Just an observation....if you have a TI made silencer like the Banish 30 and only want to clean every 500 rounds or so, plan on having a very tall narrow container to hold the can and fill it with CLR. Leave for a day or more. Then use the tool to disassemble. Don't even try to disassemble...
I had posted this in the Varmint Thread but are hoping many of you target a few threads and might not have caught that. Just looking for a little more feedback if there is any out there. These darn new guns are expensive.
.....Curious if any of you have experience with either the original...
Yikes....there is not alot of reveiws to read but this is about the worst I have read. I know the Gen 1 like lots of older ARs struggle when adding a supressor ect. The new one has an update gas block that fixes that....so they say.
Will have to keep reading.
Thanks for the info.

Curious if any of you have experience with either the original version Franklin Armory F17 from the 2014-18 period or there updated F17 that is available now? It is a lot of $$ and want to get feedback that accuracy (as best as can be expected from WSM ammo) and reliability are good.

I believe in the .257 cal, other than the larger 133 or 135 grain newer offerings, they only had the 115 grain VLDs...but yes I would trade even up or ever round up to a full box for your partials. As long as these are the 115 grain .257 cal.

Are you saying when the new springs are installed, they coil up on the firing pin which causes contact with the bolt body? or the old springs. I changed mine also but when with Gretac springs. https://www.gretanrifles.com/product-page/chrome-silica-spring-short-action

That is my go to powder with 180VLDs in my Sendero 7RM. I ended up at 70 grains. I would start at 65 and work up. I found .-070 OTL to be the best seating depth. I am within a few FPS of 3000.
You may have found this site for some guidance. They also have a really cool phone app that is a...
For a quick on and off, ability to shoot off a bench all the way up to shooting shitting through tall grass...the Hatch just works. Just in on 4 cow elk hunts now.

Vihtavuori 500 series powders give lots of options. You want to pick the 500 series powder that best matches the bullet weight for caliber. N570 achieves amazing results with 190 grain and heavier in a STW. Same with a 180 grain in a standard RM. If shooting 180s in a STW I would drop to 565...
