    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.

    Up close of base Scope overview Height over bore Elevation turret at 100 yard zero. Would it help to put my rear ring more over the elevated section at the rear of the base?

    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.

    Member Link Up TEXAS

    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...
