    Anybody know who might have a brake mount laying around? I know Crux is done... just seeing if anybody has a 1/2X28 mount that I could use on an AR. Thanks, CJ97

    Back to the 338 LM.

    I got a couple hundred of the Midway bulk packed .338 Lapua brass this week, (Too good of a deal to pass up) so I think I will take off the .300 NM barrel and put the LM barrel back on. It's been a while since I've shot the .338. I need to get some bullets and am not sure what direction to go...

    230 Hybrid or 215?

    I asked over in the Reloading Depot, But maybe this is a better place... I'm wondering about bullets for the 300 Norma Mag. I'm about out of 230 Hybrids and need to buy some more. The 230s have performed well, but it seems like I have seen somewhere that the 215s were better. Does anybody have...

    Help me diagnose symptoms with my AT

    Sometime in the last 150 rounds or so my rifle has: 1.) Started piercing primers 2.) Accuracy went from .3" @ 100 yards to over an inch 3.) Extractor will not pick up unfired rounds or empty brass. 4.) Started flattening primers on a load that previously demonstrated no pressure signs It...

    Quick Cooling a Barrel and Suppressor

    I live and shoot in Deep South Texas where it gets damn hot. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would hurt the rifle and/or suppressor to drape a wet towel over them in an effort to cool them off. I was thinking about keeping one in an ice chest and then deploying it every 4 or 5 shots so I...

    Am I wasting my time?

    I had picking up range .223 & 5.56 brass for years and finally decided to start processing a few month ago. I had it all stainless media tumbled and annealed, spent hours swaging primer pockets on about 25% of the 2100 pieces and then primed it all with a Lee handheld while sitting in front of...

    Why not .338 LM Ackley Improved?

    If you are trying to send a 300 grain Berger or Scenar or Matchking, etc. as fast as possible without going to the larger bolt diameter of the .375 or .408 cases, is the .338 AI not the way to go? I know you are going to have the headache of fire forming your brass, but what other...

    Nosler .338 300 Grain Custom Competition

    Midway has this bullet listed as "Coming Soon." Midway and Nosler both have the BC as .800 and Midway has the price on the website as $49.49 for a box of 100. Can anybody tell me anything else about these bullets? Thanks! jfields

    Range Report 6 Creed OCW

    Just looking for opinion on which way to go on this one. The best groups were with the 41.3 and 42.2, but 42.2 was starting to show a little pressure. My target velocity is 3150. I'm wondering if I play with the seating depth at 41.6, may be i can tighten that up a bit. Gun is a...

    FGMM .308 Brass

    I have been picking up FGMM brass for a while and finally have about 500 pieces that I decided to load some 175 SMK blems that I have had sitting around. This is going to be for an autoloader, but that is neither here nor there. I had the brass cleaned in SS media and annealed a while back and...

    6MM Creedmoore & N165

    Hey, Guys. I'm looking at having a a 6 Creed built sometime soon and was all set to start sourcing some H4350 to burn when I found 6 lbs of N165 on the shelf left over from some .338 LM loading. H4350 being harder than hell to find and no one jumping up and down to take this N165 off my hands...

    Does OCW Work?

    I tried Newberry's OCW method for the first time several weeks ago on my .308. I loaded a total of 21 rounds to shoot 7 3 shot groups, round robin style at 100 yards. Components were Black Hills brass, recently cleaned and annealed, 178 AMAXs, and Varget. There were two possible charge...

    Bulk .223 Parts list

    Hey Guys, Some of the guys from the 3 Gun club are talking about getting together to do a few thousand rounds of .223 for practice and matches. I have been tasked with getting the components list together and am looking for a little help. I have checked several websites, and it looks like...

    16" .308 Projectile

    I am thinking about starting load development for a 16" REPR. I am looking for suggestions on a bullet that will be used primarily for hunting white tails and feral hogs. I am torn between going light and fast or sending the heavier bullets a little slower. I would not be comfortable taking a...

    Opinions on the correct caliber.

    I would like to send 300 Berger OTMs at around 2850-2900 FPS. Is the .338 LM the right caliber for this? I don't think I can reach this speed with the 110BA that I am currently shooting. Cases are getting stuck at around 90 grains of Retumbo and that is only getting me about 2630 FPS. I'd...

    110BA .338-High pressure where it shouldn't be.

    Just looking for some opinions here. I have been reloading Lapua brass for my 110BA .338LM, and am getting ejector swipes, heavy bolt lift and stuck cases. I know these are all signs excess pressure, but it doesn't make sense that this is the case. This is the second firing of this box of...

    TA01NSN-308 for a REPR

    Is there any reason that this optic is not a great choice for a 16 inch .308 gasser? I'm wondering what round and what velocity the hold overs are for, and are the integrated iron sights any good? It looks like it would be a nice battle rifle optic. Thanks for any feedback. -Shaky
