    300 Norma Mag

    Not sure, I can only report my experience and my friends experience with the 8 lb jugs of N570 that we bought around 2022.

    300 Norma Mag

    We both got higher velocities with N570, I think my friend was getting around 3050 through a 32" Bartein with no pressure signs, but the temp sensitivity was a deal killer for both of us. I think we were in squad 3 this year and by my count I shot significantly better except the scoring fiasco...

    300 Norma Mag

    I'd be careful with N570, I shot it for 2 years, but found it was extremely temp sensitive. So did my friend who was shooting it also during that time. We were shooting ELR rifles with 30-32" barrels, Lapua Cases, Fed 215M primers, Berger 245 EOLs, and 81.0-83.0 grains of N 570. At the 2023...

    What to do with my IMR Enduron 4451

    I used 16 lbs. of the stuff when H4350 was really hard to get. My load with Hornady brass, Hornady 140 ELDM, CCI BR2, 41.8 grs. of IMR 4451. gave around 2700fps in a 24" Bartlein and very good SD. It is temp stable. No cons that i can think of its pretty good in 6.5CM.

    Rifle Scopes Sunshade vs No Sunshade

    Most of my precision rifle scopes have sunshades and Aadland caps or Tenebraex caps (no I don't use the ARDs). Besides the benefits in the few situations that you would need a sunshade, they do help protect the objective threads, and I have shot mateches in the rain where they kept my objective...

    Scope ring identification.

    Every ring I can think of, Leupold, Seekins, Vortex, Nightforce, Spuhr, ARC, Badger, TPS, etc. all have some markings somewhere indicating the mfr. If there are no markings anywhere perhaps you have chinese made airsoft rings?

    How to build a bolt action?

    The CDG action offers two bolt handle configurations. The conventional configuration has a fixed bolt handle and primary extraction is by the conventional way of opening the bolt bears on a camming surface that provides primary extraction. The pivoting bolt handle configuration has a pivoting...

    Long Range Setup

    Semi auto rifles are almost never as accurate as bolt guns. Particularly large frame ARs are harder to get to run well and shoot accurately compared to a bolt gun. Plus bolt guns are easier to maintain and cleaner (no dirty direct impingement gas systems). The advantage of a semi auto in a...

    How to build a bolt action?

    There are many makers of barrel vises, this is the one that I have, the Short Action Customs (SAC) modular barrel vise: https://shortactioncustoms.com/product/modular-barrel-vise/ It's on the upper end of the price range, but the less expensive SAC Bravo barrel vise is also excellent. If...

    How to build a bolt action?

    If you can get and use a torque wrench, barrel vise, and action wrench, you can put the pieces together yourself. Start buy buying a modern action that gunsmiths make shouldered prefit barrels for. They make them for the actions that reliably hold tolerances so tight that the gunsmith doesn't...

    BRASS CATCHER

    For ARs I use the Tactical Brass Recovery (TBR) catcher and it's expensive but works great. For my bolt gun in matches I use the MPA brass catcher which also works very well, with my ARC Archimedes action, I just need to make sure to run the bolt firmly so the cases get thrown into the catcher...

    AI AE MKII - tenon lube/anti seize?

    For a rifle barrel, copper and nickel anti seize will work equally well, nickel is a premium anti seize suitable for extremely high temperatures, but for what we're using them for, they both are fine.

    AI AE MKII - tenon lube/anti seize?

    I use nickel anti seize, but Aeroshell 64 would probably work just fine. The AE is a conventional barrel torqued onto the receiver and I would use anti seize (or your Aeroshell 64) on the barrel threads

    Stiller TAC 30 Remage barrels ?

    Yes they will. I have a Stiller Spectre which is the same thread and Remage barrels work just fine.

    Rifle Scopes First NF Atacr. 200 yds blurry at 200 yds

    Did you adjust the ocular properly? Not doing that right will give you a blurry reticle and blurry image https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/setting-up-a-ffp-rifle-scope-a-simple-psa-on-diopters.6252841/ I don't have one but my friend who has the 4-16, 5-25, and 7-35 ATACR has let me...

    Help please identify and correct? Possible result of neglect

    It looks like corrosion but until you swab it out with solvent and a penetrating oil like Eezox or Kroil, it's hard to know for certain. However, I've seen barrels that looked bad inside that shot very well, so I'd probably clean it with solvent then go shoot it...

    Never owned a true precision/marksman/long range bolt action...First one

    You can get profit Tikka barrels from PVA. Other than that, I agree that in todays world it doesn't make sense to get any action that doesn't have profit barrels available.

    Rust and BT Eliminator/Carbon Remover
