Yet another post on what AR to buy...
I agree with most everything said here. As my first AR was a 223 16" barrel. This is the best entry point as far as cost to shoot and familiarize yourself and your sons with handling an AR. If you want, you can get a 22lr conversion kit. The main idea being that you only become proficient at... -
Advice needed on how to best divest from 5.56
My guess is the best you can hope for on a used gun is maybe 66% off current retail. So 33% loss of current retail value. For me I would keep them both unless for some reason you need cash. There are to many volatile things that can happen in the near future, ban on AR’s, civil unrest. Etc... -
6.5 Grendel 123 gr loads AR Comp
As a side note I did get the Sharps extreme performance bolt and ran it in my rifle. I was not happy. I was running ladders for velocity only for my 100gr ELD M’s and some 107 Smk’s. On the lowest start load the first couple of rounds stove piped. I went to single feed them. Alternatively the... -

375 Raptor
Take a fire case and before you full size it, put a comparator on the shoulder and find out what the dimension base to the shoulpder at comparator. Set the full length sizing die so that it bumps bak the shoulder .002 " or 2 thousanths. Next measurte your chamber. All chanmbers are not the... -
375 Raptor
Here you go. So case gauges are great for basically determining if your shoulder is set properly on your sizing die. I the ultimate reminder instance he did not seat the shoulders back far enough and he had problems getting his rounds into battery. To much shoulder push back and your letting... -

6.5 Grendel 123 gr loads AR Comp
I assume a 24” barrel. If you QL it or GRT it how much pressure do they predict? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
6.5 Grendel 123 gr loads AR Comp
Yes I get it, the 24” can just get there. Even the 20” can. AR comp has proven to be very accurate. I have loads 123’s and 130 RDF’s which will get you transonic to 1,000 yds from the 24”. Don’t have to go buy a Creedmoor . Although appreciate the input. For real long range work the... -
6.5 Grendel 123 gr loads AR Comp
So I thought about the dwell time and over gassing issue in the 24" barrel. Read a lot of articles from different blog sites. 6.5 Grendel.com. ARr15.com etc. So, I ordered a set of three tungsten buffer weights. Just like my 308's best solution was a combination of AGB and heavier buffer. I'll... -
6.5 Grendel 123 gr loads AR Comp
FYI the rifle does have an adjustable gas block, I just have it opened all the way. Next time I go, I will just it and turn it down. A heavier buffer will help as well. Slow cycling down as well. But it’s not an automatic so not much function change and a heavier buffer will mitigate recoil as... -
6.5 Grendel 123 gr loads AR Comp
Yes. I agree to most of what people have said. There are warm loads and then there is beyond hot which will affect everything. Both from wear and tear and obvious safety concerns. I have believe I found a load data report where someone was using 28.6 gr of ARComp. Which led me down this path...
