.308

OOPS, my mistake.

Looking for pros & cons between the LMT LM8 Slick and the Standard MWS. I have owned a number of LMT products, (Standard Patrol, MRP CQB - both piston & DI, MRP Rifle Length and a standard MWS). Sold my original MWS Gen 1, due to necessity and planned on replacing it at some point. That time...

I am looking for a slightly used BDL bottom metal for a short action. I know a lot of guys are going with the detachaible mag bottoms....so i amhoping someone has one to unload. I am trying to piece together an extra hunting rifle for my kids. Willing to pay, but not retail.....thanks.

I am having problems ejecting one particular brand of ammo out of my action. Once the shells have been fired and I release the bolt and try and disengage the bolt and eject the bolt is stuck in the forward position. I can cycle unspent/loaded shells through the action flawlessly meaning that my...

Remington 700 SPS Varmint .308 I bought this Remington 700 earlier this year and its intended use was for target shooting. After reading the boards for awhile I decided the first thing to do was change the stock. The factory stock is cheap and hurts accuracy. I replaced it with a Bell and...

Trying decide what is best for overall long range/tactical/target shooting posts pics of your 6.5 if you can P.S. not a real navy seal

Thought I'd share a video and picture of my furthest consistent hits to date. Shooting as the sun went down over the Nevada desert with an elevation was 5100 ft. 770 Yds to a 12" gong from a 20" barreled R700 SPS-T. Hand-loads using pulled 175 gr SMK picked up from a member on the Hide. I...

I was at the range today with my .308 and noticed my grouos getting larger and had more and more flyers as my barrel got hot to the point you could barely touch it. I know it prob effects accuracy as it cooled a little but was still hot and i grouped 4 shots on the bullseye then the flyers...

I have a savage 10 .308 with a 1:10 twist. My local shop got stacks of federal gold medal 168 gr and 175 gr sierra matchking ammo in and i went ahead and invested in the 175gr cause i had shot some other 175 s and was already zeroed for them but are the 168's more accurate closer range. I heard...

Hi i know a fair bit from research but there are some things im unclear on. im looking at a lee deluxe set to reload ammunition for a bolt action remmy. (single stage press) im not interested in peoples opinion on the make, im putting a set up on a budget so please no just stating hornady or...

Hi all, I purchased an SPS Tactical with a 20" 1 in 12 twist a few months ago and while I love the gun so far it seems like every internet forum is completely swayed to the AAC-SD with the 1 in 10 twist. When I purchased it, I was under the impression that the 1 in 12 was the better of the...

I just bought a DPMS AP4.308 and its my first .308...but not my first AR. I am a newbie to LR shooting but very interested in it. So I have a few questions for you guys? 1.What's up with these crap metal mags they come with that don't feed for SH*T??? 2.My rifle has a collapsable stock and I...

Optics: Im trying to decide whether to keep my Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5-10x40mm Long Range / Tactical M5 Matte Front Focal Reticle, or my Nightforce 5.5 - 22x50 NXS. is a 50 mm bell overkill for this rifle? i also really do like the caps on the Leupold but they came with it. Nightforce, as you...

I purchaced a vortex 6.5-20x44 the other dayfor my .308 elr endeavors, because it seemed like a good value. No real complaints here. I did a quick sight in to see how much adjustment I had left, and now am looking for a canted base. This scope only has 64ish minutes of max internal adjustment...

Well I looked all over the net for this but couldn't find it so I decided to be the first! So, I've only attempted at 100yds so far... But the poi of both loads is the same at that range. I have the drop chart taped to my stock (of each load, FGMM 168 and 175) out to 900 yds. At 900, the poi...

Just picked me up a box of these bergers for some long range shooting and am having trouble finding load data for them. Anyone have a recipe and the resulting speed? For reference I have a 24 inch 1/10 twist barrel and typically use IMR 4895 powder. Im not stuck on it, but in these times, Id...

Hey guys. Just joined up so excuse me if this topic has been covered. I am looking to push a .308 out to 1 mile. Thats right, the whole 1760 yards. Obviously the main challenge with this is passing through the transonic barrier. Does anyone know of a few bullets that dont destabilize way out...

Just got my first long range (.308) rifle. I have a Model 12 in .223 with a B&C Medalist stock. i plan to do a Hunting/Tactical stock later to replace the factory stock thats horrible. Im new to the caliber and having a long reach rifle to any long range shooting tips is welcome. Let me know...

I have a GAP .308 which will not take any old ammo, so I am looking for some good quality ammo, properly sized, at a non-gouger price. Sadly I cannot reload at this time. I am ordering from SouthWest both new and reloads but wanted to try some other makes as I decide what this rifle likes...
