    Short Barrel 308 Load dev

    In my 16” 308 nothing comes close to CFE223 when it comes to speed and accuracy. I’m getting 2630fps out of 168 Berger classic hunters

    Suppressors 9/16x24 threads work for .338?

    I have an elite iron Sierra .338 suppressor that I use on my 338 LM. I recently picked up a ruger frontier in 338 fed. I figured the short 38 fed would be a dandy candidate for a suppressor. The only down side is the barrel is only .665 at the muzzle. I was wondering if a 9/16x24 would...

    The only down side was if I used my suppressor it was way over gassed and sprayed gas into your face, if adjusted down to limit that it would short stroke without the suppressor. I decided to just run this one sans suppressor. Accuracy isn’t quite what I expected from a proof barrel. The...

    New gas block and lighter buffer has it running correctly.

    New ar10 build

    Well it’s accurate but it not cycling. It’s short stroking. It’s only ejecting 20% and not picking another round up. I picked up another non adjustable gas block to try out, I also grabbed a couple different buffer weights and a lighter buffer spring to try. I’m wishing I had gone with...

    Salt bath annealing advice

    I tried my salt bath Annealing kit today. It was easy to set up and use. I’m looking farward to swing if there is a noticeable benefit when shooting. 2x fires Lapua 308 brass and virgin 338 RCM brass for the test run. 5 seconds @ 500 C° I used a cut down 30/30 brass to adjust the...

    Fast twist 22-250 or .22 Creed?

    My rifle has a 1-7 Schneider 26” long barrel using Re26 powder 41.5gr in hornady 6mm CM brass. LRI did the action and barrel work. I found good accuracy at this velocity and didn’t feel the need to run it any harder. I was hoping to extend barrel life using heavy bullets at slightly...

    Ruger Precision Rimfire

    I had the same issue with fliers. Seemed like one group would be 1/2” and the next throw two fliers out to 1.25-1.5” I ended up getting a Green mountain barrel. Seems more consistent but the factory barrel would throw tighter groups from time to time.

    R700 chassis $500 max?

    It’s actually pretty light compared to a lot of chassis. My heavy barreled action is the deciding factor on that rifle. The X-ray and bravo are both fairly light while still very rigid.

    Shadow Tech Tripod compatibility

    I went with a cheap vanguard ballhead on my pig 0311 tripod. It has worked very well so far.

    shooting of TriPod, helpful hints

    I find a rimfire trainer is great practice off the tripod. I find myself spending more and more time shooting 2-300 yards off the tripod with my RPRR.

    R700 chassis $500 max?

    The Bravo is really hard to beat for the money. I have one on a 16” barreled 308. Really confortable stock with a lot of great features.

    Cheap pigeon rack for LR rimfire practice

    I put together a cheap pigeon rack for long range rimefire practice. It’s difficult to hear the rimefire hitting my 9x12 plate at 300 yards and it doesn’t really swing it any. It’s a lot easier to see a clay break at those ranges. I’m only into this for about $20. It’s a lot of fun.

    SWFA SS

    I went with the 10x SS. I think it’s about perfect for a LR rimfire. I almost never shoot closer than 50 so the 10x is fine. If it was something I was going to small game hunt with the 6x would be good too.
