    Bartlein Barrels Update

    Here is our 30 round test through a Bartlein .30 barrel 1/10 1/11.25 twist shooting .308 175 handloads. This was our verification group to verify our load was good. I shot 3 10 round groups for a total 30 round string. Here are the group sizes, the last one made it a bit larger than it may have...

    Bare Minimum Gear for First PRS Match?

    You don't really need a lot of gear to have fun at a PRS match. Show up with a good attitude and try to use what you have. What you already have sounds good - maybe some bag that is mid size is going to be good for both rear/front rest. Try to attend a 1 day club PRS match since it will be...

    Powder humidity changes inside loaded cartridges

    Right now (Spring) in the Denver CO area we have 24% humidity (according to my Kestrel). I think we range somewhere from 15% - 60%. I think I am going to change from the normalizing method of decreasing the humidity content of the powder, to stabilizing it at 49%. The goal for me is more...

    Powder humidity changes inside loaded cartridges

    Ahh, yes that is what I was talking about. After talking with some folks, I was doing a different process, of trying to normalize the powder to my local humidity levels. 1. mix all my powder into a large bin 2. leave the powder out to dry for several weeks in the winter 3. re-pack the powder...

    Powder humidity changes inside loaded cartridges

    Are you doing this only after opening, or are you going through some process of homogenization?

    SOLD $1250 Used Tikka 6 Dasher Competition Rifle

    Thanks, I agree - great entry level rifle without breaking the bank. The person selling it purchased an Impact barrelled action and is putting it in a Manners stock, just upgrading their system, and they can't afford to keep 2 :-).

    .224 Valkyrie

    Hey everyone... I no longer shoot .224 Valkyrie and I have some left over once fired brass I will give to someone if they want it. You pay for shipping. I think its mostly Starline (maybe 100 pieces) with a handful FC and Horandy - already separated. PM me if you want it.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    As a note - for me, the new safety components and the updated bolt assembly are the biggest updated features I am looking forward to. The other cosmetic features I could care less about, and I agree for most people - no reason to switch over in any hurry. The AT-X is still the same exact rifle...

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Sorry, lots of post since this one. I want to run what I am selling, and be able to speak about both. I also like the additional safety features. I want to keep parts compatibility with new stuff coming out in the future My cost is less than retail so the price isn't as big of an impact I...
