Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

Curious if you changed calibers or what vintage you bolt, bolt head, and barrel are. There was a print correction with regards to the cone dimensions early on. And also, the cone dimensions change according to the caliber if there is a bolt head change.

Per my understanding and experience from having an early release and then buying a different bolt head and changing course at the last minute.
Are you talking about cone dimensions for the barrel? The impact to the front face of the lug is ahead of any interaction the barrel would have with the bolt.

I’m the second owner. I believe the original owner had a creedmoor in it. I have a 6.5 prc on it

223 Ackley Improved

Krieger 26 barrel
Lapua brass
Cci 450
75 eldm from touching to 20 thou off

Varget 24-25.5 gn/ lil slower but better groups
H4895 low 24’s-25.2/ prolly could soup it up a lil more/ speeds better
Tiny pressure signs on primer only at higher charges, no heavy lift or swipe.

I can get ES of 20-30 & SD of 12-17 easy.
But nothing better than that. My OCD likes better tho I can’t shoot/see a difference.

Edit: this was last (before hard clean) Varget attempt.
25.7 gn@ 3037fps
ES- 51 🤢
SD-12.8
On 21 shots

I had similar performance and issues with the 75ELDMs and H4895. I was running 25.7gn of H4895 and got about 3106fps out of a 26” barrel 1:7 twist. Getting .7-1moa groups.

My half baked theory was that the plastic tip was deforming with that sort of heat and pressure and impacting ballistic performance. It’s the only round I had real issues with in the 223AI. It might be worth backing it off a little bit and seeing if that helps.

Has anyone else’s action developed this marking? Looks like where the bolt face interacts with the lugs as it guides it into the correct location. In conversation with ARC this may be something that occurs just due to there being no guide rails for the bolt body. Just curious if anyone else’s action exhibits this or just mine due to how I handle the bolt or something like that.

Of Note: I am in talked with ARC. They are very responsive have stated it’s not a deftly concern or anything of the sorts.

I won't say no one cares. Conservative will be horrified BUT tend to stick with the letter of the law. IF Conservatives played by the real rules every one of these butcher shops would be burnt to the ground.
sorry rule of law needs to go away. this is just more proof that the left in all its forms wants to kill us at any age or situation. wake up people.

Very disappointed

🤷‍♂️ I sent him a DM, he never sent the info to ship it. No biggie no one’s obligated to help here.

Any way, ELD-M’s are going much slower I’m sure than the M118 or FGMM since they’re 2600fps average vs my hand load, which I didn’t chronograph but I think 40gr was at or below 2400fps. They shoot to the same point far as windage but tend to impact a half inch lower.

Here’s the FGMM and a M118 group. Img_5989 is the M118 the FGMM was a 3 shot group while the M118 was a 5 shot group.

Edit: not sure why the pictures aren't showing like usual. 🤷‍♂️
With it shooting like that, you just need to adjust your zero and shoot the crap out of it. No complaints.

Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!


Ok.... looks like we need a King vs. Pope Vs. Putin race... I might have to make a board on the 'fridge!

Who else should we add to Dead Pool 2025? The less likable the better!

Ever notice that you always hear women bitching about sex with men, but you never hear gay dudes doing it? Obviously women are the problem not dudes.

Name one time you’ve heard anyone on this list bitch about their sexual relations with men.
