    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    The freebore/etc area of my chamber was all chatter, like they used a single point fly cutter with some runout as a reamer. It was very ugly.

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    You're right. Free speech gives you the right to make it obvious how much of an asshole you are. This is genius. The lightened bolt carrier of the SFAR might be a problem, and the heavy bolt carrier of an AR-10 might be the solution. So we should spend a bunch of money on a lightened...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    Away is a direction you should consider going. I don't believe tinfoil is necessary here. I might have more of a business mind than the average joe and strongly believe the holding company was cashing out the entire value of the "goodwill" of those brands before flipping them. The "goodwill"...

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    Ruger changed their mind. It's on the way back to them. The only thing I can figure the smith might have done to increase bolt speed is better align the gas block. The gas port looked as fouled as the bore. It was the size of a planet, though.

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    After seeing the result of my testing, Ruger told me they would not service or support my rifle. It is a $1,200 paperweight. I made it quite clear I did not want that. I asked them if they touched the gas port and they said no. Also their system showed every step they did along the way...

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    Definitely using a can. A .358 Rex Silentium MG7 I bought to help out a friend that had the unfortunate luck of being a law abiding and honest man in the presence of feds.

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    That's the impression I'm getting. They want it running like a raped ape. "Bolt velocity is the speed of light on gas setting 1? Set it to 3, let's learn something about theoretical physics."

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    Pretty deep pressure signs on LC. Same, plus bent rim on PPU M80. I put in a go gauge and it got stuck. The neck clearance shoulder was scraped up. I sized 3 pieces of older Federal LC brass and chambered them. All of the necks were chewed on the outside of the forward edge. One had a...

    I'm going to my local club, because multiple people can help stop the bleeding.

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    I spoke with Ruger on the phone. They want me to run it on gas setting 3 and try other ammo. They said this is because the 20" SFAR has, this was repeated at least 3 times, "a rifling system". Supposedly, the "rifling system" is the reason they used a huge gas port. They also say I'll have...

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    All three shots were suppressed. I will be returning it without shooting it again. I've wasted too much time and money helping Ruger develop their rifle.

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    Got mine back from the smith, their 3-4 week backlog was actually 8 weeks. The rifle length gas 16" SFAR is here. The bolt velocity is much faster now so the gun can't cycle. I shut the gas off and had to pogo the action open to see pressure signs on the brass. This ammo is loaded light and...

    That's correct. They were built wrong. Good point. Could be a faster powder in my weak m80.

    Ruger SFAR chewing brass

    Mine's at the smith. Gonna try 16" rifle gas. Unsure if it'll work, because reports are the gas port is huge. I bought a 16", fired it 5 times suppressed. I used gas setting 1. Rifle unlocked early, destroyed all five pieces of brass, malfunctioned all 5 times. Magpul stock, buffer tube...

    How is RCBS in business?

    See, there's one I like. IBM has never let me down. Always a treat to work with their systems and their company.

    How is RCBS in business?

    When I got my Lee Classic Cast, the RCBS presses were made in China and getting some rough reviews. Whoever's idea it was to do that was hopefully allowed to find employment elsewhere. My old man learned to reload on a rockchucker. If I ordered that hat, it'd arrive pink, say CBRS, and have...

    How is RCBS in business?

    You guys nailed it. The reason a casing doesn't fit in the case holder is me. The reason the chargemaster scale weighs the same thing differently each time is also me. Have a good day.

    Wondering how much time we’re wasting?

    All powders are temp sensitive. All steels behave differently at different temperatures. On different days, in different amounts of shade on the barrel and ammo, the ammo will perform differently. So if you do intense load development, you are determining what load is best for your barrel on...

    How is RCBS in business?

    I've had a number of RCBS products over the years and I think I've yet to have one work. I got a Chargemaster and it was terrible. I returned it and got a replacement. The replacement didn't work. I had that refurbished, because RCBS refused to support it. Big shock, it doesn't work. The...

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    It was the inlet for the original OEM 4 round DBM.
