If so, how long is the throat in general terms? Are you hanging heavy, 220-250gr far out of the case, or is it relatively short? Any problems with the secant ogive bullets?
I like mine alright. I don't know a hard number, but I'd say I am around 25k rounds loaded, both rifle and pistol. I have quit resizing rifle cases with it, but I do full progressive on all pistol ammunition. Case feeder really is a must if you intend to be time efficient, although I would not...
2ndtimer: If you like 4064 give RL-15 a shot. A really great powder that I have tried in both heavy .223 bullets and lighter .308 bullets, but it really did well in the .308 and 7mm-08.
1 MOA M1A's are the exception, not the rule. There are match versions and "accurized" rigs that will do it, but the average one you pick up off the shelf likely will not. Mine is a Scout version in a GI fiberglass stock with match front post and standard rear sight. It shoots the same whether it...
I replaced my M1A trigger with Garand parts thinking they'd be better. Other than knowing that they are GI parts, I can't tell a difference at all. I'd be more worried about the extractor taking a flight on you. Mine flew into oblivion on the 33rd round it ever fired. Replaced with GI and no...
Seems to me that you might just go and buy off the shelf ammunition if you're willing to compromise right out of the gate. Plenty of powders that work in both, but it is likely that the one you choose will be a compromise in both cases. You didn't really state any goals or specific information...
I recently bought a couple one pounders of the new IMR Enduron powders and some others before I shot those RL-17 loads. I guess I'll find another use for them or get bored eventually and try them out. I'd probably be more apt to try out RL-16 before those at this point. For now, its new brass...
I recently got together some 7mm-08 Lapua brass, neck turning set-up, and an annealing machine so now I'll see what I can do with that. Still need to get a measurement once I've cleaned up the necks to order my bushing neck die. A new barrel once this one falls off will be the next step, and a...
I've had okay results with IMR-4064 but the velocity was still somewhat low and it seems that my rifle is allergic to IMR-4350. I have been trying to get the accuracy that the lower velocity loads produce with high velocity for some time and I have finally found the ticket for me. Now I've got...
Finally shot some ladder loads that I made up almost two years ago in 7mm-08. Shooting them from a Remington 700 SPS Varmint with 26" barrel I got an average of 2949fps at the max charge (47.5gr) listed in Hornady's 9th edition! No pressure signs that I can tell and great accuracy, but Hornady...
Nice build! I should only be weeks away from getting my Form 1 and 4 back. Filed in July so according to the NFA tracker it should be soon. I really like that PDW stock and will probably end up with one now!
I was going to buy this one but decided to just build one.

All I needed to hear, I was being apprehensive because it is a proprietary barrel. Now to decide on contour. I will probably go with their standard medium and either contour or dimple forward of the gas block as well.
That is kind of what I am taking away from a casual look at it. Stress relieving after finish machining causes problems of its own, and stainless is wholly different than carbon steel.
I've read on various other forums that the removal of the extra material doesn't really add any significant...
I do intend to shoot it as it comes from them first. I am just trying to get a consensus of results so I can weigh the of benefits profiling. The barrel and optic is my only question mark. I want to offset the weight of the optic and mount as much as possible.
For optic, I want a 1-4x or 1-6x...
No problem, it is a really good alternative, and I was considering it based on your posts here, but I'm hung up on wanting a stainless barrel. Being that aftermarket barrels are slim to none, that leaves me with the recon. There is a thread somewhere else where someone has done this and I would...
Man, you're prepared! Be aware that not all tubes have that notch for the pin as in the above photo. Some are just a small lip or protrusion that simply catches the large diameter of the retaining pin. If it is indeed loose, the wrench to tighten the castle nut is pretty inexpensive.
Assuming that it is an AR-15 with a telescopic stock, the receiver extension is not screwed in far enough or one of the parts is out of spec. This is probably also possible if it is the Fixed stock too.
Curious, how did you happen to have a spare spring with you?
I have a DPMS G2 Recon on its way and I would really like to have the barrel(stainless) re-profiled to shave some weight. This will be in addition to changing the HG for a 12" MI rail. I want the rifle as easy to carry(light) as reasonably possible and I would like it to maintain acceptable...
