@diggler1833 @kthomas my only issue with just blaming position is he said it only happens from 8-1130am. If he's hitting after that it sounds more like an environmental consideration he's not accounting for. Possible it's a combo but the timeframe leads me to environmental.

Would have been interesting to have you pull the ejector and slip a case under the extractor and then chamber the round. If your rim is getting chewed up I wonder if something is caught under the spring or it's not able to pivot. This test would have isolated testing the extractor.

1) try a different bullet. Shot 130gr eldm bullets in my 6.5x47 extreamly well but fell apart at 700 and further. Some just don't want to work in some guns 2) are you loading the bipod consistently? That could effect your elevation even with everything else being perfect. 3) you said between...

I like the Riflespeed one. With how far back the GB is in the rail I dont think any of the others would work unless I milled a slot to access the switch. Even with the Riflespeed to be ideal I'd probably need like an 11.5" barrel to have a little sticking out of the rail before I hit the back of...

Ahhh yea I could see a 1/5 doing it

@JR1200W3 that was my issue also. You could go with a switch gas block but as far as I know none allow you to tune each setting like would be needed. Edit to your first post: I have a 1/7 and didn't over spin a 125 at 2100fps. If you over spin them you'll know lol. I've had 55s come apart and...

I haven't dug too far into looking but a gas block with a "suppressed" and "normal" mode with each position being adjustable would solve the issue. You could tune the suppressed setting for subs and normal setting for supers and at the flip of the gas block switch (like the Noveske type) you...

@USK308 yea the Hornady black 208 is the most anemic subsonic loading I've tried to date. I'm not sure the powder they use but I really want to know if that same bullet runs better out of a longer barrel. Oddly enough the AAC 220gr subsonic loads PSA manufactures shot really really well and...

Circling back to this for anyone ever searching. Messed with a1680 and got a load that worked but it is incredibly dirty. 11.5gr under a 220gr was giving me 1150ish so I dropped it and picked up some h110 that had a better burn percentage at the charge weights. Below are the results with a...

Ha! I had 215 as my first tempest. FP protrusion isn't anything magical since it has to be standard across the board here. 0.055" is they average but it could go as low as .040 and as high as .065. Since the rifle is so "old" you may need a new FP spring if both protrusions check out fine. You...

not sure what harm it could do but I'm no expert in that field. I would, publicly or privately, love to see any pictures of the scope I have on a rifle if you have them. I think many others would as well.

The earlier versions there were reports of the tempest having a problem lighting off cci primers. I had a early gen 1 and a gen 2 tempest and ran cci exclusively without a single FTF. If you are still getting ftfs with that protrusion (you can go more but it will have stiffer bolt lift) id look...

Pin protrusion out of the back of the bolt shroud should be as close to .183 as possible. That's the ideal protrusion.

Yea I gotta say I wasn't expecting the amount of great info I've gotten in here haha. I'm just a little east of Raleigh NC. Good amount of steel challenge and uspsa matches with a few idpa sprinkled here and there.

@Skunk got some sentimental value to you?

Idk if you are looking for more info but I have 1435. I'm not the original purchaser. Came with the A3 badger mounts and no USO mod.

But youtube tells me the gun is the only thing that matters? 🤣 I appreciate the advice from all of you. Good to know the m&p compact is on the list also. I'm going to try to refrain from purchasing before getting a match or 2 under my belt. I shoot my shield probably the best of any gun I own...

I realize there are better forums for this but figured I'd start here. Looking to up my pistol game and get into IDPA and some USPSA matches around me. Rules wise I think it's straight forward but I want to ask here and get opinions on my potential gun selection. I'm looking to likely pick up...

Having owned and competed with both.... The rear support is a wash but the rear on the A6 is more comfortable because you can fine tune it to your face/body. The A5 has more heft and settled until bags better but was a bit tippy with how top heavy it can be. The A6 settled on a bag just fine...

Got out today to test the new barrel. We've made progress. I'm not satisfied but I feel like we are no longer having barrel issues and this thing just needs to get some rigidity to it. Gotta talk to LRI and see if they are willing to put the Kidd tang on this thing and then I'll do the front...
