Help a newbie out

I have a giessele two stage match trigger and a trigger tech single stage diamond. I’ll try some groups with both and see what happens.
Either of those will help, I have an upper that I’ve ran on different lowers with different triggers same upper same optic. Much better results for me with a single stage geissele. I run the the 3 gun trigger in my match gun it’s a super fast trigger but not the best for printing groups. Hope you have the same results as me if so the groups your getting now will tighten up nicely.

Some fuckwads in DC worked damned hard to channel the case to him specifically.

I think everybody on the text thread needs to take a hammer to their phones and get new ones issued. If Boasberg has a hissy fit about it, tell him to eat a Hillary shit sandwich.
People have been known to lose their smart phones in lakes, oceans and rivers.

Same judge….hmmm….going to be a massive thorn in the side of progress

Possible ATF honeypot website.

Mentioning the Bloods and Crips reminds me of the movie Colors with Robert Duvall.

My favorite thing about that movie is the same ginger actor that plays Malachai in Children Of The Corn also plays a white chicano in Colors and the accent he does is fucking hilarious. :ROFLMAO:

As for Ice T, I liked him on the Flavor Flav Comedy Central Roast.

So I thought about that too after my first string of 10 rounds. But I didn’t wait long before I loaded my next mag of 10. Then my first several shots were good then my groups got worse.

Here’s the barrel profile:


It’s hardly a PRS barrel but there is still some mass to it for an 18” 556 barrel.
Telling you dude that trigger is a huge factor swap it out with a solid light weight single our double stage. Be willing to bet those groups tighten up a lot.

Any mountain bikers out there 2.0

Wow, I’ve been checked out for way to long in this thread. Congrats on the new ride Jbell and a Yeti to boot!
I’m so incredibly due for a new bike it’s just dumb, but my old Yeti SB130 just never disappoints.
Will most likely pursue a SB140 in XXL. I’d also like to demo an Ibis Ripley, we shall see this summer.

Beautiful night on the trail tonight….about to drop in the gnar.

212eldx in .308 hybrid cases?

Now the

So here is the important part that everyone wants to know...the load data used.

Here is the load data for the 308 Win Standard SAAMI chamber, my reamer, in a trued 700 action with a 9 twist 5 R Bartlein barrel 22" long.

The 208 gr hybrid in hybrid cases for this rifle is a good load, accurate and low SDs plus a better BC than the 215 gr Berger.

But sometimes I shoot these hybrid loads in the 8 twist long action, (because these are single load here), and get a much different accuracy event.

Or run them out of the MDT center feed without the center support for almost 3" in the rifle shown I believe it's 2.990" or 2.980" will get ya off the ogive. ... it's the same barreled action buy different stock, as I wanted to try the other stock used in this test.
But if you shorten the COAL be sure to drop the power charge about 1.5 grains...or more and work up.


So nothing is predictable here. Sometimes it's what is expected... sometimes not.
Are you using quickload or standard work up practices when determining your upper limit?

Also, what speeds were you seeing, specifically in 308, with 175-185 class bullets and are they mag fed?

I just snagged a couple hundred of the hybrid cases to experiment with. My goal is to see if I can get standard barrel length type speeds out of 16-18” barrels. Anything faster would be gravy.
