    Best 5.56 grain for 1:7 SPR

    I run 75g hornady BTHP match in starline brass in mine. I’ve tried 73eldms, 77smk’s, and Barnes heavies (forgot the grain) and the hornady’s give me the most consistent results with this barrel. Never tried burgers in my gas guns, just run them in bolt guns. I’d try everything and see what...

    20" White Oak Krieger "New Owners" Build & Test

    I’ve been running one of their house DMR barrels in 20” in the Gas Gun Show. It’s probably my 3rd WOA barrel, 1st one post sale. 75g hornady match bthp over 23.7 gr of Tac gets me 2840ish in starline brass and I have zero issues with the rifle shooting .7’s off a bipod and bag and making hits...

    Looking for recommendations for a long range scope

    Of those two I’d pick the Cronus. I’ve got both mk4hd’s and mk5hd’s as well as multiple Cronus scopes. They win for me in every category but zero stop. The mkhd series has the easiest zero stop on earth but the Cronus has better reticle options, turrets, illumination (I use it frequently in...

    Hi is there any local competitions in the Forth Worth, Tx area for a beginner?

    If you’re looking for rifle stuff, there is plenty within a couple of hours. The closest is probably Gravestone Precision south of I-20 in Lipan.

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    It’s a combo of trash ammo, barrels that barely qualify as barrels, 7# triggers, not 3, gun show optics, and probably a few other things I can’t think of off the top of my head. An AR can be had for less than a Glock, there is zero QC in that. My AR’s shoot, anyone who gets behind them can...

    Why do people load so hot?

    There is no way in hell I’d give someone advice to stay in the middle and work up til you puncture a primer lol. Hell, chamber to chamber is different. My .223 wylde chamber on my gas gun match rifle shows pressure at half way through what the book calls for on Tac and I get ridiculous...

    I'm stumped...bolt won't close

    Do you have a modified case that you can drop a bullet in and just see where the lands engage at? It’s nuts that it literally started from nowhere after shooting fine recently but I’d be interested to see where it touches the lands and what the CBTO measurement it compared to the factory...

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    A little more Tac love. I’ve been shooting a TON of 5.56 lately, put together a nice WOA 20” AR with a TT diamond and some other goodies because it’s just less abuse to my 6CM or 6 Dasher. I decided to just wing it with some Hornady 75g BTHP match, they cost me 21 bucks per 100 on mondays...

    6 Dasher Build

    I use norma brass in my dasher but same barrel, bullets, and powder. I ended up at 1.762 CBO and 31 grains of varget for a 9.x ES and a 4.4 SD. I run mine slower than a lot of guys at 2790 but I’ve had zero issues with velocity varying greatly in different locations/temps and my SD’s and ES’s...

    AR Tuning question

    To me that sounds like buffer weight. A lighter spring will do the same, but it’s going to slingshot the existing buffer into the back of the extension hard as cause a screwy recoil impulse. That’s just my experience with them.

    Discard cold bore shot?

    I always load 5 extra of my lowest charge during load development. I don’t bother recording speed or looking for groups on those first 5. They are my throw aways so the remainder will be more consistent with what that charge/seating depth/whatever will perform like.

    choosing a bullet for 6 creed

    My 6creed shoots the 107smk well, the Berger 105 excellent, had no real luck with the Barnes mat CB burner or eldms. I mean those two shot ok but nothing id post a group about. The 107’s are consistent in both SD’s and group sizes, the bergers are just a little better. I tried them over...

    Long range 22 LR

    I had a tikka t1x with a 20” LW barrel in a krg bravo with a bunch of weights. It shot absolutely lights out for me with eley ammo. The only thing I didn’t love was the bolt was somewhat rough, the magazines are tiny, and the ejector was weak. This only applied to rimfire PRS, fr any other type...

    Does anyone stand with Berger?

    I load Hornady, SMK, and Berger. My AR does a great job with Hornady, my Seekins and 6creedmoor shoot SMK bullets great, but my match rifle eats bergers because they really are just better. There is never a second guess in my head “is it my equipment or me”, if I miss, it’s me. Last weekend I...

    Recommendations on Remington 700 based actions?

    Aero SOLUS is a good option as well (I have Zermatt actions too, just offering another option). I got my first one just to try because of the price. Put a 6CM Proof on it and it shot great. Later I stumbled on one here when I decided I wanted to build a dasher/br/gt. It was the later version...

    Bumpski for traitor to the crown day! Tree fiddy shipped. I’d like to get it gone by Monday so I can ship it out before I head to NM for work. Otherwise I’ll have to put it on hold for about 18 days as I’ll be out of the area.

    Aero Solus 4th of July Sale

    I’ve got a couple of solus actions with proof barrels. For the price, it’s worth the wait. The tolerances are pretty damn amazing. I just pulled glass off a 6CM solus and put it on my 6 Dasher solus. Both actions have proof prefits. Same slots on the rail since I have the lop identical. I...
