    Making .300 blk from .223

    Re: Making .300 blk from .223 Like armor said, but with a small change. There's a guy over on 300blktalk.com that makes a caseholder specifically for the HF mini chop saw that makes cutting the cases easy as pie. Once you set it up, it's much faster than anything else I've tried and much more...

    20" 6.5?

    Re: 20" 6.5? I'm not running the 142's yet, but my 20" 260 is showing 2900+ during initial load testing with H4350 and 123gr Amax's.

    Finally: Almost finished with my budget rig

    Re: Finally: Almost finished with my budget rig Just got back home and crunched some numbers. It was cold as hell here this morning and the wind is kicking pretty good so I didn't shoot for any groups on this trip, mainly checking velocities. I was a bit nervous about the 20" 260 at first...

    Finally: Almost finished with my budget rig

    I've been itching for another bolt gun that didn't feel like I was swinging an 8' 2x4 for a while now. I already have a 20" 308, so I figured I'd do something in another caliber and decided on a 260 Rem after some soul searching (and a LOT of 'hide searching) I finally ended up with a 24" AAC...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat & Rust

    Re: Duracoat & Rust I agree with suburbanhick. I do all of my own Duracoat, Cerakote, and KG Gunkote and the Cerakote is top notch in durability. When you think you have all of the oil off the gun, scuff it and degrease it again. The prep time is the hard part, spraying it takes no time at...

    What do you use when trimming/chamfering brass?

    Re: What do you use when trimming/chamfering brass? I'll fire up the Gracey for big batches. If it's only 50 or so, I use an RCBS TrimPro unless the correct die is already in the Gracey.

    123gr Amax and the .260?

    Re: 123gr Amax and the .260? I'll be trying these out myself very soon. My barreled action is on the way back from LongRifles now, then I just have to massage my barrel channel for the new barrel. I hope they shoot, I've got 500 of them and only one rifle with a 6.5mm bore.

    Small Magnum Pistol primers in place of Small?

    Re: Small Magnum Pistol primers in place of Small? I use them in 9mm with bullseye. I dropped back and reworked the load when i ran out of regular SP primers. I ended up right back where i started for charge weight, lower ES, lower SD, and only a 4fps increase in MV over an average of 25 rounds.

    Reloder 19 & IMR 4831 in 260 Rem

    Re: Reloder 19 & IMR 4831 in 260 Rem Looks like the R19 would work for both. http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/powderlist.aspx?type=1&powderid=13&cartridge=61

    Need help naming AR-15 malfunction (Thanks gotit!)

    Re: Need help naming AR-15 malfunction That's a bolt override. Most of the time, it's a faulty magazine that'll cause this. The next round ejects from the magazine while the bolt is still rearward, instead of the bolt stripping the round from the magazine, and wedges itself between the bolt...

    6x45

    Re: 6x45 I'd say your velocity goals will be within reach. I was running 87gr BTHP's from Hornady at 2930 from a 24" Blackhole Weaponry (3groove/poly rifling) barrel in my AR. I actually got about 30fps more from 87gr Berger VLD's, both running 26gr of 8208 in LC brass. I hope you have a...

    Replacing SPS Tactical Rail and Good Scope?

    Re: Replacing SPS Tactical Rail and Good Scope? You're not going to find a scope for $300 or less that's going to do very well at 800 yards, you're going to have to bump that budget up a couple hundred dollars at least. If Midway still has them in stock, the 5-15 Vortex Viper is a great scope...

    Do I have a "slow rifle"?

    Re: Do I have a "slow rifle"? If you can't get the speed with R15 and are willing to try another powder, look for some Alliant 2000MR. 2700+ fps is easy with 175 SMK's and 2000MR. I'm running 178gr AMAX's at 2746fps from my 26" barreled PSS.

    Rifle Scopes Grr.. Viper HS 50mm right height help needed.

    Re: Grr.. Viper HS 50mm right height help needed. I use a trick I read about on here. Stack some pennys on the rail and set your scope on them, stack more/remove as necessary until the scope is where you want it. Remove scope, measure stack, order rings

    Re: 30 mm rings- What are you using? I'm running the Vortex branded Seekins rings on my 308. Haven't had anything to complain about so far.
