DPMS LR 308 in 6.5 Creedmoor with Criterion 22” hybrid barrel, Superlative Arms adjustable gas block, and JP Enterprise Silent Captured recoil spring AR10 Gen. 2. On releasing the bolt the cartridge COL will increase by 0.023” even with a reduction of neck size of 0.005” between prepped brass...

I positioned the bipod on my assembled Creedmoor 6.5 LR 308 nearest the balance point of the rifle (nearest the magazine) but when I see photo of bipods on most rifles they are positioned nearer to the muzzle. Does the position matter to accuracy especially when shooting prone? Thanks, All the...

I enjoy handcrafting my reloads in the never ending search for my rifles perfect cartridge. If my health holds I would like to stretch my distance to 1000 yards but all my Load development takes place at 100 or 200 yards. For practicality how much dose case prep affect accuracy at that distance...

I made a chamber cast today of my Criterion 6.5 mm Creedmoor AR 10 barrel. All the measurements looked good except the diameter near the base that was more elliptical than cylindrical. Is this how an AR chamber is made, or an artifact of my casting, or what? Measurements at the base rotating in...

Have you built one? Is it sub moa for at least 5 rounds at 100 yards? What components did you use? How did you assemble it (as in torque poundage on the barrel nut, true the receiver face and such). I have over two grand in mine with what I assume are quality parts and accuracy is poor, 2+ moa...

I assembled a DPMS style 6.5 mm Creedmoor. Using AeroPrecision M5 upper and lower, Criterion 22” hybrid barrel with head spaced JP high pressure bolt, Geissele SAAE trigger and A2 flash hider. Accuracy at 100 yards is very poor, on bench with sand bag support. I removed the hand guard and saw...

Can a few granules of powder between the bolt face and cartridge cause the bolt to lock up? While at the range today the last round of the magazine was missing a primer. Other than calling myself an idiot for not priming the round I did nothing other than put in the next magazine (after checking...

I have finished assembling my “AR” 6.5 Creedmoor and sighted in the scope today. I tested the accuracy with some 142 gr. Hornady match with 6 rounds under moa and 4 fliers. The rifle has only 60 rounds fired. Might this improve as the parts settle in? Thanks in advance, Bill

I finished my AR 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor and enjoy chasing the perfect reload as much as shooting. Are there real advantages to small rifle primers over large for this cartridge? It is for target shooting only. Also any opinions on brass brands. All the best, Bill

I am building an AR 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor. What is your favorite grip. Components AeroPrecision builder kit, Criterion 22” hybrid barrel, Geissel SSAE trigger. What do you like and why? Thanks, Bill

I understand from other TFLers that an AR10 should not be your first build but an accurate long range target AR in 6.5 Creedmoor is on my bucket list and time is getting short. That being said what tools are needed outside of the rifle parts themselves to assemble the rifle. I need a complete...

I need more trigger time on my target rifle but don’t want to burn up all my SMK’s in doing so. Any one know of a source for inexpensive jacketed .308 bullets? I am about out of the 168 grain blems I bought a while back. Thanks, All the best, Bill

Opinions on best scope for a Ruger 10/22 under $100.00. Goal of plinking maybe squirrels. Considerations on clarity, fixed or variable, reputation, durability etc. Thanks, Bill

What causes variations in velocity? Same lot brass, same prep, same bullet, same powder, powder measured to less than 0.1 grain, same primer, same day. First shot 1785 fps, second 1859, third 1840, forth 1853, fifth 1806, sixth1797, seventh 1806, eighth 1833, ninth 1858, tenth 1844. Measured...

I had a case rupture today. Star line 45-70 brass on forth reload. 350 grain Berry’s bullet over 40 grains IMR 4198. The rupture was mid case along the long axis. Was this a brass defect or?[IMG]http://IMG_0945.HEIC. Thanks, All the best, Bill
