Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Prs shooters aren't going to spend the money to flute a barrel b/c most run through 1-4 barrels per year. doesn't make sense, just run a smaller contour to save weight in the Ar world you don't have as many options on your barrel contour so fluting can make sense, plus ar barrels are a lot cheaper and usually guys run them a lot longer than a bolt action barrel How often do most guys run a barrel? 10k rounds? more? on the stretch you are talking about 3oz, up to you on if its worth it
  2. I like the barrel, its not the end all be all but it balances well, shoots really accurate. i am very happy. I found the carbon arms gas block to fit tighter and do a better job than the supplied one. I shot mine on Sunday out to 500yards, I;ve got the 75g hornadys lining up nicely with my reticle in the 1-6. here is the 500 yard plate
  3. Std weight bcg and std a5 buffer might not be as soft but runs better than the lighter stuff with the 55's Shot again today 75 hornadys out shot the 77g Tmk at 100 I'll probably end up running between 23.5g and 24g of Tac though as it outshot the others at 100 but will shoot 200 & 300 to confirm I will end up just over 2700 fps with those Varget and the 77 g Tmk shot good 23.5 g just below 2600 fps 23g of 8208 with 75 shoots good 2650 ish fps
  4. That is the 223 entry Here is the 5.56 Data 75 HDY HPBT-M 23.2 2,738 25.8 2,994 62,145 2.260 77 SIERRA HPBT MK 22.3 2,648 24.8 2,902 61,500 2.260
  5. My voodoo was 9.5oz completed with bolt etc I think 7.5 for just bcg
  6. Here are some 100 yard groups. Shot from bench with the 6x Razor 55g fmj 69g tmk 68g I want to go back and re-shoot the 68's. During that string me and another guy pulled the trigger at the exact same time. Overall i am happy with the accuracy, its a sub moa gun. I will get some velocity numbers up soon.
  7. Yes that is correct after changing the gas block I am not experiencing the issues i was over the weekend with 24.5g Tac and 55g fmj 24.1g Tac and a 55g fmj ran great and shot better than 24.6 and 25g The gun ran 100% today with loads that didn't run through it in sunday. Thank you mark and carbon arms
  8. I put the carbon arms gas block on last night and the gun ran great today. no issues cycling what so ever.
  9. I am just starting to test out the stretch 16. I have these groups with the same ammo out of the stretch and a 16inch rainier select medcon barrel. Both are shooting good. I also had some old Tac load with 75g Hornadys. The Stretch outshot the Rainier with those but they are both pretty close with 8208. Stretch 16 - 23g 8208 with 75g Hornady vortex 1-6 at 50yds Top Target Rainer Arms Medcon 16 same load 3.5-10 Leupold at 50yards
  10. Quick range report I ended up shooting the gun with the 1-6 at only 50 yards Couldn't help it since it came in Friday. Guns weighs 9lbs with optic all set up. I did sling 3 75's under 24.5 g Tac at 300 the reticle lined up. I think around 1moa. Target has shot up. I shot mostly 68g hornady and 69g sierra Tmk with 24.5 to 26g varget Plus 24.5g tac and 23g 8208 with 75g Hornadys that have shot good in other guns. Here are some quick pics. Those are 2 and 3 inch stickers I ended up not putting a brake and ran the gun bare I was able to spot on the bench For a quick shoot I'm happy I'll put the 10x on it and shoot out to distance Did have some issues with the gun running 55g fmj and 24.5 and 25g Tac it wouldn't cycle Ran fine with the others
  11. 6 lbs 12 oz weight as pictured Had to run upstairs to weigh so left blank initially
  12. Additionall range reports
  13. Reserved for range report
  14. I just received my stretch 16 barrel assembly. After reading I saw some positives about the barrel and decided to try one out. I didn't find a ton of info so I decided to start this thread to detail my results. My goals are to have an accurate Rifle for local 2 gun competition. We typically don't shoot that far 350 to 400 yards so I was looking for a shorter barrel than the standard 18 inch but wanted an accurate sub Moa shooter and a soft shooting rifle. I realize there is no end all be all products out there, but I am always looking for products that shoot better. This is a do all gun for me and will be used for at times with a suppressor for some hunting. The parts Axts lower Vltor mur upper 15inch rail Voodoo lightweight carrier vltor ext buffer tube Jp rifle buffer spring Modded vltor buffer weighing 2.8oz Cmc single stage trigger Templar tactical / crux suppressor suppressor brake 6inch Templar/ crux 308 can enroute I just need my carbon arms gas block to show and will be all set My total bcg and buffer weight is 12.3oz. This is my first time running a lighter set up. I was not interested in trying anything lighter at this time. As far as optics I have a vortex 1-6 razor due Friday but I will test with an old 3.5-10 Leupold. Initially thoughts are the fit n finsh look good on the barrel. Cerakote is evenly applied. Barrel did need cleaning. Threads looked ok, not best machining I've seen but not worse either. I'd like to see the barrel ext to reciever a little tighter. Tightened barrel nut to 75ft lbs. Overall without an optic as pictured the gun weighs 6lbs 12oz Without an optic its balancing right on the front take down pin. As far as bullets I plan to shoot 55g fmj, 68g hornady, 75g hornady, and 69 and 77g Sierra tipped match Kings through the gun over the next few weeks I have some 52g amax loaded I'll try but won't do any load development I will be testing with full prepped lake city brass, cci primers. I plan to initially run varget, Tac and 8208 powders through the gun. I will throw the Tac n 8208 on a harrels thrower and load the varget within 1 kernel for load testing Since I have a ton of Tac that needs to get shot up. I'm going to use it with the 55g fmj. I'll mess around a tune a load for the gun. I didn't want to mess around with adj gas I have high hopes for this gun and will update this as i get out to the range. Time to get busy loading ammo
