    Anyone have a McMillan A5-7?

    I am looking to order a new stock from McMillan and was set on the A5. I'm currently using an A3-5 but I didn't order it with some options I'd like now so I'm going for a new model. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with the butthook but figured it wasn't a huge deal either way so I...

    Frequent Removal Of Bedded Action

    Looking to possibly have some work done on my rifle which would include a different stock and having it bedded. While the rifle is at the smith I was going to have him chamber me another barrel in a different caliber as well. The rifle is an origin action so I could use it like a switch barrel...

    Who's switched to 2 stage triggers?

    Everytime I go to the range with my build I find things I like, and things I think I could benefit from changing. I'm currently using a triggertech primary set pretty much as low as it will go. The more I shoot groups the more I would like something a bit lighter. I find myself pulling a lot of...

    Redding competition seater scratching bullets

    Anyone have problems with this? Brand new dies. 223 caliber, when I seat a bullet the die scratches it right above the case neck. Attached is a picture of the first round. After about 10 rounds it is not nearly as bad. Now it is mostly just on one side of the bullet and not as noticeable. I...

    Question on choosing dies

    I'm looking into getting a quality set of 223 dies and have some questions on the best way to go. I know for sure I want to get a mandrel die to control neck tension. My main question is what die do you guys recommend to do the shoulder bump portion? It seems my options are a standard full...

    Sig Kilo 3k Or?

    Looking for a decent monocular style rangefinder to range out to about 1200 yards accurately. Just need it to get distance to place targets really. Don't care too much about it having applied ballistics and don't need a binocular/rangefinder combo. Looking mainly at the sig kilo 2800 and 3000. I...

    Any Desert Tech HTI 50 BMG Owners?

    I've been looking through all the 50 bmg options and am down to the desert tech hti and the barrett m82a1. Pros of the desert tech for me are multiple calibers if I wish, more accurate, much more portable and easier to store, better trigger, and lower cost. Intended use is to see what it will do...

    Barrett M82a1 Optic

    I'm planning for my future barrett and am looking at optics. Is this link the correct military model? I see it's on sale for a decent price so I'm thinking of picking it up to stash it away. I want to go for the classic military look so I'm looking at this. Another part of me can't help but...

    Mcmillan Stock Studs

    Finally picked up a Harris bipod. I am unable to mount the bipod with the legs facing forward because part of the bipod hits the sling stud. My stock had the 2 up front, its hitting the rear one. Before I go screw something up, are these studs just threaded into the stock or are they completely...

    Origin build first shots

    Finally got out to the range with my origin build. Completed it about a year ago but just got out to put s few rounds through it. It is a 223 wylde chamber, bighorn origin action, bartlein 1-7 twist m24 barrel by keystone accuracy, McMillan A3-5 stock, triggertech primary trigger, and bushnell...

    223 77smk and 8208xbr

    Going to load some 77 smk in a 223 wylde chamber for my origin build. I had some cfe 223 on hand but went and picked up some 8208 for these. How does everyone like 8208 for the heavies? Comparable in performance to varget I'm assuming? Also, how much should I jump these bullets? I know they're...

    Origin vs Others

    Currently have a 700 action I was running a remage barrel on. Ended up selling the barrel to go to a different caliber and I'm just now getting back on the project. I'm really considering getting a bighorn origin now while I'm at it. Really like that I can swap bolt heads and have mechanical...

    6 creedmoor hard chambering

    I'm sure some of you saw my other thread about how I was having problems loading to the proper oal. That is fixed but a new problem arised. What's happening is my rounds are very hard to close and open the bolt on. I fired exactly one round at the range then decided I didn't want to go forcing...

    Hey guys, new to this forum and am getting ready to load some 6 creedmoor for a newly built remage. Components I have are alpha 6 creed lrp brass, sierra 107 smk's, and h4350. My main question is how much jump do the 107s typically like? Should I just go with hodgsdon's load data and seat them...
