Hi all,
I am planning to buy this Howa 1500 22" heavy bull barrel SA .308 https://www.brownells.com/gun-parts...308-winchester-barreled-action/?sku=430103508

Just curious what you all would recommend for chassis/stock?

Primary use for now will be learning fundamentals of shooting at different distances. So primarily it will be used at the range.
I am considering these:

Hey guys, where’s the best place to find said suppressors in stock?

I trimmed my .308cases too short. They are running between 1.995" to 2.002". The max case length is supposed to be 2.015" w/ a trim length of 2.005". I don't see this as a real issue but want to confirm.

Also, I used a little crow case trimmer and did trim after FL sizing the cases. Not sure why I am getting as much variation in case ength as I am,.

So I had a load worked up for my 18" 6.5cm with 123 eld-x and 48gr of superformance. I tested the load back in probably... May, and it was spectacular, shot a half minute. Had a MV of 2919 over a 5-10 shot (I don't remember the incident) string, and excellent accuracy. So then I let my rifle sit in the closet with the ammo since without firing it. Yesterday I had time to run out to the range, and as I started moving out, my dope was obviously wrong. I backed up to 200y, confirmed zero, and it was good, and that's when I looked down at the garmin. I was getting 40fps variation from one round to the next. I ultimately ended up having an ES of 93 over 20 rounds. I've never even heard of such a thing. What could cause such ridiculous variance in velocity, other than bad powder measuring, (I am going to pull bullets and test powder charges just to be sure, but I'm very careful while loading, double checking the charge weights at least every 4 or 5 rounds). I doubt that's the problem. The brass was virgin sig brass. My buddy seems to think that it could be causing problems, but I've shot it for years without trouble. Where else should I look for this problem? Thank you

Ready for the hunt

Every hunting trip is different, but that does not mean that you shouldn’t be as prepared as possible. Your riflescope will be critical to your hunting success. The ZEISS LRP S3 first focal plane riflescopes provide the best-in-class total elevation travel combined with an advanced optical system. They deliver ultra-sharp images and gather the maximum amount of light for low-light conditions with the ability to reach out to identify game at great distances.

ZEISS LRP S3 425-50 offers a large field-of-view making it the perfect targeting optic for medium and long-range targets. Its compact and lightweight 34mm main tube is tested to withstand 1,500 g-force of shock over multiple impact cycles.

Hope I'm posting in the right place.

3 years ago I rented the 6.5prc"GAP" reamer from 4d rentals. Time for a rebarrel but they no longer offer this configuration. It was the one with the .130fb and I think a smaller neck dimension. Id like that fb or even a little shorter if possible but i have waited to long and am now in a time crunch. Im hoping someone has one that theyd sell or maybe knows where one is in stock.
Im not sure if they'd sell me one but I left a message at GAP, haven't heard back yet.
Please and Thanks
Nathan

I have the following components I would like to use to load for my LMT MWS with a 20” 6.5mm Creedmoor barrel. The LMT MWS is stock except for a BRT EZTUNE gas tube.

• Hornady 6.5mm 140 gr EDL Match bullets with Hodgdon H4350.
• Hornady 6.5mm 147 gr EDL Match bullets with Hodgdon H4350.

https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/lmt-mws-brt-eztune-gas-tube.7032995/

All of the published reloading data for the Hornady 6.5mm 140 gr EDL Match bullets with Hodgdon H4350 powder were tested in bolt action rifles.

• Hornady Reloading Data: Max load 41.5 gr.
• Hodgdon Reloading Data: Max load 40.0 gr

All of the published reloading data for the Hornady 6.5mm 147 gr EDL Match bullets with Hodgdon H4350 powder were tested in bolt action rifles.

• Hornady Reloading Data: Max load 40.3 gr.
• Hodgdon Reloading Data: Max load 41.8 gr

I am assuming these numbers are safe in bolt guns, but may not be in the AR10 platform.

Can anyone recommend a good starting point and not to hot max for these components in an AR-10?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, my 10 year old son got a 3d printer recently and we have been busy learning how to make cool stuff. He has an entrepreneurial spirit and wants to offer up some of the designs we came up with. My son is printing, and shipping. All of the money goes to him, I am simply the middle man.





We made a follower for the Sig Cross that fits in a standard MagPul AICS .308 magazine. I had a few magazines around so I wanted to have a spare for the Cross. Standard AICS magazines work however, if you try to single feed a round the bullet will nose dive and will not function. This follower fixes that. The price is 5$ each and 5$ shipping. Available in black, orange, or white. If you would like another color, shoot me a message and we will see what we can do!

I did a thing.

I’ve been itching for a Hi Power. Prices of actual Brownings are borderline retarded since they quit making them, and the new FNs are reportedly a different pistol internally.

I bought one of these cheap Turkish clones that are being imported by EAA. I wasn’t expecting much other than a usable slide and frame that I could either build on, or send off for custom work, so my expectations were/are pretty low for it out of the box. I got their “MC P35 Match,” FWIW. Have not fired it yet, so these are just my initial impressions.



Overall, I’m pretty impressed with the quality considering how cheap these things are. I was kind of kicking myself after ordering it until it came in. I was mostly pleasantly surprised, but at that price point, as to be expected, there were some corners cut and some fit/finish issues. The rear sight was loose right out of the box. I guess they didn’t bother tightening the set screws at the factory, or they loosened up in transit. Easy fix with an Allen wrench, but still… Also, one of the grip screws looked like an untrained chimp screwed it in. The slot is mangled a little. Also easily fixed, but annoying nonetheless for a NIB pistol. Only ships with one mag, which is silly, but I knew that ahead of time.

The trigger pull was better than I was expecting, but I was really expecting a third-world turd. It was somewhat gritty and heavy, but not as bad as I had anticipated. I disassembled it and stoned/polished the lock work where it needed it, and added a chamfer to the sear. The break is now way crisper, and the grittiness is gone, but it’s still pretty heavy, and there’s still a touch of creep right before the wall. Of course, I don’t have any expectations for my trigger job to last very long, I have a hunch the sear is probably not hard enough, but we’ll see. I’m going to send it off for a proper trigger job with some Cylinder & Slide internals anyway.

Internally, it appears to be a MK III clone. There is no magazine disconnect, but weirdly they still installed a roll pin into the hole in the trigger where the mag safety would normally be pinned. They have me scratching my head on that one.

These do have a firing pin block safety, which brings me to my first question:
Does anyone know if you can ditch the FPB spring and run these like an early Mk II? It makes a big difference in the smoothness of the take-up. I would think the firing pin spring would be sufficient to make it drop-safe without the FPB. There are plenty of 1911s floating around that way.

Second question: Does anyone have any recommendations for sights? I’ve always used tritium 3 dot for carry, but I was kind of thinking about the Heinie Straight 8’s. Or a Heinie plain rear with a tritium front. I’ve also kicked around the idea of a gold bead front, but I’ve never used one. Slide is going to have to be milled for the rear sight for pretty much anything I go with.

Third question: Anyone have any recommendations for holsters?

TIA

I have been looking to replace my old Lee Challanger press that got me into reloading years ago. To be honest this press has put together more rounds than I thought it would but the small O frame is becoming a hassle seating my 7RM with Bergers due to length. I have been very intrigued by the Mec Marksman due to the open front and the specs on the Ultimate Reloader Review. I do not prime on the press nor do I plan to.
So to the guys who own one, what is our opinion?

I have a like new 52mm sun shade for leupold mark 4HD, VX 5HD or VX 6HD.

Also have three turret tape strips for leupold mark 4HD Mil

$55 for shade and tape.
