    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    For normal cleaning I prefer Butch's Bore Shine. For cabon removal I prefer Bore Tech carbon remover to KG1. I also like using Wipe-Out foaming bore cleaner if I have time. I run 2 patches of Wipe-Out accelerator through the bore before filling it with foam and by the next morning it just needs...

    We are eagerly waiting🍿. I'm still disappointed that the rifle didn't get to Mike R.

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    Will there be fire cracking on a barrel that new?

    Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

    Have you tried looking to see if you have a carbon ring in the chamber? Is your brass trimmed to proper length? I go about 150 rounds between cleanings. I clean the carbon ring frequently because it is easy to do at the end of the day.

    Savage Axis II Precision 6.5CM bolt issue?

    If you want an easier time cycling the bolt replace the bolt handle with the tactical model. I use it on all of mine. Edit: Glades Armory makes a tactical bolt handle for the Axis II

    Gun friendly hotels in Vegas

    Call the Trump hotel. Some people who I know attended SHOT and had no problems. There is also a Holiday Inn Express on the other side of the highway called stadium area. I would imagine that you wouldn’t have too many problems in a place like that and it’s brand new. It’s only about a mile from...

    What is this borescope pic?

    The real question is does it still shoot as accurately as is did before? If it doesn’t get wet or condensation I don’t clean till the groups open up around 150 rounds or so. If it gets wet I’ll push a couple of wet patches followed by some dry patches then a patch of oil. I will then run a dry...

    If you're so confident in your work why don't you hold the apple and let someone else give it a try? Any national level shooter of your choice.;)

    Chassis for kids?

    I have both an LSS-XL and an ACC Premier with the short buttstock and no folder. Look at the Buttstock section on the MDT site it gives you the minimum and maximum LOP with different chassis. I’m not a fan of AR style buttstocks on precision rifles.

    This was the one and only time I have shot past 600M. As I mentioned in the post I ran out of my hand loads which is the only reason I bought the FGMM. I’ve never shot 140SMK’s before that day And my home range is only 400M so BC wasn’t even a consideration when selecting bullets. What...

    If you look at the photos I posted above You will see the 3 top photos have an average velocity of around 1440 fps @ 1,000Y (FGMM 140gr SMK) 2 of the bottom photos are around 1475 fps @ 1,000y (Sierra Custom Competition 140gr SMK) One of the bottom photos has a velocity of 1558 fps @ 1,000y...

    Very disappointed

    One box of one type of ammo doesn't prove anything. I typically shoot hand loads but 2 summers ago I brought my rifle to Dead Zero Shooting Park in Tennessee to shoot 1,000y. I ran out of my handloads at 600Y so I bought 2 boxes of 140gr FGMM 6.5CM (140gr SMK) The 2 boxes shot between 1.23...
