    Why buy QuickLOAD?

    Re: Why buy QuickLOAD? +1 to CamoWildcat and c_bass 16. If you want to find the perfect load, Quickload will tell you where your OBT is, as well as all the other stuff. That will save you lots of time, which will give you a load that is very consistent in various temps. If you're making a...

    No SCAR or ACR? US Army issuing RFP for new gun

    Re: No SCAR or ACR? US Army issuing RFP for new gun I agree that 5.56 rifles are going to be what is submitted, but I think we will see more and more multi-caliber platforms from now on. It may be far off, but one day the US will decide to entertain changing rounds, and it would be helpful...

    RL 17 Anyone using

    Re: RL 17 Anyone using I've used it with the 208 amax and 210 SMK, with good results using the amax. I played around a lot with it under 175 Nosler Custom Comp bullets, and was getting consistent 3/4" five shot groups at 100 using an AR with a 20" barrel which is really good for that gun...

    CE ProChrono

    Re: CE ProChrono The ProChrono is good to go. I have good eyes and could easily read the screen from 15' away. It's nice to be able to review your string of shots and not have to write them down all the time. Be advised though that all chronos get weird with the direction of the sun. I've...

    Gun Safe and location

    Re: Gun Safe and location Boltactionfan, my advice is that you are seriously screwed and should give all your rifles to your friend who lives right around the corner from you. He will keep them safely tucked in his bed at night, away from that bad bad rust.

    SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

    Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!! Thank you much! I was guessing at .725", but it seems only a handful of manufacturers know for sure. The SPR profile that is set up for the OPS Inc 12th has that shoulder for the collar, and the information is proprietary from what I've been told...

    Range Report New Thoughts on Barrel Heat & POI Shift.

    Re: New Thoughts on Barrel Heat & POI Shift. I've noted this before as well - http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...241#Post2112241 I've seen it with factory loads and hand loads. Especially RL15, but I've noticed velocity changes from Varget too, and it's supposed to be insensitive...

    Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr

    Re: Alliants new Power Pro 2000mr I've played around quite a bit with RL17 and 175 grain Nosler CCs. I did OCW and ladder tests, and settled on 48.8 grains for 2,640 fps out of a 20" gas gun. Quickload says that 49 grains is optimal for the rifle, and 49 is still in the middle of the node...

    SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!!

    Re: SPR build..special thanks to BIGJOE!!! Nice build! One day I'll have the same barrel that you do; I'm sure it will shoot. Quick question, would you mic the barrel on the part right in front of the OPS Inc collar? I'm trying to have a barrel contoured right now for a 12th model, and I...

    Home protection Rifle

    Re: Home protection Rifle Good test, Oddball. It definitely shows what a variety of weapons and ammo does. I did a drywall test with five walls, and my take on the penetration thing is that buckshot and handguns penetrate way way way more than AR rifles. Almost every 5.56 round was in...

    Trigger Issue - Jard

    Re: Trigger Issue - Jard Had this problem with a Jard 2# trigger and a LR308. It's not designed for 308, but at the time it was the only trigger in stock anywhere (Obama election timeframe). I got a RRA trigger instead and haven't had a problem since. You're correct in that recoil is...

    Fenix LD20 flash light.

    Re: Fenix LD20 flash light. I bought a PD20 about a year ago and love it. I have a ton of Surfires, which are good lights, but Fenix is better.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 10x or 20x

    Re: SWFA SS 10x or 20x Burris Xtreme Tactical rings are good to go; I would get the high ones if you plan on running a BUIS. They're not expensive, and are probably the most solid aluminum rings out there. ***ETA: Here's a LR308 with a 10x SS mounted on high Burris XTR rings:

    OCW Load for the LWRC -REPR 308

    Re: OCW Load for the LWRC -REPR 308 I don't have a REPR, but I shoot a 20" Krieger barreled AR on a LR308 upper/lower. So far my gun heavily favors RL15 in both 155 and 175 grains. My mild plinking load is 45.2 grains of RL15 under a 155 Nosler CC in a Winchester case at 2,668 fps. You...

    Range Report 308 Win, 208 AMax, RL17

    Re: 308 Win, 208 AMax, RL17 20". I've found that if I'm not perfect with my shooting form, my groups suffer a bit. The second day, the top shot in the center target was my fault. I'm going to load up ten or more of these tonight and try to shoot them tomorrow for groups.

    Re: 308 Win, 208 AMax, RL17 For you AR shooters, I tried the 208 AMAX this weekend with an OCW test. This is from the 20" LR308. Results from first test: No pressure signs. Speeds were: 46.2 - AV 2,428; ES 13 46.5 - AV 2,432; ES 15 46.8 - AV 2,465; ES 41 47.1 - AV 2,486; ES 31 47.4 - AV...

    IMR 8208XBR IN .308 GAS GUNS?

    Re: IMR 8208XBR IN .308 GAS GUNS? I shoot it in a DPMS LR308 with 155s. It's super consistent and meters well. Perfect powder for a gas gun.

    264 lbc ar-15 reloading questions

    Re: 264 lbc ar-15 reloading questions I don't load for that cartridge yet, but with 5.56 and 308 gas guns I have found that crimping is not needed. If you were going someplace dangerous or what not and wanted the peace of mind, than I could see it, but generally you won't see any accuracy...

    308 fps question

    Re: 308 fps question MitchAlsup is right. 175 FGMM clocks at 2,534 from my 20" AR, and 155 grain Nosler J4s using IMR 8208 XBR clocked 2,771 today.

    Gunsmithing How to order and finish a custom barrel?

    I have read and read about buying a barrel and all, even re-chambering a barrel, threading, blablabla, but have yet to find a difinitive answer about how to order a barrel and have it finished to a customer's specs, soup to nuts. Can somebody school me a bit? Kind of like custom barreling your...
