As a side note, I tinkered around tonight since I had a little more time and the issue I was having with feeding was not related to the bedding I did on the previous floorplate nor the DBM but was due to the feed lips on that one mag being slightly more open on the end near the neck of the shell...
What’s stuck on my floor plate??? ;)
Why it's PTG's new win 70/FN SPR DBM :D

It dropped right into my floor plate inlet. I may have to remove a little...
Since you asked...
This is after I swapped the stock and skim bedded it to the action, replaced the trigger, bedded the scope mount and put a good optic on.
My best loads to date have been:
175 smk seated 2.825", varget 44.5g, Winchester brass and primer. 2546fps SD=14
168 A-Max seated...
I guess it depends on what your looking for as I have always been of the opinion that Cabelas is generally 10-15 percent or more over everyone else on many things... web and local prices. But we may not be looking at the same things. In the case of the Ruger BZ-25 (a 10/22 mag) it is/was ~21...
308 or 223? I have some pet loads for each if you reload... If your shooting beyond 200y watch how much pressure you put on the forarm. It has a habit of touching the barrel and causing your groups to string at longer distances. Eventually I ended the issues by swapping out the stock with a...
I made it out to Young’s 1000y range today.
With the AAC-260 barrel on the stiller A/W action:
I dialed 1 mil for 300y and fired groups of 5 on two loads 43 & 43.2 H4350 and both were on for elevation with the 43g charge hitting the bottom half of my 2" stick on dot and 43.2g hitting spot...
I plan too... time has been in short supply as of late. :(
I saw that on AAC's site and Midway's as well.
I have a load made for the 260 I just need to take it out long and see how it performs and get some more pics taken. The 308 is still in load work up mode. I picked up some Berger 168...
Oh... what do we have here.... ;)
Why a full custom, self assembled 260 build in the works. :D
Stiller Tac30 A/W action, AAC pre-chambered and treaded barrel, Timney trigger...
more to follow
I will be shooting the match but thought some here may be interested, and I will gladly share the FUN.

A very brief over view from the above post...
All...
Commie guns are fun to play with provided the price is right on both the gun and ammo.
That was my feeling back when SKS's were going for 100-200 and AK's about 150-200 more and ammo was around 3-5 bucks for 20. I used to blast ammo on weekends when I was younger and ammo was cheaper, for that...
Don't handicap yourself... FWIW, I can see a man size target at 1000 yards easily with a 6x scope... Is that really all you want to do? That said, at 3-4 hundred a good 10x would do well with targets MOA or larger. As to what I would buy with money a non issue, Schmidt and Bender would be the...

I also have a SPS varmint 243 and another Tactical in 223, all have been good shooters. I have put new triggers and stocks on those as well. The factory...
My experience with 223/5.56 barrel twists in AR platforms and bolt rifles... A 1:9 twist will shoot well with 45-69 weight bullets and may shoot 75 & 77 also but not necessarily guaranteed. While 1:7 twists will shoot 60-80 grain bullets well and some lighter bullets handle the...
My Dept made the switch from a G22 (40cal) to G21(45acp )and most of our officers fell the recoil is less, but that is 40 vs. 45, compared to my G19 with full power loads in both... yeah there’s more recoil but it’s still manageable. I personally detest the G21 due to the fact that I am nowhere...
Transporting a firearm into Michigan is no problem. It should be stored in a container of some type (soft or hard case) unloaded and separate from ammunition. If your vehicle has a trunk keep it there, if you’re in a truck/suv it needs to be inaccessible to the occupants. This is for handguns...
Rifle performance in a handgun... 9x25... end of story.
As for 357 mag performance, very few auto's can lauch a 125 grain bullet 1500fps and faster. the 357 sig is a good round but it's no 357 magnum... 9x25 can. I shot next open class 9x25 launching 100 grainers at +2000fps, there was no...
The replacement extractor kit from Brownells comes with instructions, follow those on making adjustments to the extractor for proper tension. This took me an extra try to get right. First time it was too tight but with a little opening up of the ring all appeared to be well on attempt two. Now...
Shortly after coming home from a precision rifle training class I took last year (put on by Rifle’s Only, great class BTW) I decided to hit the range a few days later and review my notes of what had been taught and put it into practice. Hopefully retaining more of the great lessons learned in...
