Lehigh 110gr Controlled Chaos

Just got a box of these, I will use H110 loads, and my Lee FCD.
anybody else using these, they look promising, and the Barnes 110 black tips, did not shoot particularly well (factory ammo).

Re: Real accuracy expectations of AAC 16" MPW

The randomness of your symptoms would lend one to think it is a issue with the gun and not the ammo. I'ts not highly probably the AAC barrel came from the factory damaged. Eliminating scope and shooter issues I would look to gun part integration and make sure everything is fitting tight if you have...

Re: Real accuracy expectations of AAC 16" MPW

And the weather has been near perfect, with several days being almost textbook E.G. 70f, 70% humidity, within feet of sea level, either zero wind or a very slight wind straight out of the south (into your face range on north south radial)

I will post up some targets latter today.

Re: Real accuracy expectations of AAC 16" MPW

You can try diagnosing some problems with a bore sight. Visual inspection the bore looks fine, I even cleaned it thoroughly, about 80 rounds back. I don't have access to a camera style setup. Barrel to action seem great with no movement (I had run into that with a previous AR) and with the URX 3.1 ...

Re: Trigger

Be cautious polishing or stoning a stock AR trigger, the hardened surfaces are very thin. The ALG trigger is made by Bill Geissele's Wife I have shot (and dry fired) some very nice feeling RRA 2 stage triggers, I just hear [read] too many stories of them going soft. My Geissele SSA-E (Super Semi Aut...

Re: 458 Socom Talk?

If a .458 SOCOM is recoiling REALLY hard , chances are you are over pressure. My 18" midlength shoots pretty smooth, until I exceed safe loads. It is a noticable change in recoil, from not bad, to a good kick (and brass pressure sign) 35,000 psi is the safe limit, to prevent the lugs shearing (...
