    Post anything that has helped you as a reloader!

    I ordered one from Scott back in June ($230 for the 1010), and still has not shipped. Originally he said 3-4 weeks but I guess he is backed up?

    Sig 716 FTF with New Stock

    If you are using the spring from your carbine tube then it is not long enough. A rifle length spring is about 2" longer.

    Rifle Scopes NF F1 vs F1 Mil-Spec what is the difference...

    The mil-spec version is only on the F1, I am not aware of any other models which it is offered. All the rest built the same. And as stated above I believe the difference is an adhesive is used making service difficult if not impossible, possibly done to meet a specific contract requirement?

    Deburring the flash hole.

    my thought is this, if you sort cases according to weight, then you should perform all the uniforming steps you can to get the most consistent results from said weight sorting. That eliminates more variables as I see burrs in about 50-60% of the 1x cases I prep. I understand leaving the burr...

    Rifle Scopes Saturday Delivery, Yes Please, a BEAST has arrived

    Let me preface this post by saying I love the NF products, and will continue to buy them. I just can't get my head around having a scope that adjusts .1 on the windage knob and .2 on the elevation. If .2 is sufficient then just build me a .2 adjusting scope and set up the reticle for my .1...

    LMT .308 Modular Weapon System 18" Match Grade Barrel with 1:11 Twist

    This sounds close, I have been unable to get to 1k but my ballistics ae app is tuned dead nuts on my load (g7 model) out to 850 and I need 12.6 to get to 1k @ 2000DA running 2530, so I think you may be running a bit faster than the chrono is saying, perhaps closer to 2565?

    LMT .308 Modular Weapon System 18" Match Grade Barrel with 1:11 Twist

    I have a 20" CL 1:10 bbl and switched to the 16" CL 1:10 twist. The 20" was getting just shy of 2600fps average velocity with 118lr. The 16" is getting 2530 with the 118, as well as 46.2 of varget under the same pill. This speed is chrono'ed and confirmed at distance, which means I am going...

    AR nomeclature

    You can certainly call it whatever you like, it is after all your rifle (mine is called 'Lizabeth). The SASS and REPR (lots of people don't even know the 'ol Black Cat makes a REPR) are just model names for a specific package from DPMS. It is not (in this instance) a "classification" of rifle...

    308ar Barrel length question

    With a 16 inch CL bbl my LMT runs ~2550 with the 175smk 118LR as well as my hand loads. No pressure signs I believe I could easily hit 2600 without issue if I wanted to. 168s should be easier to hit that speed. That was chrono'ed as well as confirmed at distance of 850 yards with a 9.3 mil come...

    League Of Denial - NFL & Head Trauma - Should Your Son Play?

    Nope, I didn't miss the point at all. I just have a different opinion on the matter. I never was under the impression that football was anything but a violent game when played at the professional level. I have friends that played in the 80's, 90's, and 00's in the NFL. None of them regret it...

    League Of Denial - NFL & Head Trauma - Should Your Son Play?

    I will preface this post by saying I have no issue with anyone that feels they should keep their kids out of sports for safety's sake. That said, I believe that this is yet another blow to the American way. We are fast becoming a society that is completely unwilling to accept any risk/sacrifice...

    Best AR-10 for $2k budget

    You are already looking at probly the best shooting 308 AR under 2k. The DPMS SASS is exactly what you describe, the best "bang" for the buck. I have shot a couple that were EZ moa rifles with factory ammo. If you can afford to squeeze a bit more $$ out, the DPMS REPR will shoot as good and be a...
