    Small Base or NM size die for .308 AR

    I will be paying off a DPMS SASS in the next few days. I'm pretty much going to start hand rolling for this gun from the get-go. I currently own a Forster NM Size/decap die for .308. Am I better off going with a Small-Base size die or will the NM FL die work ok? Thanks in advance!

    Is 1 in 9 enough to stabilize 6.5C 140gr A-Max??

    Re: Is 1 in 9 enough to stabilize 6.5C 140gr A-Max?? My stability calculator program tells me that no, it won't be stable at 1:9 unless you can exceed 3400 FPS (no clue about Creedmore velocities), and then it's only marginally stable. I'd say skip it and do something else with that barrel...

    HOWAbout a HOWA 1500 thread...

    Re: HOWAbout a HOWA 1500 thread... Mine (Weatherby Sub-MOA Varmint) shoots 1/2 MOA with Magtech 150gr. 308 (which they have sadly stopped making and I have no more of), I know it's a good gun. I'm looking for replacement ammo now. Might just go with HSM 168 Gr. or finally seriously ponder...

    Troubleshooting Failure to Feed on a DPMS LR-308

    Re: Troubleshooting Failure to Feed on a DPMS LR-308 @hlee- I'm hoping this holds true. I tend to have good luck with my rifles and their functioning, but his *looks* like the same SASS build I'm purchasing (although the OP mentioned it came with some additional parts). I'm also told by...

    Scoping an M1A.

    Re: Scoping an M1A. While admittedly I'm not the world's expert, the cheap-ass Sprinfield mount I'm running on my crap-ass Chinese made Weaver 2.5-10x lets me shoot out to 500M all day long with MOA consistency. As it's a quarter the cost of the Sadlak mount, honestly it's my first choice...

    5 shots 200 yards!?!

    Re: 5 shots 200 yards!?! lol hell yes... If you can keep settled enough behind the bolt, the rifle is more than capable... As others have said, go smaller on the gong. 6 seconds apiece is almost too much time for those shots, you start thinking about it too much. Happily, if you fail...

    Re: Best power? I feel like the Vortex has the best combination of features in that price range. IOR-Valdada might have an offering in that price range that would suit your needs as well.
