    Help with subsonic .308 load

    Also I realize the 1:12 thing is limiting but when I bought the gun I had no intentions of a can and being able to spin heavy bullets isn't worth a barrel change right now.

    Help with subsonic .308 load

    I am going to look for some of the round nose Hornady 180s to try. I was just wishing that I could bulk buy 175 SMK and use the super/subsonic on the .308 and also use in my 300BLK.

    Help with subsonic .308 load

    I was not worried about grouping at this point. The low shot was that way on purpose, I wanted to see what it was doing at 20 yards. All I am worried about at this point in the load development is stability. If it won't stabilize then I wont proceed with this bullet. I will worry about the...

    Help with subsonic .308 load

    Ok since it has been bugging me, I loaded up 3 of each charge and headed back out back to shoot. Also this time I placed my target on a plywood back. Here is what I learned. 11.0 grn: I have no crono but to me 11.0 grns sounds supersonic. Great grouping and no key hole at either range...

    Shooting mat, gun case

    BLACKHAWK! Stalker Drag Mat - BLACKHAWK! I have this one and I am very happy with it. I wish it was a little longer but that is the trade off with a mat/case combo.

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST Running Out of Elevation

    It is an optical illusion. The scope sits level (it is resting on the bipod). I am 100% certain the base is on correct and is a 20 MOA base. I did measure the elevation and got 20 total Mils I then set the scope at the half way point and went and shot. From there I had to come up another 2.7...

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST Running Out of Elevation

    Well I got my head out of my rear and fixed the rings. This helped me pick up an additional 1.3 mil for a total of 7.3 vertical elevation over zero. Other than what I have done I think the only other way to help is to add a higher MOA base.

    Rifle Scopes Viper PST Running Out of Elevation

    What would be the best way to measure the rings to see if they are in spec? Also I checked and I am sitting at 14mil of elevation for my 100 yard zero.

    Gunsmithing Matching Cerakote to Duracoat colors

    I am trying to match a rifle I have seen off the internet but the colors they used were Duracoat. I plan on using Cerakote but the colors on-line make it hard to figure out a match. Does anyone know what Cerakote colors would match Desert Warrior Brown and Woodland Brown. Also is Duracoat...

    Looking for Pulled Bullets

    Where are some places that I can order pulled 175 and 220 SMK? The normal places have them sporadically but where is a place that specializes in them?

    Gunsmithing Applying Cerakote

    Re: Applying Cerakote The HVLP gun I have has a .6 tip vs a .8 that Cerakote recommends. How big of an issue it this or can I just add a little more paint to the ratio.

    Re: TEXAS I am looking for some small matches to get my feet wet and gain some experience before entering the larger comps. Anyone have any websites or places I could look for some locations and dates. I am in the College Station area but don't mind traveling for some fun.

    Gunsmithing Applying Cerakote

    I am practicing right now on some scraps of metal before trying it out on my firearms. My questions is about the "Wet Look" I have made several light passes to prevent runs. As I apply a second and sometimes a third light pass it seems as the previous coat has already dried (I know it hasn't)...

    Suppressors Brake or Thread Protector

    Re: Brake or Thread Protector Sorry I forgot to mention it is a .308. The rifle is a SPS tactical in a B&C Tactical Medalist A5. The rifle has plenty of weight so recoil really isn't an issue at the moment. I think rifles look cool with the brakes but didn't know if it would be worth it, but...
