    DPMS GII built up or DPMS LR-308 build?

    I am wanting to get an AR type in .308 WIN and having a hard time deciding how to go about it. I like the idea of the GII of being lighter by a bit and having some more compatability.

    Favorite powder/loads for .308 18" 1/10 auto?

    I'm hoping to draw on the experience of members who have walked the same path I'm going without repeating everyone else's mistakes. Lazy me. I haven't reloaded for a number of years but am getting back into it now that I have access to a longer range. I used to reload extensively but primarily...

    PRS .22 Trainer converted from airsoft chassis

    I wanted a .22 trainer to practice position shooting but without the cost of burning up my 300wm barrel and ammo. However I could not find anything that was similar to the chassis system I run on my rifle for a .22. I was browsing the internet and stumbled onto an airsoft rifle, a licensed copy...
