    Is this mandrel toast

    Expanded a bunch of new cases without lube (I’ve only done it as part of a resizing process where everything has lube on it, not on its own with new cases. Lesson learned) and now the mandrel has burrs/gouges in it. Keep on using it or replace it?

    Weights for MDT ACC?

    I have a pretty standard 26" MTU profile barreled action with a Gen 2 Razor on top. I want to buy and put it in an MDT ACC and have it balance properly, but not add weight for the sake of adding weight. I'd be happy if the whole thing ended up under 20 pounds. What/how many weights should I...

    MDT ACC weights?

    I'm planning on buying an MDT ACC for my barreled action with a 26" MTU barrel (it'll have a Gen2 Razor and CAL bipod as well). I don't want to intentionally over load it with weights and make a 30 pound rifle, but I assume I'll need some to balance it properly. From all the picture research I...

    Need advice re: hernia

    I have an inguinal hernia. It doesn't bother me but I can tell its there. I like to lift and since I learned I had it I initially put off squatting/dead lifting but the surgeon said in my follow up visit that as long as it doesn't hurt, go for it. I squatted yesterday and I can still 'feel'...

    Does neck tension increase over time?

    I chronoed some of my reloads I’ve had sitting for about 3 months and they were 10fps today faster today than they were when I chronoed them in the summer (it was 40° cooler today). This is also 40fps faster than the last time I chronoed them in the temp it was today. The SD went from a...

    Analyze my shooting (video)

    Took a short video of me shooting a five shot group this morning, looking for any feed back, don't be shy. Things I see: - I lightly tap the trigger a few times before I settle into position, I assume I'm trying to perfect the placement, but once I find it I think my follow through is good...

    CMMG Valkyrie?

    Anyone have any thing good, bad or otherwise to say about CMMG’s 224 valk uppers/rifles/barrels? I’m not looking to spend craddock money but don’t want a 2” gun either. Will probably just be shooting factory ammo at steel to 700 yards for fun (yes I know a 223 will do that too but I’m itching...

    Brass looks funny

    Can someone explain what’s going on here with the obvious differences in brass discoloration after being fired, and if it’s anything to be concerned about: I have once fired (in my rifle) Prime 223 brass, resized with a Redding non bushing die, bumped .004. These reloads are 26.0 through 27.5...

    Single round sled for AI rifle

    Is there a single round sled for a factory AI AT rifle (NOT the chassis). I emailed bobsled about a month to see if theirs works, which based on the description I doubt, and still haven’t heard back. Google searches aren’t giving me any results, but I find it hard to believe no one makes it...

    308/learning/training/barrels etc

    I’m relatively new to this game but I bought once and cried once when I bought my AI AT. It came with the standard 24” 1:12 non threaded barrel, it’s pretty accurate, during my first 200 rounds through it I did a 5x5 with an average of .5 MOA. Then I started reading and realized I “needed” a...

    Bullets for new barrel

    I have a new 6.5CM barrel for my AI. How does one balance buying enough bullets to last the life time of the barrel vs finding something your barrel likes? I'd hate to buy 2k bullets only to find it shoots them like crap and waste time trying to make something work.
