    Less velocity with more powder?

    I have been working on a .308 load with Varget and 178g Amax's. Today at the range, I had prepared five loads ranging from 44.0 grains up to 44.4 in 0.1 grain increments. Brass was virgin Winchester. CCI 200 primers were used. All shots were loaded to same seating depth. The thing I found...

    Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V: Range Report

    Re: Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V One of their ADL Varmints was the basis for my build. Just kept the barreled action. It seemed like a good starting point since I wasn't paying for parts I didn't plan to keep anyway.

    DPMS SASS BARREL

    Re: DPMS SASS BARREL Good luck with it. It says they manufacture that model. Potentially the other one is outsourced and as a result comes in at a higher cost to them. My experience with DPMS has been that they stand behind their products so you should be good to go.

    DPMS SASS BARREL

    Re: DPMS SASS BARREL If you are looking for cheap, you probably won't beat the Model: GB-LP936 for $19.99 direct from DPMS. I have no idea of what the quality difference might be in this one compared to the Model: GB-SASS that goes for $109.99 from them...

    Rifle Scopes Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18

    Re: Help me decide. Vortex Razor 5-20 or IOR 3.5-18 Looks like this thread found a second life. I appreciate all of the input. I ended up going with the Razor and haven't looked back. I've been completely satisfied with it. Nothing against the IOR as I'm sure it is a fantastic scope and...

    .308 Overall Length - How long is too long?

    Re: .308 Overall Length - How long is too long? Thanks again for all of your input. Sounds like I'm within a range that will work. I will just have to see what the gun likes once I get some rounds through it. Funny, when I was typing my question I figured someone would chime in that when...

    .308 Overall Length - How long is too long?

    Re: .308 Overall Length - How long is too long? Great information guys. Thank you for all of your input. I am limited by the magazine length being less than what would be needed to ever approach the lands. The magazine will only allow about 2.89 OAL, at least it works with dummy rounds...

    .308 Overall Length - How long is too long?

    I am reloading for a Rem 700 in .308. Based on the measurements I've taken, the chamber OAL is 2.94. My question is, how long is too long of an OAL when seating the bullets? Is there a point of diminishing returns when seating the bullets closer to or into the lands? I'm using 175 SMK's.

    Question about AI Spigot for Atlas Bipod

    Question about AI Spigot for Atlas Bipod

    I've seen a picture on here of this spigot with a tension knob. Is this the "current" version of the spigot or do all of the spigots have this? I've read that there have been several upgrades along the way on the Atlas bipod so I thought there might be more than one version of the spigot. I...

    Stoney Point Rapid Pivot Bipod

    Re: Stoney Point Rapid Pivot Bipod I guessed that might be the case. Thanks for confirming. Are there any of the kneeling/sitting height bipods/supports that are worth considering? I've got a Harris for prone and bench needs.

    Stoney Point Rapid Pivot Bipod

    I searched and didn't find much on these. I'm not looking at it as a primary bipod but possibly as a sitting/kneeling support. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they any good?

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 3.5-25x56

    Re: Leupold 3.5-25x56 So it is a 3.5-25, not an 8.5-25? I wonder if the eye relief varies as much as their current offerings do over the power range.
