    .224 Valkyrie

    I will have 200 pieces of Federal Brass on the 24th but just sold my .224 V upper and looking to buy an upper or rifle in 1:6.5 twist for the 88 and 90 grain pills.

    .224 Valkyrie AR15

    What kind of accuracy are you getting with the 1:7 twist? Does the 88 ELD shoot the best or are you having better luck with the factory 75TMJ and 60NBT? My experience with a 20" 1:7 PSA upper was not fun. I sent it back after barrel break in due to 3 MOA for the 90's. I was hoping for at least 1...

    Whats goin on here!! (Help)

    Ejector, donut, and under gassed would be the areas I would look at for a resolution. On a side note, those 80 grain pills are grouping well with such an economical upper. My PSA 1:7 20" .224 V shot the 88's and 90 factory at 3MOA. Shot the factory 75 TMJ at around 1 MOA. Couldn't find any 60...

    Did you sell this yet? Any reason for wanting to sell it? How has your experience been with X Caliber barrels?

    Rifle range setup

    Past 1,200 yards with noticeable wind, you lose the audible verification. I have some AR400 1/4" plates made for 1 mile and 1.5 mile shooting. The lighter weight plates will give a more reliable visual indicator at those distances. I would recommend learning about "how to set up" steel plates...

    Rifle range setup

    I get along well with Shepard's hooks as well. Quite cheap if bought on sale in the fall at Wallyworld, Menards, Runnings, Tractor Supply, etc..

    Barricade Plans

    I appreciate the plans. Looks like a winter project for me. I have been wanting to build some more barricades for my range.

    DIY Shooting bags

    I upgraded to a Singer Heavy Duty 4423 for DIY projects. My previous Singer model could barely handle blue jean repairs. I sew up to 4 layers of 1,000 Cordura and feel this is max capability. I have only sewn up to 3 layers of 1" webbing as well without issue. I use heavy duty jean or upholstery...

    DIY Shooting bags

    Where did you find the camo velcro? Or did you Rite dye it yourself? I find the hardest part of making your own bags is finding the preferred material colors.

    Decided to Rattlecan my Rifle

    I thought alike when I had my fist custom rifle in my hands. I botched my first few attempts due to lack of proper prep work. Detailed de-greasing and taping is key to success. After painting dozens of my own rifles and friends, I would not consider paying someone else to camo my stick. Worst...

    Decided to Rattlecan my Rifle

    Looks great, better attention to detail than I give. I use a similar green colored Rustoelum and really enjoy how it blends year round on the prairie and in conifer forests. I gave up using browns and dark greens in my area because the dark colors are too easy to pick out compared to the light...

    coyote range finder

    I use my SIG 2400BDX for shooting and hunting, to include yotes. Best rangefinder I have purchased yet. In the field, while on a set, I find it difficult to range dog sized targets further than 600yds off hand. I range a nearby tree, side hill, or other terrain feature/object to get my range. I...

    .224 Valkarye Accuracy Experience

    I hope to contact PSA tomorrow and get an update. I would be happy with MOA for the price I paid with factory ammo and fine tune it with handloads.

    Rifle Tripod Clamp

    I have found that you want the channel to match the for end of your rifle. You don't want it loose or it becomes unstable. I fix this by adding enough foam. I have also found that if the channel is too short, it is also unstable. 4-5 inches seems to work for me. I use Manfrotto and SLIK heads...

    .224 Valkarye Accuracy Experience

    I probably should have mentioned this in the original post. I have shot it without a chrono, No change in accuracy, only POI. If a Magneto Speed attached to a can affects the accuracy of your rifle, I would be looking at stock, bedding, free float barrel, and slim barrel profile issues...

    Mission Critical PRST CF Tripod?

    Copy, I think SLIK is made in Japan. PRST aren't exactly cheap are they. Good luck in a speedy delivery. Sounds like a good reason to take a road trip to Canada.
