    20" .223 precision barrel choices that's not stainless steel?

    I'm looking for a barrel for my precision AR dedicated to shoot 77gr SMK. I want something that's reliable, easy to clean, lightweight, and can hold sub-moa precision while maximizing the potential of the .223 cartridge. I specifically don't want stainless steel barrels, since I want all my...

    Never seen this before, what am I dealing with here?

    So I was testing my 308 handloads in my Colt 901 when I noticed a round didn't sound normal. Low and behold, the ejected casing showed a small pin hole at the edge of the primer, and it pitted the bolt face as well. At first I thought this is a sign of high pressure, except it happened...

    Did I just screw my rifle by shooting surplus cupronickel bullets through it?

    Hi guys, Long story short, I have a 308win Colt LE901 with chrome lined barrel. When I first got the rifle, it was holding sub-MOA accuracy with factory 175gr Fiocchi match ammo. I bought a thousand rounds of AM2030 148gr surplus with cuprronickel FMJ for plinking and training, and shot a few...

    RCBS X-die leaving scratch marks on the case neck, remedies?

    I recently got a set of used X-die for my 308. Last night, when I set them up to resize some once fired LC brass, I got the results below. The top pair was resized by the RCBS, and the bottom pair by Forster FL die. As the picture shows, the die really scratched the neck portion of the brass...

    The tale of two 308 reload batches

    Hi folks, I'm working on developing my 308 handloads for a 16" AR10, and came across the following observation. I'm a bit perplexed as to the root case, and am hoping the community can shed some light. I made two batches of handloads: same bullet, same powder load, two different brass, and...

    Which 155gr Palma bullet have I got here?

    I bought some factory 2nd 155gr .308 bullets from Midway recently. The box came with generic label, and no name brand. Called up tech support and they don't know the manufacture either. Here's the P/N from Midway website: Product #: 974257 Factory Second Bullets #: 847761 Here's the average...

    New to 308win reloading, need advice

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the world of 308win (been shooting and reloading 223 up til now). I'm starting my load development and could use some advice to narrow down my choices. Please bear with me as I tend to get pedantic. Goal (in order of priority): 1. To create a few 308 loads that'll...

    To Small Base or not to be

    Hi all, I'm starting my 308 load development for an AR10 pattern semi-auto (Colt LE901). Previously when I loaded for my AR15 SPR type rifle, I've used RCBS small based die to aid with feeding. Question is, for a 308 WIN semi-auto rifle, do I need a small based die? If so, who besides RCBS...

    Which Atlas bipod cleats?

    I have an Atlas V-8 bipod with factory rubber feet. They work ok, but in the last shoot when I really needed to push forward on them, the rubber feet just don't dig in as well. So I'm thinking of getting one of these cleats. Problem is, I'm not sure which one works better. Is the more...

    Reliable, in-expensive AR10 mags recommendations?

    Hi all, I recently joined the semi-auto DMR family with the purchase of a Colt LE901. The gun comes with a Magpul AR10 mag, but I've had some questionable experiences with Magpul mags in the past, so I'm looking at other options. After some research, I came to the realization that the AR10...
