    300blk oddity

    LOL, that,s one of the experience benefits we earned by living to that age ;) ...on a serious note, many other powders can be used for the 300BLK. I've used LilGun the most (bcuz I have alot) but also H110, W296, 300MP, 4227, #9 & 5744. I would suggest you check out the...

    AR15 Cycling Issues

    ....it may fix the Wolf issue, but it may have introduced a new issue once you use other COTS ammo, i.e., over-gassing.

    AR15 Cycling Issues

    ...TBH, I'd shitcan the usage of that particular Wolf ammo. If I was stuck with a large cache of it, then I'd build/configure a platform that had enough adjustability to use it and normal ammo as required. But I would always be conscious of that "unreliability" factor and hesitant to use it...

    AR15 Cycling Issues

    ....don't take this personally, but throughout this thread the common symptoms of weakened ejection pattern appears when using Wolf steel cased ammo, even when using "standard" recoil system components. The use of RazorCore & "HOT" handloads gives you a 3-4 o'clock ejection pattern & reliable...

    LR 308 lpk with enhanced bolt catch

    ...I would suggest you get one from the manufacturer of your lower, regardless if they make it or OEM it. Most likely whatever they are selling they have tested with their lower to ensure compatibility and reliable functioning.

    AR15 Varmint Build 223 Rem VS 6mm ARC

    ....your locales hunting regulations will dictate the caliber you can utilize. That being said, the 6ARC interest is beginning to increase quite rapidly and I suspect ammo & components availability will follow as spring and summer roll around. Despite the smaller reports of less than stellar...

    Case length for gas guns

    ....it would be worthwhile (and inexpensive) to do a cerro cast of your CLEAN chambers to get the actual measurement of the max allowable case length of the particular chamber. Otherwise, keeping within the SAAMI spec will serve your purposes....

    Reloading kit in stock?

    ...you didn't say if you were considering a specific type of reloading press...single stage, turret or progressive. Do you also plan to load for other pistol or rifle calibers? Multiple calibers means you will have the to buy the caliber specific dies separately, I have yet to see company...

    What's the effect of using heavier brass?

    ...I suggest you do a volume capacity test on the heavier brass and compare it to your old brass. A change in case volume capacity could affect powder capacity and the resultant change in peak pressure attained.

    Practical SBRs

    ...."SBR" short barrel rifle; any of the rifle calibers mentioned will be effective IMHO, as I equate SBR usage to engagements 100 yds & in. The "short" I associate with "handiness" and ability to put it into use faster, aim intuitively, especially in limited/congested space environments...

    Carbon on case shoulder 6 BRA

    ...can't recall who/where, but....saw a post or vid where someone found differences in what code was generated during the testing of "clean" -vs- "dirty" cases.

    Chamber and Saami- shoulder bump problem?

    ...1.) Your virgin brass measures 1. Your "virgin brass" measures 1.3475" at the datum; that brass is 0.00025" SHORTER than the minimum SAAMI spec's allowance of -0.007" variation. That virgin brass should chamber in any SAAMI spec chamber. Once it is fired it will blow out the shoulder...

    Chamber and Saami- shoulder bump problem?

    ...as far as "case gauges" go, I prefer the Sheridan Slotted case gauges, can see in an instant if it's shoulder bump, case web sizing or trim length that is an issue on an empty casing. If one is sticking to absolute SAAMI spec, it can also determine if bullet seating for individual bullets is...

    AR15 Cycling Issues

    ...the easy answer is to revert back to the original configuration that DID work consistently. ...what exactly did you switch from, i.e., carbine recoil system to rifle recoil system or vice versa?

    Grendel-like Belted Magnum Problem

    ....I would think that Hiperfire engineered the spring rate to avoid inducing too much "drag" on the bolt carrier's motion that potentially could adversely affect overall reliability or decrease the triggers design objective of improved trigger pull weight and resultant increased rates of fire...

    Annealing - flame vs induction

    ....it appears it comes down to "cost" for you, and the value of your "time". Could be you will only be able to answer by testing both for yourself in your platform. IMHO, Cortina's comments didn't carry a tone of "conviction" in the results, only the speed of annealing on the AMP -vs- his...

    Gas gun head spacing

    .....it is more a safety factor. Some things to consider by the prospective buyer: - cost, the "matched bolt" option is comparable to purchasing one separately (bolt individually or complete BCG) - warranty, ensures any bolt related issues are covered for both bolt & barrel. - availability...

    Grendel-like Belted Magnum Problem

    ....after the reports of folks issues experienced with the ODIN +2 gas system tubes, wondering it more of these "belted" related reports are going to start showing up as more folks get out & shoot more entering into the spring & summer days... ....postings referring to the amount of chamber...
