    Jeff will be missed. He did a beautiful job inletting a B&C stock to created a nice, custom .223 for me.

    .243W - Best twist ? Barrel Length?

    I recommend against the .243 and suggest any of the other popular 6mm cartridges with 30+ degree shoulder angles and shorter case length. Yes, you will have problems fitting in a magazine with the .243. You will have to trim your brass excessively with .243. You will use more powder to get...

    224 vs 243 diameter in the next few years

    3300 with a 90g bullet gives 2176 ft-lbf which puts you near a 115 DTAC at 2920 fps. Of course, some can push a 115 gr. bullet faster. 3300 is not legal in PRS, however.

    224 vs 243 diameter in the next few years

    Below is a spreadsheet showing typical speeds for given bullet weights and the calculated kinetic energy for same. Small diameter bullets never have enough velocity to yield similar energies as heavier pills (for example .224 @ 90 gr. vs. 6.5 @ 140 gr.) .

    224 vs 243 diameter in the next few years

    Uh, no. Force = MA Momentum = MV Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x M x V x V (1/2 MV Squared)

    Competition Build Complete

    I think you need to dump the Sierra Match Kings in favor of Berger VLD's or DTAC's and reduce your jump considerably.

    Bad Rock Precision Rifles - South Fork Barrel Type(s) and Supplier(s) Still a Mystery

    Thanks for the reply. This tells me that OEM button-rifled barrels are being installed on the South Fork rifles.

    Bad Rock Precision Rifles - South Fork Barrel Type(s) and Supplier(s) Still a Mystery

    The above adds absolutely nothing, in tangible information, to the discussion. This is a "boilerplate" statement.

    If Your Seating Die is Leaving Rings on Your Bullets...

    Yes, good points if I was running a .223 F-TR rig and wanted to squeeze out all the accuracy I could, no matter the invested time. This is my fun, .223 bolt gun and I'm just not THAT serious about super extreme case prep for this application. I'm running a relatively inexpensive and light...

    If Your Seating Die is Leaving Rings on Your Bullets...

    Yes, I totally agree. But, by reducing the neck tension I finally got the result I was after. I had already performed the lapping compound operation. That helped but did not eliminate the issue.

    Bad Rock Precision Rifles - South Fork Barrel Type(s) and Supplier(s) Still a Mystery

    The new South Fork rifle from Bad Rock Precision Rifles (https://badrockrifles.com/) looks to have great potential. Bad Rock is affiliated with Defiance Machine which manufactures lovely actions as we know. Anyway, the recently introduced South Fork rifle has a great specification list (see...

    If Your Seating Die is Leaving Rings on Your Bullets...

    An expander mandrel would make good sense for new brass to obtain proper neck tension. However, I'm certainly not going to add a step to my .223 reloading when using the Redding S Bushing full length sizing die which delivers perfect neck tension to fired brass AND bumps the shoulder back.

    If Your Seating Die is Leaving Rings on Your Bullets...

    Ok, I had this issue when reloading for my .223 fun rifle and I decided to finally take action. My load is 25 grains Varget, 69 gr. Sierra TMK's, Lapua brass, CCI 450 magnum small rifle primers. The load is slightly compressed and this doesn't help any. My full length die was from a standard...

    1st rifle, 2k budget, build or buy?

    The new Badrock. Look it up. I think it is best bang for the buck at the 2 grand pricepoint, right now.

    Reloader 26 in 6.5x47

    Why the interest in RL-26? I run H4350 or Varget pushing 130 gr. bullets. 4 grains less for Varget vs. H4350. Both perform well.

    Photos Pumpkin Kill at Close-Range in Slow Motion

    In the spirit of Halloween... I made this video a couple of years ago. The pumpkin was filled with water then impacted with a .308 round at about 100 yards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7qIGiI4W1Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU9B4i840v4

    Norma 6.5mm .264 Diameter 130 Grain Golden Target Bullets - Need Feedback

    I normally exclusively run Berger 130 grain VLD (target/match) in my 6.5 x 47 Lapua. Of course, they run about $.40-.45/ea., but give great results. I'm seeing these Norma 130 grain Golden Target bullets at Mid-South Shooters for $133/500 ct. or about $.27/ea.. Has anybody had experience with...
