    Barrel Rankings

    A while back on another forum there was a barrel rankings chart,call them Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3. Now for the most part these were just personal opinions , but repete usage says a lot.

    Stiffer uppers ?

    At the end of the day your still hanging a heavy piece of steel from an aluminum receiver. It has limits. Not sure if that's the selling point of these one piece units, But as 357 Max says there is only one point of contact for the barrel and the upper. And like "bolt guns" you would loose the...

    Stiffer uppers ?

    Thank you all for your thoughts on my question regarding "stiff" / "ridge" uppers. An internet search showed that all those listed are "out of stock". So my plan is to try and pick up an AR that some "zombie killer" {clay pit shooting at 25 -30 Yds} and now can't find / afford ammo and needs $$...

    Stiffer uppers ?

    I see those that build and sell 6AR ,6 ARC, ect.list using STIFFER uppers, and I'm wondering if this is just a selling ploy, since there are so many DIY 6 and 6.5 Grindle size case AR's built from a varied selection of uppers

    .308 Winchester

    You must have a Tikka, with the 2.960 oal ? as that is the length of my 175 NCC's and SMK's. I'm still working on testing bullets seated to "normal" 2.80 length to see if the long jump with 155's & 168 NCC's & SMK's effect's accuracy.

    **6 Creedmoor**

    An old chart I have shows H 414 shows it as being on the same line as AA 2700 and VVN 540. The chart also shows it as being faster the I 4350 and H 4350. Just have to "google"burn rate charts and see if any of the older ones show it. I think they stopped making it so it's not showing up on any...

    Trick to Clean Lanolin off Brass!

    Before investing in the lanolin set up, I'll try the generic on Imperial case lube, which is my go to lube on 1X 308 cases fired from bolt guns. Nothing seams to remove that lube from cases

    .308 Winchester

    Starting to load test loads for a Tikka TAC A1, I find that I can load 168's and 175/178's to an OAL of 2.93" (+-) and they function through the Mag. For Tikka owners, have you found loading to the longer OAL offers better accuracy that the 2.8" (+) OAL that functions through 308 AR Mags ...
