    308 load data for 16 inch bolt gun. (178 ELDX)

    I loaded up a CFE223 ladder for 178 elds in my 16.5”. Used the 175 smk data from hodgdon website. 46 grains gave 2640 fps, which is screaming. 46.5 gave over 2700 fps. Very sticky bolt, primers flat and loose pockets. That’s max for me. Heard that cfe can go off the rails easily, so I’ll...

    New PA Glx 3-18

    As an adherent to the gospel of “you get what you pay for”, it pains me to admit that I’m interested. Want a 4-16 atacr. But this is probably pretty high on the diminishing returns curve?

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 DBM opinions from guys that put them in.....and use them.

    Lust-worthy, in a word. Very, very nice. Everyone has a custom 6.5 in a chassis. This is next level. Been following this for months. I put this rifle together a couple years ago. Factory aac-sd 16.5” on an unknown eBay walnut, bedded action and pic rail in JB, opened the barrel channel with...

    Direct thread keeps coming loose

    Those work, the problem for this application is that the material on both sides of the washer has to be softer than the washer for them to bite. Basic mild steel is their bread and butter They are a royal bitch to get off and absolutely work. But with a 400 series barrel and a hardened...

    Physical Fitness Deadlifts?

    I’ll agree that arbitrary load goals are dangerous. Took some time off to have a hernia fixed last year and just got back at it recently. I’ve started focusing more on squats and assistance work with deadlifts once a week or so. It’s better on me, and my new gym has a reverse hyper machine...

    Zealot Rifle Chassis by KMW

    This is cool stuff. Have asked to have my name added to the waitlist for a spec build zealot. In 308 obviously.

    Short light suppressed whitetail hunting rifle

    My hand is hovering over the phone to call SPR for this exact combo. Maybe a rem varmint contour, but still. And with a nice deep helical fluting, of course.

    I had a killer Honda XR650R that I used to ride around pretending to be Johnny Campbell. That bike was ready for whatever, had a plate on it, and I was either going to die or go to jail. So I know where you’re coming from.

    Are gps units outdated or needed for non mil?

    Used onX on an iPhone for 8 days in airplane mode. Charged off a battery bank a couple times. My 62st would eat batts about the same rate, have shittier maps, and less useful interface. It does have the advantage in ruggedness, works in the rain, etc. I carried a small compass and a printed...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    There was a C6500 for sale locally a few years back like that, but older. 3208 cat and a 10 speed. Like $9500, should have just bought it.
