Not sure what you read about the Grendel. mags may be a small setback, but brother can the darn things shoot. also you can neck down 7.62x39 cases if needs be. I was in your dilemma last year and...
I have the current lee molds with the cnc lightened look. using straight linotype I can't get them much bigger than .3135 ish, never any bigger. haven't looked at the noses, just followed the...

besides proper gas tube holes etc., one very overlooked area is installing the gas block. most barrels and builds are set up to take the carbine retaining punched metal part. this is supposed to...

all above good info. the shorter gas systems usually don't need any tweaking. the problem with adj gas blocks is access. if you don't use a shorty handgaurd you can't usually get to the adjust...

the 190 saeco worked across several 98k german and yugos for me. definitely the heavier bullets shot the best. with linotype hardness type slugs they did their best at 1800 to 1950 velocity. at 2k...

start with 16-18 grains of 748. this was my magic start for function in my 1x9 twist and noe 60 grainer. dont push velocity much past 2100 and no leading and accuracy was close to 1.25 moa. my...
