    Gunsmithing help with 80% CNC build...

    Agreed on the safety hole being a smidge low, it doesn't take much at all to throw things out of whack.

    It's still there. Press the menu button on your phone while in the tab where you input your current environment, target distance, etc. It'll pop up along with a few other options.

    See what your county got from the military

    My county got several M4's, an armored truck (WTF), and 2 Grenade Launchers (again......WTF). The item that bothers me the most.....................a fucking parka. No doubt it was for Eddie Cathy's fat ass, and there's no way he's getting out in the rain. That parka is probably rotting in his...

    Issues with Lapua Brass (Updated with Pics)

    Agreed, it's 100% not a neck clearance issue. Op, drop the charge 1.5 grains or even 2 and rework it. You're way past sane pressure levels there.

    Are there any AICS compatible mags (.308) that allow for longer oal?

    No, you'll destroy the magazine. The spot welds need to be drilled out with a 1/4" drill bit, then the front plate can be removed and the holes tig welded closed to keep the nose of the bullets from hanging up in there. Or what I did was drill out the spot welds and epoxied a piece of .035"...

    20" 260, Which Bullet?

    I ran 123 Amax's and 140BTHP's in my 20" 260 with H4350 with good results, but the 130's would have been an outstanding choice as well. 2800fps is doable with 4350 I would think, I had 140's over 2700 easily with a load that wasn't hard on the brass.

    Movie Theater Expendibles 3

    I'm with BoilerUp. None of them have been great examples of anything the actors in them have done, but rather something to watch when you just want to have a laugh and see shit explode. I feel sure they had no intentions of becoming gleaming beacons of cinematic history, but rather that mole on...

    Issues with Lapua Brass (Updated with Pics)

    It's possible that the chamber dimensions are too tight in the neck for you to run Lapua brass unless you turn the necks. Take a piece of once fired Lapua and see if you can slip a projectile into the neck, if not then you'll have to turn the necks down a couple thousandths to get them the room...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns ameriglo Hackathorn sights

    Got a set on my G17, can't say I have anything bad to say about them. Narrow front + wide rear notch to let plenty of light into your sight picture, nothing on the rear sight to distract you from where you should be focusing, and that big orange ball up front screaming "hey stupid, up here, look...

    6x45 Bolt Gun

    Never tried the VMax, as they were too long to feed in my AR, but the 87gr BTHP's served me well in my 24" 9 twist 6x45. Pushing them right up around 2900fps with 8208XBR spelled bad days for many coyotes and anchored them with authoritah. That same load served me pretty well out to 775(ish) in...

    Rookie mistakes

    Always dial your elevation back to zero after completing a stage and before going to the next stage in a match. I didn't do this at Woody's last year and on the range estimation stage, I sent a 123gr Amax about a mil and a half over the 300 yard target. Instead of looking at my dial, I counted...

    Finally got my 260 rebarreled

    Left the chrono at home for the last couple range trips, one less thing to mess with setting up, and ended up finding a damn fine load at 42.4gr R17 pushing the 130 VLD's. David cut the chamber with a 260 Remington Match reamer which lets me seat the Bergers at 2.870" for .022" jump and doesn't...

    .243 Winchester Powder

    That last primer pocket reminds me of a girl I met outside Ft Leonard Wood........ Back on topic. I've had good luck with H4350 in the 243 as well.

    Having trouble working up a load...could use some advice.

    This is an issue, you can't "think" how far you are seating a VLD into/off of the lands. They're sensitive to seating depth and will shoot like absolute ass if they're not in the sweet spot. You have to know where they are in relation to the lands, or you may as well throw them downrange and...

    Which bullet in a 260/6.5 for UKD shooting?

    My opinion, the 123's and 130's give up nothing to the 140's until they get way out there. I'm sticking with 139 VLD's until I burn out this barrel or I can no longer reach the lands. I had mine cut with the 260 Rem Match (not tactical match) reamer and can run the VLD's at 2.875" to be .020"...

    Finally got my 260 rebarreled

    bjay nailed it. It's from XLR and works great, looks better than a Karsten as well in my opinion. Kyle gets $25 for them, plus shipping.

    Finally got my 260 rebarreled

    After the frustration with the last AAC barrel, I broke down and ordered me a blank from ThirdGen and started hunting a local 'smith that I could trust to not fuck it up. I have to say, David Sink is outstanding to deal with and had my barreled action back to me in 3 weeks and was on vacation...

    Should I change my current build from 6.5cm to 260?

    Lapua, Norma, and Nosler brass is easy to catch in stock for the 260 at almost any vendor. RP brass has dried up and has been basically unobtainable for over a year. Hornady and Nosler are making brass for the Creedmoor and either is usually fairly easy to find. Other than the availability of...
