    Just picked it up today, and well worth the wait. Chambered in .284 Winchester, Lilja 28" barrel on a Remington 700 long action and an 8oz Jewell trigger. Bedded into a GRS stock topped off with a Nightforce 15-55 x52 competition scope. Can't wait put some lead down range!

    Semi auto accuracy.....what's the secret?

    I have a Robinson Arms XCR-M in .308 (piston driven) and I cannot get it to shoot a tight group. I hand load all my ammo and I can shoot 1/2 MOA groups from my bolt gun. I am currently trying to develop a load for the XCR with IMR 3031 and 168g A MAX bullets. I have tried 39.0 gr up to 43.0 gr...

    Load for semi auto vs. bolt action?

    Should the load I use use for my Rem. 700 .308 be reasonably accutate in my Robinson Arms XCR-M .308 semi auto? My 700 is a 26" heavy barrel with a 1:10 twist in an AI chassis. I can shoot sub MOA groups at 100 with 168gr. Hornady BTHP Match bullets and 44.0 gr. of Varget. My XCR-M is an 18.6"...

    Semi auto crushing case mouth???

    I would like to reload for my Rob Arms XCR-M in .308, but the case mouths are getting severly dented in when the rifle ejects them. Is this common for a semi auto? The gas preasure on the rifle is turned up to maximum as recommended for the break-in period. I did not take any pictures of the...

    Photos Lucky guess??

    These are 5 shot groups at 107 yards with my Remington 700 in .308. I was trying some 165 Sierra HPBT and Hornady 168gr HPBT. I just used a middle of the road powder charge for each and spent alot of time prepping my brass. I was smiling ear to ear. I've always been a semi-auto kind a guy and...
