    Help me pick a Creedmoor

    Sako TRG Sako S20 Tikka T3 All 3 have chrome moly hammer forged barrels that are accurate and stay that way for a long time. The 142 SMKs shoot very well as do the 153.5 Bergers. The Bergers were very consistent at 1000 yds in moderate (6-10mph) wind. Load shown below is 42.2gr N555

    Accuracy International AXSR's are HERE!!

    It is orderable, one of the key dimensions you must provide is the distance between the top of the barrel to the ARCA Swiss dovetail. For my rifle it was 1.3'.

    Accuracy International AXSR's are HERE!!

    Wanting to take advantage of the ARCA Swiss dovetail on my AXSR, I finally received the ARCA Swiss mount from Dale Poling for his Elite Iron Bipod. The mount is designed to interface with AREA 419 ARCA Swiss Clamp. The adapter has the same interface as BT Atlas Bipod no clamp version. Having...

    AI AX vs Barrett MRAD: Which is better and why?

    You only get one shot at this, so make it worthwhile. Either choice is a good one. I chose AI for personal reasons, much like choosing a reticle, it has to fulfill your requirements.

    g26 blew up on my hand today

    Glocks barrels have polygonal rifling in their barrel. Plated bullets are not recommended for use in them and may have contributed to the pressure issue you experienced. Something to consider.

    Seeking to avoid your "Reload Rookie" mistakes ...

    Pick an easy caliber to reload. .308 or 6.5 cm, start there. Invest in a good quality set of standard dies, then later the more nuanced full length size bushing dies can be introduced.

    .308win powder choices

    ++IMR 4064 & RE15, AR-COMP & N540 work well. 175 SMK, very jump tolerant, shoots great from my M-24. I get lower SD/ES using BR-2 primers.

    300 PRC update

    I shoot this bullet often (#2251), very consistent and good value for banging steel out to a mile. I seat them to a 2.825" CBTO which gives a me a .155" jump and still allows feeding from a magazine. These are very pointy bullets, so I use a Hornady Match seating die and A-Tip stem. For my...

    11.5" SBRs

    I own both types of systems and while each has its own merits, it comes down to personal choice. I hate cleaning guns, therefore, the piston design is my choice. Both will get dirty when suppressed, however, the piston design will always run longer simply because it's not cooking off the lube...
