    What contributes to ES and SD beside the obvious?

    I was out shooting this weekend trying to find a load for two separate rifles both in .35 Whelen. I had several lots of ammo I had reloaded. Long story short both rifles shot very well with one particular load so I attached the magneto speed to get some velocity numbers. One of the rifles has a...

    30-06 147gr stability issues

    I wasn’t being a smart ass when I said that was “pretty good.” You mentioned you loaded it to duplicate the load for your m1 garand and loaded it 4895, I’m betting your powder charge is somewhere in the 45 to 47 grain range. That leaves a lot of room for powder to go wherever it wants in the...

    30-06 147gr stability issues

    A 4 inch group at 200 yards with pulled 147 grain m80 bullets. I’d say that’s pretty good.

    SAKO TRG-42 factory trigger replacement

    I should have worded that differently. The first stage is nonexistent in the fired state. There is about .125 inches of rearward travel in the uncocked state.

    SAKO TRG-42 factory trigger replacement

    Just grabbed mine. The pic without the ruler is in the cocked position one pic is with the ruler in the cocked position and one is in the fired position. There is some movement in the post fired state, maybe .125 inches but nothing near like the first stage in the cocked position. Hope this helps.

    LMT feed issues

    What mags are you using? From the picture of the cartridge it looks like they are oriented nose down in the mag.

    Will a Ruger American barrel fit a Tikka action?

    The threads are the same pitch and diameter but tenon lengths are likely different. The Ruger barrel might be okay on a tikka due to the barrel nut and having a variable shoulder.

    AI .308

    I’m my AT im running the 168 sierra tmk with an oal of 2.915, cbto is 2.235. I’m my chamber this puts me .030 off the lands. Shoots very well. It also shoots the 175 mk equally well at the standard 2.81. I use 41.6 grains of ar comp in Norma brass with a br-2 primer for the 168 and 40.3 for the...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    Funny story. I was just out shooting this afternoon. Had some 125 Speer TNT’s loaded up with with 50 gr of CFE 223 in mixed year nato brass with WLR primers. I had never shot that load on paper. It was just a cheap load for blasting. That same ACC shoots them into 1.375 5 shot groups. I thought...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    175 smk federal 1x brass CCI #34 44.8 gr staball match 2.80 OAL. 10 round string on the magneto speed gave me 2439 fps for an average. ES was 37, SD was 12.3. This was shot out of a SR 25 ACC 16 bbl. 5 shot groups were right at 1.25. That’s about as good as anything shoots in it.

    Talk to me about 358 Winchester

    I live in Iowa too and hopped on the .358 bandwagon. I’m really liking the Barnes 180 ttsx, my gun has a 22 inch tube and I’m able to get them into the 2750 fps range with H 335. I also played with the Hornady 200 ftx and Win 748, I’m able to get these to 2550 or so. Either one and it is a very...

    Which 6Arc barrel?

    Just got back from shooting today. Had an AR 15 out with a BA barrel on it nothing fancy, it has an 18 inch spr profile in 5.56. I had shot it a few times before today but never sat down to see what it could do. Groups at 100 yards looked more like shotgun patterns with imi 77 grainers. I know...

    SR25 barrel swap.

    I evaluated what was important to me and decided durability was paramount. The sr25 that I do own is an EC. I love the looks not so much the weight. It is an absolute hammer. I consistently get .875 moa with ten round strings at 100. Out to 700 it can't be beat for a 16 inch gas gun. I have...
