    .223 Brass capacity

    For give me if this seems like a dumb question. For the last 2 years I have been loading Wolf Gold brass that I originally bought preprimed. I am running out of it and plan to switch to Starline. I checked the case capacities using water and noticed that the wolf came in at 29.3 and the...

    Ballistic advantage Hanson Barrels

    I have been eyeing these for a while now. Supposedly they are designed to shoot longer strings of fire without deviating too much from the heat. What is the consensus on these barrels? I am thinking this would make a good barrel for multigun and for black rifle match's.

    Anyone else running a 28" tube for 6.5 Cr? My gunsmith had one handy and made me a great deal on a Bartlien. It is a 1-8 twist M24 contour. What kind of velocities are you getting with 140 and 147 grain pills?

    M5 6.5 CR Shortstroking

    I built a 6.5 CR on Aero receivers using a 20" Proof barrel with a +2" gas system. I've tried it with a rifle length buffer system using the Aero M5 rifle springs as well as a Sprinco Green. It short strokes with both setups. I just put a carbine buffer tube on the rifle and tried a Sprinco...

    Rugged Radiant

    I'm not a suppressor expert by any means. I did some research and decided on the Radiant as it checked the most boxes for me. Light weight, Full auto rated, no barrel length restriction and relatively low back pressure. It made it to my dealer yesterday and I just got back from doing the...

    Ballistic Advantage Nitrided barrels

    I decided to start a new thread instead of bringing it up in the other one. I noticed that BA now offers a QPQ (nitride finish) stainless barrel. Anyone running them? I'm guessing they should last pretty well.

    Aero Precision 22" 6.5 Cr upper

    Anyone have any experience with this this upper. I can get one for about 375.00 I'm wondering if they are way over gassed. I'm guessing the accuracy is 50/50. https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m5-threaded-22-6-5-creedmoor-ss-fluted-complete-upper-receiver-w-atlas-s-one-handguard

    My new favorite pistol

    I just passed 3000 rounds through my Dan Wesson DWX. So far the gun has run flawlessly with several types of ammo. Accuracy is on par with my STI DVC 3Gun. The best part is that 21 round mags are 35.00 and they actually work flawlessly as well. If you find yourself in the market for a multi...
