    Why are shooters saying AR style 308s hard to shot

    Re: Why are shooters saying AR style 308s hard to shot Another aspect is lock time. The AR's locktime is 17-23 miliseconds vs. 3 - 5 milliseconds for a Rem. 700. A longer lock time would not be kind to poor technique.

    Why does FGMM do so well from gun to gun?

    Re: Why does FGMM do so well from gun to gun? This should be a companion article to Dan Newberry's OCW article, http://www.the-long-family.com/OBT_paper.htm] Dan's is the how, Chris' is the why of optimal barrel time.

    Re: 308 168BTHP 3200-3300FPS?! You didn't say bullet weight for the AR15 but assuming 55gr., those numbers are high also for a 16" barrel. I get 3000 - 3150 with 55 Amax's from my 16. I have a Beta master chrony and it's worked well for 6 yrs. Chrony was good to deal with when I shot it a...

    7.62 LC brass.. how to resize for 308

    Re: 7.62 LC brass.. how to resize for 308 I use lots of "machine gun" brass and have no issues. I size with Hornady match grade die & Redding bushings for a .003" shoulder bump for my AR10. This brass is very long after it's first sizing and needs trimming, you didn't mention weather you...
