    New EnABELR

    Your exactly right! In a tactical world the 375 enabler makes perfect sense since it's all about compromises... Design a mag feed platform around mission parameters that consider the best solution regarding carry weight, size, reliability, serviceability and consistent accuracy against a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 2020 COLT PYTHON

    Yes, I will get a 6 inch version if the build quality is there....(...6 inch is on order) For all the detractors out there I will say you obviously have never shot an old Python and found that special load that it liked. This wasn't a cheap gun back then and I don't expect it to be cheap now...

    Gunsmithing .50 DTC to .50 BMG

    Depending on the shank length of the barrel you might be able to get the barrel set back far enough to rechamber it as a 50BMG. You'll need to shorten the shank about 1-1/2" to 1-3/4" in order to do this. So if your shank length is 6 inches or longer you should be all good. BTW-The Navy...

    New Sig CROSS

    I think you might have misinterpreted the case capacity for the 277 Fury. Usable case capacity is about 49-50 gr & total case capacity is about 58-59 gr. Not sure you can shove that much RL17 (55.3 gr) in a case that size. Just saying...

    As in RCC or something like the Blackwater design?

    New Sig CROSS

    Thanks.... Very good info ( I don't have access to OL ) I agree with your numbers, but do we really know how the common powders, like Reloader 15, will react with regards to changes in burn rate, (pressure spikes) from the added heat and pressure of running at the elevated 80 Kpsi levels? I...

    New Sig CROSS

    Yes and no. Maximum pressure in a rifle barrel happens within a several inches after the bullet leaves the cartridge and where it happens depends on the burn rate of the powder. All of the powder is still not totally burned at that point. Ideally all the powder should have expended all its...

    New Sig CROSS

    Good eye! I didn't notice that. But during production a short action .532" bolt head with a few changes in the receiver could easily work for a future short magnum cartridge. Now will it be a user friendly interchangeable design...? :unsure:

    If you mean 270 & 280's.... yes :p But then again, you already knew that!:LOL:

    New Sig CROSS

    The success of this and all of the new Hp cartridges will be on SAAMI and CIP willingness to establishing an industry wide pressure limit spec for actions and barrels that will use these Hp cartridges. Just like when the +P & +P+ gun cartridges came out years ago. The manufacture will have to...

    New Sig CROSS

    Think about this... Will a 156gr Berger fit in a AICS mag with the 6.5 PRC SAAMI .188" freebore?? The answer is no, unless you dial in a whole lot of jump like .1+ inches .

    New Sig CROSS

    "If they build it they will come".... Just because there isn't too many bullet offerings now doesn't mean there won't be a lot more in the future. The problem as you noted is really all about the AICS max mag length. With a .150"ish freebore the Berger 170 has a decent .655 G1 BC and will...

    The new 33XC & 37XC cartridges designed by David Tubb

    Correct me if I'm wrong....So, it would seem that the best popular actions/rifle for the 33XC or 37XC builds would be Surgeon, Stiller or AIMC due to tenon/barrel thread vs lug size? Of course any of these will need to be single fed and live round extraction would require pulling the bolt. But...

    .300 PRC vs .338 LM for 1500-2500 yards

    If you plan to shoot out of a Lapua length CIP magazine then shooting a 300 PRC or 300NM are your only logical choices. To shoot the high BC 338 bullets from the Lapua case to their max potential requires a COAL of over 4". IMO-If you are serious about shooting out to 2500 yards then consider...

    Q side chick chassis. Sold

    I already have one that will be built up as a 6.5 Saum.... Yes, it is very light!! Couple things I noticed that I had issues with. 1) Butt pad or lack of.... Easy fix . 2) Hinge interferes with resting your thumb on the right side due to the stock angle of AR grip. A more vertical grip...
