    6.5 Grendel Barrels selection (late) 2023?

    Craddockprecision.com if you want a Bartlein (who doesn't). They would fit into your criteria more or less. I have 2 Craddock chambered barrels and both are smile producing every time I shoot them. A Proof SS 20" was a good choice for me too. With the .750 GB it isn't too heavy and has always...

    Issues with Lantec Ebcg not going fully into battery. Suggestions?

    Just for the sake of trying something did you try the original bolt in the Lantac carrier or is this a new rifle? Try this to isolate any issue. Also mentioned above, how tight is the carrier (carrier only) in the upper when it's clean. Do you feel the carrier smack the gas tube? I spend some...

    Optic for 500 YD with 556

    IMO, the PST II would be where I would start. You'll never regret a decent optic but will regret a cheap optic. The 3-15 mentioned is a good place to start. The 2.5-10 is also a good size but more specialized. They are heavy pigs though.... I will run only a 0 MOA mount on my AR's as my optics...

    Looking For 6.5 Grendel Reliability Optimizations

    As I mentioned, I consider 8208 my lighter bullet powder though it can be very accurate with the heavier Grendel appropriate bullets. 28ish grains is in line with what I've used it at with the 120-123's. All of my barrels have been rifle length gas systems but longer barrels than yours. Since...

    Looking For 6.5 Grendel Reliability Optimizations

    As far as the Grendel goes, LRRPF52 knows a thing or two! I may be misunderstanding what you mean when you mention having issues with new brass. Will new brass not reliably chamber or is it an issue with your loads? The tool memtioned above is used by me every time I set a FL sizing die. I...

    Reloading for a rifle with an adjustable gas block….

    Not that I'm any sort of expert, but I've loaded for more than a few AR's with AGB's. I tend to have them set for lockback and work up a load. If during work up I notice higher pressure, I may close it up a click or two. I shoot mostly suppressed (hell, nowadays only suppressed) and have the SA...

    BCG & accuracy?

    Joe Carlos? I've read a lot (most) of his articles available online. He advocates for either the Young Manufacturing NM BC or JP BC due to them being more snug. Can't say how much of a difference it makes but using one or the other in all of my AR's was expensive. I would like to have about 4-7...

    How long will Moly Coating stay in a barrel?

    I was going to ask the same question as Supersubes but figured the answer. It was a popular thing at one time and fell out of favor. I've never coated any myself but read plenty on how to do it (and the other miracle bullet coatings). Never went down that road but know a few that did. I have...

    How long will Moly Coating stay in a barrel?

    Looking down the bore by eyeball will tell you if there's anything obstructing the bore and not much else. Looking down the bore with a borescope will make you wonder why the hell you bought one in the first place. It's a fine line from crazy to genius and you're walking it with a borescope. All...

    How long will Moly Coating stay in a barrel?

    Have you looked inside the barrel (borescope)? That's a carbon steel barrel and moly had/has a reputation for being hygroscopic. Sounds as if you kept it clean so maybe not a corrosion issue but.... One way of getting it out is Iosso on patches or JB's. If you're not using moly anymore, I'd...

    I could use some help choosing dies

    Can of worms question. Probably many that replied have more than one brand for a specific cartridge and then tend to settle down with one brand eventually. Some may prefer a certain brand of sizer and another brand of seater because of certain features and then add the complexity of another...

    decapper/ expander Question

    I expand my 300BO another way. As I also shoot supers, and those flat bases won't just sit there waiting to be seated, so I use a type of a M Die. NOE bullet molds makes rifle expanders that add a small expanded step at the mouth and the flat bases can be pushed into (it's adjustable). The...

    Starting Point For Lands "Jump" on an AR15/6.5 Grendel

    As mentioned, magazine length will probably force your OAL. If you have some ability, you can get a PRI 6.8 magazine and cut and file the front so you can increase your ability to run a longer OAL. That may not be necessary however. I have been shooting and loading the Grendel for many years...

    6mm ARC Help

    Interesting. I'll assume this was using the previously problematic Starline 6ARC brass. I've been pretty lucky with bolts working without issue but still keep spares on hand. Hey, at least it's a cheap hobby were in....

    Type A vs ADM vs CLE for a SPR?

    I prefer Bartlein over all the rest. Not that it matters to the discussion but I have another barrel chambered by Craddock that is not a Bartlein. It is a Rainier Ultra Match 10.3" 300BO barrel which by another name (as I understand from many here) is a Criterion barrel chambered and fluted by...

    Type A vs ADM vs CLE for a SPR?

    Not exactly an answer to your question but you'll never regret starting with a Bartlein or Krieger (unless it won't shoot that is). Mine isn't a Mk12 clone but it is a 11" Craddock Precision Signature Bartlein and it does shoot sub MOA through a Dead Air Nomad using the Xeno stuff. Got it on...

    6mm ARC Help

    Out of curiosity, how does the new Starline ARC brass feed? Have you checked to see if it drops in with resistance? Try focusing on just the Starline ARC brass with a clean chamber. I also would run the new brass into your sizer as it may be a little snug in your chamber before loading the cases...

    FTE 300 BKT

    I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I have never done that! I might have (allegedly) put a rifle length gas tube upside down once but I have no memory of the event....
