    Diagnose my failures to fire - Rem700 *SOLVED*

    Something else to consider along the potential list of potential fire control issues is that M118LR uses a harder primer (CCI#34) than most commercial ammo. I ran into this with a factory Rem700 action and a Timney trigger when swapping from WSR to CCI41 primers. A stronger firing pin spring...

    Kestrel + Link = worth it?

    Kestrel + Link = worth it?

    It's been a few years since I used the Kestral app on the phone, but circa 2019 the app was okay for real time wind speed updates. This is of course is with the Kestrel mounted in it's weather vane on a tripod. I eventually upgraded to get the Kestrel HUD and to me that was worth the added...

    223 bolt gun feed fixes

    The amount of material removed is going to be unique for your rifle/chassis/magazine combination. I'd dedicate/procure X number of mags for the system and go from there. That's what I did with the 300BLK rifle and five MDT metal mags. Note @st1650 observation above:

    223 bolt gun feed fixes

    I've been running the MDT polymer mags in my 223 Remage Bravo for a few years and luckily had zero feeding issues. Last year I put together a 300BLK rifle with another Bravo chassis and ultimately had to get the magazine latch that you file down to fix the feed issues. There is some...

    AA Targets, Truing Bar Target

    Apologies for the Necro post, but did these ever become available, are they special order from AA targets? I’m digging the truing bar on top of a T post target.

    Rim X questions

    I have a Rim-X in a KRG Bravo chassis running a TT 2-stage. Zero issues with the combination.

    Mil reticle in spotter

    The Bushnell has much better glass than the Vortex in my experience. I had both and returned the Vortex. Unless it’s gotten a big glass upgrade in the past 5 years go Bushnell.

    .300 blackout Help

    I can confirm that just over 19gr to just shy of 21gr is usually where most people end up with H110 and Barnes 110’s. I’m at 19.9gr getting 2500fps from a 19” barrel in Starline brass.

    .300 blackout Help

    Barnes has load data for that bullet, but does not list CFE BLK. Surprisingly they list Lil'Gun as their preferred powder and not H110 or W296. :unsure: https://www.barnesbullets.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/300AACBlackoutV6ForWeb.pdf

    .300 blackout Help

    Clarification: I am not loading 22.3gr of H110; nor do I recommend anyone else do it. H110 is a similar kernal size to CFE BLK and it's what I has easily accessible to investigate/demonstrate powder stack height in Hornady vs Starline brass. I've edited the previous post to avoid some...

    .300 blackout Help

    So the case volume being lower was my guess, and it may be correct based on the quick experiment I just tried. 23.3 grains in each case using the drop tube on the area 419 powder funnel. Hornady brass on the left virgin Starline on the right.

    .300 blackout Help

    Yeah that is pretty bad and definitely due to the compressed load. I would either back the charge weight off, or try to utilize in the drop tube to get a better powder stack height. Although CFE black is a really small fine grain powder to begin with, so it may not improve any.

    .300 blackout Help

    A slight ring around the tip of a Vmax bullet is not completely uncommon. What brands of dies are you using? I’m assuming Hornady.

    .300 blackout Help

    I’ve gotten the full 22.7gr of CFE BLK into a Hornady case using a drop tube. It will not be that easy seating the Vmax at that charge weight. Some seating diess are better than others at not deforming the bullet. Slight tangent; I do recommend using the Redding taper crimp dye. I’ve had...

    Trigger Tech in KRG Bravo

    I'm running TT's in three different Bravo's, two Rem 700 and one Origin action, with zero issues. For a short time I was even running a TT w/bolt release on the Origin with zero issues. The combo is GTG.

    300 blackout bolt gun

    I've had zero issues with my Origin feeding from both the polymer and metal MDT magazines. The ejection has also been excellent.
