    Has anyone used this round to shoot through hurricane glass? If so how well did it hold up?

    Black Hills Ammo issue

    At the start of 2013 we began running low on Black Hills 180 Nolser AccuBond ammo. We placed an order and the ammo arrived July 2014. The new ammo appears to have a slight difference in the casing and the sealer used for the primers is green (previously red). The result from old to new was a...

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    After speaking with our armor he advised AI "adjusted" the fire pin but that wasn't the issue according to them. The rifle seems to be firing fine now. I won't use it, so it's listed as a spare. Thanks for everyone's help.

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    No but that's a great question I'll ask the amorer and post a reply. We have 7 others shooting the same lot and ammo. Mine was the only rifle that had issues. Which leads me to believe it's the rifle. Also to note I've been on a new AI since then and haven't had any issues.

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    Ok so my AI came back a few weeks ago. AI said there was nothing wrong with the rifle. Note I've been on a new AI same ammo and lot number as the previous one with no issues. They have put the rifle I was having trouble with in the armory as a spare. Problem is and I'm going to convey this, that...

    C&H precision rifles

    Anyone heard of these folks? I took a tour of their facility and shot some of their weapons. Very nice stuff they're doing. I'd like some more intel, if you guys know them. You can find their page on FB. Let me know thanks

    My first "Sniper" and 100% newbie.

    bigjoe5434 love your style man. I use black hills bonded 180 grn for work. But the 165 hornady worked awesome really tight groups. Good luck buddy. Great to see you getting into it.

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    tylerw02 the rounds were from different lot numbers. During our last shoot I had several misfires so I tried one of the misfires in a different rifle, round didn’t fire. So I gave that lot number to a team mate and switched him boxes (pita for logging purposes) no issues from their rifle where...

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    remington patriot That’s a good point about the log brother. I’m in FL like you. I’m sending a box of misfires and a box that hasn’t been chambered or fired from the same lot number. For what we do the Black Hills bonded 308 180 grn is awesome. I can punch through glass up to 10 feet without the...

    308 or 300 WIN Mag which is better

    Sorry, yes bullet grains. Just looking for some suggestions. I have access to Black Hills bonded 308 180 grn which is great for 800 yards and in. once you go beyond that it’s a crap shoot. So I’m just looking to see what works for everyone else here.

    308 or 300 WIN Mag which is better

    So what round would you use to push out to a 1000 with a 308? Right now I'm Running a AI AE Mrk III 308 with a Nightforce. This gun is just under 1/2 MOA

    308 or 300 WIN Mag which is better

    Getting some opinions which is better for 700-1000 yards. We’re not talking about taking down game, just punching holes in paper.

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    Again thanks for the advice. I have elected to refuse to carry the rifle until it can be checked out by the manufacture. I will be sending it back on Monday with a box of misfired black hills and another box of live rounds with the same lot number. I’m going to guess the FP is off by a...

    Good bullet weight for deer?

    Black Hills 180 bonded. Great round in the event you have to shoot through a barer. In this case a tree branch within 10 feet of your target. The round wont separate and still maintains its integrity.

    AI Mrk III firing pin not striking the primer hard enough.

    Pulled the bolt and checked the FP channel no issues. I think the best course of action would be to send the rifle back. Mainly because if 9 other rifles are all functioning properly on the same lot of ammo, than it’s probably mechanical. Thanks again for the help. Ill post the outcome once...
