I've got a couple in AR15's I've been happy with.

Just stumbled upon this old gem again. Thought I'd bump it so others could enjoy the retardation.

Yeah, nothing exciting about those primers or little smears. Don't feel bad. Guys post pics of case heads that say Creedmoor right on them and still manage to write "Creedmore" all the time.

Not particularly, they appear to be .750 straight profile all the way, which is just a hair on the heavy side for my uses.

I've had bad enough luck with Faxon that I wouldn't recommend them for an accuracy build. I'm sure others have better experiences with them, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth.

That's not what I was getting at. I just see tons of silly posts where people tie an exact velocity to a given barrel length and believe it applies across the board.

Glad to see they're finally selling barrels again.

A difficult concept for many to grasp.

At least an intermediate if not rifle gas 16" for your application. No matter what, you're going to have a tricky operational window to have it work well both suppressed and unsuppressed without a way to regulate gas.

Sounds like you're getting an .073 regardless of any replies. A mid gas 308 with no provisions for gas adjustment in conjunction with occasional suppressor use sounds like a not great idea though.

Technically it's not an MOA grid. The horizontal hashes off of center are, but the tree is a BDC not correlated to any measuring system.

That's all fair enough. But it does sound like something that could be done with a 2x optic, which opens up a lot of options with more top end magnification and higher image quality/fewer compromises at the precision end of things. 1x optics with more than 6x max mag all seem so compromised that...

I've never heard BCM mentioned in the same sentence as impressive accuracy.

Oh yeah, I've been there, but it's not fun. And I have a hard time spending money on things that I know won't be fun. The make up shots required to walk a few rounds out to an imaginary 3 mil hold can easily take you from a stage win to a nobody.

Almost certainly not. If anything it might take a little more tuning to get it running. What it will get you is a very slightly softer shooting gun, but most people consider 5.56 to be soft enough that they won't really notice the difference. It may be a bit more noticeable if you suppressed it.

I would do that for recreational shooting, but for my main use case I'm on the clock and targets will be at mixed ranges from 3 feet to 600 yards and everywhere in between, so dialing is not an option. Don't take this as me being argumentative, I'm just illustrating how niche my requirements...

That's kind of my point/gripe. Wind is pretty much always a factor where I live. Anything beyond 350 yards will need some hold. Not sure why I'm the only person with this problem.

So how do you go about holding for wind?

Good luck. I've been here a few times. Chances are you'll spend a whole weekend just trying to get the basics of operation down. Then they'll drop off the radar. 6 months later they'll be all excited to go shooting again and you'll have to re teach them how to engage the safety, because they...

Okay then.
