    Tongue in cheek, but really happened 6 Creedmoor

    So a close friend of mine was able on a whim of sorts to acquire a Proof Research barrel for his AI. In the process of his load development today with 109 Berger's doing a seating depth test: well he thinks he has a decent load... In no way should the data shown be considered safe in any...

    Sources of pressure

    Recently working with 2 different .260 rifles. One an AI the other a JP. what I am finding difficult to understand is why the gas gun is apparently so much more sensitive to pressure. This is based on my "ignorant" assumption that regardless of the breech in the chambers and ammunition...

    Suppressors What powder or type of powder causes the least amount of fouling

    Being the proud owner of several silencers, and having to deal with the disassembly and cleaning of several of them the thought comes to mind that perhaps there is a best "diet" to feed these useful devices. Most specifically to be used in the .223Rem/5.56Nato, 6.5 Creedmoor & the venerable .308...

    What are your three favorite powders for the .308 Winchester with 168/175 grain bullets?

    Varget first IMR 4064 second IMR 4895 third for me I've also had excellent results with VV 140 and VV 540 Never really tried the RL 15 as Varget was dominating my .308 shooting. Would make an excellent poll I think... Duh

    George, will you forgive me? GAP 10 breakin

    I dropped one, Mea Culpa Mea Culpa Left target was FL sized Winchester cases averaging 158 grains in weight unloaded, right side was New Winchester brass averaging 162 grains in weight unloaded. Barrel clean and cold at beginning, sequence of firing was upper most left 1st, the upper...

    That Love / Hate thing again, GAP 10 with 4895 and 175 SMK's

    I started with a clean oil only lubed rifle and the Winchester brass with IMR 4064, a load that has shot well... it still does with 100% function. Next I went a little higher than previously with 4064 to gather data and wear this rifle out. The rifle functioned 100% to the 42.3 grain load...

    Love/Hate relationship, My new GAP 10

    100 yards to develop a Varget and 175 Sierra MK load, easy right? Start with 5 rounds of FGMM 168's just to season the otherwise clean bore. Then a bottom of the book 42.0 grains with SMK at 2.80" COL and Federal 210 standard primers in LC LR 11 cases that were once fired, Headspace had been...

    GAP 10 doesn't like XM 118 LR?

    Just in the process of breaking in a new rifle and had particularly bad results with this ammo (American Eagle 168's the exact opposite however.) Besides the horrible accuracy, primer material was extruding into the firing pin hole. Thank God I only fired 5 rounds. Made a 1 click down and 1...

    Rifle Scopes TAO1NSN ACOG specific question

    The 4X no fiber optic. This one: I've been to Trijicon's site and through the owners manual and can't find this bit of information. How much adjustment travel is there for the elevation and the windage. Not the amount per click but total up and down or left and right. Thanks.

    Regards .308 & 175 SMK case; capacity changes

    When using Varget powder and Federal 210 primers then switching between Federal GMM brass and Winchester brass is there a "standard" adjustment to the charge for the case capacity differential? Such as +/- several tenths of a grain to attain the same muzzle velocity?

    Rem 700 SA question

    Who makes the lowest to the receiver Picatinny Rail mount? Looking to keep a normally high mounted optic a bit closer to the bore. Thanks

    IMR 4320, what's the best use

    With the current powder availability I've decided to get rid of all old stock, partial cans etc. I found a few old metal IMR 4320 cans and decided to burn it up. .223, 6 XC (light bullets) .308, .30-06 what do you suggest?

    Accuracy (or precision) suffering when mag fed

    When allowing rounds to feed in the semi cycle accuracy suffers greatly. It appears that a cut or scratching on the bullet jacket is being made by contact to the barrel extension during clambering. What or how can this problem be resolved? Thank you.
