Shot some 53g vmax over Benchmark and 73g ELDM over IMR8208XBR yesterday. Loaded the 53s to 2.260" and the 73s to 2.3" in ASC mags. These were the winners. Good enough for a gasser with Hornadys and throwing some loads together. Not going to mess much more with it. 1/2 MOA with an AR in my mind...
Loaded up 10 rounds to shoot a 10 shot group at 100 yards. Figured if it went 1 MOA or better I'd run with it. First 5 were a ragged hole, then had a couple stragglers, followed by the rest in the same hole. 8 shots went 1/2" with the other 2 making it .85" Velocity is 2975fps. I blame Hornady...
Well I figured since I've had an Aero AR15 lower for almost 10 years sitting on my bench, I figured I'd get to building it. I put the LPK in it (minus the trigger) when I bought the lower and just been sitting ever since. I ordered a LaRue MBT trigger and LA Ruth MBA-1 Stock and bought a MagPul...
Got my bolt back from being bushed a few days ago and had to wait for these crazy 25-40mph winds to die down before I could get out and test a few more loads and see if that bushing helped any. Well, it definitely cured the cratering! Super happy with that as it was quite annoying. Also shot 5...
A buddy of mine wanted me to load 100 rounds up for his 300 Win Mag with new Nosler brass, 200g ABs and RL22, and in return he would give me 600 Fed 210 LR primers in trade. I gladly accepted as I'm down to my last 200 LR primers, and I've yet to find any locally the last couple years. Since I...
Went back to the local gun shop in hopes they still had some of that N540, well they did and I came back with all of it. Too hard to pass up at the price, and the 223 absolutely loves it with those 75g ELDMs. Oh yah, they had a few 500 count packs of those too, so I snagged two of them as well...
Brought out the CZ457/Bartlein combo today to just get some added trigger time in, cronograph, and shoot a few different types of SK match ammo. Had the Standard yellow box, Rifle Match red box, and the Long Range Match. Shot two, 5 shot groups of each at 50 yards. Also put 10 on the 2/3 plate...
Well I was able to get out this afternoon and finish my ladder with the 223 N540/75g ELDM with Lapua cases and 7.5 primers.
5 of the 6 shots went into a 1" group and I think I'm gonna play around 24.6-24.8g for around 2975fps just to be on the safe side for now. Those 2 shots were almost...
Here are all the ladders for review. 8 total, with 4 powders (IMR4895/H4895/Benchmark/IMR8208XBR) and 2 bullets (75/80 ELDMs) Shot at 300 yards.
Rifle looks like it definitely prefers the 75s, so I'm just going to concentrate on the 75s from here on out and sell or trade the 80s for more 75s. I...
Well I took my Rem 700 222 to the smith yesterday morning to do some work and just picker her up tonight. What started out as an early 700 ADL is now a long range trainer in 223 Wylde set up specifically for the 80g ELDMs. It served its purpose for many years as a calling rig for coyotes...
I have a few different assortment of 22 cal vmaxes I need to part ways with. Broke my hand at work on Tuesday and need to sell. Prices are shipped USPS small flat rate with tracking. Thanks for looking!
Have a few things I'm trying to get rid of. If you're interested in anything, shoot me a reasonable/fair offer. I'll split the shipping with you. Thanks for looking.
Bought a Sig M17 9mm a few months back with the intentions of an EDC since the times are changing in the world. I dressed it up with a few goodies. First I went with the Leupold Delta Pro Point RDS, a 1K streamlight, a sig skelotonized trigger and a Grey Guns fat rod recoil spring. It is a...
Looking for some new lapua 223 brass if anyone has an extra box laying around they want to get rid of, fat chance I know, but worth a shot.
I looked at every single online place I could think of yesterday and everyone is out of stock. I did place myself on like 5 notifications for when it does...
Did a quick ladder test with the freshly built 6 creed last week at 300 yards. Just wanted to share the results. Anyone care to take a guess where I loaded the rest of the batch up?
