    Fierce rifles

    I picked up a carbon rouge 7 prc. A buddy that has helped with load development with several rifles recommended the Fierce over the Christiensen Ridgeline at that price point. He said all of the Fierces shot well, and they had to fight several of the Christiensens. Mine has shot great. I only...

    Tikka M595 or T3X?

    Thanks for the info on the COAL. Great news on Stocky's making an M695 stock. I would certainly be interested. What stock and when do you think it will be out?

    Tikka M595 or T3X?

    I just inherited a M695 stainless 270. I am playing around with load development and it shoots great. It is quite a bit heavier than a TX3 and the synthetic stock is average at best. There aren't many options for a stock replacement. Wayne York (Oregonsmithing in Pendleton) will make one and...

    270 Win 165 ABLR Load Data - Quickload?

    I had a 1:9 twist put on a 270 win and picked up some 165 ABLR to try. I am not seeing much for load data out there for this combo since the standard 270 win won't stabilize this bullet. I suspect that load data for the 160 partition would be a good starting point since that bullet likely has...

    7mm PRC Dies

    I picked up the Hornady match grade dies. Now figuring out neck bushing size..... I watched the Hornady video on picking a bushing size. I am getting around 0.016 on the unfired Peterson brass. I Just used my regular calipers, not ball calipers they suggest. Does that sound about right? I am...

    7mm PRC Dies

    Thanks for the info. Very helpful. I do plan on trying the 175 Berger EOL, and I know others have had great luck with the 168 and 180 hybrids. I have always liked the Accubond style of bullet, but the frangible bullets seem to be the consensus with these true long range setups. I will...

    7mm PRC Dies

    Bumping this. I have some Peterson brass on order, a few powders and bullets to try. All of my other die sets are the standard RCBS in a Rockchucker, and they have worked fine for me, and I usually can put together a load that shoots 0.5" - 1 MOA. I am going to be expecting more out of the 7...

    Few Final Suppressor Questions

    He just said he had a few random ones recently that were approved in 30 days, and the only thing in common was that their last names all started with H, I, or J (assuming that approvals were being assigned alphebetically). He wasn't guaranteeing me anything, just said it was weird and maybe I...

    Few Final Suppressor Questions

    Thanks for all of the info and help. I found a few more resources, and decided to get Scythe-Ti on order today to go onto a Fierce Rogue Carbon 7 PRC with a 20" barrel. The dealer said that last names starting with H, I, or J had been clearing within 30 days for some reason, so my fingers are...

    Should I have my barrel shortened for suppressor?

    When cutting down a barrel, what is the minimum diameter required to be able to thread for the standard 5/8-24?

    Few Final Suppressor Questions

    As these TI suppressors get lighter and lighter, are they starting to lose their durability for use as a hunting rifle? Just wondering if this is at all an issue as they fight for as light as possible. It looks like AB is running a deal right where the Raptor comes with a free .22 suppressor.

    Few Final Suppressor Questions

    Thanks for those references. Great data. A lot of great responses. Thanks for the help. In my dealer's defense, I think overall value of the Thunder Chicken also came into play, and they are currently covering the cost of the license with the purchase of can. So, are these brake combos more...
