Radio FYI

Received another shipment of Baofeng radios two weeks ago & yesterday got around to programming them. Some had very odd freqs with Tx & Rx tones or DCS programmed in them but the kicker was a few had, Rx only DCS/tones programmed in. Called to spread the word to other locals & hrs later they were finding radios never powered up they had storied from years back, with the same thing.

Nefarious, no clue, but now everyone is double checking every unit.

Advice on Custom 7 mm PRC Rifle with Accuracy Issues

I had a gunsmith build a 7 mm prc using a heavy contour 26” 1-8 twist carbon six barrel. I have the barrel paired with a kelbly atlas lite action and grayboe Phoenix 2 stock. I have a nightforce nx8 scope and nightforce rings on a kelbly rail. I have 210 rounds through this barrel and have tried several good powders (h1000, rl25, retumbo, n565, n570, h4831sc) with hornady 175 eldx and 180 eldm bullets. I am using ADG brass. I cannot get any load to shoot better than about 3/4 moa. For comparison I reload for several factory rifles and have them all shooting below 1/2 moa. I expected to get Accuracy at least this good from this custom build. The gunsmith bedded the action because he thought the stock pillar bedding on the phoenix 2 was causing barrel deflection, but if anything the accuracy got slightly worse.

My gunsmith is recommending that I have the barrel cryogenically treated to improve accuracy. I have read threads on here that seem to have mixed advice on this and I haven't seen anybody discuss doing this on a carbon barrel, although I suppose it would work the same on the steel portion.

Basically I am looking for any and all advice on what to do. I don't claim to be an expert reloader, but with the success I have had with several factory guns, and the combinations I have tried with this gun, I feel confident that the issue is not with the load but with the gun.

Ruger M77 Hawkeye .257 Roberts accuracy expectations?

I was gifted a Ruger M77 Hawkeye in .257 Roberts. I understand that the rifle is quite desirable, so I haven't changed anything on it. It's completely stock. No bedding job, no aftermarket trigger, etc. I worked up a load with 42 gr. H4350 and a 117 grain Hornady SST. I'm getting 1-1/2" to 2" groups at 100 yards. I can't seem to get anything better. Is this reasonable with this rifle and handloads? Am I being too picky? I plan on deer hunting with it, that's about it.

Delete account

Please help me get my account deleted. I got all the firearms info I need for now. The bear pit is addictive and logging out and trying to stay away isn’t helping. The political stuff gets to me to the point where I’m so grumpy/depressed and it affects the people I love.

Many of the guys here are talented, knowledgeable, experienced, smart, and I don’t think I belong here until I get kicked around by life a little more. Maybe I’ll try again with a humble approach and more humility in a few years.

Somebody mentioned in an old thread that cussing a staff member can get your account deleted. So, here I go… fuck you @Lowlight. If this doesn’t work… idk, I put my faith in the pit.

Thank you.

DD5V4 and ammo

Greetings new member,
I recently switched from a Victor .308 to the DD5v4. The victor seemed to shoot good 100yd groups on cheap PMC . The DD5v4 on the other hand was not so good. Having said that there are contributing factors to this.

DD5 brand new 50 rds
i normally run CMC Single Stage triggers and straight out the box reverting to a heavy mil-spec ... iykyk

So generalized questions:

what has anyone found to be a great off the shelf ammo to shoot for decent precision?
reloading formulas ?

Thank you for any information.

Custom action options for 7PRC build

Looking to start a 7PRC build next year and getting a parts list started. My experience with custom actions is that I own a short action Origin and have shot Impact’s, Stiller, Curtis, and Bat’s. That said, im tempted to just get another Origin because its what I know and I like it. I wouldn’t mind a more “costly” action but would like to limit the price to $1300-$1400 at most. I know a ton of stuff is out there now and mainly looking to get input on if going up another $300-$400 from the Origin is worth it. This gun will be dressed out with a 28” barrel, MDT or KRG chassis and probably a gen 3 Razor. That said I will not compete with this gun but will occasionally hunt, positional and prone long range.

What say the Hide??
