    Bartlein barrel from Craddock Precision, 16" 223 Wylde, quick review

    Nice! One of my favorite loads, Im shooting 23.6gr of 8208. Great load it seems, might be one of those universal good loads.

    Horny aeromatch 77grsmk clones

    Did a search here and found alot of info here but being a dinosaur whos still shooting mostly 5.56 and 6.8spc I was wondering about the jackets on these bullets. I read in one thread that BHA was using these aeromatch in their mk262 ammo? Is that confirmed? If that is true then I would almost...

    My annealing effort

    OK, its 6.8SPC brass. The 6.8 runs about 58k full pressure I think and I load way o er any publoshed data. I load everything from 85gr all the way up to 130gr bullets, like I said its a pretty versatile little cartridge and a great hog and medium game round. I have hornady, 1st,2nd and 3rd gen...

    My annealing effort

    A side note to a few things Ive read here pertaining to brass life. This caliber is almost exclusively a handloaders cartridge and if Im not having any issues with brass, and Im pretty consistent with measuring and inspecting, is there any reason to retire my brass after 5 or 10 firings like Im...

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    Not sure if Ill ever need to buy primers again, thats why I really try to source powders and bullets locally if I can so as to avoid the hazmat and shipping and everything else they tack on to an online order.

    9mm

    I like a 124gr GoldDot over 6.5gr of Ramshot TrueBlue with a cci primer. A very accurate load too. These were out of a cz p-01, theyre a little hotter out of my g17. Another nice load is 6.8gr of hs-6, same bullet and primer. Not as good with the sd and es but acceptable. These are my...

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    Ive been trying to find some n140 at one of my 3 possible local shops but no luck so far. One has alot of VV powders but no 140. Ive used N530 for about 5 years and finally got down to the last pound. Works well with 62gr bullets. Its very clean burning and produces screaming velocities and is...

    My 457 WMR Reborn

    Maybe a before pic is in order. I had a fella tell me I ruined it, that it was beautiful BEFORE i refinished it.

    My 457 WMR Reborn

    When I purchased my 457 about 3 years ago I was shocked by what I knew was hiding beneath the thick, heavy slathering of that dark brown mud CZ just loves to coat their factory wood stocks with. I immediately wanted to remove it to see how beautiful the wood really was. But, having not ever...

    CZ 457

    They sure are nice little rifles. I bought a Varmint in 22mag a few months ago and have really fallen in love with it. My sample is way more accurate than I was lead the 22mag to be. Its no 22lr but still, its pretty darn accurate. It likes Speer gold dot and cci fmj. Actually those are the only...

    5.56 AR Only Loads

    Been working up 62gr loads with Varmint and it's an outstanding powder. Great numbers all around. Accuracy is there too. Loading 62gr Fusions over 26.0gr of Varmint for 2930fps from a 16" Centurion Arms CHF CL barreled AR. Even more was that there was no signs of over pressure, primers and cases...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Hell yes I'm happy with it. It's the finest AR I own, bar none, of the 7 I currently have. I enjoy this one the most. No kidding, every time I shoot it I smile, alot. I should add though that it currently is set up as a real Mod1 with the fixed stock instead of the ModH and I actually like it...

    ? For the MK12 Clone Experts Out There???

    Cool seeing that people still suffer from the cloning disease. My feeble mod1 attempt I try to keep the BH ammo but do shoot a few rounds every now and then. My handloads arguably shoot better, I cloned the ammo better than I did the rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell DMR2i w/G3

    I certainly appreciate your help and advice. I have already listed it every way possible, with and without the mount. Model number and I did note this being the new version and that its illuminated. I even included a pic of the lable on the end of the box. Since you say many have been for sale...
