    Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

    You could throw 25gr of mystery meat canister powder behind the 80.5 and it would probably shoot 1/2 moa. I’ve shot 23.5 XBR, 24.3 varget, 26.2 staball match, 24.8 N540 behind the 80.5 and they all shot really really tight. I’ve loaded 2.525 down to 2.450in and also didn’t see much difference...

    Did he get paid?

    The Glock leg phenomenon was mostly due to poorly trained cops transitioning to a new platform. Glocks weren't discharging in their holsters the way the P320s have.

    Opinions on VV N540 powder for 223/5.56 hand loads?

    N540 is pretty good for heavy 223s. Give about an extra 25-50FPS over varget for the same pressure out of my 77TMK loads, accuracy was similar, tad worse than varget but SD wasn’t as good. I was loading 25.0gr for a bolt gun load at 2.475in with the 77TMK. Lapua brass, CCI 450. Apparently it...

    7-08 vs 7 SAW vs 7CM vs ? for Large Frame

    7SAW with the 162 eldm and the 160 TMK. Most efficient case in the short action game. Especially when limited to the 2.80in coal. And alpha brass is available

    ‘Entry level Rifle Setup’

    MPA PMR for the ARC CDG action and AW magazines, especially if you plan to run some kind of creed flavour. Nothing feeds like a dual stack AW into a coned breech barrel.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Yeah but the problem comes when using a more traditional stock, I have huge hands and I couldn’t get a perfect trigger pull on a Manners LRH, if there was a way to move the shoe a bit more forward, I would have kept the stock. One of the reasons I’m running MDT Elites grip on all my chassis is...

    Will Alpha Dethrone Lapua As The Best Brass Around?

    I run Lapua for my 223 match, 6.5 Creed SRP, 308win, 243win Alpha for my 7SAW, 6.5 Creed LRP, 22 Creed, 8.6 BLK ADG for 7SAUM (Very good stuff as well) I try to buy Lapua first but I’d much rather buy a headstamped Alpha 22Creed than neck down Lapua 6creed to 22.

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    I would send it back for warranty. Mine is as smooth as my 3K+ rounds Nuke 2.0 and my 2K+ Archmedes and it's only sub 500 rounds. No grease except some light oil on the bolt body, race track and behind the lugs

    MPA mag catch adjustment

    How Relevant is the Nightforce NX8 4-32?

    The hunters over at rokslide still love it because it’s bomb proof and relatively short and light weight. So yes in many ways it’s still relevant in 2025.
