    This one has been built using a PTR91 barrel which uses conventional 6 groove RH twist rifling.

    How bad can too much powder make accuracy?

    Dealing with a CETME, roller locked semi auto in 7.62x51. Rifle shoots just fine with commercial jacketed ammo.

    I'd start at 12gr and work up till you get reliable cycling and quit there. Don't take huge steps, 0.25gr increase at a time. Pressures go up quick in a heavy bullet load in the blackout. What...

    After playing around with what a 7.62x39 can do in a bolt action I'm pretty well sold on it's versatility. I chose it over any of the rimmed cases because it will happily work in autoloaders like the...

    The fast powders like Unique and Red Dot and such won't cycle a gas gun.

    Stuff in the RE7, 4227, H110, 296, LilGun, 5744, 1680 range of burn rates will cycle an AR-15.

    The hang up with pushing plain base or a gas check bullet without a gas check with full loads and accuracy is that you have to reject any bullets with base defects, and that can make your reject pile...

    I was having those same marks but changing magazine type fixed it for me. The rounds weren't stacking right in the mag and were feeding funny.

    With the Lee 155gr I load them to where the case to the top groove on the bullet and they feed just fine in my AR. I size them to .309 though, not .310.

    That was a concern I had too. The only reason I was going to try it was because it had apparently been done with success in the past.

    Found a bottle of Boyd's Customs liquid yellow wax at Ollies Outlets for $2. It looks pretty promising. No abrasives, just wax and solvent, and it's pretty thin.

    Anyone here use a HEPA filter unit when they cast? I picked up one and run it so that it draws the smoke off the top of the pot and filters it. Seems to work good for the smoke anyway.
