    Would like some bullets!!!

    Hey Guys, I am starting to build up a load for my .308. Instead of going out and buying boxes of 50 bullets I was going to see if anyone had some between 155g-170g they would sell for a good price. I will pay shipping. PM me if you do! I would really appreciate it! Sincerely, Broke College...

    Gunsmithing 13" Twist for .308

    Re: 13" Twist for .308 Thanks for the info guys. Ya I am sure. Its actually a 13.5 to be exact. I had my gunsmith measure it 2 different ways and we all got the same...How will this affect long range shots? Smaller bullet=less distance?

    Re: Best Muzzle Break for 7mm-08 Thanks for your input guys! I hand load all my ammo and it is firing a comparable round to a .308 with the 165g bullet. Thus I would say the recoil is about the same. Also the recoil is not a problem if shooting 10 rounds at a time but I am a long distance...

    I am building a custom 7mm-08 that I will be using for 800-1000yd target shooting (paper). I will be handloading ammo and I am a small built guy.
