    Sleuthing the Federal Gold Medal match load... Mk 316 Mod 0?

    Well I haven't taken the time to really read through what everyone on here has said, but I wanted to share what I've experimented with. I did see the spec sheet posted on the first page for the load and figured I'd try it to the letter and shoot it next to Federal 175gr SMK load. And I mean to...

    85gr Barnes Match Burners

    Well I managed to get out to the range last weekend. It was damn near perfect conditions; clear skies, 80-85 degrees, light to almost no wind.... just awesome :) So anyways, I got two things done; bumped up the charges on two powders just to see and tried the same load in two barrels with...

    85gr Barnes Match Burners

    Well I've had some time to play with these a little more over the past couple of weeks. Like I said before I started playing with other ball powders; namely BLC-2, TAC, and then I continued with the 2000MR some more. So far though, I can honestly say that I'm not too impressed with this bullet...

    85gr Barnes Match Burners

    Well I am yet to see or find much of any information from people who have any experience with this bullet so I figured I'd get started on it. I'm not going to try and make any arguments on its ballistic superiority to any other bullet. This isn't really meant to be a compare and contrast write...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG BDC measurments

    This is my first time actually posting something, well other than a question a long time ago, so if it's not up to par, forgive me. I have an ACOG (TA31RCO-A4CP) mounted on my Larue stealth 16" upper. And after searching high and low for measurements on the BDC reticle, I finally decided to...

    Gunsmithing Do I need to start over?

    Re: Do I need to start over? I don't think it being thin should be a problem. What matters is that there is full contact between the action and the bedding so that it has full support. As for the recoil lug, all that really matters there is that the back side is fully supported. You don't...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor/ejection issue

    Re: Rem 700 extractor/ejection issue Hey thanks for the reply. I wish it were that simple but the cases aren't hitting the scope. Thy aren't even making it out of the ejection port. They'll extract about 3/4 of the way and then pop off the bolt and just sit on top of the mag well. My thinking...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor/ejection issue

    Hi everyone. Long time reader but this is my first post. Anyways... I have a Rem 700 police .223 that I got almost a decade ago. Its always had ejection issues where it just dumps spent cases in the mag well. But it's never failed to extract. I recently started to do a little work on it to clean...
