    .308 Bullet and powder selection for 18" barrel

    Varget R15 IMR 4895/4064 seem to be favorites. I'm using Varget for me 20" 700 with 175SMKs and 168amax's in front of 4895 for my 18" LR308 right now. Which combo is better not sure these are both in testing, my 700 has a 1:12 and my LR308 has a 1:10, barrel lengths are different and I haven't...

    Has anyone else noticed..?

    From my own and other peoples nodes has anyone else noticed usually for 100 yarders that the lower/mid nodes tend to be the most accurate loads from guns? I've just noticed so many people run the lower grain node window than people do high, unless their lower node doesn't have enough velocity...

    When to anneal brass

    There is no one way. Some guys anneal every firing. I've been taught to do it every 3rd firing. Unless its virgin brass usually the second. As for when I tumble anneal then retumble then continue with my reloading process per the norm.

    308 BCG's DPMS Pattern.....help me decide.

    I've had 2 CMMG's thus far on my LR308. First one had no bolt tension from the gas rings. Actually didn't think anything of it until I had the shop put my barrel nut of and they said dude this is junk.. They took it out and swapped it for another one free of charge. My new one functions and has...

    JP vs shillen barrel.

    Well you gatta think about it it's just a barrel. Basically a fancy tube. Either it's made right or it isn't. It's not a moving or functioning part which has things that can go out of whack or come loose.

    american defence vs Larue mounts which one do you like and why

    I just wish ADM would allow a way to lock the levers and hook up a torque wrench and apply and know for a fact you run the in lbs you want your mount than just adjust and feel. Thought that was a down side.

    american defence vs Larue mounts which one do you like and why

    Eye relief. My scope needs it or else I'd be mounted on the rail or way too far back for my stock.

    american defence vs Larue mounts which one do you like and why

    ADM by a nose and I'm slightly biased now. I chose one last week after searching for a few months when I was dead set on LaRue. Pros over LaRue: More contact surface on the rail per lever 2 level locks vs 1 on LaRue More options 1.47 vs 1.5" scope centerline (also more options again)...

    JP vs shillen barrel.

    JP seems to have some pretty decent barrels out there. Shillen is more of an older name probably why it doesn't get much credit but are awesome barrels. OP just look at it this way. Your asking about KeyMod vs Quad rail. Asked this 5 maybe 10 years ago quad or nothing was the tone. Now...

    ar15 zero - 100, 200, 300 yard zero? pros/cons?

    300 yard zero for a 223? That's a bit of a zero for a 5.56 bud. For a 308 or bigger I could understand.

    Lake City vs Lapua brass

    Federal/LC from testing is actually one of the lower end brasses out there as far as reloadability. Winchester and Lapua are 2 of the best and longest lasting brass cases right now. But this is all from 3rd party testing none of my own. But I my self shoot Win and LC. One for my 700 the...

    different brass?

    Dam thats a lot of reloadings! Was that one case with a possible fluke? Or was that done on multiple cases and the given average?

    Scope Mounts for .308 ARs

    Right now the best 20 MOA mount to get is the ADM Recon, I was in the same delema as you. The ADM recon is just under 1.5" @ 1.47 center line with an extended base and 20 MOA option. They have lower options with out the 20MOA and extension. ADM also has 2 locks instead of just the one like...

    Best to find "best" load

    I agree the OCW got a tad taxing for me as well. But its design was to take out the human variable on the ladder test to alter results on just one shot that may be pulled for shooter error and for people limited to 100 yards. If you have access to a 300 yard range I too would prefer to run 2...

    Fire forming - seating depth ?

    If your just looking to fire form nothing else just seat them at the standard 2.800 and load them out. No reason to full measure. If you run against the lands you run into maybe over seating a few and not being able to shoot the brass or have to measure out each OAL to make sure it will fit...

    Yea he has about 15 1k boxes on hand so if he had to spend that much to make a few $$ so be it. As long as I'm not over spending I'm fine. Mans gatta eat right haha

    different brass?

    Separate the brass and get what you have the most of and do load work up with that. Brass isn't going to pressure spike your gun enough for an explosion of your gun. But it will creat enough different of your load to not be as accurate in another case. Unless your pushing high pressures to...
