    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I cut the stock back to match the ejection port on the action on the other side. About 5 minutes with a file and some touch up paint looks good enough

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    The grip feels thin compared to the HS precision on my Rem 700 police 338L. Very comfortable though. Foreend on this is pretty fat I'd prefer a bit thinner for a hunting rifle but that wasnt my intention for this rifle.

    Its a Greyboe Ridgeback......Bergara gives them away I think I paid $360 from them with bottom metal on a recent sale. It weighs 11# 2oz as it sits.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Found a box of 308s I loaded with 125gr TNT WC844 as a ladder/OCW test. My 20" seemed to like them around 2975fps. I probably won't bother loading them again with that powder because of the extreme spreads but the 125 TNT looks promising for blowing up varmints. I have a box of 500 125gr Game...

    338 ARC

    I'm curious what it'll do with supers in a 12.5".....I'll let someone else do the testing before I start ordering parts. Subs don't interest me that much.

    Short barrel cartridges

    I had a 16.75" 30-06 that would push a 165gr to 2725 fps. My 20" 308s are shooting 169s at about 2650fps (they will go faster but I like that load). 16" 338 federal has been around 2425fps with a 200gr and around 2475fps with a 185gr. 16" AR 6.8spc with 90s is about 2850fps and 110gr about...

    Good points. My buddy has laser could definitely do that. Or I have 1000 58gr VMAX bullets on the shelf I could load them up just slower than the velocity they explode at and just let the kids merk pdogs until there's no rifling left.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Got my 6mm creed overstock barrel today. Only marking on it wont be visible when screwed on the action. I'll probably bead blast and spray paint it anyways. Still on the fence about ordering a 6.5prc barrel. I don't need one but feel like I should get one just to have

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Yesterday they were $50 off if you bought an over run large frame AR receiver set. For sure if you need one buy one at that current price, I did, but if you just want another one for no real reason and you are indifferent if you get one or not maybe there will be promo code in the future before...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    Ordered one of the 26" 6creed barrels, for $200 my kids can burn it down on pdogs... I feel like I should order a 18" 308 and a 22" 6.5prc also but I'll wait until they send out a promo code.

    6.8spc bolt gun build?

    I have a factory Ruger Hawkeye 6.8spc. It shoots ok killed a calf cow elk a couple years ago with it shooting 110gr Barnes. I have two Wilson Combat ars barrel that shoot really well. I have considered SBRing an action and making a 12.5 bolt gun to shoot suppressed. For inside 200-250 yards...

    New Sierra 169gr SMK (.30)

    Finally got to test these in my 20" AI. I started with a round robin length test with new factory primed Federal brass, 43.0gr of N150 and the 169. It didn't care about OAL from 2.280 to 2.190 base to ogive .030 at a step shot pretty close to the same. Chrono graphing all the shots showed it...

    Where’s the 12.7 Blackout?

    My razorback is 2.375" I think. I use 50 Alaska dies. Sounds like your a little closer to 50 Alaskan. I mostly shoot 500gr cast bullets from it. NOE has a 850gr mold I keep thinking about but for as much as I play with it the 500gr lee 50-70 bullet is good enough.

    Where’s the 12.7 Blackout?

    I have a 50 razorback in the safe. It's a 300 RUM cut off at the shoulder and a .510 shoved in. Trail boss is an easy solution for subs. H322 for super. Here it is next to a 6.5SS

    Which short action magnum?

    I have a 6.5SS also and have killed lots of stuff with it shooting 122gr solids at 3400fps. I'd still build a 300wsm first for hunting.

    Which short action magnum?

    300wsm fan boy. First time I hit a mile was with a 300wsm shooting the same rifle and load I shot an elk a couple weeks later with at a bit over 500.....with the old melty tipped 208gr Amax.

    Do you use ear pro when running a can with supersonic ammo?

    I usually double up with plugs and muffs on the range even when shooting suppressed. Suppressed 22 and hunting suppressed is about the only time I won't have ear pro on. I had a 9mm AR carbine go off out a battery when I was shooting suppressed and didn't have ear pro on it was really painful...
