    Ideas for precision AR-15 build?

    So an update, I've been researching loads for this rifle (1:7 18" WOA Wylde barrel) and I think the bullet for this build is going to be the 77gr Sierra Match King. Been watching Johnny's Reloading Bench on Youtube and he's got the same barrel and had excellent results with Accurate 2520 and...

    Ideas for precision AR-15 build?

    No I don't, I just want to see them make a new Sharknado movie with Pugs.

    Ideas for precision AR-15 build?

    So I recently built a cheap .223/5.56 AR 10.5" barreled 'pistol' upper and brace lower to complement my 8.5" 300 blackout pistol, and I have to say it really sucks and I am not impressed with the ballistics or the accuracy. (I have been spoiled by a top end semi AR-10 6.5 Creedmoor build.) It...

    Primer seating

    Inconsistent brass? Warped primer pockets? (from shooting too many Bubba's pissin' hot loads?) Crap left in your primer pockets from the first firing? Do you have a hand press that you can chuck those things into and see what's what with hand pressure?

    Anyone on a Keto diet? I'll probably die, but oh well.

    A few years ago I was weak, fat and broke. I lived for a year and a half on nothing but a liquid diet consisting of water, whey protein, mct oil, heavy cream, fiber, fish oil pills, a multivitamin and some micronutrient salts. 1600-2400 calories a day, 2-3 800 calorie shakes, about 5 carbs...

    The Kestrel Killer?

    If you could make a ballistics computer that has detachable environment sensors package that could mount to a vane somewhere away from the FFP, that would be really cool. You could put a rechargable battery in the sensor package so that it charges when attached. You could sell the sensors and...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks, it’s a testament to the consistency of brand new Lapua brass and a sane amount of powder.

    Looking at tools for a digital dope book. Trying out new Ballistic-X app and best group on 6.5cm so far.

    Sig BDX System Review: 2400 BDX, Part 1a

    Can the compass in the Leica 2800.com be calibrated to the compass in the Kestrel or vice versa? (It's important that they both agree on exactly where north is.) Do both account for True North (important for Coriolis effects) rather than magnetic north?

    First time reloading. Where to go from here. 6.5 Creedmoor

    I had a node at 41.8gn of H4350 @ 2650 fps out of a 22" barrel with 147 and 143gn ELD-M/X loads, but I destroyed my Hornady brass primer pockets doing it. It worked fine for 3-4 firings and then primers started falling out when chambering / ejecting brass. I switched to Lapua. Might want to try...

    6.5CM Hornady Brass Life and Loose Primer Pockets?

    So I recently got the wiser precision magnetospeed mount so I’m able to record all shots and zero without changing the point of impact. This increases the life of my barrel/brass etc... because I can do load development and group analysis in one step. Here is my best group of the day. 5 shots...

    Talk me out of a Kestrel and Sig BDX Rangefinder.

    Took the weathermeter contraption out to the range for zero conditions. Set it up for a test on the bench. Spun itself into the mild wind (3mph) and reported environmentals like a champ. 4DOF crashes when no data available on the phone. StrelokPro worked great. I’m looking into getting a...
