    NEW MOD-7 HOG Saddle

    Re: NEW MOD-7 HOG Saddle Two questions Do these clamp enough to fit the Mcree chassis? Also, what is your recommended tripod/head set-up for general purpose positional precision shooting?

    223 and twist - quick question(s)

    Re: 223 and twist - quick question(s) I would go with a 1-7 twist if possible. I have had the 80 amax, 80 vld, and 80.5 full bore fail to stabilize out of a verified 8 twist. I am not quite sure about your second question. I can say that my fireforming loads have been extremely accurate...

    Highest BC for 5.56 8" twist at AR magazine length

    Re: Highest BC for 5.56 8" twist at AR magazine length The 70 vld and the 77 scenar are the best ballistic performers out of an AR magazine. Hornady's published BC for the 75 bthp are on the optimistic side, per Litz and personal testing.

    Stock/chassis for shooting in the cold?

    Re: Stock/chassis for shooting in the cold? I have a McRees, and between a stock pack, skid pad, and gloves I do just fine. The stock temperature has never been the limiting factor here in Fairbanks.

    Gunsmithing FN/Winchester action

    Re: FN/Winchester action I much prefer my FN SPR over my 700. X-treme makes an awesome 2 stage trigger for them, and popular tactical stocks are readily available through Stockey's.

    Extreme Cold weather gear, shooting

    Re: Extreme Cold weather gear, shooting Like a previous poster said, shooting glasses and scope lenses fog and freeze very easily if you aren't careful. Lots and lots of layers. Activity levels on the range generally arent high enough to keep you warm if you are not wearing a lot when it...

    question on 1:8 twist AR bull barrel & reloading

    Re: question on 1:8 twist AR bull barrel & reloading I have had good luck with the 75 bthp over 24 grains of Varget. Nothing exotic, but it has been a consistent performer for me. This is out of a 20" 8 twist Armalite.

    $1 per bullet and a free set of scope rings

    Re: $1 per bullet and a free set of scope rings I would absolutely give them a shot. They certainly wouldn't become my primary bullet, but I think they would be interesting to experiment with.

    .223 as a starter rifle?

    Re: .223 as a starter rifle? I wish I would have started with a good 223 bolt gun. I have an SPS tactical that I had reamed to 223 AI which is currently my favorite rifle. It is a cheap way to hone skills on a full size centerfire platform.

    AR 15 Barrel 1:9 Twist?

    Re: AR 15 Barrel 1:9 Twist? A 1/9 will stabilize the 70 vld, which is going to be about the best performing AR magazine length bullet out there. It has a BC equivalent to the 75/77 bthp/smk and can be pushed faster.
