    Read my post again.

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    My ace 223 is really growing on me. It’s shooting 75 ELDs and cheap ADI 69 SMKs really well. Doesn’t bughole everything it touches but it shoots what I wanted it for very well.

    Hornady is making knockoff/clone bullets (Aeromatch)

    they say “don’t change your load, seating die, or dope”.. they are 69, 77, 168, 175 smk clones and 105 and 140 hybrid clones. Look at the gol darn BCs. They aren’t being sneaky about it, they are outright saying we’re making the same thing for cheaper and it’s going to be more available.

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    The factory tikka plastic stocks are quite rigid for what they are. Primary upgrade with the bravo is Ergos IMO. Having AICS compatibility and being highly modular are other possible benefits.

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    There’s a ton of people who thread barrels, have no fear. My factory 8 twist lite didn’t like 75 ELDs either so I had an ACE 7.5 twist in the factory lite contour spun up and now it likes 75 ELDs. Factory barrel liked 73 ELDs and a number of other bullets. It will be my most shot rifle, almost...

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    Didn't read the whole thing in detail but a tikka lite 22-250 with 8 twist (if such a thing exists for lefties) would be a great place to start. Getting a muzzle threaded is a pretty basic task. no additional trigger, bottom metal, magazine needed like a 700 custom unless of course you change...

    Load Development - Process

    I won’t say that load development is a farce but rather most of the shit people do has been a waste of time for me and many of the changes I’ve tried haven’t shown indisputable impacts.

    75 Degree Bolts are landing

    I never had clearance issues, especially with gamer gun optic mount heights. I think I’d rather have a lighter bolt lift than 75 degrees but am not sold either way.

    What’s the thoughts on a Seekins Havak PH2????

    I think they are good rifles for the money but if you’re looking for a bench rifle / range toy I wouldn’t get a sporter rifle like the PH2. I’d look at the HIT model instead from seekins.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Have you tried milder loads and/or hotter primers? I haven't done much 308 sized case, small primer, ball powder shooting but have had hang fires with factory berger 6 creed ammo in cool temps - thinking mild primer and ball powder led to mediocre ignition.

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    At least when they announced it on rokslide or on the S2h pod and I quickly looked up the prices it was just the machine work. I doubt they were selling chambered ACE tubes below the price of a bartlein blank.

    MoneyPitArms Matrix Thumb Wheel ball and spring

    Tagging in.. Been tempted to sell my OG BA Comp but i lost the god damned little balls taking the cheek riser off and adjusting LOP myself and haven't taken the time to figure out how to replace and fix it... Just been using it with set screws tightened ever since.

    Best looking Chassis

    My reading comprehension is just fine. The whole topic just reminds me of the suckers who spend big $ on a carbon barreled chassis rifle for hunting because they think they look cool - because the focus is on appearance first. Speaking of tampon tim, this "which chassis looks coolest" is the...

    Best looking Chassis

    OP is perfect illustration and example of all the hosers who want a $4k carbon barreled rifle in a chassis to go hunting. Fucking fashion statements.

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    Bump - Anyone have more input now that more are in the wild yet? My sample size of 1 is just getting started. Bought it to replace the factory 8 twist 223 lite tube on my tikka primarily because it didn't like to shoot 75 ELDs. I don't have many rounds down it yet but it definitely does better...

    .223 - 5.56

    In regards to all this bushing and expander talk - I played the bushing and mandrel game for a bit and the last handful of cartridges I've moved to just getting forster FL sizing dies honed to not overwork the necks and use the expander balls. Maybe benchrest guys can tell the difference but I...

    .223 - 5.56

    Ain’t nothin wrong with jumping em 62 thou. I usually start around 50 thou and if it shoots good I don’t bother trying anything else sometimes.

    .223 - 5.56

    Freebore and jump to lands are two different things. Freebore is a single dimension of a chamber. Distance to lands is impacted by freebore diameter, freebore length and leade angle. That load data is probably for a 223 chamber and 223 SAAMI pressure. 223 Wylde will build pressure slower than a...
