Re: opinions-convert M1a or switch to AR-10 platform <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: opshin556</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Sheepfever, have I got a story for you. I purchased a springfield M1A loaded in 2008. Great rifle as is it. I wanted to...

Re: favorite 308 load for 600+ out of a 20" barrel? 178 gr AMAX 43 gr. Reloader15 CCI BR2 Primer Runs right at 2550 fps from a 22" barrel, but that's not max load yet. It is however, all I want to run through an M1A's operating rod. Still, while on the slower side, the accuracy is amazing...

Re: powders for .308 ? +1 for IMR4895. Currently having the best results with Alliant Reloader 15. Great velocities, great groups.

Re: M1A prospects. The SuperMatch is an awesome rifle, but the price can be a downside. The M1A National Match is a great place to start. It's a 1 MOA rifle all the way out to 600 yards, and beyond, given the right load. For the price, it is a great place to start getting your feet wet in the...

Re: 168 AMax or 178 AMax? Ill tell ya, my M1A is in love with the 178 AMAX. have shot the 155 to great results, didn't fair well with any 168 gr. factory offerings of any bullet type. Handloading the 178 to a fairly conservative 2550 fps has been a laser beam to 500 yards. Farthest we've been...

Re: Hornady concentricity tool Well, I've got one. But only 4 or 5 of every 50 reloads reads anything over .001". Always dial those back to within .001". Not sure if those would have been fliers or not. That said, I no longer get ANY fliers in my handloads, minus cold bore, but even that has...

never mind. got the manual today. Still, anyone have a pet load with the Barnes MPG or RRLP?

Re: what's so special about SR-25's? "Death Before Dishonor", bro. Nice C.A.B. You ever do a Spur Ride? Get a stetson?

Re: what's so special about SR-25's? Hey Cobra, were you a tanker? Just curious. We had the exact opposite experience with the SR overseas. Working with a navy team for 3 weeks, they talked to highly of theres. Even got to poke a round or two with it. From my take, having dealt with a few AR...

Re: SA M1A and Troy M14 MCS chassis That being said... troy makes some great stuff dont they?

Re: SA M1A and Troy M14 MCS chassis To be fair, the reason scope mounts don't work on M1A's, is operator error. If its an older standard, your chances of success are actually HIGHER, if that helps. Not to try to sway you from the stock, as it's a great piece. BUT if you're trying to watch the...

Re: What to do with my M1A Wow. way to abandon your own goals in pursuit of anothers OPINION. You say you've "wanted one for years" but you've HAD one for years. First thing to do is knock the dust off, and go shoot iron sights for a while and enjoy the gun. To say you wanted benchrest...

Re: XDm carry / night sights +1 for a smith. I just wasted the cash and bought it on the gun.

Re: Reflex sights Dont recall anyone being worried about the battery life. Just stating the fact that it lasted longer than I owned the thing.

Re: XDm carry / night sights Ive got the Trijicons in my XDm .40. Absolutely love them.

Re: Reflex sights Ill tell ya, used an Aimpoint CompM2 (older) in Iraq for 13 months. Would trust it ANY day of the week if it were my life on the line. It got thrown, bounced, slung, and dropped on more than one occasion. Never once had to re-establish zero. Fired three shots, always on...

Re: Barnes Match Burners .308? Not finding much.. Man, these must not be popular at all.... stickin to the AMAX family i guess.

So these are relatively new to the whole match bullet scene, and I read some preliminary stuff that look good. Now there's nothing to be found. Anyone done any experimenting with their 155's? Or 175's for that matter. Anything. Are they a viable replacement for SMK's or AMAX's? Or Scenars? Man...
