    7saum 2.870"

    Being in an ar10 has limits and it's the 2.870". Thus the question? I agree that it's short, but it is what it is. Doing my best to keep the boattail out of the body, but might have some in it?

    non-lpvo option

    looking for something in the 1,500 to 2k $ range with max magnification no less than 15 and no more than 30 what would be a good choice(s) not a horus fan, but drop and drift wouldn't make any difference whether it be counted as a + or -.

    7977

    Primers in large rifle are unstable on availability, so I'll get what I can. Maybe I need an insider to locate what I need.

    7977

    I have 1# of this and not sure what to do with it as I haven't used any before. Originally bought it for 264wm heavy loads, but never started any development. Is this ever going to be in stock again or has it been completely discontinued? Could it be ok in 243win or 270win?

    7saum 2.870"

    with this being a limiting factor, what is the heaviest bullet(s) you've loaded for this? powder and velocity isn't of interest, but can be added if you want? i'm not looking for debates, just possible suggestions for anything 180 and heavier. going from published data it varies across...

    Winchester Staball HD Load Data

    Burn rate might be close, but case fill can decide.

    Winchester Staball HD Load Data

    Sounds like Match would be a better fit than 6.5 or HD then

    Useful range of 5.56, 1:7 twist, 16" barrel? (loaded question, pun intended)

    7 twist will cover all weights except the 95's. However, the rpm's might destroy the bullet on the light and fast 1's. 16" will keep the velocity down which will keep the rpm's down. My 5.56 (including 223wylde) barrels all have 8 twist except 1 w/7t @ 20" barrel.

    Ball Joints Argh!

    Al 4 new 1's are on then dropped off to get an alignment. This way all 4 can wear the same. I'd rather have tires that are in good shape when getting aligned. Doesn't have to be new, just good shape. My 1st alignment was on a '65 vette back in '84. 4-wheel alignment to be exact.

    Ball Joints Argh!

    Helps fight road walk, especially in high wind conditions. My dad's '03 has only 70k and no engine work. There was a guy that had an '04 w/ 21k on it that lost 6 injectors and the turbo. We were 1 mile of my house when it started blowing white smoke out the exhaust. I had him turn it off...

    Ball Joints Argh!

    My son's 16 1/2 ton had very bad tire wear after a minor incident. Hit a deer, all air bags deployed causing him to go off the road hitting small trees before coming to a stop. All body work was done correctly. While it was there I requested the check alignment. They didn't as I found...

    What would you do 7mm….20” mid length Saum or Long PRC for the 180s

    I'd say the answer is in mag length? I have a 7saum and 7-08 (both in AR's). I chose the saum over the wsm due to restricted length ans wsm would suffer requiring the heavies being so deep. I'm sure your question has to do with ba's. Don't know what gain possibilities the prc will give...

    Hornady Brass Opinions

    I've been using super-x from the late 70s and early 80s to this date. Unfortunately I only have it for 264wm. Hornady is more abundant and might be fine for range days, but I only just acquired ppu, Norma and adg in a few cartridges. Not able to do any comparisons yet. My ocd doesn't...
