    End cap to replace AI muzzle brake?

    Is there an end-cap available to protect the threads on my AE barrel when the muzzle brake is removed? Thinking I wanna try F-class shooting, where the MB is not allowed. Would this be a custom item? Thanks

    SMK 175 + Varget Load Work-Up

    Liking the 175s with Varget better so far than my other work-up using L155s with 8208XBR. I'm able to get the ogive just touching the lands and easily fit in the mag with room to spare (AICS). Question is, where do I go from the below initial work-up. New Lapua brass and really interested in...

    How much cavity in HP bullets?

    Was messing around waiting for the weekend to go shooting and decided to stick a safety pin into the hollow points of the loaded Lapua 155 scenars that are sitting on the kitchen table. Figured I'd clean out the small burrs left by the meplat trimmer. I spun the tips on 0000 steel wool...

    Load work-up 8208 XBR and L155 Scenar by OCW

    Was getting north of 2900 on the last 2 charges with a 20 inch barrel (AI AE MKII). Chrono was sporatic with bad light conditions here in MI, so many rounds did not register. Highest I saw was 2926 with 45.6 gr. Had no pressure signs that I could detect. Did get one of the 45.9's to register...

    Any accidents in load work-up?

    All the precautionary measures are certainly needed and must be followed when reloading, I understand this totally and feel I've done sufficient research on what I'm doing as a new reloader for rifle. I've reloaded tons of .45. Chamber length, head space, measure from ogive to head with...

    New versus fired brass OCW work-up

    Gettin ready to do an OCW assessment for a load on new Lapua brass. Anyone think I should reduce expected charge versus a workup on fire-formed brass due to possible volume changes. Is this a considerable factor? Gonna start low and work up, obviously, but should I expect a big difference with...

    Issue with Dillon full length resize die

    Before I call Dillon tomorrow morning, maybe someone here can help me figure out if I'm doing something wrong. On my Dillon 650XL, bought about 8 years ago, I just got all the goodies to switch over frome .45 to .308. Issue I'm having is that even with the Dillon resize die screwed all the way...

    Rifle Scopes Premier 3-15 on AI AEMKII

    I understand that this rig requires some milling of the 18 MOA AI base to accomodate the erector housing, but can't seen to find details, even with the Google search. Can someone give me a link or otherwise fill me in on what needs to be done to make this work? Thanks

    Movie Theater History channel

    Is playing this great documatary series I caught about a month ago. Sniper: Inside the Crosshairs followed by Sniper: Deadliest missions. Found it on this morning (10AM- 2PM eastern) and am DVRing it. Great stuff like Carlos Hathcock and other Vietnam stories, along with modern Middle East stuff.

    IMR 8208 XBR, thumbs up?

    So for the loaders with experience, has this powder lived up to all the hype since its release about a year ago? How does it compare to Varget? Burn time too fast for heavier bullets like, say 175 gr in .308? Does it meter like a ball powder?
