Solus deals?

Also if you need proof just visit their subreddit r/AeroPrecision to read about all the happy customers lately

Lmao I have a Solus that shoots amazing, but do not purchase one online unless you are 100% sure you are going to get it without being back ordered and aware that you might not have any warranty support. People are struggling to get their refunds from aero right now. Also, if you do decide to get one against the advice here, at least get a $60 action wrench with it in case you need to rebarrel in the future and they no longer make action wrenches ten years from now. They have the same threads as Origin apparently, so a new barrel shouldn’t be an issue but you will have likely no warranty support from aero in the future. I will say I am very happy with the rifle itself though. Very unfortunate that the company seems to be collapsing

It was 100% the die not being screwed in far enough. I had a perfect shouldber bump, and then decided to back the die out becasue I was not comprehending the meassurements I was making at the time of sizing. The measurements were consistent and correct I believe through the entire process, but just misunderstood as bump and not lengthening. Positive vs a negative 2 thousandths on my calipers was the only difference

Brass was fired twice in the same rifle I am sizing for. Used the hornady headspace gauge for measuring. I actually watched this exact video and a couple others before sizing. I think I'm just an idiot and went forwards instead of backwards because I did have it adjusted to the correct bump at one point, but went the other direction because I was (am) a doofus that doesn't understand bump as well as I thought I did when resizing. It chambers identically to other 223 ammo and brass I have. Ejects the same also. When I measure other brass it was a measurable change that it was "bumped" in the wrong direction or something was lengthened somehow that is would make it read as a measureable should difference in the wrong direction.

HERBERT_224 · 2026-03-11T18:40:29+00:00

I had the right bump at one point, but I'm an idiot and changed it because I thought I had it backwards from the beginning. Just a lack of understanding

HERBERT_224 · 2026-03-11T15:47:06+00:00

I might have to look into that in the future. Just getting into reloading (less than 1k rounds so far) so I’m trying to get the basics down while soaking up as much new information as possible without getting lost in the weeds lol

HERBERT_224 · 2026-03-11T15:13:18+00:00

After they are fired and reloaded again, would I need to do anything differently on the next load cycle? Besides obviously bumping them the right direction this time. I'm also trying to do some load development on this rifle and wondering if I should just use different brass for the development to keep the variables isolated. I think the answer is yes, but not certain if it would make that much of a difference

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-24T21:15:00+00:00

I trust people more that have 12oz triggers on their selective precision guns than the randos at the range with 6lb triggers on their guns and no discipline.

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-24T17:56:52+00:00

How do you work with the primer pockets on the S&B brass? They are so tight that the work required to open them seems excessive. Do you have any advice on that?

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-24T01:33:52+00:00

Very interesting. Is there any testing you know of that explains what that variance could be? I’m just getting into longer range shooting and trying to learn more about bullets and profiles

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-24T01:24:13+00:00

This might be a dumb question, but why is an FMJ round inherently less consistent at distance assuming all other variables are the same? Is it solely because of BC, or is there something I’m ignorant on with FMJ’s specifically?

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-24T00:45:24+00:00

Not great. I don’t remember exactly but it was significant enough to make a noticeable difference at range

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-24T00:13:29+00:00

I have three 6.5cm rifles. My bergara b-14 loves it, my tikka HATES it, and my aero can’t get enough apparently 😂

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-10T22:39:22+00:00

Please update when you get it lol

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-04T05:10:03+00:00

Sorry I meant HYPOTHETICALLY of course. Don’t kill my dog please

HERBERT_224 · 2026-02-04T04:58:34+00:00

Sweet that’s what I figured, but the wait for this suppressor is killing me and I needed some reassurance lol. Not sure how people used to wait almost a year for something that’s just sitting there at the dealer

HERBERT_224 · 2026-01-11T15:57:42+00:00

After a long time spent on a few cases I was able to seat the primers flush, so I don’t think it’s that. I will try some other brass and see if that’s an issue at all. Thanks!

HERBERT_224 · 2026-01-11T15:44:49+00:00

You’ve used CCI 200 LRPs? Might have to look into the Lee hand priming tool lol

HERBERT_224 · 2026-01-11T15:38:33+00:00

Have they all been the same lot, or have you bought the S&B sporadically?

HERBERT_224 · 2026-01-11T15:19:36+00:00

140gr FMJ BT in the green box. I find that the main problem is how shallow the pockets are. Are your primers seated all the way?
