    My buddy is getting 3000+ FPS with a 26” barrel with no pressure signs using R26 and 140 ELDMs

    Training Courses K&M comprehensive course

    I just signed up for the K&M Comprehensive Precision Rifle Course (4 days) in June with a buddy. Is anyone else going? We are traveling from Ohio. We both have military experience and shoot out to 1000 yards often. For those that have attended this class what should we expect? How was your...

    .224 Valkyrie

    AR that I built. This was at thunder valley in Ohio yesterday. We had a few hours of good shooting in the morning before the wind really picked up and the rain came. We played on steel for a while and walked down range to hang targets. By the time I saw this group and made adjustments the wind...

    .224 Valkyrie

    To clarify: I have a criterion 24" heavy profile with a +2 gas system and an advanced LWRC bolt. I shot all the loads over a magnetospeed using the thinnest supplied shim with the sensor on H2. While shooting the 77s I got anywhere from 2800fps to over 3000fps with cfe223 26.5g. I made it clear...

    .224 Valkyrie

    Just going by word of mouth from other reloaders that I trust who taught me... cci primers are “stronger” as such that Winchester and federal primers can be pierced with warm loads where cci will not. Again I have no proof of this but cci has treated me well and I plan on sticking with them...

    .224 Valkyrie

    There is an article floating around where cci standard vs benchrest showed no difference in performance. I have since changed from BR to standard. The magnum primer increased pressure drastically while miminamaly gaining velocity so that’s not a good choice in my opinion.

    .224 Valkyrie

    No reversal. I shot awesome groups at 100 yards with my new setup. I have also seen extreme spreads of over 200 FPS. My velocity with77SMT over 26.5g CFE223 average was 2880. I had some 2700s and a few over 3000. I loaded up a bunch more of the same load without any crimp and seated in .010”...

    .224 Valkyrie

    I have experienced extreme variations in speed with CFE223, like 200 + fps variations with the same charge. Im interested in trying Re 16

    .224 Valkyrie

    I shot my craddock precision for the 1st time today. No load development, just tested .5g increments of CFE223 on the lands. 5 shots @100 yards. 77g Sierra tipped over 26.5g of CFE223. I’m sold.

    Ruger Precision Rimfire

    It’s a $400 rifle. It’s an awesome $400 rifle. As a trainer I find it valuable. Some people act like they expect it to perform like a $4k rifle. Get over it, shoot it to have fun.

    Magpul Bi-pod’s ...Good, bad or other??

    I don’t think the feet are compatible with others. I feel like it locks up better then my atlas. I do wish it had 45 degree capabilities.

    UM22 discontinued/alternative

    I just got a .22 RPR and tried 8 different types of ammo and the ultra match was the clear winner. I guess I want to find something that is good AND isn’t going to be extinct soon. I’ll try some wolf target extra, it is apparently made by lapua, and also some eley black/tenex

    UM22 discontinued/alternative

    With the federal ultra match .22lr being discontinued is there an alternative? Has anyone compared RWS R50?

    Hornady 4DOF vs. Everything else

    I was pretty frustrated using the 4DOF application the last time I was out.

    Ruger Precision Rimfire

    I took out my main trigger spring (5mm x 18mm) and replaced it with a spring from a bic pen slightly stretched to 18mm. The safety works as it should. The rifle will not fire unless the safety blade is depressed. The trigger pull is 1 pound. The rifle would not cock upon bolt lift unless the...
