    Suppressors Crux/Templar Tactical Brake

    Anybody know who might have a brake mount laying around? I know Crux is done... just seeing if anybody has a 1/2X28 mount that I could use on an AR. Thanks, CJ97

    Ocw evaluation.

    A commercial hand loader told me years ago to pay close attention to the charge weight after you see a string. All of your groups around 43.4 are at 10-11 o'clock. I would stay there and get some groups out to 500 yards or so. Also need to start chronographing your shots.

    Back to the 338 LM.

    I tried the 285 AMAX a few years back, but ended up staying with the 300 Berger because I couldn't get the speed others were getting. I think 2,800 was max with Retumbo, and I was getting 2,800 with the Bergers. I have RL33 and RL26 on hand, and will probably go with one of those.

    Back to the 338 LM.

    It shoots well. I've spent a fair amount of time shooting out to 2,000 yards with the 230 Hybrids and the 198 Flatlines. There's nothing wrong with the NM, just switching things up.

    Back to the 338 LM.

    This is a factory AI AX barrel 27", 1.935 twist.

    Back to the 338 LM.

    I got a couple hundred of the Midway bulk packed .338 Lapua brass this week, (Too good of a deal to pass up) so I think I will take off the .300 NM barrel and put the LM barrel back on. It's been a while since I've shot the .338. I need to get some bullets and am not sure what direction to go...

    New Hornady A tip

    I’ve got 100 back ordered on Midway. We’ll see how it goes. I’m on the Texas coast so low temps are not the norm.

    New Hornady A tip

    Wonder if the 250s will stabilize in my 9 twist 300NM? I’m only 40 feet above sea level.

    Range Report 300 Norma Barrel length help

    I get 2930 in a 26" Broughton 9.5 Twist. That's burning 90 grains of RL33 under a 230. Pressure shows up quickly after that.

    Range Report Any data on the FGMM in 6mm creedmoor

    I shot most of a box yesterday. The first five shots at 100 yards were .1 mil high and .1 mil left of my zero for the 115 DTAC. That five shot group including the cold bore measured .29" and looked like they were going through the same hole. I shot one three shot group at 310 yards that...

    230 Hybrid or 215?

    The PMII is outstanding, and I'm sure if I was willing to buy an extra trickler plate from Bran, I could modify it to run RL33. I Still have my Redding thrower and trickler set up, so I just dedicated that to 33. I'm not loading hundreds of rounds for the 300NM. I think RL 33 is a little...

    Range Report Any data on the FGMM in 6mm creedmoor

    I’ve two boxes to try. Hopefully get to shoot this weekend

    230 Hybrid or 215?

    I originally tried Retumbo, but ran into pressure trying to get to 2950. I think the jug that I have is hot as I had similar problems with .338 LM. I’m using RL 33, but I may try something else when I’m out as it will not meter in the Prometheus.

    230 Hybrid or 215?

    Barrel is a 9 twist. I think that is supposed to handle just about all the heavy .30 cal bullets. I may try to just get a few 215s and see how fast I can get them going.

    230 Hybrid or 215?

    I asked over in the Reloading Depot, But maybe this is a better place... I'm wondering about bullets for the 300 Norma Mag. I'm about out of 230 Hybrids and need to buy some more. The 230s have performed well, but it seems like I have seen somewhere that the 215s were better. Does anybody have...

    300 Norma Mag

    I'm about out of 230 Hybrids and need to buy some more. The 230s have performed well, but it seems like I have seen somewhere that the 215s were better. Does anybody have any data or experience with both? This is an AI AX with a 26" Broughton barrel. I'm just shooting steel at 1,500-2,000...

    ELR bullet recovery

    I was thinking something like this as well. If Hornady changed their tips because they were melting in flight, it makes sense that the copper jacket could get hot enough to burn off some of the impurities. I have recovered several bullets from out past 1,500 yards, but none looked that...

    So my GAP 6.5Creedmoor is out shooting my AXMC 338Lapua at distance... Update! (bottom of page 2)

    I would expect .5 MOA out of the AXMC and no less. Take the barrel off, clean it well, and re-torque to 55 inch/lbs. When screwing the barrel on, make sure you put the rifle between your knees and hand tighten it as tight as you can. Also remember that a big magnum is going to heat up much...
