    Sooty case neck

    Probably been asked already but I couldn't find anything. I reload for 308 using imr4064, 4895 and Varget... 155's, 168's and 175's. With various load combinations the case necks are sooty after firing and other loads aren't (same brass). Is this simply a function of pressure where some are...

    WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

    I've been shooting AR's for 30 years, have built a ton of them. My target AR15 (223) shoots 3/8", 100 yard groups pretty easily and consistently from the magazine. Built another AR10 308 with top tier products... because I'm pigheaded and won't give up. Matched AERO upper and lower Nightforce...

    Geometry question.... Angular movement

    I'm old and my geometry is long gone. Weird question I cannot answer. For sake of argument lets assume a rifle will put every round though the same hole...... What amount of movement at the bench would cause 1/4" impact movement at 100 yards? 1/16", 1/8"?? I've long forgotten how to calculate...

    Maggie’s Surrender a Suppressor

    Sort of a estate planning question. I have a couple of suppressors on individual form 4's. If I were to pass for some reason I was wondering how or what my wife would need to do to? I'm assuming she could surrender them to the local sheriff's office or ATF branch. Would that be correct? They are...

    What determines brass ejection angle/position

    On my AR 15 the brass ejects at about 4:30PM from the ejection port, very consistent. It's where it always has thrown spent brass. No issues. On my AR10 308 it's throwing them out at about 1PM from the ejection port. I have an SLR adjustable gas block set to function consistently. Is there...

    Poor precision with competition seating dies.

    I have a Redding Competition seating die and a Forster Competition seater for 308. Normally seating 168 or 175 smk's. On both of them I can make a 1,2,3 or 4 thous. adjustment and maybe it will be exact and maybe not... Sometimes I can make an adjustment and nothing happens... or it moves past...
