    Suppressors Short Barrel .308 Ultra 7; To brake, or not To Brake?

    :LOL: You guys have all been great here! Thanks for the advice and service from Zak and Ray, and everyone who has chimed in! TBAC Ultra 7, CB brake, 16 inches of ear popping pain. @Zak Smith, I think I will probably pick up a brake as well as a flash hider when the time comes, and not...

    Ten-Four Zak. I am in the field for work for at least the next couple of weeks, so no rush on anything. I will shoot you an email; Thank you again for your amazing support here on the Hide. Now I have to go research 14.5" .308 bolt gun ballistics, as I don't want to derail my own thread.

    Suppressors Short Barrel .308 Ultra 7; To brake, or not To Brake?

    I'm currently running a Remington AAC SD with the factory 20" varmint profile but plan to cut it down to 16" for the suppressor. I would even consider having the barrel cut to 14.5" and pinning the TBAC flash hider on to hit 16". My only question with that is how oddly would the flash hider...

    Suppressors Short Barrel .308 Ultra 7; To brake, or not To Brake?

    Thank you Zak for your quick and informative response. I looked at the 419 system and felt like it was 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I'll just have to make up my mind I suppose! The above articles that 2ndamendfan posted are entertaining the hell out of me, while also confirming my...

    Suppressors Short Barrel .308 Ultra 7; To brake, or not To Brake?

    Good day to all. I'm looking into purchasing my first suppressor soon and have narrowed it down to the TBAC Ultra 7. The only thing I'm on the fence about is whether or not I can stand to shoot a short barrel .308 with a brake attached. Specifically, my thoughts are that the .308 is not a...

    What was your Scout name?

    I was RuckSack on Scout and would honestly like to change my old username here to match what it was on Scout. Seems you used to be able to change it but can't figure it out from my phone. Is this option still available just perhaps on computer only?

    Not referencing the case. I meant to say that the flyer could've been me. As in that is a likely possibility.

    That could've been the case easily. I'm looking to explore further soon an report back.

    I finally had time to make it back to the range. Here are the results of my ocw round robin. Four rounds per target from 100 yds.

    I know what you mean about breathing room. I picked a helluva round to load up for my virgin try at it. I figure if I mod the mags and the ramp I'll be able to play with the 208's. I have a few of them lying around. Mostly why I'm pushing the 2000MR. I also have some benchmark powder I may...

    Thank you sir. Yes I was very impressed that your guess was so close to what ended up looking the best on paper. It was nice to have that number in the back of my head when looking at the target to decipher the results. Thank you for that. You were dead on. Also thanks for the OCW advice...

    Thank you Fredo! I call her Jackie Brown. Shoots like a dream so far, although I really hate my bipod. I want to upgrade to an Atlas soon. 3-45.0 4-45.5 5-46.0 6-46.5 7-47.0 8-47.5 9-48.0 10-48.5 Shot from 200 yards. I would have liked to have gone out to 300-400 but there was a 1000...

    My baby. My ladder test.. @200 yards. Could've gone better. I think I had a case of the "first hand load jitters". Shots 5, 7, and 10 were called bad. 1, and 2 weren't worth my time. I stopped at #10 due to light ejector swipe marks. Bolt lift was normal. Was about 90 degrees today in...

    I measured from base to tip and I'm getting 1.277-1.279". With my comparator zeroed to the caliper I am getting base to ogive 1.693". I zero the comparator at 1.0 on the dial caliper if that helps. I will post pictures tomorrow afternoon of my ladder results at the range. Hopefully I...

    With that in mind, I will reference this thread that I am basing a lot of my hopes on. http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-reloading/27397-vlds-mag-feed-308-a.html In the thread above, (I believe), there is a section with a bulletin from Berger about finding the sweet spot with...
