    Savage 223 + CDI BDM and nosedive issue on 8th round

    The rifle is a Savage 223 in a B&C Medalist stock send to CDI precision to get a BDM. I’m having some nosedive issue and have no idea on what’s going on. I have three 10 round mags and all exhibit some sort of nosedive problem. One MDT, one Accurate Mag that I’ve filed the front polymer to be...

    POTUS Twitter account suspended but Iran’s leader has his Twitter

    Still need to get my head wrapped around the fact that Iran’s leader is allowed to have a Twitter account, but the president of the USA is not. https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump

    Thinking of replacing mid-grade ammo 22lr shooting at 50Y with PCP

    Most of my shooting is from the bench. I don’t hunt and don’t do matches. With SK+ in a good rifle, my accuracy is in the mid 0.3s at 50Y. If I want to get better accuracy (in the 0.2s), I have to shoot Center X. After doing some reading and watching reviews, it seems that PCP guns are cable of...

    Need powder funnel for 223

    Today was one those aha moments! I was reloading 5.56 with H335 powder. As I was pouring the powder in the brass with my red plastic funnel, I noticed a few kernels hitting my leg. I measured the actual powder weigh in the brass, and there was a loss of 0.2grs. That explains why all my 223/556...

    Why is it so hard to have a 100% reliable bolt 22lr?

    I saw many recent posts complaining about the reliability of some of the bolt 22lrs. I have/had many bolt 22lrs. All of them (except one brand) were more or less plagued with feeding/extraction issues. Savage: I had a Mark2 G. It functioned perfectly for the first few thousands rounds, but...

    Very High Velocity (+5000 FPS in 308)

    I have recently discovered this guy’s YouTube channel and love what he does. He’s more into older guns and has a very extensive collection. I was fascinated by this video about his empirical experiments on hypervelocity. Basically, with a smoothbore 308 and fast burning powder (and some other...

    Opinion on new Remington 700 VLS

    I have a Remington 700 Varmint Special in 223 from the 80s that is original (not free floated). I love that rifle. The fit and finish is awesome. It has gorgeous deep bluing, has a nice 2.5lbs trigger, is absolutely reliability and shoots half MOA with quick hand loads. I like that rifle so...

    Vudoo rifle: which options to choose?

    I’m planning to buy a Vudoo rifle in the near future. I’d like to hear some opinions on the options I should choose. I’m hesitating between the Ridgeback and the Renegade stock, as well as the adjustable model or not. The barrel length….I was thinking 18”….I’m not planning to suppress it, but...

    Savage 223 stabilizes 75 ELDM but not 50 GR Vmax

    I shot some reloads (50Gr Vmax, 26Gr Varget, CCI 400, once fired LC brass) with my Savage. It’s keyholing. Interestingly it’s still pretty accurate with just over 1” at 100Y. The same gun shoots 75 ELDM at 0.5 MOA with no keyholing. I’m really surprised that the Savage, with its 1/9 twist...

    $680 shipped for the CZ 527 Royal $145 shipped for the American stock Comes with box, manual and CZ rings (scope not included). I bought this gun 2 month ago and the previous owner fired only around 100 rounds. I’m selling this because the barrel is too thin for me. I realized that after I...

    Vudoo : How about we split the difference?

    I’ve been reading a lot about Vudoo rifles lately on this site and it seems like it’s the best thing since slide bread. Fine, it has a rem 700 footprint and you can configure it like your PRS match gun. It’s reliable and doesn’t have weak ejection like most Anschutz. The magazine is awesome...

    Rifle Scopes Which Athlon scope for 22lr

    This will go on my Kidd Supergarde. I need a scope that is FFP/MIL/focus at 25Y or below with decent glass and not very expensive (like priced between $300-$800). I’ll shoot the rifle mostly from the bench at 50Y, but would like to be able to use it on occasional NRL22 matches. I’m a little...

    Bought my dream rifle: It’s a factory Remington 700

    Back in the 90s, my dream rifles were the Steyer SSG 69 and the Remington 700 Varmint Special. Fast forward 20 years later, and I finally bought the Remington in 223. I love the fit and finish of the gun. It has a beautiful deep bluing and the trigger breaks at a crisp 2.5 lbs. The previous...

    AIAT started to pierce primers since switched to H4350

    The rifle has a large firing pin and a 26” barrel chambered in 260 by MHS. My load is Lapua brass, BR2, 147 ELD. My initial load was with 42.9 gr of IMR 4451. I was getting 2812 FPS and no issues. I reduced that load (didn’t need that much speed) and settled on 41.7 gr IMR 4451 with an average...

    H4350 vs Imr 4451 charge for equivalent load

    I did a load dev with IMR 4451 and 147 ELDM in 260 and with a 26" barrel and 41.7gr of IMR 4451 I'm getting an average of 2786 fps. I finally got my hands on some H4350 and I'm trying to come up with a new load. From what I've read, you need less powder with the H4350 to achieve similar...

    Wrist Coach for PRS match: Not comfortable.... Any alternatives?

    I went to my first PRS style club match a couple of weeks ago. I used the COF paper to write down different info for each stage. It wasn’t practical at all. Some of the guys recommended to buy a wrist coach. I got this one from Amazon and I don’t like it. I just tried it for 5mn and it...

    Does BallisticsARC have 147 ELDM in the library?

    I've heard several people praise about BallisticsARC and it's weather station module. I'm planning to switch from Ballistic AE to ARC. But here's the issue. I downloaded the free version and it doesn't have the 147 ELDM in the library. Am I missing something? Would the 147 ELDM come with the...

    AIAT 308 factory barrel: 168 ELDM or 178 ELDM?

    I was getting similar (better?) performance with my 223 and those 75 gr ELDM than my 308 with 175 SMKs....So I sold all my 175 SMK bullets. Truth be told, I was shocked when I realized than the 175 SMK bullet has become obsolete! On the AIAT I shoot mostly the 147 ELDM from a 260 barrel. But I...
