    Head spacing for AR

    Happy New Year.... I hope!! I need input from AR10/LR-308 guys about how you are doing it. If you bump more or less than you would a bolt action. Or how much do you like to bump your shoulders for .308. I just got the Hornady lock-n-load headspace gauge. Thank You

    Bumping shoulders, how do you know?

    I use a "Dillon precision head space/case gauge" for .308. I know where I end up after I run through a FL Forster sizer die and then check case in the Dillon gauge but I don't know how much I'm actually bumping shoulder. How do you guys know you're bumping back .001" or whatever? Is there a...

    Taper Crimping .308

    The neck tension in my Winchester .308 brass has been consistent at .002" since I started using the Forster "Bench Rest" sizing die. But my loads are for my LR-308 gas gun. I loaded a dummy round to use to chamber it from out of mag fast and bullet was jumping out of neck by about .002 to .004...

    Burn rate to barrel length

    Hi guys. I have become cognizant that at some point powder burn rate becomes a factor which I had not really considered much if at all. Just been distracted trying to nail down much else in this art of handloading I find myself involved in. So I just load for one rifle, a .308 gasser. Actually...

    Was shopping for brass at Midway. They list 2 times .308 cases new from Winchester, different priced, different product family #'s. Priced $1.30 difference for bag of 50. I dint get it. Product descriptions between them are exactly same unless I missed something. One is available & one is...

    Fouling rounds?

    I do not really understand this fouling rounds concept, novice here.... I imagine you are running a few rounds through to get your barrel going before getting down to business at the range?

    A-Max non coated vs moly

    Hi, I have loaded the non coated 30 cal A-Max 168 gn over 43.5 gn IMR 4064 and Remington # 9 1/5 large primers in Nosler and Hornady cases. This load printed 5 rounds 11/16" at 100 yds so far out of my 16" .308 auto loader. That's one time at range so far with my new gun. But a few reviews at...

    Rifle Scopes Now or wait?

    When my AR build is done I need some glass. There are some good 1-4's out there now but I really would like some more power. There are some 1-6's but the real good ones are too much for me to spend. The ones under a thou I'm not sold on and I want FF. I can do FF for under a G in 1-4 with a SS...

    Made a big parts order for my .308 build

    Well I just ordered the JP Super Match in 16" and they were available now. A big reason I went JP is because their enhanced bolt comes with it and of course it is matched to the barrel, for me that is a huge plus but you do pay for it. Yeah, the 16" barrel available, but the bolt has a 4 week...
