100 Yard Range action with a little ladder test; varied H335: 22.5, 22.7, 22.9, 23.1 and 23.3 grains. COAL was 2.270 using Hornady 68 grain BTHP and velocity ranged from 2752 (22.5) to 2802 (23.3)

I'm looking to get aquainted with long range shooting and F-Class appears to be a logical place to learn & compete. I live in NW Indiana, have 100 yd range close and 200 meter range an hour away. https://www.bassandbucks.com/ located in Wabash, Indiana (2 hours away) is on my list of places...

Update & Range Report I used lipstick on the action tang to identify any unwanted contact areas; didn't find any but it sure does look purdy. Some beading was scraped from the rear steel bedding lug area to eliminate potential interference Loaded a Ladder test matrix of 4 different H335...

I'll take another look at the action & barrel. During bedding I used an equal amount of tape shims on both sides to try to maintain alignment so I'm fairly close. I am going to sand this morning, verify alignment then shoot mid-day Today: 25 SMK 69 & H335, 25 Hornady 68 & H335 and 25 Hornady...

I'll attach a couple pics and also a range report. I loaded 75 Nosler 52gr Match with H335 then shot 15 groups of 5; MOA was 0.8 to 1.5. I had hoped for better. This bullet is better suited to an AR than my 1:8 barrel because previously, gun shot sub MOA constantly using Hornady 62gr BTHP...

Opinions are welcome Curious how the readers feel muzzle devices impact accuracy +/- For my bolt 223, I have A1 & A2 Birdcages, VG6 Gamma brake/comp and a thread protector. Last outing my Ruger American Predator wore the VG6 & factory polymer stock with poor results from SMK 69 (1 1/2...

The following morning, some bedding made its way into the pillar holes but I had put release wax on the screws so they came out fine. I'll need to go back to the drill press to chase out the pillars after I let this cure another day or two. The 2 steel V-Blocks appear to be firmly imbedded in...

I have been enjoying my Ruger American Predator 223 with AR Magazine since early this fall. It's a nice shooter. Recently I purchased a Boyd's Thumbhole Stock and have been working on bedding the steel V-Blocks into the lumber. Boyd's included a glass filled polymer AR Magazine well and...

What would I do? (considering my state doesn't allow hunting with .223) 6.5 Grendel if deer hunting was my first priority. 6.8 SPC & 7.62x39 should be considered too. 6mmAR (based off of the Grendel) if varmints were my quarry. Why? Because these 2 cartridges are not "too far off of the...

LW, I enjoy your reviews of your Rugers I purchased a Boyd's Thumhole laminate stock for Ruger American 223 with AR magazines. I had inquired about obtaining a Savage metal trigger guard but after receiving the stock and magazine assembly then looking it over, that is not possible. The Boyd's...

EDIT: Stock arrived via FedEx after I posted. LW, very nice write-up. I have a Ruger American Predator, 223 with AR magazine and I am in the process of adding a Boyd's stock to my rifle. I wish to purchase new (metal) bottom metal trigger guard and want you to please confirm what model...
