    DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards

    Re: DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards Went out today and tested our new load. Rig - DPMS 308LR bone stock except for the trigger (pulling the stock wanna-be military trigger was like dragging a engine block down a gravel road). Replaced it with a GEISSELE 3LBS 2stage. Load - 178 Hornady Amax, IMR4895...

    DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards

    Re: DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards Thanks for all the input. Been a little busy with work but we are going to try both 155s and 178s. But I am leaning toward the 175s. SITREP in a couple weeks. I am not going to worry about the integrity of the DPMS. From what I read and experience so far, I am...

    Moving to America/Canada with firearms

    Re: Moving to America/Canada with firearms I live in Arizona and we have the most right to bear arms laws available. I also work logistics for local PD and are always looking for forensics staff as we are expanding our lab and capability. Immigrants are allowed to hunt "legal immigrants" that...

    DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards

    Re: DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards Interesting, I never considered the effect of a round going subsonic just short of my target. I assumed the flight path would remain until altered by the environment. That would explain my confusion as to why at 800 I can punch the same hole twice and at 1000 I...

    Need help buying my first AR

    Re: Need help buying my first AR I own several bone stock Bushmasters including an M4. Everyone is stone cold accurate and reliable. Standard M4 can be found all day for $800-900. My experience. Good luck shopping, info over load is no fun.

    DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards

    Re: DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards Forgot to add, I am not a competition shooter. I am satisfied with hitting the bread box on a deer or pronghorn at 1000 yards. With that in mind, what do you consider "good enough". For me, it is hitting a 17" X 14" target cold bore.

    DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards

    Re: DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards 24 inch barrel. With all of my bolt action rifles the heavier round has made all the difference. My concern with a 175 on this rig is bolt integrity. I have no experience developing a load for a semi auto and this is my first DPMS. I have no intent on rapid...

    Other Tactical Stocks?

    Re: Other Tactical Stocks? Diddo, google your rifle and tactical stocks, plenty to choose from. I found a CHOATE "ultimate sniper" stock for my Savage that I am very pleased with. Good luck

    DPMS 308 LR AT 1000 yards

    I am new to this site and apologize if this question has already been covered but I searched and could not find any related topics. I recently acquired a DPMS 308 LR and have been working on a load for 1000 yards. Currently using a 165 Match King which is dead accurate out to 800. Push to 1000...
