    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Looks great with the short tube. What twist rate are you using for the 185s? I shoot 178 ELDM in mine but have the standard AI (UK) 1-12 twist rate so not tried anything heavier?

    Thanks, I will give that a try as I had noticed a very slight creep between stage 1 and it breaking........

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Strange question this but does anyone clean the triggers on their AIs and if so how? I've got about 1900 rounds through my AXMC now and haven't even thought about the trigger. I took the side skins off when I got the rifle to have a look but haven't removed them since?

    Accuracy International AXMC for first rifle - Am I crazy?

    Just wanted to update this thread. Got the .338 barrel a few weeks ago and hit the 36 inch gong at a mile 5 times with it second time out...........1780 yards! The ELDM285 just cruises out there...... Awesome rifle. Yes cost a lot of money but that first hit on the mile gong was a definite...

    So are the Hornady ELD-x and ELD-M's not shooting like the old Amaxes?

    178 ELDMs smoke everything else in my AX .308. Heading to the range on Sunday with 100 .223 73 grain and 50 285 .338 ELDMs so will let you know how I get....

    BBC Video Tells Children There are 100 Gender Identies

    The BBC is at the heart of everything that is wrong with my county. It's run by an extreme bunch of screaming liberal Communists and they just pump out this kind of fake news crap 24/7 then accuse you of being racist or homophobic if you dare to question any of it. The worst part about the BBC...

    285 ELDM COAL in .338 Lapua MAG AI AXMC

    Hi all. Just after a bit of advice please. Just got the .338 AI barrel for my AXMC and am looking to develop loads with the Hornady 285 ELDM as I've had a lot of success with their 178 ELDM in the .308 Barrel. My question is about the COAL you are using on this bullet and I would be...

    Maggie’s For you Apollo 11 geeks... it's like Christmas!

    I was too young for the Apollo missions (born 74). I’ve been watching the documentaries all week though. It’s staggering what those guys achieved 50 years ago with less computing power than a pocket calculator now. I think I read somewhere that the pilots knew it was about a 50/50 chance of...

    Suppressors Could the Government Successfully Ban Suppressors

    The answer to justifying suppressors is hearing damage from not having one. You need a class action against the government or state that bans them for progressive hearing loss and tinitus caused in recreational shooters. The UK has this debate years ago and whilst we have some of the most...

    The Actual Cost of an Unlicensed Suppressor

    We can get suppressors really easily in the UK now. Our authorities are so terrified of health and safety laws now we just put "For hearing protection" on the paperwork and they authorise it

    Carbon fouling on muzzle crown

    I found the same in my AI .308 barrel. I had nearly 1000 rounds through it before thinking to remove the brake and clean the crown. It had a thick layer of carbon build up on it. I cleaned it by sticking the tip of the barrel into an ultrasonic cleaner with a solution of citric acid (lemon...

    Changes to UK gun laws

    Yes our laws suck. They were trying to ban our 50 cals as well but we managed to hang on to them........ Rifle shooting is a minority sport in the UK so we are an easy target for liberal politicians looking to make a name for themselves.

    Best hot weather full face motorcycle helmet?

    I’m using Bell carbon lids now. Lightweight, lots of vents and a really wide field of vision so they don’t feel claustrophobic. I used to wear Arai but I think the Arais are due some modernisation. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/263962

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta in Spuhr - Parallax Binding

    Really dumb point to make here but are you all sure you aren't overtightening the spurh mounts and bending the tubes? Please don't flame me but the Spurh has multiple bolts (very similar to the forks on a motorbike) and what can happen is as you torque one of them, the others will then seem...

    308 Beyond 1K YARDS

    Max I've shot mine to is 1400 yards. About 1 hit in 8 at that range and lots of dirt sprayed on the gong from rounds coming in at a high angle and falling short. It's like playing the lottery at that range with .308, more like firing artillery. 178 is the heaviest bullet I've tried, don't...

    308 Beyond 1K YARDS

    I've found 178 ELDMs to be scary accurate to 1000 yards with the .308. 1000 yards is easy with them and I can consistently hit a 12 inch steel plate. 1200 is a lot more difficult. My rifle is an AX, 24 inch, 12 twist barrel. Pushing the bullet at 2770 over 44.5 grains of RS52, Lapua Brass...
