    Issues with 223 bighorn tl3

    One of the places you probably heard that was me. I read someone bring it up on Accurate Shooter, so when ordering my Origin I mentioned it to Ray. He didn't say one way or the other if it was recommended, just said they could do the push feed head for me. For all I know the company might not...

    New Sierra 169gr SMK (.30)

    Sierra really screwed up on this one. Instead of being about the new bullet most of this thread is about orders, packaging, and refunds. Not faulting anyone for sharing by any means, its just that their rollout of the new 169 was pretty horrible from what I've seen. Sounds like a great bullet...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Lighting is terrible, but you should be able to get an idea. Vs the Helical Diamond on my other. Honestly, if you want to try the extended spiral and decide you don't like it, shoot me a message and I'd trade the helical below with you.

    Best Predator Hunting Caliber

    Not this shit again. Nobody is claiming a 270, 30-30, or any other round isn't capable of taking these types of animals. But there are better tools for the job now. You just recommended a long action cartridge that uses 50% more powder than anything listed here which would be using bullets that...

    GA Precision 22 GT

    This is great. Maybe I missed it, but what velocity are you getting with these?

    Thoughts on Magpul PRS Lite?

    Hopefully not following the same schedule as their 223 AICS mags, which were introduced about a year ago and still not released.

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    If anyone is thinking about which knob to run, I'm a huge fan of the Extended Spiral on my new Origin. Have the Helical Diamond on my first Origin and, while it's still really nice, most likely will be switching it out.

    Origin Control Round Feed Not Working

    Ughh.... why would I need to do that? Tried with virgin and 2x Lapua, new and 1x Hornady, and some other range pickup I had on hand.

    Origin Control Round Feed Not Working

    Since I don't think I'm explaining this great, here's a picture. Red is where the case heads are getting hung up. Measurement is 0.463". Case heads are about 0.469". Yellow is pointing to where it's tearing up the rim trying to seat.

    Origin Control Round Feed Not Working

    Thanks, I should clarify, the bolt face is large enough for the case head, Just the very bottom portion that is cut away for the round to enter underneath the extractor, if I'm understanding how it's supposed to work.

    Origin Control Round Feed Not Working

    Just installed and headspaced a 6.5 Creed CBI barrel on my new Origin. This Origin is my second, with my first using a special push feed bolt head for 223 Ackley. Now I'm having some trouble with the new control feed standard head. My understanding is the rounds are supposed to strip and enter...

    What mag kit to use for 6br,6 dasher, 6bra

    @Tyler Kemp , you guys still working on your BR mag kits or did I miss them? I remember seeing a post of yours a year or two ago about these.

    ar15 for yote hunting

    I'd get whatever completed lower you find (or use an existing) and throw a Craddock complete upper in 224 Valkyrie on it. Or save some money and just get the barrel from them and assemble the upper. Also have been thinking it would be fun to pick up a 6 ARC and use some of the lighter 243...

    224 Valkyrie vs 220 Thunderbolt

    Damn, this is tempting after my 223AI barrel is shot out.

    6mm ARC Brass Forming

    How much success are people having turning 7.62x39 into 6 ARC? Any need to turn necks if doing it? Don't even have an ARC yet, but think it might be something fun to try.
