    Newbie Question on Load Development for Gas Gun

    I've had a good deal of experience developing loads for precision bolt action rifles but have been very frustrated in developing a load for my newly acquired JP LRP-07. I expected that both shooting and loading for a gas gun would be more complex than for a bolt action rifle and that was...

    Larue 7.62 Magazines?

    So far no joy on the replacements - I'll post a followup after trying them out. The one mag that was tough to lock/release seems to be getting smoother with use and feeds/functions well otherwise so it may just be a matter of wearing in.

    Larue 7.62 Magazines?

    This may be a YMMFsituation but I tried the ASC mags based on these comments - one locks and releases only with considerable pressure. The other pops right in and locks but falls out after firing one round. Not too impressive. ASC is sending a couple replacements but unless they have a secret...

    Modular Trigger on JP LRP-07

    Thanks for that input. I was curious about the install since JP uses oversized trigger pins. The TT instructions mention that the holes in the trigger may need to reamed. So I guess that wasn’t necessary?

    Modular Trigger on JP LRP-07

    I'm thinking about replacing the standard single stage component trigger on my LRP-07 with a TriggerTech AR10 modular fire control unit. Reasons: I prefer a two-stage pull for precision fire, a lighter pull than 3.5-4# and a flat curved trigger bar as opposed to the roller supplied with the...

    Feedback on XLR TR-2 Buttstock

    After reading positive comments, I decided to order one even though they were "Out of Stock" - just got shipping notice, arriving in 2 days! :giggle:

    Opinions on what press i should buy

    To get back to the point of the OP-- I use an BB2 for 308 and 6.5CM - it works great and produces highly concentric and accurate loads. I like the primer handling and offset - the main reasons I chose this press. In answer to your question, it is not "too big". IMHO, Dillons are good for high...

    Feedback on XLR TR-2 Buttstock

    I'm thinking about putting this stock on a JP LRP-07. I'd like to hear from anyone that uses this stock on an AR or as part of XLR's chassis. I'm particularly interested in how solid the cheekpiece feels and whether there is any noticeable flex in the top of the buttplate (which is not supported...

    Loading 6.5CM for A Semi Auto

    After many years of reloading and shooting BA rifles exclusively, I acquired a JP LRP-07 in 6.5CM and need some advice in getting started reloading for it. There are some obvious differences in loading for a BA vs SA rifle, including: -Optimal powder charge is not determined by chrono data and...

    How to Choose Scope Mount for AR10

    Thanks for all the comments. Based on them I've decided to go with: Cantilever - I may not need it for the large frame since I'll probably get a dedicated mount for my small frame AR but seems like no downside to having it 20 MOA - I normally shoot my bolt guns to 900+ meters so that would be...

    How to Choose Scope Mount for AR10

    I recently purchased a JP LRP-09 and am in the process of selecting a mount for the ATACR 4-16 scope I plan to use on it. My past experience with mounts and rings has been exclusively with bolt action rifles, and I've realized that little of that experience seems to translate to selecting a...

    Fired or Sized Case When Measuring COAL

    My thought was like yours - fully prepped case will fit the chamber better.

    Fired or Sized Case When Measuring COAL

    I use a Sinclair tool to measure max COAL and calculate max CBTO. The instructions say to use a fired case and that's what I've always done. It occurred to me recently that a fire formed/cleaned/annealed/sized case might provide a more accurate value since such a case would fit the chamber and...

    Change in Brass = Increased Pressure?

    The case lengths of both the new Alpha and resized Lapua are 2.005. I didn't measure the shoulder since I assumed that any significant difference there would be reflected in case volume. I ran a quick simulation in Quickload using my Lapua load parameters - one grain decrease in case volume...

    "Best" Semi-Auto Precision Rifle

    I know this may be like Silverado vs F150 or Bud vs Coors but I'm interested in adding a 6.5CM/308 semi-auto precision rifle to my bolt action guns. I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'd like any input into what constitutes the "best"...
