Newbie reloading question:
I am just starting into reloading, well acquiring the gear to do it really. Has anyone taken factory match loads apart just to balance out the amount of powder? Hornady 140gr ELDs, the largest variance in the spread is up and down(about 1moa), so figuring tightening the powder load would reduce the groups or is this just being stupid |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scotts556:
I would not pull and mess with the powder. I would leave it as it is. Correct it in your reloads and not the factory ammo. Generally factory ammo is not off the shelf powder. Its blended for the application. There are lots if things Id mess with. but factory ammo is not one. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Scotts556:

5,500 rounds is a lot of rounds. I only have about 1,300 through mine.
If you do not mind I am curious as to how the rifle has held up. What caliber is it and what type of shooting do you do? Also, I am curious if you contacted Ruger about the problem and if so what their response was. |

I can't remember the exact amount of twist to remove but it isn't much. And the same is true to reinstall. Otherwise you drop the firing pin. Then it's a pain recocking the thing.

Ok, i am frustrated.
I want a reasonable bipod but am at a loss on how to make it work ok. I am down to just buying a harris bipod and using thier keymod adapter for an overpriced $35. I looked on google and amazon, but dont really see many cheaper options for getting a bipod on the handguard that aren't plastic or bulky. I absolutely want a pivoting bipod. What is everyone doing that isnt buying $300 bipods? |

Buy a Harris. What is so difficult about that?
My rifle came with a sling swivel mount. If yours did too then use that. If you want to get fancier then buy a 1913 rail section, mount it to your hand guard, and buy one of of the 1913 mounts for the Harris. |

This is what the Mount-N-Slot keymod bipod mount (I linked to it a few posts up) looks like on the Gen 1 samson rail. It'll look the same on any round keymod rail, including the Gen 2.

I think mine was a Yankee hill bipod mount. I like it better than the rail section plus it cut just a bit of weight off. I know several people that just added another sling stud to the center of the rail. But I'm not fond of having the rail on it if I want to use bags or the machine rest.
