Thanks for reply. I hadnt really looked on SH but Im on it now!

Hello; I just started working on some new loads for my Seekins Havak Element in 6.5 PRC with the Berger 156gr EOL bullet Starting loads where determined using Quickload 3.9. COAL at 3.055". Trimmed to 2.015" CCI-200 primer. At this time i was just looking at measured velocities and checking...

Hello; I had Western Precision in Safford AZ extend the chamber I’m my rifle to allow for a new COAL of about 0.25 inches longer to allow the 195 gr to sit out of the case longer. I use 70.6gr of Retumbo with a velocity of 2,950. This is an extremely accurate and hard hitting round. PM if...

Thanks for the info guys!! What time should I plan on being at the range??

Would like to make the July 20th match but will be out of town. When is the next rifle match after that?? Thanks!!

I am sorry for your loss. I too had to transfer my fathers MG's to myself when he passed. Use the ATF Form 5. They processed two of my forms in 3 weeks. http://www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-5320-5.pdf Check the third box down on the upper right hand side "Firearm is being transfer...

My FA 9mm Colt SMG runs great suppressed using a specific 9mm buffer. It is heavier than an AR15 H3 buffer. Look for a buffer specific for 9mm.

Thanks cwinner for the info. I shot at both ranges last June in the Score High Tactical Challenge. I loved the ranges and wanted to go back sooner but work crept in ;o). Ill be back at the Zia range in April for the NM Precision Riflemans Competition. Hopefully I can make it back up later...

Is there ever an issue with too many shooters. Id be driving in from Las Cruces and want to make sure I get to shoot! Thanks!

I have both Larue and ADM QD mounts. I like that the ADM can be adjusted without tools. Both work great and have a solid mount to the rail. With that said, the Larue is $100 +/- more in cost and I dont see that it is worth it. My last two QD mounts are ADM.

+1 for SLR. It rocks!

I built a 308 carbine using a Mega Arms upper/lower and a DPMS 16" barrel. I had the same issue with the gun being over gassed. Combinations of springs and buffers helped a little but did not solve the problem. I then installed a SLR adjustable clamp on gas block DA7 Adjustable Gas Block and...

I use VLTOR low profile gas blocks on all my AR's. I have not found a free floating tube they wont fit under and they seem to manufacture them with a larger gas port area on the barrel side. To my understanding, clamp on is a better system as it distributes the clamp stress uniformly around...

I'm currently working up a load for my 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun. I'm starting with 130gr VLD's and H4350 powder. Ive noticed that most people are using Federal 210 match primers with some loads using CCI 200 primers. Has anyone tried CCI 34 primers successfully? Thanks

My RRA SBR with 10.5" barrel came with a standard CAR spring but an H3 buffer. It seems to feed just fine with everything from Wolf 55gr to my handloads with 77gr SMK.

Im in the final stages of completing an AR-10 build constructed specifically for the 6.5 Creedmoor. Along with the new rifle, I will be handloading the ammunition for this gun. From my research (alot here on SH), I have narrowed my bullet selection down to the following: Hornady 123 gr SST...

Here is my data from my AR-15 rifle set up as a MK-12 clone....18" barrel with 1:8 twist. Data from an elevation of 3900', temp at 70 deg F, humidity at 18%, pressure at 29.94. LC brass trimmed to 1.750" and CCI 41 primers. Using 77 gr SMK and a COAL of 2.260". My most accurate load is 25.6 gr...

^^^^^ Using Federal brass with CCI 200 primers.

For my Savage 10PC with a 20" barrel, Im using 40.8gr of 8208XBR to fire the 175 SMK at an average of 2,606 fps. This is at an elevation of 3900 ft, 85 degrees F and a humidity of 29.98. Hope this helps
