    Whos bolt is this?

    Not positive, but think Lilja used Maxim bolts when buying a new barrel and getting a headspaced bolt.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Just finished last small details on 4 of 5 of these on V7 Sovereign receiver sets for a good friend. Still waiting for JP FMOS BCG’s and last barrel, but was able to run a box through and break in these four with a spare BC and properly headspaced bolt. Garage does more than double duty, and a...

    Tractor Supply kicked in the nuts over DEI

    I saw the same scenario noted above in better part of 40 years in a highly pressurized manufacturing environment, run by very similar MBA’s at the behest of the private equity ownership that switched hands every five years. New ownership would always bring in their fleet of consultants, who most...

    Daddy Dave-as you’re new here, know one thing. Few here have broader knowledge and experience in the optics field. In Koshkin, we trust.

    Plated bullets, not bad at all

    Have been using Precision Delta 124/147’s for both ESP/PCC with great consistency, accuracy and are very cost effective over about 7-8k rounds. A bit more expensive than Berrys, but reliability is worth it.

    Midway Factory Seconds

    Not worked with Sierra or Hornady seconds, but have sorted and shot a couple thousand Nosler 123CC’s . Primary issue was variation in ogival length by as much as .024. Once sorted, shot fine.

    22ARC buffer system advice

    Thanks. These are going to be built on V7 Sovereign FA receivers with a bunch of V7 kit. My thought is that it might be easier to tune the A5 with buffer weight and/or springs, though my experience is largely Grendel/223 related. Not sure if ARC. needs a T1/T2 buffer for proper function, as...

    22ARC buffer system advice

    Have a current project to put together 5 22ARC AR’s for a friend and his family. Not a 100% blank check, but am going quite light per request. Am normally a JP SCS user in an assortment of 223/6.5GR, and have no reason to believe they wouldn’t work in 22ARC, but have no experience with the A5...

    155 ELD-Ms 308 Gas Gun Powders / Loads

    Have had excellent results with Varget, 8208 and AR Comp with most all varieties of 155’s in an 11.25” twist 20” Schneider barrel, 210m, in annealed Hornady or Lapua brass.

    .264" bullet suggestions for 6.5 CM?

    On the other end of the weight spectrum are 120 Scenar L and 123 Scenars. Solid performance with H4350 in a 20” CF Proof at 2825. Still have some older, same lot 140 Amax that are very accurate in another 20” Krieger build. Lots of very viable options out there.

    Handgun Loads - All Calibers

    If you need to drop your elevation with either full power or reduced loads, Bowen Custom and Dawson both make higher and/or narrower front blades for Redhawk.

    Handgun Loads - All Calibers

    You might look at 8-10gr of Unique or 9-11gr of HS6 with a 320gr hard cast bullet. Been a while since I’ve had a 5.5” RHK, and don’t remember twist rate, but wonder if it’s fast enough for properly stabilizing very heavy for caliber bullets at lower velocity. Would also suggest slugging both...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    LRRPF will surely drop in on to comment on bolt longevity, and my experience with 8 Grendel’s indicates only one failed extractor in many thousands of rounds over about 10 years of use, never once the bolt itself. I exercise proper loading practices, keep headspace and shoulder setback in order...

    6.5 Grendel

    Not absolutely positive about real OAL max-they say 2.36”-but there are modified PRI magazines that will accept longer than std mag length of 2.28 that you can run in ASC/C Products mags. You still need to address distance to lands, regardless, especially with some chambers and tangent ogive...

    6.5 Grendel

    2.32 OAL only applicable in a bolt gun with a chamber that will accept it, or as a single fed round in an AR, with same proviso regarding chamber. Sure, you can get more powder capacity, though you wouldn’t want to ignore distance to lands and resultant pressure, as well as how that pressure...
