    .308 Winchester

    Yeah but he clearly stated the 2740 fps load was from standard cases, not the hybrid. And I also have my doubts. about how safe that load is. Everyone in F class must be scratching their heads wondering why they need a barrel 10" longer to achieve those speeds. And for the record, I'm a...

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Or does it slide over the barrel a good amount?

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    That seems short as that brake looks to be 3-4" long?

    XM-3 on CMP, what’s the story behind these?

    Anyone with an original XM3 or exact clone, can you let me know what the barrel length is including the original Surefire muzzle brake? Thanks.

    So I was at one of local stores today to grab some primers and they had a box on the 174 on the shelf. Grabbed it just for the hell of it and started some measurements as soon as I got home. I would have to have a COAL of 2.99 to touch the laads in my M1A. Not sure i want ro jump them .190...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 4-20 ATACR vs 5-25 ATACR

    I've been completely satisfied with the 5-25 since I bought it over the summer. On another interesting note, NF has removed FOV from the specs for all scopes on the website.

    .308 Winchester

    Right there with you. I've always tried to make the underdog fly with the aces with the highest BC bullets. The experience that sticks out the most in my mind was a half MOA 7 SAUM load with 183 Sierra's that I took to a mile and couldn't hit with any kind of consistency. Switched to 184...

    .308 Winchester

    Some people can get the TMK's to shoot and some can't. I like consistency and when I get 1 shot out in left field that turns a good group to shit, it gets annoying. It happens a lot more with the TMK's and other tipped bullets I've shot. I've given up on chasing the highest BC bullets in favor...

    .308 Winchester

    I had the same issue with the 168 and 175 TMK. Staying away from tipped bullets for now and currently playing with the Berger 175 OTM.

    .308 Winchester

    I will let you know if 2500 fps with a 215 Berger is safely doable in a 24" barrel seated around 2.95 with Lapua brass, as I am doing something very similar to this in a few months. Just waiting on the 9 twist barrel to show up.

    Sorting Brass By Neck Thickness

    I do sort cases by weight for anything out to 600 and beyond if I'm looking at group sizes. I don't have the patience to sort by actual volume.

    Sorting Brass By Neck Thickness

    Neck tension and brass thickness are related so that's why I'm inquiring. I can tell the difference when I mandrel brass to set tension that some of them do not feel the same.

    Sorting Brass By Neck Thickness

    To start this is not a bench rest related question. Simply looking for info from anyone that sorts brass by measuring neck thickness for shooting at 600 and beyond. I don't turn necks and typically order a no turn chamber, but I'm interested to hear if sorting by thickness will have any impact...
