    siera 69gr 223 load

    Re: siera 69gr 223 load My 20" RRA 8 twist does not like AA2520 at all with either the 69 or 77smk. BL-C2 and varget have gave me the best groups at 100yds with the 77. I tried the load stated on pg 1 about varget and the 69SMK. I loaded 5 each of 25.0 to 25.5 in .01 increments, ramdom...

    Re: 500 S&W Magnum and Lil Gun powder? I've read quite a bit about Lil'gun and the throat problems. best I can tell it is with the 44 and up bores and way up in the hundreds of rounds. I use it in all my 357mag loads, probably shoot 3-400 of them a year. I see no problems so far. I also load...

    Re: 6.5x47L load developement Didn't intend to be short, sorry. Posted in a hurry. I gave up on the 123's after a full box. First load with 139's was very good so I stuck with them. I appreciate any advice.

    6.5x47L load developement

    Re: 6.5x47L load developement As stated above, veloicity is not a concern. I bought the rifle used, I did not have it built. If I was going to have another 6.5 built it would be another Creedmoor. I did run all the brass through a Redding neck sizer with the expander ball that measures...

    6.5x47L load developement

    Re: 6.5x47L load developement Thanks for the replys. First let me say, I am not one that usually loads anything to the max. I was working up in .3gr increments with new brass. At 43.1 was the first sign of stiff bolt lift. The second range trip working up in .1gr increments with once fired...

    Re: .308 First gun joys and woes...Opinion needed Buy an SPS, have the trigger adjusted by a professional. Drop the SPS in your stock and shoot the crap out of it till the GAP is ready. Send your stock to GAP for bedding when the metal work is complete on your new barreled action(they will...

    Need 'smith for FN action

    Re: Need 'smith for FN action I sent mine to GAP for a complete rework. Had a barrel in stock to put on so no wait there. Had all the metal work done in <45 days. Had to wait another 6 months for the Manners stock. They would not mark it as a GAP build unless they bedded it. Also I would...

    22" 7mm Mag Barrel

    Re: 22" 7mm Mag Barrel I've got a friend with a couple 7RM's, he says the 24 is about 300fps slower than his 26" with the same ammo. If I were building a 7mm LW and wanted a long action, I'd look at a 280 rem. YMMV
