Re: "168gr" Hornady AMAX.... Not quite. High Binder - no need to get all upset, that is the way I read your post. If that's not what you meant, then no big deal. However, I read your post again, and it still reads the same way. You are saying in your post that the variance he is getting in...- firestorm1284

Photos "168gr" Hornady AMAX.... Not quite.
Re: "168gr" Hornady AMAX.... Not quite. High Binder - I'm sorry but there is no comparison between the weight difference of a bullet and the change in a powder load. You are saying that all weight changes are equal, which, they are not. If a bullet is 1 grain heavier, that does not mean you...- firestorm1284

Any packs besides Eberlestock to carry a rifle?
Re: Any packs besides Eberlestock to carry a rifle? I think I have all but decided on the GS2. I was thinking of the Ranger Green color, it looks like a good compromise as a hunting/BOB color.- firestorm1284

Any packs besides Eberlestock to carry a rifle?
Re: Any packs besides Eberlestock to carry a rifle? Thanks for the advice guys. I just got off the phone with Ceylon after talking with him for nearly AN HOUR. The man knows his stuff, and could not possibly be more helpful. I'm still trying to decide between the X3 and the Gunslinger II, but...- firestorm1284

Any packs besides Eberlestock to carry a rifle?
I'm looking for a large backpack to use as a hunting/camping/BOB bag. One of my main criteria is that I'd like to be able to carry a rifle in it. I love the idea of the Eberlestock packs, but many of them are $300 or more. Are there any decent options that are less expensive? Also, does anyone...- firestorm1284

New Aluminum Chassey Designs
Re: New Aluminum Chassey Designs Thanks for the input so far everyone. I have redesigned the forearm. The reason it was square before is because I was planning on making it out of square tubing. I can't have the forearm and action block be one piece or they will be too large to fit in my...- firestorm1284

New Aluminum Chassey Designs
Hey fellow 'hiders. I've been working on an aluminum chassis system for bolt action rifles that incorporates an AR-15 pistol grip and a Magpul PRS buttstock (You'll have to try to imagine a PRS over the "buffer tube" in the rear). It's somewhat of a melding of an XLR and an AICS chassey system...- firestorm1284

Fulton Armory .308 Barrel Results
Re: Fulton Armory .308 Barrel Results No problem TX - I doubt I will ever shoot anything heavier than 175 grain bullets in it though. And yes, the 43 grain load is just a starting load, but this was my first outing with the rifle, so that's where I started. I expect to be able to achieve...- firestorm1284

Fulton Armory .308 Barrel Results
Re: Fulton Armory .308 Barrel Results Tx - these were extremely early phase loads. Those 4 groups were shot DURING barrel break in. They were simply 168grain Nosler Custom Competition bullets with 43 grains of Varget, OAL of 2.81" Unfortunately, you can't experiment too much with a semi-auto...- firestorm1284

Fulton Armory .308 Barrel Results
Hey all, I posted awhile back asking for advice on barrel selection for an LR-308 style rifle built on POF receivers. I got a lot of responses, and ended up selecting a 20" heavy barrel from Fulton Armory. I sent them my bolt ahead of time, and they headspaced the barrel to the bolt at no extra...- firestorm1284

RedX Arms - Red X Arms... My experience with them
I recently was in the market for some components for both a target style AR-15 and a target style LR-308. I was on a pretty tight budget and needed to buy a few barrels. I did a lot of looking around, and somehow stumbled upon RedX Arms. They had some seemingly excellent prices on their barrels...- firestorm1284

308 POF Barrel Nut Wrench?
Re: 308 POF Barrel Nut Wrench? Well, I installed the barrel tonight. I machined out the inside of the barrel nut to the diameter of my barrel. Then I installed the barrel and nut, and used a strap wrench to tighten up the nut. I tightened the barrel nut on as tight as I could by hand, then...- firestorm1284

308 POF Barrel Nut Wrench?
Re: 308 POF Barrel Nut Wrench? WTF!?!?!? Thanks for the info Tom - forgive me, but I hope you're incorrect! That's insane for a wrench! I might have to try to fab something up on my own, or use a strap wrench.- firestorm1284

308 POF Barrel Nut Wrench?
Hey guys, I'm attempting to install my new barrel onto my POF 308 upper. Much to my chagrine, my AR-15 armorer's wrench pins do not match up with the 308 POF barrel nut. I can't find any information on this, and as usual, POF won't answer their phones. Also, it does not appear that the DPMS 308...- firestorm1284
