    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    You know, Are we talking .x as in inches or .x as in .1 mil? I thought we were in mils, yeah, bull if inches. So 1.08-1.44" is "doable"

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    Of course barring the wind with that number. Ammunition is a big part in these as you know. Although Center X isn't the top shelf, nor the bottom, it does have some fliers here and there. I have some 100 yard targets to where I tracked the velocities and normally I'm in the 1085-1095 range...

    Customer Accuracy Expectations

    If we are getting into a "custom" build, I would expect the gun to shoot .3 or less at 50 and .4/.3 at 100 once tuned with the chosen ammunition. I'm guessing a customer isn't happy? Older V22 with ACE barrel, not considered to be a "custom" to me anyhow. Bipod front, bag rear from bench. Tuned...

    How Do You Measure Second Stage of 2-Stage Trigger

    Yup, I had it mixed up, just did the SSA--tks!

    KRG Bravo Finger Bite

    I would do as suggested above by taking a file, etc. to break the edge off, follow up with some Triactin if experiencing any post use discomfort.

    How Do You Measure Second Stage of 2-Stage Trigger

    I need to try this, remember the first stage while be heavier meaning the gauge will read that and trip the second stage without changing the reading. I would say support the gun, set the gauge to "0" manually pull the first stage, hold and set gauge on trigger and pull for reading. Never tried...

    300y ladder with 223/80.5 Berger/N540

    I would go at least 200, depending on mirage, etc, 300 starts to get tricky, maybe hit it early in the day. Do one each low to high, then reverse, finishing with low to high. Try to give a minute in between shots on each run and 5 between each run.

    300y ladder with 223/80.5 Berger/N540

    My only suggestion is on shot count, I like to have 2, usually 3 of each to have a better sample. Call shots and while it's not the "Bro 5" 3 gives you more data, group and chrono data.

    6 ARC Longevity

    Interesting, my guess is that the industry will end up with two "platforms" as there's so much out here currently. I would hope that it will be one as it would make buying easier for most.

    What materials?

    6 ARC Longevity

    I'm certain it would, just like anything I've shot with .300, 6.5G, 6.8, etc, they all died the same. Great to have a "mainstream" caliber, one that's actually adopted.

    6 ARC Longevity

    Is the industry moving to that as a standard? That's what is keeping me in the short term wait game?

    Ultrasonic cleaners

    What worked for me on the suppressors, trial and error. Small Hornady US cleaner, tall glass jar, water in tank, water in jar to nearly cover suppressor, rubber plug in suppressor end cap and suppressor filled with CLR. Remove the mount/adapter, etc. I ran 3 cycles of about 20 minutes, water...

    6.5 CM Ammo

    I would say pick up 100 rounds each, maybe add a 130 grain. Shoot multiple days, see what performs the best, then buy a bunch if not reloading. Within reason if you can find a "budget" round for short/med range positional training, that's a plus. Limit the choice to 2-3 types on the long range...
