Pics are a little dark best I could do with my phone. I ran to a friends house and attached the muzzle brakes. I'm a little annoyed that the brake on the bolt gun is a little off time but it's too late to correct that. Doubt it is enough to cause problems. The brake adds to the SBR's short...

I'm looking for dimensions for 2 brakes. The AAC 51T and TBAC 30BA. These are the 2 front runners for possible suppressors. I've got an 8.2" 300 BLK barrel and am debating between a 7" and 9" rail. I've already purchased a 7" Seekins BAR but I have the chance to change it provided I get the...

I'm building a 300 Blackout SBR and am playing with the idea of tucking the can in the rail 1 inch or so. I need it to mount to a muzzle device without the use of tools. I was looking at the AAC SDN-6 but I have reservations about the accuracy and removal when tucked under the rail. I have a...

I have had my chronograph for a while now and my wallet has instructed me to play with pistol for a while. I want to build some ammo to match my defensive loads for power. Would have never attempted this without the chrono. I'm assuming that I can't just go off pressure signs on the brass so...

I'm prepping brass for my buddies LR308. We already loaded up some ammo and shot it with great results. We bumped the shoulder back .003 on that batch. NOTE: We are body sizing and then neck sizing since we already have those dies for my bolt gun. I went to body size this time and none of...

I understand testing subsonic loads without a can because of possible strikes. However, does this apply to muzzle brakes as well? I plan on building a sub load and am curious as to the potential hazard.

Looking for my first can and think I have narrowed it down to a Thunder Beast. The primary rifle it will be used on is a 308 bolt gun. If possible, I may like to use it on a 5.56 AR. I would like to have a brake on both rifles when not using the can although I'm willing to do direct thread on...

I need mags with enough space for an OAL of 2.940. I tried Alpha type 2's, but they didn't agree with my rifle. I have an Accurate-Mag that my buddy is letting me look at. It agrees with my rifle better, but it has the front plate. I looked on their website and they list a 300 WSM mag...

Been loading ammo for a while now, mostly neck sizing 308. I have finally spotted some interesting things on my .223 brass. I would like someone with experience to give me their opinion on whether this is impending doom or not. Remington brass 2x fired. Both times were during load development...

Just noticed that if I trickle up to a target weight and then tap the scale to cause it to swing, it will come to a rest reading .1 grains higher than when I trickled. This is perfectly repeatable. What is up? Is this typical?

Bought a box of 100 bullets to build a load, ran out and ordered a box of 500. Measured the ogive to the base of the bullets with a Hornady comp and the new box of 500 is .010 longer with a variance of about .003 in both the old and new. Is this typical? Would that change my pressure levels?

I just got my 110 BA Bolt handle that I'm going to install on my Savage 10 FCP-K. Now that I have the bolt apart, I'm getting ready to polish it. My question is, would it do any good or any harm to polish the part of the locking lugs that directly contacts the bolt raceways? I'm not talking...

Trying to seat Remington 9.5's into virgin Winchester brass with my Hornady AP. Priming is an absolute nightmare. Can't get the primers to seat far enough if flush at all. The press is working correctly, plenty of travel left in the primer ram, shell plate is tight and sub plate isn't...

Now what do I do with this info? I was curious as to the length of my .308 Savage's chamber. And rather than buy a tool, I made one. I took a piece of fire formed brass and neck sized it just enough to hold a bullet. Kinda the same way that you would in order to find the lands. I then cut...

I'm setting up to purchase the SWFA SS 5-20x50 on black friday for my FCP-K and I want to purchase rings and a 20moa 1 piece base at the same time to bundle shipping. Since I won't have the scope to measure, I need to ask anyone that has a Savage 10 FCP-K with the same scope, what base and ring...

Help inform this newbie on parallax adjustment. Specifically, why do a lot of optics skip certain ranges in adjustment? I have noticed optics that list parallax settings in an order such as, 75-100-150-200-300-500-600-700-infinity. It skips the 400 yard setting and the progression has no...
