I just want to address the ‘issue’ with the alpha brass necks. This is a very common thing to deal with in match-grade brass. I’ve seen it with ADG, Alpha and Lapua before. I know everyone wants to do as little as possible to get good handloads but sometimes that’s not an option.
When you get...
For sale is a right hand Bowtech Insanity CPXL right hand 70 lb 29 inch draw with a new vaportrail string. Will come with vaportrail limb driver rest. It is Mossy Oak tree stand finish. It had been my backup bow for the last 4 seasons so it mainly sits in a bow case. It has a little cosmetic...
I’ve shot a coyote with it but will have to wait until October for larger critters. This one was hit 3” behind the shoulder, 1/3 up from belly line. Didn’t go 20
I’ve been very happy with an 8 twist mullerworks barrel. It’s a 4 groove like I believe the Ace barrels are. I am pushing 88s at 3200 and 62 eldvts at almost 3600 out of a 22” barrel. Alpha srp brass
I’m going to buy the 55s today or tomorrow. I’ll report back once I have it in hand. I’ve used the Kowa 66a, 99a and several Swaro full size spotters. My buddy has the ATC which I’ll try side by side to compare at some point as well.
I’m getting insane speeds with no pressure signs shooting 62 eld-vts and rl26. It’s kind of a magic powder in lots of cartridges. Unfortunately it’s damn difficult to find.
Shot them today in my 22” 22 Creed

The 47.0 gr load shot the best for me.
Reload at your own risk, these were fine in my chamber but may not be in yours. I have a .219 bore 4 groove barrel.
Weird, I wonder what the difference is. I totally believe your experience. I wonder if relative humidity of your location would affect it? It’s very low humidity where I live now.
I really don’t understand what the issue is with people and inserts with these arrows. I’ve built at least 4 dozen of them and never had an insert pull out using the Easton hit insert epoxy and the Day 6 epoxy.
Here is what I do so that if you are having issues please compare: 1)square arrow...
I have for sale a set of Leica Geovid R 10x42 rangefinding binoculars. I purchased these last year and took them on two hunts. They are in perfect condition and will come with the original box and all of the accoutrements seen in the pictures. $875 shipped
It’s insanely simple to install the hit inserts yourself. Just order the shafts how you want and order a pack of the hit inserts for .204 diameter arrows. The inserts come with epoxy, the little installation tool and the two part epoxy. If you need more help dm me or search on YouTube “install...
Ben,
I shoot exclusively SRP in all of my Creedmoor and Dasher rounds and have never had any ignition issues down to some extremely low temps in Montana over thousands of rounds. I’m not sure how real the “LRP is more reliable for ignition” argument is. The first time I remember hearing it was...
Defiance’s reputation for any lack of reliability is from people who order their action super tight fitting like a bank vault because they love that feel and then come out west and shoot in dusty, dirty conditions. Then they will feel the grit in their raceways and complain or try to close the...
I’ve had two of them. I’ve sent two of them down the road in favor of traditional stocks. It was an easy choice when I simply swapped the barreled action out of the hnt26 and my stock and compared my groups.
FWIW I have shot lots of chassis rifles in competition and still prefer a chassis in...
