    Barrel life 6.5 CM vs 308 Win

    You can also take recoil out of the equation if you choose to run a muzzle brake. I recently purchased a Aero Solus in 308, and it had a modest amount of recoil out of the box. Putting on an Area 419 Hellfire Match muzzle brake really cut the recoil. It surprised me. Now, it's super pleasant...

    Aero Precision Solus Hunter

    I recently got the Aero Solus Bravo and so far (93 rounds down the pipe) it's great. I can get just under 1" ten shot groups with handloaded Hornady 168 ELD-M's and Sierra 168 MK's. Also added a Area 419 Hellfire muzzle brake which works awesome in reducing .308 recoil! Can't wait to hear...

    Inexpensive 308 Hunting/Bench Build

    If you feel the need to spend up to the self imposed $1K limit, an Area 419 Hellfire muzzle brake really makes shooting a .308 downright pleasurable. I did somewhat the same thing as you, building a "cheaper" .308 and picked up a Aero Solus Bravo on sale, and the muzzle brake really cut down...

    How is RCBS in business?

    I have a Chargemaster Supreme and some 45-70 dies, and they all work great. Yes, this is anecdotal evidence and a sample size of one, but I've been pleased.

    Bergara B-14 HMR 308 Loads

    PRCslut, I usually shoot 10 shot groups when doing load development (got the idea from a Hornady podcast on load dev., I think it was episode 052). With the Sierra 168MK's, I loaded 48.0 gr. of CFE223 (1.0 gr. below max per that same Hornady podcast) and got a 1 3/8" 10 shot group. With 42.7...

    Does this brake come with the mount too, or just the brake? Thanks!

    Bergara B-14 HMR 308 Loads

    I have the Wilderness version of your HMR, and mine didn't like any Hornady factory ammo or reloads. Mine did like Sierra 168 MK and 175 MK's that I reloaded with Varget, CFE223 and AA2495. I tried Hornady 155 AMax, 168 and 175 pills, and it didn't like any of them.

    Rem 700 sps tac / str. eagle x56 scope - stock mount get it done?

    I have an EGW rail and it fits and works fine on my R700 in .223. They make good stuff. I can't argue with Lost_Phil though on having a rail with a recoil lug for heavier recoiling rifles. Without a recoil lug cast or machined into a rail, the shear forces of recoil are taken up by the...

    Aero Precision Solus Unboxing on the Live

    Does anyone know if using a Criterion barrel that I normally would do with the Remage threaded barrel (and nut), would that fit the Solus action. Or would a Savage shanked barrel fit? Also, in the box for just the action it looks like it comes with a barrel nut, correct?

    SOLD TriggerTech Special 2 Stage Flat Trigger

    Is this the version that fits factory Remington 700 actions as I know they also make one that only fits clone actions? The rifle I might put this on is a Remington factory rifle.

    Thanks for all the responses! I think I will give the Imperial Wax a try and report back.

    Scope rail bedding question

    Spending the dollars we all do to enjoy the shooting sports, I'm with you that a tin of shoe polish certainly won't break the bank! I was just curious if anyone else used Imperial Sizing Wax as it makes sense that a die wax that keeps cases from sticking to dies would also work as a bedding...

    Scope rail bedding question

    I have a new Bergara B-14 Wilderness I am breaking in. I want to mount a Nightforce 20 MOA scope rail to it and had a question on release compounds. I usually see folks recommending shoe wax to spread on the receiver to release from the JB Weld (plus Play Doh in the screw holes). I have a tin...

    .300 PRC & Ruger RPR & Injured Shoulders - Workable?

    I'm a lefty with right eye dominance, and years ago switched from shooting left handed to right handed for shotguns and rifles. It's amazing how the body can adapt. Switch shoulders!
