    Short report on H4895 in 308 LC brass shooting 150s.

    JGorski, it's crazy how coincidental the accuracy node of this powder is to AR-Comp with 150s i got good groups at 43.5gr and at 44.7 per my notes. This was out of a 20" 1:10 twist LR-308. Sorry for teh diversion in topic, but w powder scarcity, it's good to have alternatives w known...

    2650fps fossible with a 175gr in 18" .308?

    broylz, You cannot cheat physics...short barrels suck if you are looking for velocity and range. I know its all tacticool to make a rifle as compact as a pistol, but as long as you understand that you are sacrificing range to look cool, then it's ok. That aside, the answer to your question is...

    178 gr Amax for hunting??

    The 178amax is my go-to hunting bullet. I've dropped red deer, hogs and white tail with them. I also shot 168 AMAX at a sheep...quatering away shot, went in in front of the hind leg and stopped inside the ram on opposite front leg, just below the skin...perfect muchroom. Sheep fell over...

    Off the shelf .30-06 Precision Rifle? Where and Which one?

    Lash, There is nothing wrong with shooting a .30-06 in competition. There's a fellow by the name of German Salazaar, a world champion that competes with a 30-06 and is a foremost expert on shooting the 06. His website is here The Rifleman's Journal: Articles Index The barrel should be...

    Berger is making more bullets

    Yeah, well, Berger needs to do something about their pricing... They make great products that only a few shooter can afford to shoot exclusively. Because of that they have a relatively small share of the market...they r ripe for a hostile takeover.

    Hunting & Fishing Do I really need a .300 Win Mag or will .30-06 be fine?

    30-06. Ditto to what previous posters have said about shot placement...it's more important than caliber. The next thing you want to research is the minimum velocity at which the bullet expands. That is more important than "energy of the bullet at XXX yards". Bullets like TTSX require a...

    .30-06 as a precision rifle ?

    Love the 30-06! Picked up two rifles this year chambered in the '06...one is an AR-based 30-06 (BN-36) and the other a savage model 112 BVSS. One rifle (the AR) will serve as my hunting rifle while the bolt gun will serve as my precision rig for NRA Long range matches (Fired prone at...

    M&P 10 Considerations...or maybe a bolt gun

    Ash, Leaving ur reasoning aside for a bit, could you please tell us why u think you can't do everything you want to with your 30-06 rifle? It will have better ballistics than a .308 anything, it will be lighter than a 308AR, more accurate than a 308AR, arguably more reliable, etc. If you...

    Anybody load .308 with AR COMP in a 20" barrel?

    I shoot AR-Comp from a 1-10 20" barrel DPMS LR-308. My accuracy load is 40.6-40.8gr (I usually load 40.7gr) behind 175gr SMK. I also shot 41.4gr AR-comp behind 175gr SMK through my Supermatch M1A @ 600yards, and shot my highest string (98-2x) in tricky wind conditions. Those would be...
