    6.5 Creedmoor 15" Encore Help

    Hey guys, more of a pocket rifle than a pistol. I have a Encore wearing a 15" MGM barrel with a 1:8 twist. No matter what I do, I cannot beat a 3" MOA using the 120 grain GMX ammo. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the twist of my barrel? I am considering going to a 140 grain...

    AR15 Muzzle brake effect on accuracy

    Last year my dad bought a browning in 223 for my kids. We screwed a muzzle break on it and we noticed our 1" groups went to 6". Ended up leaving it off. Fast forward I built a 300 blackout for the same kids. I am in the process of elimination but am seeing some very erratic groups. A spread...

    AR15 300 blackout poor accuracy : /

    I have a stag lower with wilson combat barreled upper, 16". I built it as rifle for my kids to take game with but they prefer bolt actions, so I'm using it this year for south Tx whitetail. I will only be using the Barns TAC-TX 110 grn black tip bullet and maximum yardage is 130 yards. I...

    9mm Plated and Unique?

    Getting ready to start reloading some 115grn plated 9mm bullets. The only suitable powder I can find locally is Unique. Alliant lists 6.3grn as their max load. I have never reloaded plated bullets period, let alone 9mm. I do reload quite a bit of 44 magnum. I have read elsewhere that a...

    Bought a Hi-Point Carbine

    Said I'd never do it..promised myself I wouldn't... Ordered a Hi-Point Carbine over the weekend. I had been looking for a 9mm carbine and decided on going with an AR platform and building it over time....so meantime... I now have a boat anchor to play with. 10 round "high capacity"...

    75 grain 223 Help!

    My rifle had some unreal groups using Hornady factory match 75 grain ammo. I'm trying to replicate that load. I used what I had which was 4064 and it was all over the place at 100. Unreal honestly. Probably 3" groups. Went back to the factory stuff and 1/2 all day. I was using 22 and 23 grains...

    Psa ar9

    Continuing from my 9mm carbine thread, does anyone have any reviews on PSAs AR-9? A sub2000 is going to cost around 500$ give or take; that's if I can find one. I could build an AR9 for around 600 and do so over time so my wallet doesn't hurt as bad. I haven't read any reviews and I know PSA...

    9mm Carbine

    I'm in the process of buying my first 9mm pistol. That being said I'm also in the market for a 9mm carbine. I'm thinking heavily about a sub2000 and a glock 17 for interchangeably of magazines. Aside from this combo does anyone else offer anything that shares magazines and is fairly...

    Range gun suggestions?

    Looking at either a 9mm or 40 range gun. Budget is 4 to 600. Accuracy is important as it'll be shot at paper and reactive targets 90% of the time. I'll also use as a secondary home defense gun and occasional carry pistol on the ranch. Considering glock, 1911s, m&p, and SR from ruger but...

    Caliber Suggestions for Encore?

    Low recoil, decent knock down power, and good ballistics? For a pistol configuration. Anything particular come to mind? And no breaks either. I'd like a 243 type caliber with a little more umph. I'd worry that a 243 wouldn't do it at longer ranges and that there'd be extensive tracking...

    Top 5 "privilege" guns you'd own??

    Hey guys. I'm picking up some extra income pretty soon...taking on a little more responsibility and it'll come with some extra pay. For awhile it'll be considered completely extra income that I'm not dependant on. So I want to add a few items to my gun case. The top 1 item that I am buying...

    Reloading 300 blackout with non cannelure

    Hey guys, I'm trying to reload a couple of these rounds. I used some 223 brass that is once fired. Anyhow. Cut it, formed it, trimmed it, and chamfered it. I'm loading Nosler 125 BT. I am trying to load them at 2.08 COL. When I tried to go to a 2.06 as suggested on the Hodgon website the bullets...

    Did I ruin something: AR15 barrel nut...

    So I went to my dads house to torque my barrel down. I used the type of block where you pin the upper receiver into it, not the clam type. Long story short, I'm not used to using a torque wrench. I read a tutorial online where you tighten, then loosen(doing this x3 to work the threads or...

    What brass can be made into 300 blackout?

    So I've got this awesome gun done. Built an AR15 in 300 blackout..wanted one for a long time now. After paying an arm and a leg and waiting on parts, with the current market....I can't find any 223 brass anywhere. So I'm here looking for alternatives. I found on one forum you could use...

    Calibers that do well with SBR treatment

    I couldn't decide on a new gun..so I'm going to do something I haven't done yet and SBR my Encore. I have two of them and a lot of barrels between the two. I think it'd be a dandy little hunting/plinking rig as an SBR. My only limiting factor in making this decision is what calibers and...

    Optics for 300 blackout

    I know this round is considered a short distance caliber. For now I am going to run supersonics in it. Eventually I plan on getting a pistol barrel, SBRing it, and buying a suppressor(this is an AR15 platform). But that's going to be later this year. Then I'll be running subsonics in it...

    300 Blackout w/ 150grn pills

    I'm looking for any reloading data I can find using 150 grain bullets. I almost have my AR completed and I'd really like to load up some shells so I can play with it when it's done. For powders I have IMR4227, 2400, RE7, and a little 296 left over. Primers I have CCI 400 and Winchester SR...

    RE7 and 223, 75 grain

    I was given a pound of RE7 recently and wanted to reload some stuff for my AR. I wanted to try 75 grain pills as it has a 1:7 twist. Would like any advice you have on it. I haven't found very much online..most recommend using RE15. "They" said RE7 was better suited for boolits that were...

    Depression and Guns in Tx?

    I don't want to go into a really long story about all this. Basically I'm unhappy in my marriage. My wife and I have tried just about everything we can to make things better. She continues to think that I need antidepressants. The only time I am unhappy or in a bad mood is when I'm at home...

    How much do used Rem 700s go for?

    Long story short. I bought a gun from a friend of a friend, it's a 700 in 17 Remington. The action has been worked over, trigger is not factory, and the stock has been pinned. The gun looks to be in very good condition. What would be a good asking price if I was trying to sell it? Just...
