    Alpha Industries and their AICS Magazines

    I ordered mine last February. I called after 8 weeks and he said he would send me two 5s and 1 ten to make up for missing my order. Never received anything even though he said he would send the 2 fives immediately and the 10 rnd when he made them. Tried calling for a couple months but only...

    450 Bushmaster Vs 45 Raptor

    I looked at a 45 raptor while I was putting a parts list together for my 6.5 CM AR10 and decided it was the best option. When it comes down to it, I'll still want to reload and buying factory is never an option unless you wanna pay high prices and not maintain the same load your gun was tuned...

    R700 SA build... 7SAUM?

    That's the spirit! Again, elkaholic is the one who came up with it. Rich Sherman is his name, hence sherman shortmag. It's really a super round, but you can't go wrong with the SS, SAUM, or 7mm-08. Just depends on what you want. The saum and SS wI'll cost about the same with performance...

    AR10 reciever shortage?

    On the flip side, Obama has increased gun sales and exploded the size of the industry so it might mean a period of very cheap prices and bankrupt manufacturers if people calm down with trunp in office. However, a lot of other fear has stemed from this now to with zombies and doomsday and every...

    R700 SA build... 7SAUM?

    If you don't want to deal with making brass, Rich can set you up with brass that just needs loaded, fired, and trimmed for length after you fire. His price is comparable with 7mm SAUM Nosler brass. I think he uses norms which is what nosler uses as well and just stamps their head print on it and...

    R700 SA build... 7SAUM?

    So basically the 7SS is a 7mm SAUM based cartridge that has 40° shoulders (I think that's the number) and has the neck pushed back slightly so that you can still magfeed the ultra long bullets. I can still mag feed 195 EOL is that tells you anything in a M10 savage. The longer neck also...

    R700 SA build... 7SAUM?

    I'll tell you now those 195s are pretty thin at the nose. They will leave nothing to be desired for wound channels and will almost take a head clean off a whitetail at 2900 fps...well kinda, it took half of it but only a picture would do it justice. I've never seen so much damage and people ask...

    R700 SA build... 7SAUM?

    If you don't mind reloading, go with a 7mm Shreman Shortmag. Talk to Rich (elkaholic). I built my gun on that catridge and I get 2900 fps with a 195 eol. Easilly should get over 3000 with 180 hybrids. Many people don't like the idea of forming brass, but a lot of us have gone to pushing the...

    AR10 reciever shortage?

    Good to see its not just AR10. I'm curious as to how many vendors pulled everything off available inventory to have some for price gouging later. That's what happened with 22 ammo big time last election. Hopefully stuff comes back and does so cheap.

    AR10 reciever shortage?

    I can't seem to find any receivers in stock either upper, lower, or sets. That's for aero and mega as well as a couple others that are seemingly decent. I'm kind of leaning towards Hillary Clinton being the culprit and it's about like the last couple elections with Obama as far as gun sales...

    How light is your trigger

    2 lbs. The engagement surfaces are more critical than weight to an extent I've shot some pretty heavy triggers that felt lighter and better than lower weight triggers. I like my triggers to feel like they are on roller bearings. I spend a lot of time stoning my sears and what not to perfect...

    7mm Sherman Shortmag w/ 195 EOL hunting results

    I just figured I'd share my experience with the 195 eol coupled with the 7mm sherman shortmag. Im running around 2900-2950 fps on a 28 inch kreiger 5R barrel. 59 gr of R26 seated .02 from the lands. I have done no real load development yet because of time, but 59 gr is about as high as id like...

    7 mm SHERMAN SHORTMAG vs 7 SAUM

    I mean I'm all for that load if it works for you. My biggest concern instinctively without knowing you is that you don't know what actual pressure signs actally are because I have seen that happen and the poor guy got hurt over it, but luckily not bad. Just gas blowback from primer and a split...

    7 mm SHERMAN SHORTMAG vs 7 SAUM

    Oh, and 2 out of 3 pieces of brass at 62 grains blew out the primer pockets. Just be careful. Want to make sure you can keep contributing to LRH!!

    7 mm SHERMAN SHORTMAG vs 7 SAUM

    What grain bullet Will? With 195s, 59 grains is still hot. If I run up to 61, I get severe primer flow into firing pin hole. 59 grains gives little pressure sign including bolt lift except for ejector marks that may be due to a shiny chamber so there is no grip on the case. 64 grains...
