    Opinions on a 16 inch spr?

    Re: Opinions on a 16 inch spr? Bump +1 on BulaMike's suggestion of 75 gr. b/c that is what your barrel really wants to shoot. Your barrel is gtg. 68s are okay too, but smaller grain with a 1:7 twist really have problems, unless you are using long tracer type mil. rounds. I dont know much...

    semi auto vs bolt action

    Re: semi auto vs bolt action Developing a flinch on one rifle is a BAD habbit. It travels to others. Many different muzzle brakes out there. Normal 308 threading is 5/8 - 24 threading and this will fit most muzzle brakes. Try this, Troy Industries Claymore Muzzle Brake AR-10, LR-308 - -...

    Natural Point of Aim training ??

    Re: Natural Point of Aim training ?? Off your rocker? Yes. But what you are talking about makes sense. Obviously with no tool to get a precise shot, it makes it that much harder, however, when you practice with sights/scope than you naturally have movements that take you right back there...

    semi auto vs bolt action

    Re: semi auto vs bolt action Well, where to start. PTR 91 - Good gun. Do you have a muzzle break on that bad boy? Get one. Or weigh it down. They Kick Hard. I have LR308 and have buttstock weight, and 2 lb scope. No worries there. PTR can be pretty accurate. But, You have to realize...

    How an MOA is measured

    Re: How an MOA is measured Yeah, I just didnt want to go into the specifics of the degrees, of a circle, when I was really concentrating on the MOA aspect, and using a circle proportionate out from that, making a cone. That is correct, sorry for not specifying. Been around for awhile, they...

    DPMS .308 bolt carrier

    Re: DPMS .308 bolt carrier I dont know about anything recently, but that has just been my exp. in past. I feel they are pretty good about getting you what you want. I feel the same way about Midwest Industries when trying to track down BCM stuff. BCM doesnt answer the phone, but good email...

    Opinions on a 16 inch spr?

    Re: Opinions on a 16 inch spr? Oh No. What I mean is a tighter twist like a 1:7 or 1:9. If you have a 1:11 or 1:12 or so, it is not quite enough to hold stability on a larger grain like the 68 to 75 grain bullet. I have the 18 inch BCM stainless steel and it is 1:8 twist. For this very...

    Opinions on a 16 inch spr?

    Re: Opinions on a 16 inch spr? Yeah, Hawk45 might agree, the last thing you want to do is spend $$ and be happy but still feel that for another $150 - 200 you would have been 100% set on optics. I have been there and hate that feeling.

    DPMS .308 bolt carrier

    Re: DPMS .308 bolt carrier Dont mean to be off topic, but why the need? Did yours break, or as a replacement for non chrome BCG? Reason is, I have a custom built LR308 1 month old and want to know what I am in for. I have heard too, that FA is the DPMS. and sometimes, if you contact...

    Advanced Marksmanship Zeroing at 300 yards?

    Re: Zeroing at 300 yards? S1GNAL Listen to What Redmanss is saying. Preferrably, zero your scope for 200 Yards. With some practice, you can shoot shorter distances with precision. And you are that much closer to a 400 or 600 yard shot. If you are zeroed at 300, then it can become...

    How an MOA is measured

    Re: How an MOA is measured First, get an understanding of elevation. Understand your ballistics for the particular round you are using. Okay. At 100 yards, your bullet will drop so much, then more at 200 and so on. Second, get an understanding of your windage. Again, know your specific...

    Opinions on a 16 inch spr?

    Re: Opinions on a 16 inch spr? Sorry, To follow up as well. Find out what your twist rate is, and hopefully it is tighter, like 1-8 or 1-9 and then you can use a heavier bullet, like 68 to 75 grain bullet. This heavier bullet will allow you to reach out and touch with more accuracy as...

    Opinions on a 16 inch spr?

    Re: Opinions on a 16 inch spr? CPT. OBVIOUS You are NOT asking too much for the middy. Decent round. But if you really want a good 3 inch group at 300 yds or 1 MOA, you have to take a look at 3 things on the gun, and then the optics. I like DPMS more for 308, but anyway, to get you where...
