    Need a reality check, JBM and a Service Rifle

    Hoping someone here can help me out and point me in the right direction. I have a new service rifle for CMP (AR15). The first match this year will be a prone match 600 yards only (mid-range). I do not have access to confirm a 600 yd zero before the match so I want to zero for a trajectory...

    6.8 spc necked down to 6mm

    I believe this would be the 6mm Hagar, and Hornady makes brass for it. 6mm HAGAR | Creedmoor Sports

    Rock Chucker Supreme vs Redding Big Boss 2

    Too funny, I also just do the shop vac thing anymore for the same reasons.

    Gunsmithing M1917 action for custom build

    I have two thoughts. One is finishing a nice project that a family member started. The other is getting a new barrel from the CMP Sales - Accessories for 190 bucks and restoring it to military configuration before you do something you might regret. Tough call. I would lean towards...

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR - Pet load?

    Only used OAL because I cannot remember base to give numbers. Savage chambers can be short especially in 308 and was only providing another perspective point for OP Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR - Pet load?

    My 10BA chamber is short very short throated. I have to load 175 Sierra to 2.77 just to keep them out of the lands.

    7MM-08 build assistance.

    Sell it on Gunbroker, start at 1$ with no reserve. That's a perfect set up for youth/smaller women in rifle hunting states. Someone will buy that. If I was going to keep it as a hunting rifle I would probably just put on a new barrel like one of the Criterions with the barrel nut in whatever...

    My new 6.5 build

    Maybe I'm missing something but I'll show my ignorance and ask... why the two different barrels?

    Anyone using IMR4064?

    IMR-4064 is my absolute favorite powder in 308. Works great in .30-06 and 8MM Mauser as well. It isn't regarded as a top choice for 223 which is why I never tried it with that. Most guys I know who choose to use a single powder for 223 and 308 use AA2520, CFE-223, with a few hold outs still...

    post your best .308 load

    This I run 41.6 grains of IMR4064 behind the 175 SMK. It gives me exactly 2600 fps in my 26" Savage barrel with very low SD's, better than any I ever got with Varget. I use Winchester brass and Fed 210M primers. The gun is short throated so I actually have to seat a little below 2.8...

    CMP M1 Garand or Fulton Armory M1 Garand

    As a huge CMP geek with not enough money I'd say CMP every time. Service grade will usually get you a shooter, but the CMP "specials" are made to be shot and you will love the new criterion barrel. I've seen one new FA and it was a nice rifle but you can get the same quality from the CMP for a...

    .308 Gas gun loads with ball powder?

    Re: .308 Gas gun loads with ball powder? Finally something I actually have experience with for my first post here besides my intro! Back when I used to shoot an M1A I loaded 168 Sierra Match with 2230 using Winchester brass, FGMM primers, and 41 grains of AA2230. Listed max from AA is 41.5...

    Gunsmithing YHM

    Re: YHM You can find them for much less than 70 bucks if you look around. Even with reasonable rates, you would be into it enough to just justify buying one.
