    Why do people load so hot?

    Well, ill listen to lash 100x more than anything you have to say. To your point, yes, trying to make a 6br into 6gt or creed is dumb. 6creed will feed better than a br without needing special mags. If you have a short action rifle but you want performance closer to a long action for hunting...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Finally got a break from work to drag out my 7prc pva/cdg, 1125yds with 184gr berger/h1000@3050fps. This thing hammers and vertical is unreal.

    0 Headspace Chamber?

    If you die will size all the way back and isnt a smidge long. I've been in this situation and ended up having a shellholder shaved down a couple thou and then I could bump shoulder .0015 under fired size. Keep in mind, virgin brass will be 3-5 though under min.

    KRG W3, what tool to torque front action screw?

    Done this before. Im not a big fan of using ball end Allen keys(fix it) on stuff that you can get straight on, it's a good way to eat up fastener head or slip and booger it up. Ball end Allen's do not have the same amount of engagement as a regular Allen key, turn wrenches for a living.

    What’s the cause?

    Use the depth part of calipers to measure pin protrusion when fp is in the "fired" state. Too much protrusion, thin primers cups(cci400), and max or near max load can cause this, by themselves or in combination. Those primer disc's can definitely cause drag of fp or fail to ignite from...

    Barrel choice for an accuracy international AT 308 firing 155 gr lapua scenar L

    If you got the barrel, try it. If buying, id lean towards a 10 or 11.25 twist for that bullet and shorter barrel. H4895 will be your friend.

    Proper assembly for pre-fit on ARC CDG action?

    If you want a carbon barrel for gee wiz factor, fine, but go with a good carbon like proof or bartlien. Yes there are cheaper options, but id hedge my bet and get a great name in carbon banks if you need to go that way. It is your money and rifle, so your call, but everyone here has built a...

    Whose barrel is better?

    Yep, there was some contributing factors also, that I forgot. I do remember Ted at ARC went above and beyond to make owner whole, ill remember that when I action shop!

    Whose barrel is better?

    I've had several pva barrels and they've all shot great, osprey blanks and rock creek. Never had a straight jacket barrel, but seems there was a thread a yr or so ago where their threads wrecked a cdg action.

    7Prc not grouping

    1-9 should be fine with 180 eldms@2850 or faster, I'm basing that off of berger stability calc research from 10mo ago(memory might not be perfect though).

    Proper assembly for pre-fit on ARC CDG action?

    I like my cdg, also a 7prc and it digs the 184 f opens. I like my origin, i won't lie, but that cdg with the pivoting bolt handle would be the ticket if you have some primary extraction woes on a hot day with a long action cartridge. Op, you might look at pva for a barrel. Thats what's on my...

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    I've got a 233 wylde that loves 75eldm/h4895, and 77smk/tac(650 loaded). I use mdt(plastic)and accurate 223(steel), both modded for oal. Pretty sure with a 20thou jump with 75 eldm, I've got enough room left to reach the .090 match freebore( only .025-.030 diff between wylde and "match"...

    Seekins ph3

    Ai at and ax barrels fit on ae actions, but ae barrels will not work on at/ax. The ae had a unthreaded part on barrel journal that lug covered. The at/ax barrel that's fully threaded works with lug.
