Found this video. Has me re-thinking my optics options. Really good explanation, demonstration, and practical comparison of red dots, prizm scopes, and lvpo. https://youtu.be/lL3MJvmDmvE?feature=shared Im going to really have to do some thinking on this, brought up a lot of questions fore both...

From what I understand most lowers are all forged in the same couple factories and sold to the manufacturers who do most if not all of the final machining work. I'm wanting to steer clear of budget tier lowers, Anderson, PSA, and the like. I'm also wanting to steer clear of proprietary...

Just aquired what i believe is a full colt A1 stock and buffer system from a co-worker. The bumper on the end of the buffer is in bad shape, figured the spacers between the weights probably were too. Where can you buy a buffer rebuild kit? Ill post pics when i get a chance.

So I watched the Ron Spomer video on the 9.3x62 Mauser. Got me thinking about dangerous game rifles again. Did some light looking in my usual places, Cabela's, buds guns, impact guns, for the 9.3, as well as 375 H&H, 416 rigby, and 460 weatherby. It seems that just about every gun is "no longer...

So im looking at switching bullets for my 223 defense rifle. I am wanting to have some factory ammo for the gun and hand loads to practice with. Was looking at imi razorcore 77g, which use the 77g smk. If i buy smk and load to a similar velocity and tune the loads, what are my odds of being able...

Was trying to work up some 85g Nosler Partitions in my 6arc. I used my usual load workup process, start to max to make sure I was safe. Work down to find a powder charge with a reasonably good ES/SD, in this case es30, sd9 with an average of 2795fps out of a 20in gas gun. Went to the range today...

This is with Tim Sellars of Sellars ballistic technologies It goes over some really cool stuff on barrel harmomics and "positive compensation. as best I can understand it positive compensation is tuning your load so that, as velocities decrease the bullets hit higher to compensate for the...

Im busy tumbling 9mm brass. Think i have around 2500pcs, a full 50cal can. Running batches of 500 through my frankford vibratory tumbler with walnut. Running 2hrs per batch, to get the grunge off of them so i can start sizing. Once I get them all sized They will go into my wet tumble to get...

Found a video here, explains just about everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqfpMxci168 My synopsis, 6mm MAX (is SAAMI) designed by Brian with BC Precision ballistics Being marketed through Sons of Liberty Gun works Partnering with Starline for brass supposed to be available to the...

Just picked up a pound of StaBALL Match to try in 6arc. Anyone else tried or using this powder? Clean burning? work well in a gas gun? General thoughts?

How important is sd/es to you when working up a load. And what do you consider to be an acceptable sd/es? Thinking along the lines of velocity. Note: we seem to be getting into the weeds on statistics and quantity needed for valid statistics among other things. What i am trying to get at, is...

Hey, just thought I would relate some preliminary testing results. This is out of an AR with a 20in Ballistic advantage barrel. Starline brass CCI 450 Small rifle magnum primers Ramshot Tac 75g V-max 10 shots fired per group 30.5g (max) avg 3069fps, es 51, sd 19 (cratered primers ejector marks...

So some of my reading has got me thinking. All parts wear out over time. For me, that had me mainly thinking of barrels and bolts. However everything else will wear out eventually too, uppers, lowers, bolts, carriers, firing pins, triggers, buffer tubes, lowers. Everything eventually really...

How do yall process your brass? How big are your batches? do you do it all at once, or break it down into steps? For handgun I generally do 1000 at a time. Quick tumble to get the soot off. size them all the next day, final tumble day after to get them shiny. for rifle brass, say 223 that I do...

Hey, was tinkering with some bullet weight sorting while I was waiting for my tumblers to finish. Just playing around with some bullet Hornady 55g fmj. How much variance should I expect with bulk bullets? To me it seems rather heavy on the outliers. Just pulled and weighed out of the box until...

Hey, so I got to thinking. What are the common load development methods and how well do they work? One of the things I have sort of figured out over the years is that the method or techniques in the method need to produce results every time. Based on Hornady's podcast on dispersion and not...

Was watching a video from Ultimate Reloader on a Southafrican hunt. I noticed that whatever round he was using hit HARD. Did a little digging and apparently it was a borrowed rifle in 6.5 Sherman. Never heard of it before. Did a bit of googling and checking my reloading manuals, not much of...

Ok ill try and keep the premise simple. If you have 1 lot of brass, but they are sized differently how will this effect accuracy and load workup? For example. Measuring from the base to a point on the shoulder. You have some cases sized at 1.180 and some sized at 1.188. The shoulder is set back...

So I just got my Hornady Headspace Comparator tool in. Having some issues with 6mm arc and a possible oversized chamber. In any case I took my first set of measurements today. and had some questions. Mainly what is the acceptable variance in these measurements? Given good bullets, when using my...

Ill start out. Just got around to working up my first loads for 6mm arc. Had to buy some factory ammo to get brass, and have 250pcs of starline on backorder. Factory ammo shot just ok, not great. Put my first loads together today, just a small batch to check for pressure signs, function in...
