    Virgin brass not grouping

    If you didn’t run the necks through an expander ball or a mandrel, most virgin brass I’ve used (especially Lapua) has very undersized necks. Loading it without expanding would give extremely high neck tension, and could cause your problem. I also agree that what ShtrRdy mentioned could cause...

    best calipers, preferably digital

    Like most everyone else said, I’m also using the Mitutoyo. However, I’ve heard a lot of really good things about the iGaging stuff. If I didn’t already have the Mitutoyo, I would 100% try them before buying the Mitutoyo.

    No, I don’t have any problems. The hinges have enough friction to keep the stocks from flopping around even without the lock. There are absolutely no draw backs to samb300’s thumb rests that I have found or noticed. I highly recommend them. They provide a perfect support when you do use them...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Got out to check my dope for the 140 Hybrids earlier out to 500. I haven’t even got 100 rounds through the Minox yet, but I love it a little more every time I use it. It has easily taken the spot of my favorite scope I’ve ever used. The only thing that I have any interest in trying over it now...

    Proof Research barrel break in?

    I completely ignored all break in with both of my Proof barrels. In fact, I’m at 300 rounds with my latest one, and I’ve never cleaned it since before I shot it the first time. No problems with either. It is literally impossible to mess up your Proof, or any barrel for that matter, by not doing...

    @samb300 before, I was using a March 3-24x52 on the 40-X, and the mount I was using was as low as possible and still clear the handguard. With that setup, I had the cheek piece bottomed out and it was still slightly too high. With the AMG and the higher mount, I have the cheek piece raised a...

    Got the Minox ZP5 put on my AX and switched the AMG onto my 40-X JElrod Repeater Conversion. I’ve wanted a Minox for a couple of years, and was extremely happy with it shooting earlier today.

    WTS- Spuhr SP-3001 $300 SOLD

    I have a Spuhr Sp-3001 I’d like to sell. It’s in good shape with original box and parts. $300 shipped. Would trade for a Hawk Hill Spuhr mount dope card holder, an Armageddon Gear black suppressor cover for an Ultra 9, or Vortex throw lever for an AMG.

    @Covertnoob5 I could only find an old crappy scale lying around the house, but my AX (exactly as in the pic minus the Ultra 9) is reading about 15.5 lb, which seems about right. I was expecting somewhere between 15 and 20.

    Pulled bullet accuracy

    When I switched barrels on my AX, I still had about 100 rounds loaded I hadn’t shot. I pulled the bullets and the powder, and loaded them in the new brass I got to go with the new barrel. With no load dev at all, I just used them in a mild load I had used a lot with my old barrel. They shot .4...

    @Basher My 16” .308 barrel is a factory AX barrel that was cut, so I think it is fairly close to a Medium Palma in contour, but am not 100% on that. I have no complaints about the length or contour, though I’m not using it in any comps or anything, and I also have the 24” 6.5 barrel as well if I...

    @Covertnoob5 I don’t know the weight. I’m out of town until Thursday night, but if I remember I’ll weigh it and let you know. Hopefully, I’ll remember since I have a used Minox ZP5 I got that will be waiting for me when I get back I’m going to put on it and move the AMG to my 40-X repeater...

    @Scotch_egg It’s a 24”. That’s the only length Proof offers in the small tenon prefits for most calibers. I actually prefer the 24” compared to my old OTM Gradous barrel that was 26”. The 2” makes the 24” a lot more maneuverable, especially with the Ultra 9 hanging off the end. I’ve been...

    The Proof 6.5x47L barrel is not disappointing me on the Tungsten AX. I’m getting about 2760fps out of Berger 140 Hybrids. That first group was horrible because I was having trouble getting used to the terrible mirage. I also wasn’t overjoyed when I broke the trigger before I was ready for shot...

    MPA BA Chassis for old Rem 700 SA

    I have a Remington 40-X from the 60’s that dropped straight into an AICS AX chassis with no problem, so your 80’s 700 definitely shouldn’t have any problem.

    Getting out of 223, Lapua brass, Redding and Forster dies *Sold

    I’ve decided reloading .223 for my AR isn’t worth my time when I can just grab some FGMM and get basically the same performance other than slightly worse SD. • 299 pieces of Lapua brass. 100 are 2x fired, the other 199 are 1x fired. They were fired in a Proof barrel with a JP bolt and carrier...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Eotech Vudu 5-25, Now With Photos

    @Blackfoot 7 I agree with your point that it is much better under 20x. However, in my opinion, this is one of the few scopes where the performance above 20x is actually extremely relevant to its overall viability. To me, this scope was worth it because it fills a niche without any real...

    Rifle Scopes Review of the Eotech Vudu 5-25, Now With Photos

    @sleeplz both the original one I got that was a complete POS, and the replacement they sent me have very noticeable chromatic aberration just like you saw. I’ve heard several people claim they don’t get much CA, but I have come to suspect some of them either don’t know what a scope that actually...
