So broke down and bought my first AR10 last Friday. Buddy who has a local shop had been trying to talk me into this gun for a couple weeks and needed it sold--so he finally made me a deal I couldn't pass up. So proud owner of a super sexy 20" fluted Patriot Brown gas gun. Had fun this...

Snuck out early Easter morning to take the new Hospitaller for a test drive. Beautiful day at the range, solitary with the road closed and having to presently hike in. Gun performed flawlessly with a couple of my old standard go-to loads. Was trying out a new F/TR sled style bipod same...

I got a few of these to try out and was wondering now that they have been out a while if anyone has done much load development. Close to the 175 SMK or 178 Amax? The COAL and ogive is longer than the Amax in the couple guns I have measured, bullet appears to sit much further out freeing up...

Shooting a new to me 308 today I had pressure signs arise mid-session while gun was warm and then went away when cool--with all ammo. So gun is new to me. Heavy Krieger barrel, less than 850 rounds through the tube. Giving a general shake down, so was shooting a few different brands of...

So my 260 Hospitaller has proven the most picky gun I have loaded for in quite some time. It hated 140 Amax's--period. With 140 Berger Hybrid's it has shot really nice with a couple loads. I have worked up a good shooting load with 42.9 gr of H4350 that clocks right at 2800 fps, and upon...

So the other night I wrote about how "Santa Must be F'ed Up--Came Early With Surgeon/GAP" and thought I would update with a range report. About as giddy with a new gun as I've been in quite some time. Having worked at a gun shop from middle school all the way through college I became a...

Thanks in advance for any helpful input, but not looking for debate over what brass, boolits or powder, just hoping for insight from someone with specific experience with the above combination. Found a good load in H4350 and the Bergers, and my 260 appears crazy and hates Amax 140's, so saving...

As I was trying to work up a load with my new-to-me 260 Hospitaller, I went mainstream and started with H4350 and 140 Amax's. Did a ladder at 500 looking for node between 41.5 and 43.3 grains. I also loaded a couple dozen with 42.5 grains to foul the barrel, zero, and simply play. I, and the...

So tonight I was excitedly getting ready to take my 260 Hospitaller for our first trip to the range. Just received my modified case to check proper ogive and COAL, and had also received some Lapua brass, along with 140 Berger and A-max projectiles. All seemed perfect until I opened the...

Since it's been a year since these made appearances after Shot 2013, wanted to hear from folks with hands on experience. Pro's, con's, whatever. Tried searching the heavens -- ie google, but all I find are annoucents about their shotgun AR. Thanks, Will

Anyone with a 308 Crusader willing to share their COAL and Ogive for a particular projectile? Just picked up a Crusader with under 40 rounds fired. Doing my typical look over shakedown, I was measuring COAL and ogive to load up a few fun/fouling rounds and begin working a load when I noticed...

So I want a dead nuts accurate bolt gun in 223/5.56 to compliment plinking with my AR's and more extended range fun on paper and/or varmints. I have a stainless Remington fluted 223 now thats set into a McMillan stock, but its a 1-12 twist. Does great with 45-50 grain, but falls off pretty...

Go to Kenai Peninsula Bears and look at video posted today. This has been a bumper crop of bears here on the Kenai. We have had a fairly good size sow and her two delinquent cubs raising hell in our little neighborhood this week. We are in a corridor where they travel back and forth from...

So after I decided I didn't use my Lapua enough and decided to part with it, I talked myself into another one. Second hand, said to be unfired, but have some doubt. Looking at bolt/break/bottom metal, certainly looks hardly used, but do not like the 3.65" mag length. Miss the seekins bottom...

So I am getting tooled up to load for my new 6.5x47 Lapua and have a quick question. Tried looking and search and didn't find an answer, so relying on you good folks. So I understand I can use #3 rcbs shelholder but that as a large hole for primers, will I run into problems when I try to...

Dealer just to a couple in and giving serious consideration to one. Seems very high quality, trigger feels awesome, just not that familiar with them. Any hands on input greatly appreciated. Will

Wool undies or banana hammock? I was looking down the list of threads over past many days, all legit with firearm/shooting/weapon related content, however slight. Then we have two threads about Subaru and VW. I'm sorry, and to the op's, no offense, but aren't those questions better posed to...

So I'm almost 120 rounds into my GAP 338 Lapua. I am a title concerned by the amount of stretch marks (shiny ring) I get at the junction of the case head/web. It's my first Lapua so nothing to compare it to until a guy at the range had a new Barrett shooting some Remington factory 250 Scenars...

I am considering another 308 and leaning towards a Crusader. I have seen a few second hand guns that have the previous GAP7000 actions which I believe GAP no longer uses with their new Defiance made Templar actions. I read a few things about Lawton not being the same anymore, but assume they...

So i just picked up a sweet little mint HS Precision VP (their rendition of Remington's XP-100) that has a heavy 15" fluted barrel. Confirmed with HS this morning that it is a 1 in 10" twist. I have read that 10" twist should be good to 100gr or so for falt base, 90gr or so for a more VLD type...
