    Im guessing this is over gassed?

    Which book is that for reference? And I'm off the lands by a bit on this load, by how much I'd have to look at my notes; just got back into town so will check that. And I agree this brass feels soft. I hear winchester is kind of tough; is that true would you know? And that primer fell out...

    Im guessing this is over gassed?

    I see. Yea, I've had a few rifle speeds and out of all of his models not a single one fits 99% of my ARs lol. That's my luck though. I may try for this one specifically.

    Im guessing this is over gassed?

    Yea, I was thinking the same thing... I could close off the gas block in the restrictive mode but they say you shouldnt do that to their blocks, which is odd but I understand. I was going to try it and see what happens. Or just shoot it without the can as well... How big is that gas port...

    Im guessing this is over gassed?

    I've never ran it up to max before. I've always loaded to the book minimum and was happy with the .7" groups she was giving me the 4 or so times Ive had her out. After it's proved itself that it can group, I was then interested in getting the load close to book max to now take her out to...

    Im guessing this is over gassed?

    About 200 or so rounds through the barrel. I dont remember a carbon ring I will double check and post pics. The reason why I'm baffled is that the gas blocks all the way open, the buffer's an ounce heavier, and I'm more than a grain below book max.

    Im guessing this is over gassed?

    Im at 42.9 of varget (1.1gr below book max) on a suppressed PSA rifle length, rifle buffered LR308 firing hornady 178s. Its destroying the rims. Lantac enhanced bcg and superlative arms block opened all the way. I even threw in another tungsten weight in the buffer for a total of 6.4oz. Rough...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    That definitely sounds like some shady shit. Even though the contracts are supposed to be set up to be almost cheat proof, they cheat in them all the time. I see some stupid shit sometimes; it makes me mad.

    What are your favorite barrels

    With the lesser companies I find that their good shooting barrels are fleeting; here and there, whereas the higher end barrels offer a better chance at success. I've accurized a buddies ar308 with a ballistic advantage barrel and it shot in the .3 area with handloads, but that was one. Most of...

    High BC but slow FPS vs. faster, lower BC bullet question

    I see. I am also building a 6.5cm ar; 20" though. I was wondering about that. Initially this thread was about heavy 6.5 bullets in a full size bolt gun, the help with a shorter barrelled gas gun will help me as well. So since I'm at 20", you think I should shoot the berger 130 ar hybrids as...

    High BC but slow FPS vs. faster, lower BC bullet question

    Are you saying that the 140s may be too heavy out of an ar?

    Like the last few I've sold on here, same story; bought this when the corona took over, realized that my vision isn't what it used to be and now I need more mag. This scope has seen one range trip, then sat in the arms room the last three or so years. For the money this is a great scope...

    High BC but slow FPS vs. faster, lower BC bullet question

    I see. What does the US Palma team shoot then? If we want to compete internationally, do we practice with the 155s?

    High BC but slow FPS vs. faster, lower BC bullet question

    I actually just shot a batch of those, and they dont group as wel, though I just loaded one ladder. I should keep experimenting with those then eh?

    High BC but slow FPS vs. faster, lower BC bullet question

    Yea I hear that; I'm guessing that's why Palma guys push a 155 grainer as fast as possible. Is that because theres more advantage ballistically? Or was that because that's just the mandated weight and that's the rule?

    High BC but slow FPS vs. faster, lower BC bullet question

    Having to choose between say, Bergers 153 and their 140 in the 6.5cm; The heavier bullets have a higher bc but the 140 will get to the target sooner. I know shot group size kind of trumps most every other attribute but which attribute here helps with bucking the wind at a 1000 better, the BC...
