    Subsonic accuracy

    I wonder if a wad cutter would work? Maybe something like the woodleigh hydrostatics line. Some Barnes bullets and my lathe might be in order. I did go to the range Friday and sucked it up! Best was just over an inch worst was over two. With the blackout. The 458socom did better right at the...

    Gunsmithing Barrel shortening question? Might be a dumb question...

    Accuracy should not be affected . Your load may need to be tuned to the shorter barrel length. The set up was built by the gentleman I bought my lathe from. He had a milling rotary table where the gearing crapped out. He build new bearings for it ,ditched the base and it is now a "chuck...

    Gunsmithing Barrel shortening question? Might be a dumb question...

    Gunsmithing Barrel shortening question? Might be a dumb question...

    I did something similar with a Mauser I just got done with. I put the action in the chuck and used a steady rest on the muzzle end. Dialed off the bor and cut away. I kept the rpm really slow . Went slow and light cuts . No issues I could see or tell shooting. Good luck

    http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?55807-243-AI-headspace This is the reason the last three ai rifle I built I used a set of gauges from the reamer maker. Easier and the duplicity does not bug me. With standard cartridges I use the technique mentioned above with a feeler gauge. More of a why...

    Subsonic accuracy

    I have been working very hard with 300 blackout savage bolt gun over the last year to wring all the accuracy I can out of* this little cartridge. I have had decent luck with supersonic loads averaging between .25- .35 for five shots when using high end bullets and .3-.4 with standard off the...

    Re: We need a new Spokesman for NRA... With all the hollywood types willing to sell themselves out to the highest bidder why don't we get one of them to take the job of press secretary . Nothing like one of their own to rattle cages.
