    Big Horn TL2 w/ AW cut work in Rock Solid?

    .. with AW mags of course. If yes, I'm placing an order. I'm also wondering if anyone is doing any bedding in these stocks despite it really not being required. And if it show'd any better results? Thanks

    reloading application

    I've finally allocated some time to do some mobile app development and for my guinea-pig project, I have decided to do a simple app to keep track of my loads, load development, and rounds down range....nothing miraculous. Good motivation for me to familiarize with the toolset. The framework I'm...

    How are you liking your MCS T6?

    I am contemplating if I should change my order before the group buy due date. I was going to primarily use a T6 for comps and was wondering if anyone else had much experience with it for tactical LR comps. I'm asking here because I've never had hands-on time with one. Will I miss the thumb-hook...

    Necking down 6.5x47L to 6

    So I necked down a couple of my new 6.5x47L cases using a Forster 6x47L FL die and got a donut at the base of the neck. Without having the rifle I'm loading for yet, I'm wondering if I should just stop and see if it chambers or do some more processing. I have a forster trimmer with outside...

    OCW - Max Capacity and Fouling questions

    Two questions for those who are experienced with performing OCW test: I always wondered why so many shooters load so close to or above max, then I read the OBT Paper: "Any systematic effect that varies the chamber pressure or volume during the initial stages can dramatically change the...

    AICS spacer kit help

    Got the standard (non adjust/non butt-spike) spacer kit for my AX chassis in the mail today. No instructions, screws are insanely long and won't screw in all the way even with all the spacers. Is the solution to just dremel off to desired length?

    Barricades....go!

    Grab some PVC and wood from the garage and made a rickety wobbly adjustable barricade, disassembles and stores neatly under your bed...which I'm sure the spouse will enjoy.

    AX 10 rnd mags stiff feed

    Got a few new 10rnd ax mags, first few rounds are really resisting when feeding. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm assuming polishing the feed lips with dremel or some fine grit sandpaper? Someone on another post mentioned 400 grit. Was hoping for more feedback. Thanks

    Quick & dirty way to confirm how bullet shoots?

    Last week I found a node shooting about .35 for my 139 scenars at 42.5gr. Going to do another test at .2gr increments around that node to see if I can fine tune it. I also shot some 140 amax's, but all at 42gr, and they shot poorly. Probably a bad node, and maybe I should have tried more than...

    hornady - 49/50 W T F

    Finally got around to opening a couple boxes of 6.5CM brass I ordered before all the madness broke out. The first box I un seal and first thing I notice was a ziplock baggy. I can't quite remember - but the last time I opened a box I thought the brass was sealed in plastic. Low and behold...1...

    Write in style

    Coworker brought this bolt action bullet pen into work today. I asked where he got it....figured I share the info. Would have made a great stocking stuffer. http://pegasuspens.com/choose_a_pegasus_pen_pencil_or_set/choose_a_pegasus_bullet_pen

    single stack ar15 mags?

    Was wanting to run longer 80+gr bullets in my M4. Seeing as how you can't get those DPMS LRP/VLD mags or Snick Mags, I was thinking of getting a single stack mag, taking advantage of the groove at the rear of the mag, and taking out material from the front of the mag allowing the bullet tip to...

    Bushy HDMR turrets - lining up zero help

    Trying to zero my turrets, finding myself half way between clicks. Not finding instructions on how to correct this and I don't want to unscrew the inner screw without some verification. Thanks

    Q: Chambering for 140 vld and/or 139 scenar

    Been shooting 139 scenars for awhile and want to try the 140 VLD. However, I've read that secant ogive bullets, such as the VLD, don't like to jump. I already told the smith to get me to the lands at about 2.25....which is about a .01 jump for a 2.8 OAL with a 139 scenar. However, I think this...

    What to build? Opinions wanted

    I'm looking to build a 223 rem (affordability) gas fun gun to shoot along side my bolt. I'd like to practice positional shooting, windows, barricades at targets from 200-700 yards...and it would be nice to do some prone shooting (lobbing & praying) to 800-1000 for fun. My experience building...

    indoor powder storage, humidity, velocity

    I recently noticed about a 60fps drop in velocity from 2820 to 2760 in my 6.5CM. I only have about 1500 rounds through the barrel, but consider I shot 4 or 5 matches with it, along with getting it hot during training. So I assumed it the lands were about done or I needed to start chasing...

    CMMG 22 Conv Kit Mag problems

    Recently got the CMMG SS 22lr conversion kit w/ 26rnd mag for my wife's bushmaster M4, have had nothing but problems with it. The first round is very difficult to chamber, the magazine is hard to feed and release, and jams every 5-6th round. We are not finding many other alternatives. Anyone...

    Gunsmithing re-profiling a barrel

    Considering having my heavy contoured 24" kreiger barrel 're-profiled' to a GA#6 or equivalent. I have about 600 rounds down it so far and just want a little weight taken off the front to help with positional shooting / balance. Knowing I'll have to work up another load once this is done, is...

    2012 small scale ammo smithing, worth it?

    I am about to jump into a progressive setup. The obvious reason is after about x thousand rounds the equipment will pay for itself, then I start saving on expenses. But I also wonder if anyone turns a small profit to help pay for their habits by reloading for friends/acquaintances/family etc...
