Yep. If you use Competition S-type bushing dies, the best bushing size for one brass might not be the best for another. And the amount of the neck resized could differ. And this might change by...

Yes, + or - 0.1" for most people.
Not sure if the chart on this link stays updated, but it serves as a good general guideline regarding AR mounts:

Personally, I wouldn't hesitate for a simple cut and crown (and threading if desired). I wouldn't go shorter than 18" on a barrel with rifle-length gas due to potential reliability issues. And while...
I'm currently shooting two Grendels, an 18" and a 20". With identical 123gr A-Max loads zeroed at 200 yards, the difference in drop at 600 yards is 1 click (0.1-mil, or less than 2.5 inches). In...
When scoping an AR-15, pay close attention to the two things: scope height and eye relief. For height, the centerline of the scope needs to be ~1.5" above the rail. Eye relief seems simple enough,...
In the realm of medium-game hunting, along with target shooting at extended distances, the high BC 6.5 bullets launched from the AR-15 platform was the attraction for me.
I suggest fine-tuning your 100-yard zero based on actual shooting of the load you plan to use at longer distances. I don't think a laser will help you at this point.
Zeiss scope appears to be a (Cassidian) Hensoldt 3.5-26x56 FF.
Rifle looks nice.
I think you'll be happy. My F1 has been foolproof.
I was thinking that when posting. When I looked for some backup information online so that you wouldn't have to take my word for it, I ran across that list. Seemed appropriate to simply share all of...
Key takeaway (for me) from stokesrj's post is "no difference in accuracy even at extended ranges beyond 600 yards".
CCI #41 is my preferred primer, though I'll use whatever is available these...
I've had reasonably good results using AH II on AR-15 mags, although I apply a thin coat and bake coated parts at 200-degrees for ~5 hours (despite it being air-cure).
I would encourage anyone waiting on a barrel held up by a bolt to ask the barrel manufacturer about sending in your own bolt to speed up the process.
I sent a bolt to a manufacturer and they had a...
Gas block size doesn't necessarily translate to barrel profile and weight. I'll try to explain...
FWIW, Satern's 20" fluted "medium weight" Grendel barrel on MidwayUSA's website has an .875" gas...
Haven't tried a JP. All indication is that they're good.
Have owned four Satern Grendel barrels, and "outstanding" would be an understatement. I can't imagine a more accurate Grendel barrel. But a...
On a side note, when was your order placed for the bolt?
Valid point. The slight breeze that I sometimes get at 600 is always left-to-right, and coupled with a small righthand spin drift, it can sometimes be enough to cause a miss on 10" steel at that...

The closing statement on the link is noteworthy:...
In my experience, an adjustable gas block usually isn't necessary on a barrel with rifle-length gas. The adjustable blocks are advantageous when a system is over-gassed, which is more often the case...
I've found JBM Ballistics and Shooter to be spot-on for me using the 123gr A-max to 600 yards.
600 yards- Distance target was shot.
2500 fps- Muzzle velocity
4.4 mils- Come up (elevation)...
