    HK MR556 A4 a quick review with some links to videos

    I shot m855 through a cut rifled 5R Bartlein today, best 5 round group was.1.53", which is the best five round group I've ever shot with that ammo. I was genuinely just curious how it would do, it's 2-3 Moa in my other AR'S

    Bartlein barrel from Craddock Precision, 16" 223 Wylde, quick review

    I just received a Bartlein barrel from Craddock Precision. It's a 16" 1:7 twist, cut rifled 5R stainless steel mid-length. 750" GB. I don't have a good scale, but I think it's listed at 2.1 pounds. I'm going to send this barrel off to have it converted by D Wilson to work with my LMT MRP, but...

    SPR Decisions. LMT MRP vs HK MR556 A4

    The LMT with a converted Proof SS barrel would be my choice. I have a Bartlien/Craddock barrel on the way to be converted for my new LMT MRP. The HK is said to shoot very well from the factory, if you were retaining factory barrels, I would chose the HK between the two.

    Suppressor causing thin barrel to droop for first round - which replacement barrel?

    I don't have any experience with that particular AAC can, but one thing I noticed about some of their older cans was the lock up wasn't super tight. Sometimes it would be in between flash hider teeth, there would be some wobble. Have you checked to make sure you have it cranked down as tightly...

    Quick review of 16" Criterion Hybrid 416R Nitrided barrel, 1:8" twist, .223 Wylde, midlength

    I've been meaning to post a range report for this barrel, a .223 Wylde 1:8" 16" Criterion Hybrid 416r stainless steel mid-length barrel that is factory nitrided. I've had this set up for well over a year, I'm somewhere between 600 and 1,000 rounds down range. I've experimented with a lot of...

    Mandrel size help

    I use an inside the neck sizing mandrel for autoloaders. I size the neck .003" under bullet diameter for AR platform rifles and have had great luck with these: https://21stcenturyinnovation.com/buy-online/ols/products/caliber-specific-expander-mandrel There are too many variations in neck wall...

    NEW- Geissele King Hunter

    The one review video I saw discussed, the guys said that standard reloading equipment will work. They said that it uses faster burning powder than what is used traditionally in this size case in order to achieve 80,000 PSI I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon too early, but I am intrigued as...

    NEW- Geissele King Hunter

    I will admit it, I am interested in this rifle and in this new cartridge. I'm going to hold off until some first hand trusted feedback is available, reloading is also huge to me, so I need to learn more about that. I've heard that the case uses faster burning powder to reach the 80k PSI...

    Accuracy loads for LRP-07 6.5 creed

    41.5 grains of H4350 and a Hornady 140 ELD-M works well in every 6.5 CM I've tried. It's my baseline load when I get a new 6.5 rifle. My LMT MWS 6.5 CM DMR likes 42.3 grains of H4350 and a 130 gr Berger Hybrid. Both of these loads do very well when loaded shorter than 2.82" COL which is the...

    Badger C1 vs C1 Max

    I have both and I like both a lot. I use the C1 Max on a bolt gun and regular C1 on AR's. They are both rock solid.

    Geissele's New Heavy Barrel and SOLGW Broadsword project. (Up Date, 1st Load development session 18DEC24))

    Keep these posts coming, this info is great. I'm going to pick one of these barrels up on Friday and have D Wilson convert it to LMT.

    Geissele's New Heavy Barrel and SOLGW Broadsword project. (Up Date, 1st Load development session 18DEC24))

    Have you worked up any hand loads yet? Your review is the only detailed review I can find online, so valuable and helpful! Thank you for taking the time to post everything. I have a brand new LMT 16" 5.56 rifle that I just shot for the first time this weekend. Accuracy seems mediocre (at best)...

    LMT 6.5 MWS range report (12/01/24 update)

    It's funny, the first time I shot this thing I was so disappointed in it's accuracy. I was getting between 2-3 MOA my first time out with it. I detached and reset the barrel, bought a fancy torque wrench, changed the trigger, cleaned the shit out of it, bought a borescope, I was looking for...

    LMT 6.5 MWS range report (12/01/24 update)

    This rifle continues to impress me. I figured I'd get with the times and start shooting 10 round groups at 100 yards. Shot a .816" just before dark, 10 Rounds on a cold very clean barrel:

    LMT 6.5 MWS range report (12/01/24 update)

    I spent another lunch break with the LMT today. I recently added a factory LMT muzzle brake, just a heads up they are clearing these out on their website for $25, they were usually $135. I had to get a shim kit separately. I used dead air, but surefire is probably a better option as it includes...

    Geissele's New Heavy Barrel and SOLGW Broadsword project. (Up Date, 1st Load development session 18DEC24))

    This is great info, I'm going to take a drive to Euro optic in the coming days and pick one of these up. My intent is to convert it to work with LMT MRP, D Wilson has a pretty good reputation for that sort of work

    LMT 6.5 MWS range report (12/01/24 update)

    I've been shooting this rifle a lot, so I thought I would provide an update. Today was the first day I shot a large frame AR in truly cold weather. It was about 25°, with a pretty steady 10- 12 mph wind, wind chill was about 16°. Good times, but a good learning experience. I had my Geissele...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I don't have one of these rifles, but I've loaded a ton of 77 SMK'S using IMR 8202 XBR. I've settled on 23.5 grains which is well under 1 MOA in my primary AR and no worse than 1.25 in anything I've ever tried, it also gives just under MK262 velocity. 23.8 sounds a little spicy, you can do...

    Reloading precision .223 for the first time. Help if you can...

    I've experimented with a few different powders and bullets, IMR 8208 XBR between 23.3 -23.5 and 77 grain SMK'S set at around 2.250" work really well for me. These are well under 1 MOA in my primary AR's, and even 1.25ish in average barrels. Velocity is very good, just under mk262, around 2,690...

    Geissele Heavy Barrels. (Update 28OCT24)

    I'm bouncing back and forth between that Builder kit, or buying an LMT MRP and sending one of these barrels off to D Wilson for LMT conversion
