    XM7 worries from the field.

    My main complaint with the platform is ambidextrous mag release. Had a KAC 15 and went to a rifle course where I wore a chest rig. When we moved from position, holding my rifle close to my body caused me to drop a mag with only the round in the chamber. Sold the rifle.

    XM7 worries from the field.

    dude, 1.4 million screaming chinamen will get to see our portable suns. I have seen some recent developments with nickel cased ammo that is getting 100 extra feet per second out of the 556 round, and has a choice of 55, 62, 75, and 77 grain ammo. Would like to see the case loaded with the...

    XM7 worries from the field.

    The Marines are on to something with a 416 based individual weapon with suppressor. What can be done with powder and bullet design to get the leathality increase within reason? The M250 gets me all warm in the jiggly bits for a 240L replacement, and two more to each squad is a lot of damm...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    Looking for Hide members that have had great results pushing bullets in the 130-155 grain range out of 16" barrels. I know the easy button is the 175 grain SMK, but don't like throwing them out at barely 2400 FPS from a supressed 16" barrel (DDV5V3)... I eventually want to SBR the rifle with...

    Durable do-all .308 semi auto - which one to get?

    I have a DD5 in 6.5 creedmoor with an 18” barrel. I would buy another one (my 3rd) with absolute confidence. It holds its own with more expensive rifles and is easy to shoot well wot a Mark 5 scope on top.

    2nd time out with a MK20 and I'm getting pierced primers every 2-3 rounds

    If you reload, use military hard primers. My bro had a SCAR 17 with the same problem that cleared up as son as we started using the harder primers instead of bench rest primers. Not the best solution, but it works!

    AR10 6.5 creedmoor barrel life

    I have two AR10s with 6.5 creedmoor barrels. One is a 20” Noveske and the other is a 16” Wilson combat. What has been others experience with barrel life in an AR10 platform. I have heard a reference of 2.5-3k rounds for a bolt gun with reloads/ factory ammo. Since the reloads I’m shooting...

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    I have played with 130 and 135 grain bullets before. Looks like I’m gonna have to break out the cash and buy some more bullets from Barnes to play with. If I come up with some kind of winning load using the powders I have on hand., I’ll try to share my results with you. My rifle is a Daniel...

    308 Winchester AR Only

    Anyone working with 135 grain Sierra Varmiter bullets or Barnes 130 grain TTSX? I need a solid load for a DDV5 with a 16” barrel. I have access to CFE223, Varget, and 4064. My goal is a under 200 yard deer load for a smaller shooter. any experience from others would be appreciated

    14.5 pinned and welded 308 AR...Any reason not to? And what barrel would you guys suggest?

    Would like to see this short boi when you finish it! I could see this rifle being used with 135 grain Sierra Varmitres to hunt small bodied deer in tight terrain. Would make a great suppressor host to keep the OAL shorter than a jousting lance. Good luck with the build!
