    Am I just trash with an AR?

    I know I'm replying to an irrelevant post of yours, but I wanted to offer my .02 man (which is probably worthless). ** Short of an equipment issue: We used to have - and still might have - a couple members on here who were legit distinguished marksman in the branches of service. Those dudes...

    Anyone Here Use McMillan A-6 For A 26" Match Contoured Action?

    I use several A5s and A4s. I like the feel of them more than a chassis myself. However, the adjustability of most chassis is superior. An A6 will serve you well. Go with the 3-way adjustable butt if you are worried more about fit. I've gone there and back, and just order the standard 1"...

    My 7-300 PRC Project

    I definitely really don't know what "the" speed powder is for the 300, and in this case the 7-300 PRCs are. I don't really play with any magnums because I don't have the room for them out here. On Vihtavouri's website, it shows that N570 gives a bit of a boost over N568 by about 30-80 FPS. I...

    6gt

    I made a shortened and improved 6GT AI case once too while seating a bullet. Turned out that the Hornady seating die instructions were just a touch different than the Redding ones. I really hate having 199 cases.

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    Well F-me running. I guess I got a little trigger happy on buying my 4-32 (was on EV, and ever saw the 2.5-20 listed with this option). Guess I should have done the obvious and checked the manufacturer website too. I don't think I'd change my mind...but I'd have bought this ^ to go on a 6.5...

    6Mm GT load. Any help appreciated.

    Virgin Alpha brass is going to shoot very tight ES/SDs as long as your powder charges are consistent. Virgin Alpha brass really only needs a chamfer and maybe a debur before it gets loaded. I do go the extra step to mandrel to .002 under, but it really isn't necessary and just gives me a warm...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    I have both an ATACR as well as an NX8, but both are different models than the ones in question. I did get the NX8 to go on a hunting/critter killing rifle. I also went with the Mil-CF2D reticle (SFP, but has subtensions that mil correctly at 32x and 16x). At 16x, it is very much like looking...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    The ATACR will have a more usable magnification range and better glass. That'd do it for me.

    My 7-300 PRC Project

    TLDR: I've been screwing around with a new rifle. Seriously, if you don't like reading the ramblings about someone experimenting with a bit of a wildcat - might want to save yourself the time here. I've started down the path to putting together my own hobby-level ELR/long range hunting/just...

    Lone peak actions.

    Unless the gunsmith was told otherwise, I'm assuming that the OP was looking for benchrest accuracy. That would explain the copied and pasted part of the response that said "Their shit is generally junk if you want benchrest accuracy consistently." I've never heard of the guy, but that doesn't...

    NICS delay

    I got my first delay last year, and have now been delayed three more times. Each time, it went through within 30 - 90 minutes... but since I live 32 miles away from the FFL, it is a PITA. Was hoping it would go away with the current administration. Nope. 0 for 2 so far.

    300y ladder with 223/80.5 Berger/N540

    .223 is probably one of the more difficult cartridges to get tight ES/SD on (which still seems to defy logic). With a sample size of (1) and no idea what your ES/SD are going to be... it is going to be really difficult to accurately explain your velocity phenomenon for the first nine shots...

    MEMORIAL DAY 2025

    I was fortunate to be able to deliver the Memorial Day sermon at our church today. Very humbling. I read the names of the men I served with who didn't make it back at the end.
