I have just purchased a new AMP Annealer and I prepared some brass in various calibers to mail to AMP for their free calibration service. I sent two batches of Lapua brass for the 6.5x47 Lapua. As I was preparing to send them off, I decided to measure the neck thickness with a tubing or ball mic. I ...

I had my first outing yesterday with my just built 204 Ruger AR. As far as magazines go, it was a disaster. I have three types of magazines and attempts to feed from any of them resulted in a destroyed case. I'm working on that. My rifle specs are as follows: CMMG Lower with Timney drop in trigger a...

Is anyone here shooting a AR-15 in 204 Ruger using ASC 20 round magazines?

I will use this post as an introduction. I have built 2 other AR uppers. a .223 Varmint gun and a 6.5 Grendel with a Krieger Varmatch barrel. Both of those projects turned out very well so now I will be doing a Shilen barreled .204. I will be learning the ins and outs of reloading the .204 in a gas ...
