    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    My Giraud has been running great for around 20 years now and is still using the original drive belt and cutting blades. Even on the 223 cutter head which has seen by far the most use I don't think I've ever rotated the carbide insert to a fresh edge, and it still cuts easy and leaves a nice...

    H4895!?

    Alliant is good stuff but their prices were some of the first to reach the ridiculous category, and unfortunately it looks like hodgdon is now priced right up there with alliant. Regarding AR comp being a substitute for H4895, it wasn't for me. All my 223s and 223AIs love AR Comp for 40-55gr...

    H4895!?

    It's funny that the powder world pulled an uno reverse card a few years ago and vihtavuori is now the "budget friendly" option. When I first got into shooting and reloading around 2001 the pricing was exactly the opposite, vihtavuori was the highest priced powder and hodgdon and imr were less...

    H4895!?

    No idea. I've chatted with several Aussie members over the last few years H4895 has been unobtanium here in the US and they said they had no issues getting 2206H in Australia. Not sure why it's not making it here to the US in decent quantities.

    H4895!?

    Still in stock, limit 3# per customer. https://shop.hodgdon.com/hodgdon-h4895/ Last time I saw it was probably a year ago, managed to snag 20# from Powder Valley at a much better price. Still my favorite powder for heavies in my 223AIs but it's been damn hard to get since 2020. Wonder if...

    SOLD AXMC .308 and .300WM bolts and firing pins bushed by LRI

    Unfortunately I don't, sorry. While I have a 308 bolt for my AXMC just for completeness I also have 2x AX308's for short action calibers and only run long action & magnum stuff out of my AXMC.

    SOLD AX AICS chassis, FDE, R700SA, Post-2014, RRS Arca

    Sold 2/13 Selling a post-2014 AX AICS R700SA chassis in FDE. I've used this for many years now on a 223AI that was used for target work and ground squirrel blasting. Still in very good condition other than minor marks in the cerakote around the magwell from inserting and removing mags and a...

    SOLD ARC M-Brace mount, 34mm, 38mm / 1.50" high, 0 MOA

    SOLD 2/8 Have a like new ARC M-brace mount for sale, 34mm tube, 38mm / 1.50 high, 0 MOA. While this worked great on my old AX AICS chassis I recently changed stocks and ran out of cheek rest adjustment, so had to change mount height. Asking $225 shipped and insured. Don't really need any...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Good point, the low rail may use reduced head height socket head screws or flatheads so they don't stick up above the rail, while the high rail might use regular full height head socket head screws since there's plenty of room for a deep counterbore. Much like button head screws, the reduced...

    Meanwhile, in Pakistan...

    Is that the newest side by side being offered by renowned English gunsmiths Halaland & Halaland? Nice to see them finally deviating from nearly 200 years of tradition and offering a more modern folding stock option.

    Printed Precision Trickler

    How does it do with very small extruded powders like AR comp, N120, or N133? I figured Paul's delay in getting the ingenuity system to the market might let a competitor slide in, and these test videos look promising. If this system ends up offering similar performance at a much lower price...

    That seems odd, fastener diameter and pitch and the threads in the action doesn't change between the low and high rails... Unless AI provides lower grade fasteners with the low rails and higher grade fasteners with the high rails which explains the torque difference; a possibility, but odd. Or...

    Trigger hanger adjustment vs. sear engagement: Which one first?

    Bix makes a low, medium, and tall upper sear. Swapping the sear on the bix depends on the trigger pin to cocking piece measurement of your action, and the CDG should be right in the center of the acceptable engagement range on the chart with the medium height sear the trigger comes with. This...

    BREAKING 01/31/25 6:20PM EST: Plane crashes near Philadelphia mall. ETA: Updates coming in now.

    Most flight tracking websites default to reporting ground speed, so if the flight tracking website that people are referencing was reporting say 250kt ground speed at the time of impact that's only the horizontal component of the actual velocity-- given the steep descent in the video the actual...
