    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 12x or 16x

    I'm in the market for a new scope. Here's the deal. I've got a 300 win mag with the SS 10x on it. I think I would like to move that up to a 12x or 16x and put the 10x on a 260 rem I'm working on. I would like to stick with these scopes mainly because of the cost and performance I get out of...

    .300 win mag brass... A guys gotta do what what he can .....

    At that price why not just buy the Norma brass? I had to do similar a few months after Sandy Hook when *NOTHING* was in stock, but now I would just by the Norma. I found the crimps on the brass make it prone to split necks. Have had to toss a few pieces, and some i had to trip a bit below the...

    Thinking of getting a more accurate barrel for Colt LE6920 M4.

    This is the problem I have with AR's. Once I get an upper, I think "well the lower is only 200 bucks more..." and then it becomes a new gun :P

    !!BEWARE!! SPARTAN PRECISION RIFLES AR-10/ 308 Build

    There are a few makers out there that produce buffer tubes that fold. My question is what happens if you fire it while its folded. Do you get death by BCG?

    You could also free float the handguard.

    How many reloads to be safe?

    You can use a small croquet hook to inspect the inside of the brass for incipient head separation. A bent paperclip also works. If you don't bump the shoulder back too far, this shouldn't happen... or so I'm told.

    .260 Rem with H1000 (gas gun)

    Unfortunately, those aren't much easier to find. Sometimes IMR 4350 is in stock, in which case I may buy a bottle.

    .260 Rem with H1000 (gas gun)

    You guys raised a good point about the gas system I didn't even think about. I did a bit of quick research on Norma 204 and it looks like it would work as a substitute, producing bad but usable velocities, but I think for now I'll just wait for Varget/H4350. Incidentally, how do Norma powders...

    .260 Rem with H1000 (gas gun)

    I've got a 260 build thats almost done, so I'm starting to collect components for reloading and of course Varget and H4350 are nowhere to be found. But what there is an abundance of (and I already have for my 300 win mag) is H1000. I know this is not the ideal powder for this caliber, but I'd...

    Build in a .308/7.62x51

    I'm doing a Mega build with a JP barrel kit. Those two items alone put you right around your budget. Once you add it a trigger, stock and grip, BCG, you'd probably be over $2k. My build will cost around $2400-$2600, but it has everything I want. If you want to go a little bit cheaper, you might...

    will 1-12 twist stabilize 210 amax

    They don't make a 210 AMAX? I assume you mean 208 gr. The recommended twist for that bullet is 1:10, as you stated. You can try a stability calculator and see: http://www.bergerbullets.com/litz/TwistRuleAlt.php I would guess Kimber designed that rifle to shoot lighter hunting bullets, but...

    Hawk Hill Custom AR barrels

    Damn, last time I spoke to Shawn he said he wasn't quite ready for the AR barrels. I should have waited, just ordered my JP last week. Shawn is a really great guy and I'm gonna have him put one of his tubes on my 300 win mag when the time comes. I run one of his brakes on it already and its...

    Rifle Scopes How much scope base cant/elevation do you use? 0MOA? 20MOA? 45MOA?

    I live in SWVA somewhere in the Appalachians. We can argue about were to save weight till we're blue in the face, but if you really want a light, good quality rail, why not get the Seekins 20 or 30 moa base? I love mine and the SA ones are 2 oz. They can be had for under $100.

    Rifle Scopes How much scope base cant/elevation do you use? 0MOA? 20MOA? 45MOA?

    This is obviously a false analogy. Cars have replaced one of the heaviest parts (engine) with aluminum alloys and parts of the body with plastics/composites. With guns, if you want to reduce weight, you generally do that in the barrel and stock. But I'm glad you can notice the fraction of a...

    Rifle Scopes How much scope base cant/elevation do you use? 0MOA? 20MOA? 45MOA?

    Do you really think you'll feel the difference in weight on a heavy tactical rifle anyway? Added with the fact that nobody is complaining about broken scope bases (Aluminum, steel or otherwise), I wouldn't pay any more for Ti.

    Non coated vs moly

    Have you considered some of the other 'high tech' coatings like HBN and WS2? IIRC, HBN is better, less messy, and not hygroscopic.

    Found AMAX in stock

    Score. Also grabbed some 260 rem brass.

    JP rifles supermatch barrel owners; long term durability.

    Just bought mine. You can pick between the three styles of brake included. It also includes the gas block and TD. You can use their rifle builder to get an exact quote of what they cost. Edit: Sorry, just checked the link. That is not their barrel kit, just the barrel and bolt. They offer...

    JP .260 Rem barrel: small base or full length?

    Thanks. I called JP and they said they recommend small base but FL generally does the trick. I also chatted with a friend who has a JP 308 barrel and he said he has no problems with a full length sizer. I'm really excited to get this gun up and running but bullets and powder are predictably out...
