    Fed up with Ruger American Predator mag issues

    I know that some people have no problem with them. I originally thought that my reloads were too long but had the same problem with some hornady I had bought. Glad you are not having issues

    Fed up with Ruger American Predator mag issues

    My last post was wrong. Got the 450 mag from Midwayusa for $34.99. The mcarbo item was a trigger spring for the creedmoor.

    Fed up with Ruger American Predator mag issues

    Update on the 450 mag. Got it in today from mcarbo.com ($19.90 with shipping). It works flawlessly! Holds 3 rounds I think...didn't try to put in 4.

    Fed up with Ruger American Predator mag issues

    I absolutely love the accuracy of this rifle out of the box. Currently, I have to pull the bolt back and hit the mag to load another round. Not quite like a single shot. Doesn't bother me too much as I never need more than one shot and don't shoot at running deer. Hoping the 450 mag will...

    Fed up with Ruger American Predator mag issues

    These mags just don't feed. Ordered a replacement and it was worse. Just ordered a 450 bushmaster mag hoping it will work. The creedmoor shoots fantastically. Just have to bump the mag every time in order to feed the next round.

    How does .8" at 100 yds become 2.5" at 200 yds?

    You are slightly less than MOA at 100 yds and slightly over MOA at 200 yds. Human error will expand your groups the longer the distance. Besides, slightly under and over MOA at the two distances seems pretty good to me.

    Need 10MM powder suggestions

    I use 8.0 gr of PowerPoint and 7.6 gr of BE-86 with 180 gr Hornady XTP and 1.25 COL for 10MM. Both shoot well.

    Home Meat Grinders

    I have a LEM #12 with a jerky slicer/tenderizer attachment. Have had a couple of smaller grinders in the past that I wore out. I can put chunks in this one as fast as I want with no problem. Makes great jerky slices and with the tenderizer you just drop the steaks in as fast as you want. Be...

    Favorite 223 varmint/predator loads

    36 gr Barnes Varmint Grenade over 26 gr Benchmark. Very accurate and extremely fast. Very seldom an exit hole but explodes inside. Never had a coyote make a step after a rib cage shot.

    Finding the lands...amazing

    I've been reloading for many years but just used the col printed in reloading manuals. I was getting MOA +/- .5 accuracy in my 308, 223, 22-250, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 220 Swift after working up loads. I recently purchased a Hornady OAL gauge and bullet comparator. I was amazed at the difference...
