    .308 Winchester

    8208 is wicked good with 155's too. I load 44.2 under a lapua scenar for 2900 FPS out of a 22 inch tube.

    What kinds of scopes did you use as a kid?

    I had a swift on my remington 581 S 22 bolt gun. The 270 win I used for deer had a bushnell 3-9 on it. Both rifles are stupid accurate. Still have them, but the optics are different now.

    20" .223 precision barrel choices that's not stainless steel?

    No kidding. Someone should let compass lake know they did it wrong when they made the MK12 series.

    6.5 Grendel

    The 100 grain ballistic tip and the 100 grain eld m are both lights out with 30.2 grains of 8208. The 95 grain vmax loves 31 grains. I prefer them to the heavies. They shoot flatter within my typical distance for this rifle.

    Hellfire vs sidewinder on 300 mag

    Thanks gentlemen. I didn't know of the existence of the hellfire match. Looks like the way to go to me.

    Hellfire vs sidewinder on 300 mag

    Is there a significant advantage to the area 419 sidewinder vs the hellfire on a 300 mag? I have a suppressor adapter for the hellfire, and wouldn't mind sticking with it on the .300 mag if performance of the smaller 3 port brake is adequate.

    30 cal bullets, lighter or heavier?

    Love the 155 scenar driven hard by 8208 under 800 yards in my 22 inch 308, but for longer range, I load the 185 berger juggernaut with RL17. It is outstanding.

    308

    I load 44.2 grains 8208 in lapua brass lit by a federal 210m to achieve those velocities. It is a custom bolt gun with a 22 inch bartlein barrel, so results may vary.

    308

    What bullet weight are you planning? 168 and lower? XBR 8208 all day long. I push 155 scenars out of a 22 inch bartlein at 2920.

    Gunsmithing Fully Bedded Action vs Only Pillars

    Full bedding will never hurt, but often help, even if just minimally. I fully bed all of my rifles. Took the time to learn to do it myself and enjoy it. Vs pillar bedding alone, you probably wont gain more than 1/4 moa, if that. Thats approx what my last bedding job gained

    Best Powder for 308/150GR Bullet?

    I run 44.2 grains 8208 lit by a fed 210m in lapua brass. This pushes a 155 scenar a tick over 2900 FPS out of a 22 inch bartlein 11 twist barrel.

    Best Powder for 308/150GR Bullet?

    8208 for 155's or lower. varget for 155 to 185. RL17 for 185 and up are my favorites for .308

    Sidearms & Scatterguns FNX-45 Tactical, is something wrong with them?

    Ive had one for over 7 years and haven't had one single malfunction with any type of ammo. Not one. It's stupid accurate but definitely a big framed pistol. They love hot loaded ammo. I use 7 grains CFE pistol behind the 230 grain XTP

    Leupold MK4 LR T 3.5-10 still good?

    The MK4 with m5 turrets are solid scopes. I have a 6.5-20 on my 6.5 creed as a placeholder until I can snag a MK5 or Kahles to replace it. I've taken it out past 1200 repeatably.

    6.5 grendel 100 grain ELD-M load

    I learned this lesson already. I loaded a couple to the same OAL as my nosler BT load and they were very much jammed.

    6.5 grendel 100 grain ELD-M load

    Anyone have a good load for the 100 grain ELD-M for the Grendel? Preferably with 8208, but I have H335 and Tac available too.
