    best .308 dies?

    Re: best .308 dies? That is one aspect I did not mention. The M1a really beats up the brass. I was able to score a pretty good amount of once fired (from a M24 Bolt Gun) M118 Lake City LR brass. From what I hear, the M1a is know for this (along with most semi autos). I found that when I...

    Re: best .308 dies? Thanks for the info. I think I will go ahead and order my dies while I am over here. The way this new gov is taking a nose dive to socialism, I figure I better get what I can, while I can. Some of the info give is a bit more detailed that what I understand. I wish I...

    Re: best .308 dies? My M1A has a Krieger Heavy Match, and the action is bedded into a McMillan stock. It has a match trigger, bored flash supressor, and unitized gas system and a mark 4 on top. I was hoping that match dies would also improve my groups with it. It was still getting built...

    300 win mag ??

    Re: 300 win mag ?? yea, and I see where Savage is now making the FC in .338 LM. I am far from and expert, but for the money, I do not think you can beat them. I doubt there is much out there that shoots as well for the price. I have wanted their little scout model for a few years now
