    ES/SD going bad with Supressor

    Hi all- I had a tuned .223 handload of 24.3 grains of Varget with an 80gr eldx that was running about 2855 from my 26” barrel on my bolt action. Once I got my Gemtrek Trek, I’ve noticed that the velocity really didn’t change at all, but my ES/SD went from teens/single digits, to...

    Longest OAL in aics .223 mag?

    Building a fast twist .223 to shoot the big boys, 80's or 90's. I'd love to get some insight on who makes AICS mags that allow for the longest cartridge OAL. I called and spoke with accurate mag about theirs, and they indicated that if a fella was handy, theirs could be opened up to...
