Bought my SSA-E trigger a week too soon!

Why are you selling if you don't mind me asking. I have that exact same scope on back order right now

Bump for a sweet rifle. Just waiting on parts for my Grendel build. Should be easily be able to reach out to 1,000 with this one

Was looking into this die for reloading a 6.5 Grendel AR. I heard it reduces pushback when loading in semi autos. For those in the horde that use this die are you having to buy bushings for it? If so what bushings are you using? Would the standard Redding Full Length Sizer die be sufficient? Guys with other 6.5 size carterages feel free to chime in as well. TIA

Thanks for the advise. Been a long week so I haven't been able to reply. My current factory Hornady loads measure .288. I figure I will use a .287 bushing to reload these. I intend to switch to Lapua brass which I head is a little thicker so I'll order a .288 bushing for these. Pushback is the bullet moving back in the casing when loaded as L Cazador described. i don't want to use a crimper die si achieving a good neck tension is desirable.

I ended up going with a Lilja AR 24" barrel for my 6.5 Grendel build. Still waiting on parts to finish it but I'm hoping for a tack driver

Any one own or have experience using their barrels? Looking at them for my next build.

Building a 6.5 Grendel now I plan to hunt with

+1 I've had quite a few barrels from quite a few different manufacturers and to this day Lilja is one of my favorites. I've had 2 Lilja barrels and they were awesome. Surgical accuracy. Sometimes I wonder why I don't use them more often. Chasing the next latest and greatest all the time I guess... I was looming into them a while back but they were all sold out. Just checked again and most of then are back in stock! Was looking at the AR24 23" barrel to get a little more juice out of the round for long range shots. Anyone used this barrel in a build?

Cool. Thanks for the imput

That must have hurt coming out!

I'll have to give them a look. Was looking at Underground Tactical, Lilja and E.R. Shaw. Still doing research on which I like best. Probably going to go for a 22-24" barrel for a little bit better ballistics. Everything I read is you need a longer barrel to get the bullet up to speed.

I'm starting a 6.5 Grendel upper build. Any of you guys built one and if so what barrel did you use. I'm looking to make a tack shooter that I can shoot long range with. Thanks

Fill the holes with epoxy. Shoe Goo might catch since it is a little bit softer when it dries.

I have seen elk shot high in the body cavity with both a rifle and bow through both lungs and they didn't produce a blood trail. The blood all seemed to fill the body cavity and never reached the entrance or exit hole. I respect your guys decision to only shoot one deer if he knew he hit it. Sucks losing something but we have all had it happen.

I have the same tag. If I can find a patch if ground without hunters in it I will be happy. Way to many tags this year

We went three for three this year but had to work for them. That hunt is getting tougher and tougher

They were up at 10000-11000 feet during the second week.

Probably the a taxidermists colection of animals that clients ended up not paying for

Happend upon this article today and thought it was a pretty good read http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/tagged-out/the-science-behind-the-100-yard-bow-shot?src=SOC&dom=fb

Red/ white red devil spoons and 3" fish shaped plastics on a jig head work best for me for the pike/ walleye. I use chicken liver at night for the catfish

Depends on the judge and how the deputy can articulate that his radar was working properly

I'm heading to Lake Powell next week for the first time in a very long time. Anyone have any fishing tips for this lake they would be willing to share? Heard the small mouth fishing has been really good lately. Thanks

Ended up catching about 20 small mouths, 5 catfish at camp and one decent stripes. Weather was perfect but the water was still a little cold.
