    Trying out alliant 1200-r

    So after looking for almost a year in my area for specific powders for 223, I gave up and decided to try this 1200-r. On alliants website they say 22.9 grain is max load Alliant Powder - Power Pro 1200-R [span style='color: red;']Link made hot. AeroE[/span] when I found an old thread here...

    Safe to use IMR4064 and a 178gr projectile?

    Currently, i have the perfect load for my rifle (.308)... Lapua brass, 178gr AMAX, 44.7gr of Varget, 2.91OAL (long throat on the rifle and this puts it at .020 off the lands). I can consistently shoot sub 1/4" groups at 100yds. The rifle is a 700 varmint with the barrel chopped to 18" with the...

    Side charging AR and a question

    So after seeing some side charging ARs and also hearing they can help stop gas in the face when shooting suppressed (and plugging the back opening). I decided I would go for it on my own. The main problem is that I am doing this on a 9mm ar. There is no separate carrier, it's all one piece...

    Canted action

    Curious if this is a big deal. Just noticed it while cleaning the rifle. I apparently didn't bed the action perfectly center. You can tell it's just barely tilted. It's not bad enough to where the trigger is no longer in the guard, and is barely noticeable. The rifle will shoot 1/4 inch or...

    Rifle Scopes wtf scope?!

    I get these alerts for EA Brown Co occasionally and they sent one for these scopes. Maybe it is just me, but this has got to be the most ridiculous scope ive ever seen. They might as well have just put a hand crank on the damn thing. Who or what would use this?! Hawke Sidewinder 30 Riflescopes...

    Delrin bolt knobs

    So I've messed around with Delrin in the past, and I've wanted to make me a new bolt knob because my badger knob was...boring lol. I ordered a stick of aluminum and another of black Delrin. I turned out one of aluminum and i think it looks pretty good. Then i wanted to try out the Delrin...

    Suppressors Poi shift up?

    So after getting my rifle where I want it shooting a 1/4" @ 100, and getting word directly from SWR that my Trident9 is safe to use with subsonic 308 I decided to load up a batch. My first group was 17" lower than my standard ammo zero. Decent group, no keyholes, so I shot a couple more...

    velocity estimation

    Ive seen some people on here using some piece of software that gives a pretty decent velocity estimate for a round...i seemed to have found my perfect load, as it is shooting 1/4" groups at 100yds. What i do not have is a chrono (i know i know, its on my midway wishlist lol). It would be...

    Gunsmithing Acraglas Gel Harden Time

    I have used regular acraglas to bed a rifle before, and as you know that stuff has a violent reaction, gets very hot, and hardens up rather quickly. I just now bedded a rifle with acraglas gel as i have read people seem to like it more. I know they say working time is longer (25 mins) but its...

    not happy with new B&C Tactical

    So i have been waiting about a year to pick up a new stock for my 700. It finally came in this week and it is a B&C Tactical. Now even with the crappy factory stock, the gun was not shooting bad (or i wasnt at least haha). With my handloads i pulled off this group So with the new...

    .308 win seating depth

    I have a question on seating depth. My rifle is a nearly stock 700 SPS Varmint, barrel cut to 22"(1:12 twist). My current load is a 178gr A-Max on 43.8gr of Varget in Lapua brass, with a OAL of 2.910. Yea...that seems long but the rifle has a very long throat. That 2.910 is actually only .020...

    178 gr AMAX

    I just got into reloading...finally lol. I worked up 100 rounds for my .308 this weekend and im not happy with the accuracy. I shoot better with factory hornady rounds. What i used was hornady cases, 178gr AMAX, WLP primers, and 41gr of varget, COL 2.800. the rifle is a rem 700 sps varmint...
