    Firearms Sig Cross PRS w/ New Unfired IBI BARREL

    Sig Cross PRS 6.5 Creedmoor 63 rounds through the factory tube before ordering a new barrel in 6.5 creedmoor from IBI. IBI barrel is brand new and unfired. Specs are in pictures. Street price on these seems to be $2500 and the Barrel was about $650. I’m asking $2000. I’d also trade for a...

    What Am I doing Wrong

    Two possibilities come to mind. Bullet is seated too long and engaging the lands before bolt will close or you have a tight necked chamber and the case necks are too thick to chamber with a bullet seated. From your pics, it doesn’t look like the first. John

    Horse Power, Track Shit, Torque, Cubic Inches, Liters, Run What Ya Brung, Auto or Cycle

    My wife bought a new Ford Ranger Raptor. Ford Performance came out with a tune that bumps the HP to 455 and the torque to 536 ft/lbs. It’s about the most fun you can have with your clothes on… John

    Precision 6.5 CM - What would you change about my process?

    Dawn + Lemishine Either corncob or crushed walnut shells. Either works fine. John

    Precision 6.5 CM - What would you change about my process?

    My process. YMMV: 1. Use good components. Alpha Munitions or Lapua brass. 2. Deprime cases using dedicated decapping die. I use a Lee. It works fine. 3. Wet tumble with stainless pins. I want perfectly clean brass going into my dies. Also cleans primer pockets to like new. May not...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRHS2 vs DMR3

    I have the LRHS2 and the DMR II Pro, the predecessor to the DMR III. Glass on both is very nice. Not ZCo nice, but for the $ very nice. And yes, the glass on the LRHS2 is nicer than the 1st gen models. John

    .308 Winchester

    Aero Precision Solus Hunter rebarreled by Jon Beanland with a 20” 1:10 twist Bartlein 3b. .308s are just so eager to please. I ordered some Berger 168gr Classic Hunters to try, as I had very good results from them in a previous .308. Also picked up a jug of N150. It is much more affordable than...

    Someone did actually respond on Facebook Messenger. That was the only method I was able to get a response from. Problem resolved. John

    Aero Precision Customer Support

    Does anyone know how to talk to a live customer support person at Aero Precision? Aero Precision charged my card two weeks ago for an order I placed by phone. I have not received my order, or verification of that order other than seeing a charge against my card. I have spent, literally, hours...

    22GT load data

    I have some Varget and N150 but haven’t tried them with the 68gr HHTs yet. When shooting 77gr TMKs, Varget pressured out at a significantly lower velocity than H4350. John

    22GT load data

    So, I loaded up five 68gr Hammer HHTs for the .22GT. One charge each from 38.4 to 40gr H4350 in .4gr increments, in order to find max pressure. Only made it through the first three rounds before getting ejector marks. But they are smokin’ fast and those three rounds with three different charges...

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    Shot this pig a few days ago. Got the ‘yote this morning. Berger 85.5gr Hybrid launched at about 3015fps from my hunting weight .22GT. 300 yards. Had to hold .5 mils wind. Same load for both the pig and the ’yote. John

    22GT load data

    The Matchmaster 6GT seater works fine, but you have to raise the ram a little to ensure the bullet falls into the case mouth if using the bullet window. John

    thoughts on aero precision barreled action

    So why does everyone expect FGMM to shoot well in any barrel? Because some loads will shoot well in multiple barrels. The load I tried has always, at a minimum, shot acceptably well in multiple barrels. I would not expect it to necessarily shoot as small as it did in a previous barrel, but...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    As stated above, I DID do some load development with 178gr ELD-Xs, Lapua brass and Varget, working up from 42 gr to over 44gr in .4gr increments. They all shot like garbage. Additionally, I tried a proven load from previous barrels, R15 pushing 155gr Scenars from Lapua brass. Over the years...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Also tried 178gr ELDx w/ several different charges of Varget. Shot worse than the other. In my experience, any barrel that shoots this consistently bad will never shoot consistently good. Love the action and the stock seems fine, so I have a Proof prefit ordered. John

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I bought one of the Hunter models in .308 and everything about it seems quality, but it shoots like garbage. Groups from 1.5 to 2.5” with handloads that shot in the .4s in a previous Criterion barrel rifle. I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to the barrel. Put the Solus barreled action in an MPA...

    6.5 vs 6 CM for son's range gun

    You might consider chambering the 6.5 CM but run 123s in it. You can push them to 2940ish, at which point they’ll hang with a 6 CM, but recoil is noticeably less than 140s and heavier. Also gain a little barrel life advantage over the 6. John
