    Replacement barrel options/thoughts?

    One of the most accurate barrels I have ever owned was a Spikes LW-50 fluted 18" 1:8 twist. That thing was a laser. The next best for me have been the Wilson Combat barrels. I have had 3 of them (one currently on my DMR) and they are fabulous for the money. If you can get that Lothar Walther...

    Which powder for 20" barrel

    Sure if you can find Varget. It's like the White Rhino. I've used and Chronoed them all. While Varget is a great powder for the .308 and very stable it's unavailability makes it less than useless. The powder with the best velocity is Alliants Power Pro 2000MR followed by CFE it's close...

    Advanced Marksmanship Whose has the best Snipers?

    Granted this is coming from someone who has never served so my ignorance is limited by my total addiction to reading everything "Military". But would not the definition of "best" sniper be the one who completes the mission, no matter how difficult? There are lots of examples of impossible...

    Factory 2nds or Blems??

    Powder Valleys are great. Graffs are not. Of the 500 175's I bought about 20% where 155's. They also were clearly blems whereas with PV's you could hardly tell.

    2000 MR - what primer?

    I have found no difference in the ES, SD or Velocity between the BR2 and standard CCI200 so I no longer spend the extra money. I have been using the CCI200 under 47g of 2000MR with the 175g SMK or 178 Amax. Either Lapua or Lake City brass. They run 2830 out of my 26" barrel with an SD of 12...

    458 SOCOM AR Build

    I assembled one a couple years ago. Never purchased any factory ammo just bought a couple hundred of the Starline brass and made my own rounds. It fed reliable out of a Pmag and never had any issues with it. It was fun as hell to shoot but also really expensive to shoot (and reload). The...

    A must have for the urban warrior

    If I was ever to own an airsoft rifle I'd be all over that like Justin Bieber on TMZ! :D

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST clarity

    I run a 6-24 PST on my XLR 260. It's MOA/MOA in FFP. I like it for the reticle and zero stop. With an FFP scope there is no reason not to have the higher magnification since the reticle is correct at any mag level. When doing load testing or doing dot drills at 100 yards I like to have it...

    Barrel Break In and Cleaning Questions

    I break in my barrels like I break in my motorcycles. Judicious application of throttle!

    Gunsmithing Cerakote color advice needed

    :cool: That's my rifle. I experimented with 19scout77's idea. That's my rifle. It is a 50-50 blend of Magpul OD green and Titanium. I was worried the metallic would not come through but it really did. What it needs is a coat of micro clear. The metallics look bad azz when wet but once...

    Need Pictures of Fluted Barrels

    Here are a few of mine. Bull barrel fluted by Kampfield Custom. 6 full length flutes which took 1lb off the 26" barrel. Cerakoted the flutes. 18" Lothar Walther with titanium Cerakote. 20" .308 also done by Kampfield. In titanium Cerakote.

    .308 Gas Gun load with 175's - Powder Question

    I have an exceptional load for my bolt gun using Power Pro 2000MR I have been shooting for awhile. My supply of PP is gone and now I can't find it anywhere. I guess the cat is out of the bag. DOH! Anyway I scored 8lbs of both CFE223 and AR Comp. I read that CFE is very close to Power...

    Coyote Caliber

    I'm also running a fast twist 22-250 shooting heavies. 80g Amax, SMK or Berger VLD Hunting. 3220 FPS out of a 26" 1:8 twist match barrel. Only a 28 MOA drop at 1K yards. At 300 it's POA. Good deer round too. Head shot a doe at 230y last month. :cool:

    Stainless tumbling options

    Nope. Fill it up with brass to about 4" from the top, fill it with hot water then run it for about 4 hours. They come out looking like new. I think using more pins allows me to use more brass.

    Stainless tumbling options

    That kit will do the trick. I have all the same stuff but a Thumblers B model. I found that going heavy on the pins does a better job. I have 9lbs in mine and it works faster. You can get the Lemishine at Walmart and the trick with the Lemishine is not too much. I use a .45 ACP case full of...

    All Done!! (pic heavy)

    Very Nice! Nice Cerakote work. Razor would be nice but the PST would be fine. IMHO
