    Cleaning Rifle After Shooting?

    Clean your chamber regularly. Clean your barrel rarely. My 2 cents.

    APA Lil B*stard Gen I or II for New Barrel?

    I am getting a new 6.5 x 47 Lapua Bartlein barrel fitted soon. I am definitely getting the barrel threaded for a brake. I am torn between the APA LB Gen I or II. I do like the look of a Gen I 'smithed for a seamless appearance. But, is there any advantage to the Gen II aside from saving the...

    Christensen Arms MPR in 223 Remington with 1:7 twist barrel

    You don't need a brake on a .223. The recoil is minimal. I like a 26" barrel with no brake for maximum velocity. This is what I run in my semi-custom .223.

    POI change with temperature

    25.0 grains of Varget in Lapua cases with CCI 450 Magnum Small Rifle primers and 75 grain AMAX bullets. This is from a 26" barrel in bolt-action. It is a compressed load and on the hot side. It does chrono at around 3,000 fps and proven ballistically out to 600 yards. Of course, the usual...

    POI change with temperature

    Your muzzle velocity will NOT change significantly with temperature. Varget is very temperature stable. Might be a 10 fps difference in that range of temps. It is all about air density. Colder air is more dense and will decelerate the bullet more. Running your scenario in my ballistic...

    Ammo Advise for Rem .223 Long Range Varmint Match

    I have the same rifle in a B & C stock. It handles 75 grain bullets fine, but I handload. Go with 75 grain bullets to reduce wind drift somewhat. The difference is not big, however. Only about a 3 inch reduction in windage at 600 yards for a 75 over a 69 grain bullet running 100 fpm faster...

    How Does One Qualify to Sell Items on the Post Exchange

    INGO is not so swift. I am wanting to list 3 @ .308 die sets and 1 @ Little Crow Gunworks WFT Case Trimmer for .308. All in excellent condition.

    I am a member since 2013. I just recently sold some items on the Post Exchange, but am unable to post a new item now. Looks like I have "insufficient privileges". How do I get qualified? Thanks, George "IndianaRem5r"

    Building New Barrel Around 6.5 x 47 Lapua with 130 Berger VLD - What is Good for OAL?

    Thanks for all the great info, guys. I do know what the term "free bore" refers to, but I am obviously not the gunsmith that will be doing the chamber. I will look at the 0.123 dimension and verify.

    Building New Barrel Around 6.5 x 47 Lapua with 130 Berger VLD - What is Good for OAL?

    Building New Barrel Around 6.5 x 47 Lapua with 130 Berger VLD - What is Good for OAL?

    Yes, I have the components to load now. I have made one dummy at 2.800 OAL. The longer I seat the bullet, the more powder capacity, which is a factor in the 6.5 x 47 Lapua. I would like to avoid compressed loads.
