    Sweet rifle. I miss my JAE stock.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Be very careful what scope you pick if you end up with an LRB receiver. The integrated scope rail causes the ejected brass to make contact with the windage knob and dings the shit out of it. I will only run NF scopes because the windage knobs come capped.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Thanks. They are American Precision medium (.856). Last I heard, they couldn't be had anymore.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    If you're serious about accuracy and don't mind spending the money, then an LRB M25 rear lug and McMillan stock all day, every day and twice on Sunday. This is what a properly built M1A can do with handloads. The rifle was built by Dave Ferrante of Heart Mountain Precision in Wyoming. 10...

    Optics Schmidt & Bender 6-36x56 PMII US LPI P5FL 1 CM CCW DT II + MTC LT/ST II ZC LT For Sale *** PRICE REDUCTION***

    So after a recent impulse buy, I downsized to a NF 4-20, so I no longer need this. Scope is brand new and only taken out of the box to view and never mounted as the rifle is not complete yet. All the specs are in the title. Part# is 163-911-64F-M2-15 Asking $4800.00 shipped and insured...

    300 prc berger 215otm vs 230otm

    You need to try both or you will never know. The 215 has a lower form factor than the 230 OTM so if they both tuned in your rifle at the highest node, chances are the 215 would have a slight advantage because it's BC to weight ratio is better. You can guess and look at numbers all day long...

    300 Norma Mag

    For me, load development encompasses a lot more than it should, but I'm anal. I'm trying different powders, bullets, primers and seating depth at 100 and then verifying at 600 yards, and I lose sleep if I don't think I've exhausted all the potential into the load. But that's just me.

    300 Norma Mag

    Honestly I'm now down to .308 and 30-06

    300 Norma Mag

    I got out of the 300 Norma and N570 because I started to care about barrel life. I don't need to spend 200 rds breaking in a barrel before it speeds up to maybe get another 500-600 rds out of it, only to start the process all over again.

    .308 Winchester

    Here is some more real world data for anyone who gives a shit. Using the same load of H4895 in temperatures ranging from 2 degrees to 90 degrees, I have seen maybe a 5 fps difference in velocity.

    .308 Winchester

    Exactly. I don't spit shine a barrel, clean a .308 tube every 200-300 rds, and I never break out a bore scope unless something drastic has changed on target. It's dirty again after the 1st shot and I'm putting 7-8 rds through it to foul it before I shoot anything meaningful on target anyway...

    .308 Winchester

    Anyone play with N550 in their .308? Quickload is telling me it will work well with heavies.
