    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    I had it out Thursday and worked up a load with 175 gr matchkings and some N140. Shot 10 rounds into .840”. Multiple 5 rounders in the .625 to .75 range. I didn’t take any pictures, didn’t cross my mind. This is not how it typically shoots. With 175 gmm it has been right around an inch for 5...

    Who uses BLC2 successfully

    44gr under a 175 smk has shot well for me in the past. I believe an iteration m118 was loaded with WC846 which is essentially non-canister BLC-2 As for the dirty part I have noticed it seems to leave some very hard to remove carbon in the bore, especially the 2-3 inches past the chamber. The...

    50 Shades of ODG

    I was inspired by a post in the LMT MWS thread several years ago. Took awhile but got it mostly the way I want.

    Retesting some reloads today. Very odd results!

    @Doom has given you a very comprehensive answer that almost certainly explains your situation. The only thing I would add, is if you were shooting in drastically different temperatures/conditions this can effect sd/es. I have loads that will hover around 9-11 sd for 30 plus rounds when the...

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Made it out to shoot today with the LMT/HTX combo. Things look fairly promising. I will preface this with I’m rusty from the lack of shooting over the winter. No “break in” was preformed with the new barrel. Loaded it and shot. I brought two rifles; an SR25 EC as a baseline and the LMT. The...

    Believe me; it’s killing me too.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    So, for anyone who is still interested in this project I have a couple of pictures of the work done so far. I got it back from d. Wilson, his work is excellent. I then sent it straight to Dana at Templar Precision for dimples. His work is also excellent. I have an older SL8 upper that I do not...

    Struggling with 5.56

    Staball match. Currently plentiful and very temp stable. Should get you around 2550 fps out of a 14.5.

    LMT .308 MWS

    If you are looking at the RTR line then it definitely makes sense to go that route. If they have what you are after I'm sure it will serve you well.

    LMT .308 MWS

    Check out the sr25 cartel barrels. They are made for the SR25. I had d. Wilson convert one for me, turned out great. I have yet to shoot it but I have little doubt it will preform well.

    308 FGGM brass

    I’ve seen fairly big swings in es/sd with mixed lots. Within the same lot it seems decent.

    StaBall Match Testing - 77gr Reloads, Chasing mk262

    With the lighter bullets, I too have observed it will give slightly slower velocity than Varget. Only tried with 55’s. With the 77’s I’m getting more speed out of the staball match and maybe a slight bit less precision vs Varget. With 25.2 of staball I get 2773 fps out of a 20” criterion. 24...

    Faster than Varget, slower than TAC. I think the precision you are able to achieve will be determined by your gun.

    New m110 barrel offering? Possible PSA Sabre-10 upgrade for using the KAC/Griffin M110 suppressor

    While that doesn’t make sense to me I guess if you care about gay shit like instagram then go for it.🤣 Why not just buy a PSA and have d. Wilson put a htx concepts gb on it? Pretty sure Griffen is making 5/8x24 m110 flash hiders.

    New m110 barrel offering? Possible PSA Sabre-10 upgrade for using the KAC/Griffin M110 suppressor

    After re-reading your initial post I see this would be for gen1 DPMS compatibility. Don’t know much about DPMS but if their barrels aren’t compatible with SR25 or clone uppers I would say there is very little market for something like that. Why would a guy do a poverty build and then buy a...

    New m110 barrel offering? Possible PSA Sabre-10 upgrade for using the KAC/Griffin M110 suppressor

    I think if they move forward with this keeping as close to the KAC dimensions would be the best bet. i.e. keep with the .750 gb journal and keep the shoulder in the correct location to work with KAC, HTX, Nefarious arms gas blocks. As for me I would love to see a chrome lined bore on an...

    Hopefully I’ll get it back in a couple of weeks and can provide a range report.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    Got this in the mail a couple day ago but hadn’t got a chance to really look it over until today. Initial impressions; buy it. If you are on the fence about quality or workmanship don’t be. The machining is excellent. No chatter marks inside or out. Their markings are tasteful and in no way...

    For sure. Give me a month or so and I’ll report back.
