    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Thanks Russ, I hope so too. You have probably one of the best people I've worked with in the firearms industry. I don't expect anyone to go to the lengths that you have but it would be nice if they were as prompt as you are with your responses.

    New reloading strategy, comments wanted.. :)

    This is what I have been doing. I will say that if it's windy out you're going to want to be inside while weighing your powder charge. If I'm working with non-extruted powders I'll just take my Redding BR powder measure and if extruted then I'll take the charge master and use it inside our high...

    Oops, I knew that. Don't know what I was thinking. Thanks Russ, you've been a big help through all of this.

    Suppressors Anyone use Bowers suppressor covers?

    So do they prevent heat raising up from the suppressor and causing a mirage effect in the scope?

    Benchmark?

    Can't remember what my starting load was but I ended up at 49.2grs of benchmark pushing a 110gr Vmax at 3217fps. You'd want to work up to that of course.

    I'm gonna load some of these up tonight. I know you don't measure COAL via the tip of the bullet, but i don't have the means to measure from the ogive. Do you know approximately what the COAL would be from the tip? Nice thing about my range is that we have a highpower building where I can plug...

    Wow, that's quite the jump. I usually seat mine to 2.845. I took out my 16" .308 and tried my load from the OP(178gr Amax w/44.5grs Varget). It really didn't do too well. About 1.25 OAL if not worse. I have some 175gr SMKs I think I might try out. Russ said the Covert barrels seem to like that...

    Emergency Iron Sites

    True, I would like open notch sights. I don't like the idea of a diopter sight mounted that far forward. I used to run a Aimpoint H1 at 45 degrees on another scoped AR and burned multiple coyotes at less than 25yds with it. IMO that is the way to go. My only beef with a setup like that is that...

    Emergency Iron Sites

    I had this happen to me just this last season using a suppressed AR. I shot it in the gut through my 2.5-10x24 on the lowest setting. It ran straight at me(due to the suppressor I imagine) and I had to roll the rifle counter-clockwise and put another in it at about 10-15ft away from the cedar...

    Benchmark?

    I use it with the 110gr Vmax. It works great with that.

    60 Gr. VMAX Powder Help

    The granules are about half the size of Varget. They meter pretty well for me.
