    Sounds short chambered to me. Had the same thing happen.

    Gunsmithing Can a 20” Tikka be threaded without removing the barrel?

    I thread all my barrels and don’t take them off.

    Suppressors Reasons NOT to direct thread?

    Didn’t lots of people have issues with the early 45 tooth locking systems coming loose? In my eyes direct thread takes other variables out of the equation that could potentially fail. I thread my own barrels so I know exactly what the threads are going to be.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Midas TAC 4-16x44 first impressions, and final review at bottom of thread.

    I just got my Midas tac 4-16 yesterday from Doug at camera land. First and foremost he’s got my business for life - awesome guy. Secondly, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this scope. The turrets are the best I’ve ever felt. The positive click is like someone smacks your hand. You...

    Suppressors Suppressor High Temp Cover or Not

    I went with cole-tac because I like the customization they offer. I forwent the cinch cord because I thought the straps would be enough. It slides..... but I love it

    Rifle Scopes Newbie - Need Recommendations for FFP Scope (<$1,000) for Precision 22 LR Rifle

    Glad I found this post. I just got off the phone with Doug @ cameraland and am glad I made the call. He hooked me up with a Midas tac for my new RPR .22 trainer. Beat the best price I could find.

    Craddock Precision .224V Upper Barrel Question

    I ordered the Craddock Percision criterion but in 24”. I’m not sweeping houses or I’d get a 16”.

    Peterson Brass? Anybody running it?

    This is 10 shots from 100 yards from a savage.... gasp, using Peterson brass. That circle is 3/4” for reference.

    Peterson Brass? Anybody running it?

    I just purchased 750 Peterson SRP 6.5 cases. I did a trial run of 100 and felt the quality was on par with Lapua. I'm on my 4th firing of pretty warm loads and the majority of my primer pockets feel snug. The customer service is fantastic. I purchased lapua and was short several pieces which...

    .224 Valkyrie

    In regards to .224 VK bolt gun: I thought about that too, but then I realize I would probably rather have a fast twist 22 250

    Powder other than H4350 for 20" 6.5 Creed?

    I shoot over a magnetospeed. H4350 41.8g is the most accurate charge weight for me in both pederson and lapua brass. Using the same brass, 47.7g of R26 gets me 2909 but it is rough on primer pockets. Using Hornady brass, I went up to 48g + using R26 and didn’t gain anything. I was honestly...

    Powder other than H4350 for 20" 6.5 Creed?

    Wow, let me try and make that more clear for simple folks.... I have tried 4831sc along with other people I shoot with and we have gotten pressure before desired velocity. So.... it doesn’t work well in my specific rifle. Lay off the corn dogs.... ?

    .224 Valkyrie

    It’s been a long 10 month fight with Airborne Arms but they finally agreed to buy back the barrel. I shot every factory load offering and hundreds of hand loads. Ryan Morgan from Airborne Arms assembled the upper. I measured the freebore and it is 1.8290”

    .224 Valkyrie

    Stay away from airborne arms. I'm stuck with my piece of shit Airborne Arms "premium" pathfinder barrel . I've requested warranty work because they have a 1 MOA guarantee. The best group I've ever gotten in 650 rounds is not any better then a 4 year old could get with a sling shot. Its a...

    I’m almost embarrassed to say.... So I’m trying to “bond” with my dad and we got the same rifles and I’m reloading for him. He’s just getting into shooting. It’s a savage axis xp (new design) 22” varmint, urban digital camo. I threaded our barrels and put a break on his. I run a suppressor. The...
