    JP 308 "High Pressure" bolt & primer condition pics on a 6.5CM

    Thanks for the info! I wish they had one for my 300 Saum, it has the same issue with heavy bullets.

    I want one. What did it cost?

    Catching primers

    Good idea, MJY65. I did a similar mod with a straw and it works ok. Still one of the worst primer catch systems out there.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Anyone have any information on when they will come out with a 260 or 243?

    DPMS Sportical 308 Killing Brass

    An adjustable gas block will also help save the brass. There's no reason you shouldn't get 10 loadings + out of that Lapua brass, I load 308, 260, 300 Saum and 243 for DPMS AR's and get long brass life out of Lapua and Win brass. You want something that has a short brass life, try an M1 Garand...

    DPMS Recon Review

    That's not a G2 Recon, I hope someone didn't sell it to you saying that it was? That's the old style rifle.

    H4350 VS IMR 4350 Creedmoor

    ^^^ I've got some AA 4350, haven't tried it yet. What was the bullet and charge you used?

    the 6.5 Grendel gets one last try

    I don't care who trues and beds and who doesn't, but I proved it to myself that it can help tremendously. On the advice of Mike at Dtech I tore down an upper (that I had built) that was underperforming and sent it in to him for truing. Upon reassembling the accuracy improvement was...

    7mm or .300 WSM in AR10/SR25 platform?

    IDK if it's caused by the larger pin size, but I have had pierced primers with my DPMS Saum. I was thinking it's probably overgassed and am planning on putting on an adjustable gas block.

    Surplus CBC/Magtech 7.62 Plinking Ammo? .308 vs 7.62

    It's the ammo. That magtech crap wouldn't run my 308 either. No probs with prvi fmj ammo though, that ran perfectly.

    5 round 308 Pmag?

    I've cut down several 308 pmags to 5 rounders. It takes maybe 20 minutes once you figure out how to do it. Here's how I did it. First, cut down the body just below the first rib. This will keep it long enough to stay below the mag well. With this length it still holds seven rounds, so you...

    .308 20rd PMAGS at Cabela's $19.99

    Thanks for the tip! ordered 5 mags and a ball cap. Even had $22 in club points to burn!

    308 pmags at Midway!

    They ran out while I was checking out, grrrr! Thanks for the heads up though.

    Am I in trouble?!?!

    That is just the nature of the beast. Floating firing pin taps the primer when the bolt slams forward. Won't hurt anything, that is why hard cupped primers are recommended for semi-autos

    5.45 X 39 Comparisons.

    Funny I had a Vietnam vet tell me that "their rifles could fire our ammo but our rifles couldn't fire theirs". I respectfully nodded and said "Oh that's interesting". He's a good guy just got misinformed somewhere.

    New .308 Build Advice

    Actually the Rainier Select barrels are not Shilen made, but BHW. The rifling is 5 groove polygonal, which is also a BHW trait. FWIW, I tried 2 of the Select barrels on my 308 build, the first was wildly inaccurate, the second better but not good enough. The third barrel is the Ultramatch...

    Alternative Armalite mags to .300 RSAUM???

    I can't be much help finding Armalite mags, but I do have a DPMS 300 saum. It came with 2 mags, one works well and one doesn't. They both hold 4 rounds, which seems to be the limit in that platform. I tried modifying one to hold 5 rounds by cutting 1/2" off the legs of the follower. All this...

    .308 Hand load issue, stovepipes

    FWIW the Magtech ball ammo short stroked my 308 also, that stuff is really loaded light. I wouldn't match my reloads to that cheap ammo.

    MEGA w/ ultra match WTF?

    I've been reading this thread with interest as I also have a 20" Rainier UM rifle built with a DPMS smooth side upper and carbon fiber ff tube. Sweet light weight rifle that runs like a top, but it is fickle afa what it likes. I couldn't find anything except 110 gr vmax loads with H4895 that...

    .308 Hand load issue, stovepipes

    I have had that issue with 2 dpms rifles, though neither was a 308. The first was a 300 Saum, I would get a stovepipe once in a while with my loads using rl17. Once I switched to H4350 no more problems. The other is my 243. It also runs perfectly with H4350, while the same bullets over 4064...
