Re: Score at a yard sale! Hell for that price I would have bought it and I don't even own a 308W anymore. Great find!!

Re: Powder recs for gap crusader Look no further than Varget. Yes, if I remember strait the 1:11.25 twist was developed for the 175gr SMK. And also look here for several hundreds of load combinations (should answer most any other question you have about the 308Win)...

Re: varget lot to lot variances UPDATED PICS FWIW, I've noticed lot to lot changes more in other powders than I have with varget. I rarely see much changes in the varget. When ever I open a new lot (I buy 8 to 16 pounds of the same lot at a time), I take the chrony to the range with me and...

Re: What do you guys think... I prefer to shoot groups trying to accomplish the same thing (just my personal preference). Reason being is that if you pull a shot or two, you may have seriously altered your results. I'd hate to have the results of my latter test rely completely on me being...

Re: ROFL Iraq wants $1b from us for "Damage" How about a billion dollars worth of carpet bombing dropped instead. Then the place WILL look much better!!

Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr Does anyone know how temperature sensitive this stuff is?

Re: OK, WTF?? BTW, this ^ ^ is the reason LC crimps there primers in the first place.

Re: OK, WTF?? Could have been brass fired in an machine gun with an out of spec chamber (most of these have loose chambers to start). M855 is a hot load anyway, and in an out of spec chamber it could have probably created some loose primer pockets. I haven't bought any of the "once fired"...

Re: Why a 7 twist AR? Not trying to start an argument but just to back up what I previously stated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle "While the ideal twist rate for the SS109 projectile is 1:9 inch/1:229mm, a 1:7 inch/1:180mm twist rate was chosen to stabilize the much longer L110...

Re: Why a 7 twist AR? The military uses the 7 twist to stabilize the longer tracer rounds. I'm guessing most people are not going to be shooting tracer rounds out of their personal AR's. 8 twist is all you will need for anything that you are going to load to mag-length anyway.

Re: Day at the range with new Sako Trg22 I love the triggers on those TRG's. Wish I could get one like it for another rifle.

Re: New 308 Lapua brass My guess, based upon using Lapua brass is that you will require about .6gr (+/-) less powder to achieve the same velocity. Thats been my experience anyway.

Re: Rem 700 firing pin keeps breaking Tripwire, I think I will continue to listen to the professionals at Rifles Only who <span style="text-decoration: underline">get paid</span> to teach people how to shoot. When your shooting resume is as impressive as theirs, I'll listen to what you have...

Re: Rem 700 firing pin keeps breaking Tripwire, Dry firing is the next best thing to live fire. Its also easy to diagnose problems in your position and technique when dry firing. Are you contributing to this thread? You obviously have not subscribed to the online training. If you had...

Re: LPR 6.5x47mm Lapua range report Nice looking rifle, LA Precision turned out another work of art! I really like the 6.5x47 round! I'd like to know what velocities you are getting with that 22" barrel. That is the length I am building my next rifle in (6.5x47L of course). Btw, My 2 best...
