    Barnes Match Burners .308? Not finding much..

    So these are relatively new to the whole match bullet scene, and I read some preliminary stuff that look good. Now there's nothing to be found. Anyone done any experimenting with their 155's? Or 175's for that matter. Anything. Are they a viable replacement for SMK's or AMAX's? Or Scenars? Man...

    For M1A owners, SADLAK rocks!

    Just wanted to give a shout to Sadlak, and the unbelievable parts they put out. If you're a new M1A owner, it's a company to file away if you ever need some parts, cleaning supplies, or little M1A "knick knacks". Seriously, their parts are at least 5x's better than the parts they are replacing...

    Range Report Someone explain BC's to me.. Im Lost

    So Ive been shooting some 178 gr AMAXs through my M1A and love them. The only handload I can get consistency with, and it's VERY consistent at 200 yards. But for kicks and giggles, now that I have a load, I was going to try developing another. Looking through Sierra, Hornady, and Barnes, I...

    Hornady Match, Federal, or Remington Brass? .308

    Need a rating in order for those three. Using an M1A, so no more than 5 reloads per brass. All three are readily available, as well as Lapua, but just can't pony up the coin. Or would I be better to just order Winchester online? I FL size, uniform primer, and trim every time. Just wondering what...

    Anyone using Superformance w/ .243 Win?

    Buddy of mine shoots a .243 savage and has had GREAT luck with Hornadys Superformance SST's. He's wanting to get into reloading, and likes the aggressive velocities with the Superformance for flat shooting and down range ballistics. Anyone using this? The 8th Manual doesn't cover it, and...

    Barnes Tipped Tac-TX Bullets? Any experience?

    Looking for a nice all purpose fun on range day, home defense .308 round, and have noticed Barnes makes a nice line of tactical bullets for reloading. Does anyone have any experience with any of the TAC X Line in 168 grain? Specifically I have an affection for tipped as expansion seems to be a...

    Turn gas off on M1A for Superformance use?

    Not to beat a dead horse...... If one were to turn the gas spindle and vent all gases out the barrel, would it be safe to shoot the Superformance? We know the pressures are safe in the chamber, just not through the gas system. So by turning off the system and not letting the op rod feel a thing...

    Rifle Scopes Is 1.25-4x24 scope enough for 300-500 yards?

    Looking for something to put on my Sadlak mount sitting atop an M14 N.M. All shooting is 500 yards or less, most targets in the 100-300 yard range. So having used a 3x ACOG in the past, and loving it, looking at Trijicon's AccuPoint 1.25-4x25. The aforementioned targets are all large. No...

    Hornady Superformance in M1A?

    Have the ability to get this ammo for a great price from time to time, wondering if it's safe for use in M1A. Getting some mixed reviews... 150 grain, 2980fps, .308 cal. Also can get Hornady Custom 150 grain, slightly slower. Is their brass worth keeping for future reloading?
