  1. Monotubes don’t require a barrel clamp... barrel clamps are bad because every time you take the clamp off to clean the gun and then re install it the POI of your slugs will change.  Monotubes are one monolithic  tube unlike extensions that  reduce  the chance for the follower, spring or shell to get bound up on while shooting. Monotubes are less likely Fail when dumping your shotgun into a barrel. The weakest part of a shotgun tube extension in where you thread on the extension. If that breaks your match will be done unless if you carry’s spare and the tools to get the broken hreads out. Bottom line is a RCI Monotube is the way to go if you can afford it but don’t let the hold you back from getting in the game. Shoot what you have and can afford and build upon that. 

     

  2. How much clearance is needed between the top of the gasblock and the sides of the gas tube channel of the handguard? I installed a SLR sentry 7 set screw version on a SLR 16.5" solo lite and I maybe have a 1/32 clearance before it would hit the sides of the gas tube channel on the handguard. I know that using a comp most of the force will be pushing the barrel down so I'm assuming I will be ok.... what's everyone's thoughts? 

  3. I'm running a 18" Rifle length gas Proof barrel with a JP low mass BCG.

     

    I was leaning towards  H355 for my 55gr and IMR 8208 XBR for my 77gr. One of our local club matches has targets out to 600 yards consistently so I would like to work up a load for longer distances. 

  4. Just cutting my teeth in the rifle reloading game.. I'm looking to load some 55gr bullets for mainly punching paper at 3-Gun competitions but would also like to use them out to 200yrds on plates if needed. What's everyone's go to powder for loading short range rifle rounds? I am also looking to load up some 77gr for 2-600yd range... do  you use the same powder as you 55gr loads  or do you use something different  for more precision shooting?  I should also add that I will be loading on a Dillon 650 and I have read that some powders do meter well due to their shape. 

         Thank you for your help! 

  5. Just starting to reload and I'm trying to work up a load with Berrys 147gr RN and Tightgroup for my 2011. Just curious if 2011 shooters are finding better accuracy with longer OAL and if so how long are you loading your 147gr RN? 

  6. Wondering what's my best sling option for my shotgun. Is the proctor sling a good option or should I put a Noveske QD stud into the stock but what would my option be for the forend? I run a RCI monotube so I don't have or want to run a barrel clamp.

  7. Wondering what bullet weight and shape people have found are the most accurate. I have been shooting the remainder of my Freedom NEW 147 RN that I was shooting in my G34 and in my 2011 it's produceing a 3" group at 25 yards. I'm thinking that I should be able to get better groups then 3". Please let me know if you have found a different weight or shaped bullet is more accurate.
