    ELD Match 75gr in AR mag- no go?

    I'm pretty sure I figured out the answer to this myself, but has anyone gotten a 75gr Hornady ELD Match to magazine length? They're so long there's a gap between the case mouth and the ogive... and still 10 thousandths over what will fit in the mag, let alone any wiggle room for function. My...

    SPR accuracy poor- ideas?

    I built an SPR out of my DPMS and can't get it to shoot anywhere near how it should. I wonder if anyone has some insight? Installed an 18" barrel from Ranier Arms made on a Rock Creek blank. Wylde chamber, 8 twist, cut rifled, hand lapped. Rifle length gas with clamp-on block. Decent free float...

    AR500 steel defeated

    I fire formed some brass into my AR500 target (2 mag dumps) at about 50 yards. I know the instructions say minimum 100 yards, but who reads those? My concern isn't the $15 target, it's that I bored 2 holes through a 1/4" plate WITH .223 SOFT POINTS! Am I supposed to trust a vest made of thinner...

    Frustration solved, Zen restored

    So I built up an SPR, upgraded my dies and scale, got a case length gauge, started loading 77 and 69gr rounds... And haven't been able to get under 1moa. Everything shot 1 1/2 or so. Suppressed, flash hider, everything I tried shot the same. I almost bought a box of match ammo to try ! Tonight I...

    Bullet pulling

    Hey you gurus, when I screw up and have to pull bullets... Does it affect the neck tension when I re-seat? Do you neck size after pulling?

    Mini bullets from SPR

    Fox season starts tonight! Last year I loaded some 40gr V-Max for my DPMS 9 twist barrel. Since then I upgraded to a Rock Creek 18" 8 twist, because I'm a long range guy. I didn't think the rifle would like the mini bullets... but it shoots them 3/4 inch. Resized all the way with no attention to...

    Ballistic Apps

    I've been using Bullet Drop+, but since I've gotten a chronograph I've discovered it's way off on drop data. Example: called for 1.8 mils at 350y. Fire verified correction is 1.1. It's about 8" off at only 350. I also use it to make decisions when working up handloads. Some of the apps are...

    Long/ short action conversion

    So I have a 20 year old Savage 110 in 270 Win I'm rebarrelling. It got left in a wet basement and has pitting in the barrel. I'm rather attached to it because I've been slaying deer with since it was new. Recently I've become recoil sensitive (bad back) and have a couple kids approaching deer...
