I remember you posted that 1/2x28 was to get a grip at legal 16", was wondering if at 10" it had enough for 5/8x24 and you still went with 1/2

1/2x28 for mine, long and short

ranger 3?

Thank you for replying. Some more questions if you don't mind, Are you using GC (gas check) on your bullets? Not sure if you help at all Have you used the same weight/manufacture, hardness, bullet all 500? I roll my own 180's GC from wheel weights and would like to use those over store bought jacke...

Funny you should ask, I've been trying to break my can open for two days finally managed after some persuasion. Yes I've encountered a couple problems: i) lead build up in my can I've never seen lead build up like this on a centerfire bolt gun can, yes I'm shooting lead bullets, but this much! BEFOR...

I'm in the same boat but with a 9mm tirant. I've tried sending to SRI to jailbreak but they won't take it. I'm open to ideas as long as it doesn't involve me doing it.

The best paint I've personally seen is cerakote. M240 took 300 rounds in 4 min to burn it off Which version of cerakote did you use? I would assume it was the C-series. I didn't apply it but I am pretty sure they air-cooled it which appears to be the C. Unfortunately I only have a picture of KG Gun...

I'm pretty certain they are the low rings. I'll check tonight. I like a strong cheekweld. If you push real hard you can get the bolt knob to touch the scope bell but its minor. On a side note. I shot the last few of the 300 grainers through my suppressor they sounded great. Must of been stable, no b...

I was finally able to run some of the 300 grainers through my chrono. Distance was 10' from chrono. No suppressor. I didn't check for stability either. I wanted to see if this was worth pursuing first. I only shot one of the original 300 grainers that showed high pressure signs with 4.3gr W231 it ra...

I loaded up 20 rnds with 4.3gr W231 to test stability. I shot 2 of them, into the mud on the edge of the tank, without my can on. Both shots had signs of high pressures, stiff extraction and primers were really flat, so I quit shooting them. I have no idea how fast they where going since I didn't ha...

its probably 135dB at the muzzle maybe less but at the ejection port I would guess more like 140dB or more.

I'll be testing 300 grainers this weekend. The bullets are 1.227" long. The COAL is just short enough to fit in the mag and function. Not sure on a powder charge. I'll probably try 4.5gr of W231 and see what that gives me. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/ptaylor/photo_zps9a339ab0.jpg I hop...

Not sure it this will help or not. 247gr hunters cast bullet out of a 11" ruger 77/357 barrel clocks an average of 998fps with 5.2gr of W231.

It makes an incredible difference. I built this 22-250 just so I would have a rifle for this can. Its a thread on SAS 5.56 can.

I was able to do some chrono work today. 10 shots of my standard 246gr load averaged 973.5fps with an Es of 14.74 and a Sd of 4.47. I also tried some mag rifle primers. 10 shot average 968.6 with an Es of 20.22 and a Sd of 5.74. Right before I had the barrel chopped this same load, the first one, th...

Very Nice - notice any increase in noise compared to longer barrel? None that I can hear. I bet you could pick something up with a meter. Remember, it could be more quiet, some suppressor designs work better with higher pressures. I should be able to do some chrono work this week. I'm also interest...

It works! 91 yards.

Its done. And its so awesome. Ended up being 10.5". http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/ptaylor/photo2-25.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/ptaylor/photo1-26.jpg I'll try and chrono some of the same loads I've been shooting through the new short barrel and see how much it slowed down. I...

My smith is all backed up with work so I took it hunting again before the cut down.

Javie approved

My SBR form 1 is approved.. and my MGM 1:12 fast twist barrel is in.. shoots my 300 gr bullets like a dream! No leading with gc now that i don't have that POS T/C freebore chamber. I sent MGM a dummy 300 gr round to cut the chamber to. Just right. :-) My 230 gr Thunderhead loads go super with the 2...

Bender,
All you need to do is make an excellent 10rnd mag for this.

No issues. 100lb doe at 66 yards through lungs. Ran 30 yards and piled up.

Look! Its a cross bow!

No gas checks. Lots of lead build up. I've only dipped my can once so far and it had pretty bad build up. Don't get me wrong though, you could probably shoot 2000rnds though it before you saw and degredation in performance. I clean my barrel by shooting 5 shots of full house FMJ 357 mag though it an...

Did a batch of 250 rounds on my Dillon. I've about gone though the first batch. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/ptaylor/photo1-20.jpg Typical 5 shot group at 100 on a 8" plate. I usually have 3 or 4 stack on top of each other and then some flyers. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/ptayl...
