    Fast twist 25cal build

    I built my 257 weatherby with a 1:7 twist. I am currently shooting 128gr Hammer Hunters and 135gr Bergers. Both shoot very well, .5MOA or so. My barrel is a 26" carbon wrap from Oregon Mountain Rifles. Under a hot charge of H1000 the 128gr Hammers are slung at 3340fps. The Bergers are not...

    Twist for 257 weatherby

    Have you tried? I bet the Bergers will stabilize.

    Twist for 257 weatherby

    The copper marks are the group of 3 from Hammer. And the silver marks are the 3 berger 135gr. That is 500 yard groupings.

    Twist for 257 weatherby

    1:7 is how I built mine. It slings the 128gr Hammer Hunter really well. 135gr Bergers fly well too. Berger assured me that the 115gr HLVD will not come apart from the twist if I wanted to go lighter again.

    Running 30 Cal through a 45 Caliber Can?

    I shoot 300 win mag thru a Deadair Primal 458 can all the time. The sound is just fine.

    Suppressor for 10.5" Pin & Weld AR

    That is how I have it setup right now, but having the ability to put a stock on it seems like a more fun approach. 🤣

    Suppressor for 10.5" Pin & Weld AR

    It is a pistol currently, but it would be nice to not have to SBR it.

    Question for all

    I would look at something with manageable on recoil unless you plan to shoot super long range. 6.5 CM 6.5PRC 7mm-08 or AI The rifle I bought my 9yr old isn't heavy, probably 8.5lbs scopes in 6.5 PRC and it is super manageable on recoil. Even in a slightly lighter package it shouldn't be a...

    What is the longest shot you have made on a live target

    280yrds on a cow elk with a 257 Weatherby Mag. 650yrds on a prairie dog with a 22-250. It took a couple shots to dial it in.

    Suppressor for 10.5" Pin & Weld AR

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for a suppressor for a 556 AR with 10.5" barrel that I can pin and weld to the gun to make it a 16" integral suppressor gun? I want something that isn't super heavy but will take some decent fire rate. No full auto or crazy mag dumps, but normal semi...

    Smallish 375 cal Muzzle Brake?

    I understand. I built a 26" 257 weatherby before I had suppressors and don't think I will use 1 on it because of the length. Now that I have 1 though I am planning rifles around the idea of shorter barrels to use with suppressors. I am working on a 20" 9.3x62 right now. I almost ordered it at...

    Ruger American Gen 2 6mm arc

    My 12yr old son and I built an AR upper in 6mm ARC for him, and honestly it is one of my favorite to shoot.

    Ruger American Gen 2 6mm arc

    They just released them maybe 6 weeks ago. I saw my first 1 yesterday at Sportsman's. I am probably going to get 1 at some point, 6mm ARC is a cool little round.
