I second. Nothing but good things to say to my SRS platforms.

Will do. Got the Conversion a few years back, never had a lot of time to put it through its paces until recently. Played with a bunch of lots of ammo and had some failures to ignite in all of them. The bolt was new DT stock with SAC's conversion, so best I can tell, the barrel and his bits...

Good to know; figured it was me. Mark at SAC has offered to change the spring, though I’m likely to just play with it myself, no issues there. You start fiddling with things and you will keep fiddling till it works; that’s the game in aftermarket and niche things. I’ll say that it shoots like...

Love it. Anyone else with a 223 from SAC note light primer strikes? Cant tell if it’s just me, or if I need to get a stronger firing pin spring.

Aye... I'm all ears as well. If I'm gonna reload big magnums, may as well go BIG.

That’s wild man. I was chin scratching how far you could push the SRS into HTI territory. 37XC is impressive. I’m presuming you’re single-feeding these?

Thanks guys; I’m not married to a particular powder, just haven’t tried the 338LM loading because can’t find primers. I ordered a few thousand rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor when I found that factory loads worked very well, and Still have a bunch Of CCI larger rifle primers leftover from 308 loading...

Alright, this is a dumb question, but: Where the heck are y’all finding 338LM primers and powder. Any of y’all playing with custom reamers gotta have a source. I got plenty of once fired brass. I can find projectiles. I can’t find a reliable source for primers or powder to get into bigger...

Agree with above. Video of running the bolt, but generally, SRS likes a hard bolt throw.

Love it; where’d ya get it?!?

100%. I did enough statistics in college and medical school and residency to do those. Haven’t in… 20 years. If I want to do some original research, first stop is statistics department for help. Where they’ll turn a half hatched thought into a viable question. I haven’t published since 2007 or...

Less DT, more just “wow, this is precise.” Running Factory Hornady 338LM 270gr Hunting ELDX rounds through the Factory DT conversion to obliterate Clementines and small apples at 250yds (farthest any local range goes). Finally grabbed a Garmin Xero Chronograph to check my prior estimated dope...

Jonathan Haidt; "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion." If you want a good understanding of why some people just won't get along, dudes got a point.

Stock 26”. Ran the 140gr Norma’s and 143gr Hornady ELDX, factory 26” was 2750, Proof Research 16” was 2550. Good SD and ES, dead nuts accurate. I’ll run the hand loads through the 16” and see if it tracks. Trying to replicate velocities between the 16” and 26” at various loads (same Dope).

So, reloading… 6.5 Creedmoor, finally got the Garmin Chrono. I had settled on 44.4g of Staball behind a 140gr SMK BTHP on Federal Primer. Finally got a chrono on it today. 2900FPS. 150FPS faster than the factory Norma or Hornady. No pressure signs. SD of 7, ES of 14. That’s some oomph out...

Cut out trash. No sugar. Minimize carbs and breads. Meat and veg and fruits.

Built a fast twist suppressed subsonic off the action. Can’t remember the barrel-smith, but was an aluminum sleeved barrel. Threw a can on the front. Not quite MOA with the Aguilla 60gr SSS rounds, but close. Absolutely the kids favorite rifle. Toggle bolt, no recoil, quieter than a red Ryder...

Quick Q: who was the guy selling carbon fiber handguards? I can’t find the post now, but saw them in the sale section a few days back.

They’re great platforms. Nice deer!

Echo all the comments. Factory are quite good. So are Proof Carbon. Frankly, they’re all shooters.
