    Odd speed increase?

    Got something here that I haven't seen to this extent before (though I've loaded all my other guns closer to well established loads/lengths/milder pressures)... New .243AI barrel (factory Tikka, rechambered by Kampfeld), first 10 rounds 48.5 to 52.5 H1000, getting moderately crunchy/compressed...

    AR triggers

    So I know this has been beat to death all over the Internet, but why not one more thread? .223 on big game has been talked about all over the Internet too, but lots of bad info based on feels or wrong assumptions. I'm planning on putting new triggers in a couple of AR's, and right now about 90%...

    Kids rifle manifesto

    I've chimed in on so many different "what rifle for my age XX kid?" threads that I thought I'd try to consolidate my thoughts here. My oldest son is 14 now, started shooting centerfire rifles at 9. My younger kids started shooting centerfire rifles at between 5-7 yrs old. 5 kids shooting now...

    Sold LRHS 4.5-18 MOA

    Time to let this one go, it's the last MOA scope I've held on to. I'm 50/50 on a MIL LRHS vs a Maven RS1.2 to replace it. I've loved this scope; it's never let me down, shifted zero, or failed in any way. It was my entry point to very reliable dialing scopes, and was truly a game changer for...

    Redding die question

    Ok, so I have what is probably a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find an answer. Why are the Redding Competition bushing neck dies cartridge specific? If the neck die isn't supposed to touch the shoulder, why does it matter what the body of the case is? Obviously the body die needs...

    Sold .243 AI dies, .243 Lapua brass

    Working on a .243 AI build, and looking for dies and good brass. Looking for FL dies, never done bushing but would consider going that route. Long shot ideal would be unfired Lapua brass, but a couple of firings wouldn't scare me either.

    WTS Minox ZX-5 2-10

    Made in Germany ZX-5 2-10x50 BDC reticle, MOA dials. I've dialed it quite a bit, and tracking/RTZ/zero retention has been very good. That said, it's not ideal for dialing with the capped turrets, and no zero stop. Stadia to 17 MOA in the reticle. (Billed as 800 yard BDC with 200 yard zero)...

    Ruger American Compact 7mm-08 Currently has a Minox ZX-5 2-10 on it (German made, BDC reticle that lines up really well with the 120 grain NBT load I have for it) that could go with it or not, depending on what you want.

    Sold Savage 110 .308

    110 .308 win. Started life as a .243, it got a new .308 take off barrel a few years ago. Probably 1000 rounds on it, give or take. The factory trigger is adjusted well, light and crisp (better than any accutrigger I've used). It's shot everything I've tried in it quite well. Factory (blue box...

    Head stamped starline vs resized lapua vs mixed lot lapua

    I'm looking at doing a 243AI, and trying to decide what brass to get (planning on 200-300 pieces, hoping for one and done for the life of the barrel). Currently starline is available, and affordable. Lapua 243 is out of stock everywhere (seems like maybe for good or at least going to be a...

    Tikka .243 AI

    Who has rechambered their 8 twist Tikka .243? Do you run LA mags and bolt stop? I mocked up a .243 case with 108 ELDM and got 2.94ish with boat tail junction at neck/shoulder junction. Seems like this is potentially the peak of the convenience/velocity curve? Considered a 6x55 or 6-284 or...

    Goldilocks 6mm between 6CM and 6UM?

    What's the best way to hit 3kish fps with a 108 from an 18" barrel? Don't need or want the 3300+ and associated headaches of the UM, and would be happy with CM velocity from a 24" barrel. But since getting my first, I've decided that I want to use suppressors on everything. Bonus points for...

    Rifle ranges near McCall, ID?

    Kicking around the idea of moving from Hailey area to McCall-ish. I have a couple of easy button options to shoot 1000+ yards here, wondering what there is up that way for long-ish range (I think I could live with 600-800) rifle shooting. I have a couple of spots around here that I can go set up...
