    Experiences with cheaper .308 projectiles

    Hoping to find a cheaper bullet around 150gr to buy and load in bulk to shoot out of a gasser with a nice barrel. For just banging steel. I am looking at the Hornady 150gr FMJ BT and BTHP. May try some load dev with some ball style bullets around 147gr. Anyone try fine tuning a blaster bullet...

    Large frame question

    If one was to build a .308 AR10 would a barrel change be all that was needed to move to 6.5 Creed? Bolts, buffers, etc all interchangeable? Assuming you might need to do a little fine tuning but over all they are compatitable? What other considerations should be made, for instance if one wanted...

    Mk 4 3.5x10

    How hard is it to find a 3.5x10x40 with the TMR reticle and M5 turrets? I have been looking at scopes for a SPR for awhile now and nothing looks quite right to me compared to one of these. 10x with 40x obj is perfect for me. If someone made a 40x objective scope with a similar footprint, side...

    Options for large frame receiver sets

    What are some of the higher end options for building an AR10 with a really nice barrel? Also is DPMS pattern the most common? Ive been looking at Aero but can't help but think I would want something a little nicer.

    Just started reloading 9mm how doy primers look?

    Seems like might be a little hot? 5.3gr of CFE pistol, 115gr Hornady HAP, brass from Fiocci range dynamics ammo, COAL is whatever federals 115 fmj load is (used to set the die). Primers look a little flowy? Gen 5 glock. Also going through and sizing this brass for the second time I had a case...

    Gas piston kits

    Wanting to put together a piston gun for general blasting, like keeping the BCG a little cleaner for longer. Won't be a precision gun, probably will run a red dot. I've been looking at the Adams Arms kits. Would like to get the gas block, rod and BCG. If there is anyone making barrels with gas...

    Question on older Leupold model

    Did Leupold ever make a 3.5x10 Mark 4 with the TMR reticle and mil turrets (m5?) Not sure which designation the mil turrets have. I see lots of mil dots with MOA turrets either 1 or .5 MOA.

    Glock trigger improvement options

    Not sure where to post this now that the side arm forum is gone. Still I think this forum has a good knowledge base for this kind of thing. Looking to improve a glock trigger or replace. I don't want a competition style trigger, just a nice clean and crisp one that has less take up and is a...

    Howa bottom metal options

    I have a Howa in a Bell and Carlson with the legacy sports mag kit. Works well, COAL is limited to 2.790. Seems a touch on the short side, does the difference between 2.79 and whatever an AICs max COAL is even matter with a 308? As far as I can find the Atlasworx is the only bottom metal that is...

    Barrel profile

    I am going to rebarrel my Howa 1500, I want a 22" barrel. Looking at a Bartlien heavy varmint. I want a lot of weight to soak up the recoil, the factory barrel is 1.17" at the shank and .850" at the muzzle. In a 3.5# Bell and Carlson, the gun bucks pretty hard (not braked either). This gun will...

    Barrel profile for KRG Whiskey 3 build

    Doing my first custom 6.5 Creed. Was thinking either Origin or a Tikka but for my purposes I am leaning towards a Tikka now. I am going to put it in a Whiskey 3 and those two go together nicely. I am looking at either another M24 which I have and like or a Heavy Palma. I would go for a Bartlien...

    Pierced primers with new Lapua brass

    Bought my first batch of Lapua for my 223 bolt gun with a longer throat. Loaded 24gr of Varget under 77 SMK at like 2.49 coal, should be fine. Saw several pierced primers or just badly cratered primers. I didn't do anything to the brass just loaded it. Im guessing this was my mistake? I don't...

    Good powders for 9mm w/ 10" barrel

    Title says it. Used to buy my practice 9mm but 40c a round is killing me now. What powders should I keep my eye on for a do all 115/124gr practice round out of regular pistols and a 10" pistol? Cleaner burning would be nice but beggars cant be choosers.

    Tikka feed ramp, long 223 rounds

    I bought a Tikka with a Bartlein, in a Manners, CDI bottom metal, MDT mags. The throat seems to be cut for 75/80gr stuff loaded around 2.55. Perfect for the MDT. My problem is the Tikka feed ramp seems a touch steep. It feeds well enough but the longest rounds I load tend to want to go meplat...
