    Few questions about modifying KAC SR25

    What exactly are you going to gain by going from a 16" rifle to 20" rifle? How often will you be clearing rooms or other CQB activities? How often will you be shooting 800yards? What is the reality of most of your shooting? The 20" rifle is better than the 16" rifle as distance...

    Building a rifle for the wife..............and me

    LRJammer nailed it. Get her a .243 winchester. Factory loads from 58gr to 100gr+ are available everywhere & for a reasonable price. These loads are good for varmints to Elk. Recoil? What recoil?

    .308 155gr options

    Ya might wanna re-check your ballistic App... Your best bet for wind drift is a heavy bullet...208AMAX, 210 berger hybrids etc. You don't need them going that fast...even at 2550ft/s, they will shoot inside the 155s at 3000ft/s. A good compromise is the 178HPBT or the 185 Berger Juggernauts...

    Reloading for 308 AR gas rifle

    ARs are not like older gas guns such as M1 Garands and M14s that have op-rods which can be overstressed. ARs will handle bolt-gun loads and ask for more. Unlike bolt guns, you may see ejector/extractor marks on your brass even with light loads...each AR is different and you need to see what...

    Homebrewed M118 loads for gas guns

    My hunting load out of a DPMS LR-308 (20" bbl) is: 178 AMAX 44.4gr Varget LC or Win Brass Tula LRP Works well and also use it as a match load (usually with 175 SMK or 185 Bergers out front). This load is safe in both my 308 AR gas guns and M1A.

    Cost v. Benefit of Reloading .308

    Sivrup, Yes, i would make the same recommendation to anyone beginner or advanced reloader. As I previously mentioned, i value my time and consider reloading a chore...which doesn't exactly meld well with my competition schedule.

    Cost v. Benefit of Reloading .308

    Infidel, Let me start by saying that if you are spending more than $0.45 per round ALL in reloading, you are doing it wrong. 1. Think Big. Buy in Bulk. Buy Online. Buying reloading components at your Local Gun Store is a waste of money especially if you are buying components in small...

    Night Vision Getting Serious about NODs; Seeking advice on set-up (Thermal + NVS)

    Vic, Thanks for the reply and offer to listen to my needs. I will be calling TNVC, but probably not till the following weekend due to work schedule. I understand my budget is a bit constraining, and it is not set in stone. I just want to get into Quality NVDs without going crazy and getting...

    Night Vision Getting Serious about NODs; Seeking advice on set-up (Thermal + NVS)

    Like the title says, I'm looking to purchase NODs in the not too distant future (a few months, or now, if the pricing is agreeable). I am not made of money, however, i would like highly functional/effective set-up suitable for my application (static hunting over feeders) . Requirements...

    Forgive me in advance for being potentially offensive in my ignorance...

    MAT4, Berger also makes Hybrid (tangent + Secant ogive profiles) versions of these bullets which are jump tolerant and have even higher BCs than the "VLD" versions of the bullets. I hear ya on the old style Berger bullets, but Berger has addressed this with the new Hybrid series. My comment...

    Forgive me in advance for being potentially offensive in my ignorance...

    gman, You seem to have inferred the wrong conclusion from my post. Nowhere did I say that the .30-06 is the equal of the .300WM. What i did say is the loads the military chose for the .300WM can be achieved by the .30-06. Not only can the .30-06 achieve those velocities with more...

    ultrasonic cleaner questions?

    ultrasonic works for brass cleaning, however the brass comes out dull. I am done buying gimmicky ultrasonic solutions...they all work the same...not very well. My ultrasonic solution is lemishine + palmolive dish soap (the green one that's a degreaser)...this works better than all the...

    Looking for advice on a long range hunting rig from the reloading perspective

    Mike, Any rifle you buy will have it's detractors. No rifle/riflemaker is without problems...reference the massive trigger recall by Remington. What ever rifle you buy, get it in the 30-06 caliber. Make sure the rifle comes w a 26" or longer barrel & that the barrel twist is 1:10. Yes, the...
