    Official MDT 6BR Magazine Thread

    I have the 10rd new production 6mmbr mag and I trimmed the legs of the follower it helped some but it also seems like the new steel bodies bulge too.

    Hunting & Fishing Fly rod help

    4wt 8'6" is a good pick for the brushy creeks and high mountain valleys steams you are on the right track. Even though the different between 9'and 8'6" doesn't seem like much it way more maneuverable and the 4 wt will punch the wind that is always in the mountains way better then something like...

    .223 ai reamer for heavies

    Isn't a lot of choices on 223AI dies so you just have to fix it and your set. I run the same sizing die.

    .223 ai reamer for heavies

    You got it. Only other thing is the redding dies are cut to the incorrect head space for a correctly head spaced ackley chamber which is -.004 (223 gage ) for go and a standard "go" becomes the no go. So the redding may not bump the shoulders back. One of two ways to fix this is to take a little...

    223 ackley improved Redding dies

    I had the same problem with my redding ackley dies. My solution was to thin the shell holder on a diamond stone until i got bump back of the shoulder. When I chambered that barrel I use JGS reamer and ackley go gage and a 223 go gage as the no go so I am at the tighter end of head space. The...

    Accuracy International 223 conversion working

    I would say $1200 for just action conversion parts it would have to run better than in your video of the barricade.

    Accuracy International 223 conversion working

    Two questions I have are does it feed better or worse with the 80gr ish loads and second is the cost of the conversion. I think the cost would play into the expectations of the user. IF it cost $150 plus the barrel then a little feeding issues may be acceptable if the kit comes in at like $500...
