    M40a1 build guide

    Re: M40a1 build guide Turk ... yes, that looks about right from what I've been able to find as well. However, I don't want to be respected to just 7.62 NATO so am going with a chamber that will be accurate with my hand loads but also function well with hunting 308 if need be. Not an exact...

    Re: M40A1 308 chamber ... Spoke to Dave at PTG and told him what I'm shooting. He is recommending the 308 Bisley Match, which is what I will be going with. Great guy to speak with and I appreciated the time he spent with me on the phone.

    Gunsmithing M40A1 308 chamber ...

    Re: M40A1 308 chamber ... Generally I reload all my 308s with 168gr HPBT but also use factory 155s at times. I think my best bet is to give Dave Kiff at PTG later this week and see what he recommends. I definitely do not want to be boxed in with an overly tight chamber.
