    Standard vs Magnum Rifle Primers

    I'm loading 308 and 243. Powders are Varget, IMR and H4895, 8208, IMR 4064 & 4451. The Coronavirus dried up standard primers at Bass Pro, so I took some Large Rifle Magnums. None of my loads are near Max, so what should I do about adjusting the charge for the change in primers? Is 10% a safe bet.

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    This is an old post, but I just got interested in the 6.5 Grendel here of late. I own two 300 Blks, 16 inch rifle and 10.5 inch pistol. Love shooting them both. The Grendel is a said to give close to 308 performance in an AR-15 size platform; that impresses me. I also own an AR-10, but it is...

    Suppressors .308 can on .223?

    From what I researched before buying a 762/308 can. Most post suggested that a 30 Cal can would not be as quiet as a dedicated 223 CAN. My dealer even express that if I wanted to use it on other rifles, bigger is more versatile. My CAN is rated for up to 338 Lapua, while my largest caliber is...

    Suppressors Multiple suppressor waits

    It took 6 weeks to get a CCP, and I'm in my 9th Month of waiting for My Tax Stamp. Fortunately, one CAN will work for all the rifles I intend to suppress. I hate having cash tied up like that, so my desire for a 22 caliber CAN died. Fortunately, I purchased from a dealer who owns a range, and...

    Most Accurate AR in 308 out of the Box

    Armalite 10T has been working for me. I've owned it for over 20 years, and I would not part with it for even a custom build. It's and oldie but goodie. The newer ones have SS barrels, but mine has a CM. Got a hard on for a SASS rifle and found that Armalite has changed it's lowers, since I...

    Self Defense or Murder

    One reason I carry, and maintain my CCW is I can't flee like I use too.

    Self Defense or Murder

    I support the Stand Your Ground policy, as I do the 2nd Amdment. Unfortunately, not everyone who can carry a gun, should. I like the comment about mindset. If you don't have the mindset to use a gun, you shouldn't carry one. On the other hand, no one who lacks control or good judgement should...

    Self Defense or Murder

    Guess his body language would have been less intimidating, if his pants fit better.

    Self Defense or Murder

    At my age and build, I hope I get the benefit of this law if I'm ever pushed to the ground. Better that I am aware of a threat before I end up bouncing off the pavement. Not much in support of the "Feral Buck" description.

    Self Defense or Murder

    The vid shows he pushed the guy and did indeed step back. As I CCW holder in Fla. I doubt I'd have shot the guy. However, I would not have confronted the woman over a parking space to begin with. It's the first time since Zimmerman, that I can say, there's a flaw in the way the law is interpreted.

    9mm vs. 300 bo subs; over penetration in home defence?

    Been away from this site for a long time. Forgot what I was missing. Very interesting reading!! Never thought much about the 300 Blk, but a shooting buddy sold me his upper for the right price. Later, a few months ago, I got the bug for an AR Pistol, and the 300 Blk seemed to be the best...

    Subsonic 300 Blackout with H110

    Just picked up a lb of 300 Blk for my first subs. No 1680 in my AO either. For grins, I loaded 10.3-10.9 and had no problems at all. I could have tried some W296, but I try to stick with what's recommended by the powder manufacturer.
