I hadn't heard of this. Looks interesting for some custom brass forming applications. If I had one, I would definitely use a light oil instead of water, though. I have enough problems fighting rust without introducing water to my dies or reloading environment. The cost seems pretty...

No, all Luke’s stuff is .45

Not to denigrate any advice given here, but your best bet on it is going to be whatever Luke recommends. He is the expert on them.

I'm a big smokeless ML fan. Yeah, what Rem7mm08 and Encore said - Get with Jeff Hankins or Luke at Arrowhead.

The multiple guns I have based on the Arrowhead ignition system, including one I built myself from scratch, shot amazingly well going with the loads I got from Luke. Well under 1 MOA. I never deviated from his initial recommended loads; never had a reason to. I'd say if you don't like how it...

What I do, and I think most others do, is go by the builder/designer's recommendations. Like for Arrowhead, Luke recommends 80gr H322 in a bolt gun and 60gr IMR4198 in the Encore barrel. I just stick with what Luke says. The gun doesn't blow up, and the performance is tops. For my Savage...

I wondered why a chronograph ad would have 22 replies. Now I see why.....

Like new GunWerks Skunkwerks special limited edition bolt action hunting rifle. Titanium receiver and brake, carbon fiber stock and 16" barrel, MDT carbon fiber grip, folding buttstock. Chambered in 6.5 PRC cartridge. Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 scope on Leupold Backcountry rings. Spiral...

Arrowhead Defiance in 300 PRC. 1/2 MOA out to 500 yd. Have taken bear and moose with it. Very pleased with the rifle. Performs better than "name" rifles costing over double what this cost.

It is absolutely possible. In fact, it's "probable", unless steps are taken to eliminate it. Most (and all custom) chambers are cut on different machines, at different times, by different people, than the boring and rifling operations. When the chamber is cut, it's a simple and routine...

What breech plug and ignition system are you @Bolo87 What breech plug and ignition system are you using?

This is for sure. American Outdoor Brands is one of those Wall Street holding companies that buys up what were once great brands, then product quality and customer service get tossed out the window so the new owners can focus on squeezing every dollar they can out of it. AOB is a horrible...

This is good to keep in mind, as I do sometimes catch myself looking at post-annealing color as being meaningful, so this is a good reminder that it's not.
