    Cost v. Benefit of Reloading .308

    I have been reloading for a few months for 2 .308's (AAC-SD bolt gun and a DPMS LR-308). Both of these rifles, I have found, shoot best with the 175's, either 118LR or FGMM with the FGMM 168's a close second. I have also found the 130 gr SOST/OTM Barrier (MK319 Mod 0) does very well out to about...

    My secret to speedy case prep....

    Seriously, who knew a 2.5 yr old boy would rather sit in Dad's lap cleaning primer pockets and marking some LC/LR brass than to watch Mickey Mouse or Chip n Dale.. It was the most fun I have had prepping brass so far...until Mommy came home and found little tiny powder residue fingerprints...

    DPMS LR 308 Accuracy? Decent grouping?

    Just picked up a DPMS LR 308 on a good trade deal. It is a basic Oracle model with 16" barrel and rattling CAR stock. Only factory upgrade appears to be the factory camo finish. Trigger is garbage and the flash hider is worthless for my purposes. Prior owner did upgrade the hand guards to a Troy...

    Gunsmithing So I put a PTG DBM bottom metal in my factory Hogue stock.....why you ask?

    Some back-story.....a few months ago I decided I could not live without a chassis system for my AAC-SD. Despite the fact that with some elbow grease, sand paper, JB weld and some shims, I had my factory Hogue stock shooting 4 2/3" at 600 yards and about 3/4" at 300 yards. So I bought an XLR...

    Anyone ever get nervous pulling the trigger on your first ever re-loads?

    Ok, so I was sitting on about 700 pieces of .308 fire-formed brass and going broke trying to feed my rifle 200 round cases of FGMM. So after reading here for a few months, I set my wife off to BOLO for re-loading equipment at the many yard sales she goes to every weekend. She finally scored a...
