i didn’t think of that. i’ll try it and see what happens it might be. but i do know tromix only had a few barrels left and CH4D only had 1 die set let after i bought a set.0

fwiw, this was what my 270win did at 200yards with 60.5 grains of magpro, and the 170EOL. though i have a 1:8 barrel at 29" long was clocking in at 2932 BTO is 2.830 i worked up a load with the 165 ABLR around the same speed and haven’t fine tuned it but it was grouping right at .800” at 100.

finally finished load development. Hornady 200gr RN Interock 48grs of AA2520 BTO- 1.710 virgin SBR 375 SOCOM brass necked down to 358 Fiocchi LPP. Average FPS is 2252. which is plenty fast for NC game. SD/ES is crap but the group is good.

here is the original post for the rifle. https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/i-think-this-will-get-me-to-1k-maybe-1500.272584/ today, and 127 rounds later, 4 shot group is at 200, the 3 shot group is at 100. she wants to be around 2930fps. yes i’ve ran the 170 EOL and the 165ABLR up to...

I finally bought a Giraud late last year and one of the biggest things folks didn't like was setting up the...."die". Almost broke down and bought a Whidden click die ring. Instead I've been using the lock rings from the RCBS dies that come with them as I've been replacing them with the...

Glad to see the 27 getting some love even if it is with a RUM case

oh i agree. but that’ll never happen. on the flip side minute of venison is perfectly fine for me.

this is my opinion and just what i've gotten from reading around over the past years. i'm a little bias as Harrison from AR15 Performance had the 224 predator (223 projectile, 6.8 brass) that was a decent shooter but even he knew what it couldn't do at distances. i wanted one but he stopped...

oh man oh man. thank you good sir. i’ll give you a shout monday

thanks i ordered a yellow one

that’s fair, but i’ll end up doing it sometime either way lol

y’all keep this up, i’ll end up putting together a 223 AI

not gonna lie, i’m jealous you got a 358 socom. i wanted one to go along with my 358win AR10. by the time i got the coinage to get one he no longer had them up for sale. been debating on reaching out to him and seeing the best route to go or see if he had a barrel tucked back somewhere.
