    powder used in Hornady 6mm Creedmoor factory loads ?

    Anyone know what powder Hornady uses in their 6mm Creedmoor factory loads? My scales indicate 40.3gr for the 108 ELD-M, and 41.3 for the 103 ELD-X. Velocity from my 22" barrel is ~2925 and 2975 fps respectively (which might increase as barrel breaks in). Powder does not appear to be H4350...

    stock makeover for Tikka T3 Sporter

    While waiting on a Manners stock ordered for the same rifle, I decided to give the Tikka T3 Sporter factory stock a makeover. I had seen all I wanted of the orange laminate. Here are a couple of "before" pics... Removed some wood from around the magwell and tang, stippled the grip...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP scope illumination ?

    March charges a healthy premium for illumination in their tactical FFP models. Before buying, I would like to know how dim they can go. For lowlight hunting applications, I don't want the lowest setting to be too bright, thus washing out the target. If some owners could shed some insight...

    accuracy effect of PRI rail /mk12 mod 0 type setup

    I have some questions regarding the full-length rail that affixes to both receiver and PRI handguard of a Mk12 Mod 0 <span style="text-decoration: underline">type</span> setup. (I'm not attempting to exactly duplicate the Mk12 Mod 0, so nostalgia and "correctness" can be set aside for this...

    Gunsmithing source for 6.5 Grendel extractor ?

    Is there a source for replacement 6.5 Grendel extractors for AR-15 bolts? Don't see the part listed on AA's website, and would prefer to not buy an entire bolt for just an extractor. Will the DPMS 7.62x39 extractor work properly? Any other options? Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Premier LT 3-15x50mm illumination question

    Regarding the relatively new Premier Light Tactical 3-15x50mm scope, how bright is the illumination at its lowest setting? With most scopes, I find that even at their lowest setting, the target is no longer visible when hunting in low light due to the reticle being too bright. How is it on the...

    Leverevolution powder for 6.5 Grendel ?

    While waiting on components for a 6.5 G build, I was wondering if anyone has tried Hodgdon's Leverevolution powder. Research suggests that common ball powders for this cartridge include BL-C(2), AA2520, and W-748. Referencing Hodgdon's burn rate chart, Leverevolution (also a ball powder) seems...

    accuracy woes... please help (Rem 700)

    Having some issues regarding accuracy with a Rem 700 6.8 SPC. I'm somewhat inexperienced with tweaking bolt rifles, so could use some help. Rifle is new-to-me, supposedly had only ~60 rounds through it by previous owner. I suppose it's some version of Rem's LTR, as it has a 22" fluted barrel...

    tactical stock for sporter barrel ? (Rem 700)

    Does anyone make a tactical stock for a Remington 700 (short action) with sporter-weight barrel? Wouldn't mind having a light version of a tactical rifle, with the appearance of such. Seems that the tactical stocks that I've seen are designed for heavy barrels, and wouldn't be a good match with...

    Rifle Scopes positioning of Butler Creek scope lens covers

    Perhaps an odd question, but what's the preferred positioning of Butler Creek scope caps? Sometimes I see 'em positioned to flip straight up, and sometimes I see 'em positioned to flip open to the right for a right-handed shooter (especially the cover on the front objective). I've also seen the...
