semi auto forum, but it applies here as well. I built a DPMS style AR10 and put a proof research carbon fiber barrel in 6mm creedmoor on it. When I got the barrel new I measured the COAL to the lands with several different bullets. They all measured longer than I...

    1st round flyer, what is going on?

    I still have my JP 260 as my other barrel misadventures have left me wanting. Shot a coyote with it today in fact. Dracos uses Black Hole Weaponry barrels. I have used factory ammo. Shoots great, except shot #1.

    1st round flyer, what is going on?

    I assume you have Teludyne (sp?) straitjacket? What's the price difference between them and Dracos? And do they use a barrel you send them or do they make their own?
