    AR Fixed front site. Can this be fixed?

    I'm honestly not at all sure how this happened. I haven't taken the 14.5 out and shot it in a very long time. It's been in my room in my storm case or on my desk resting on my gun vise. Going to have a talk with my younger brother. Is there a replacement piece for this part of the site, or am i...

    .308 COL 2.010 safe to load? or time to trim?

    Bout to go reload as much as i can today and while i have 50 pieces of brass that have only been fired once, i have another 50 that i want to reload that have been fired twice. Majority of the cases are @ 2.010, max length is 2.015 but at just five thousandths shorter than max length would it be...

    DD Torture test.

    SheepDog, this is for you;) https://danieldefense.com/TortureTest Take that piston rifles lol /JK But the gun holds up and surprisingly the aimpoint retains zero all the way until they drop it from the chopper, which makes me feel pretty good about getting a Micro T-1

    Soutwest Ammunition's 77gr Run N Gun Range report

    I'm pleased with it considering how i was shooting today. I haven't chronoed any yet, that will come when i get my Leupold mk4 M2. But I haven't shot in a month and it shows my mental game went haywire, heart rate sky rocketed, and i was shaking. After an hour or so i finally calmed down and...

    6XC barrel life vs .243?

    I'm just thinking a 18.5" or 20" build in a 6XC or .243 or maybe even a 6x47L in the future, and the barrel life of a .243 is around what 2000-3000rds? The 6XC supposedly can be push the 105-107gr bullets around .243 speeds. It also has about 7gr less powder capacity than the .243. Any ideas...

    Little nit picky question.

    Alright just loaded up 25 .308 berger 175gr and about half of them are a OAL of 2.799 or a little below and some are 2.800 or a little above like i want. Using a comparator 90% of them are 3.134, some a little longer. Will a thousandths of an inch difference in length change anything? Accuracy...

    Alliant 2000-MR

    I didn't know if SB shooter is a member of the TFL, but he posted this on snipers hide and i figured i'd share it with everyone. It's pretty damn impressive. A 185gr Berger BT LR @ 2700 is super sonic out to 1200yds, it's like giving a whole new lifeline to the .308. I'm excited, imagine 2000-MR...

    Range report Berger 175gr BT LRs (.308)

    Here are the groups from today. Velocities were consistent groups were ok i'm not entirely pleased with them. Loaded 43gr- 45gr of varget in 1/2 gr increments. Groups seemed to start tightening up as i went up. I screwed up on 44 1/2 just got jumpy wasn't holding steady. Would more than likely...

    BC related findings.

    I've been fiddling around with loads on JBM just to see which would give what drop. I'm was looking up the G1 & G7 BCs of each bullet. Using the G7. I was comparing the 155gr scenar to some berger bullets. Here's the weird part. According to midwayusa.com the G1 BC of the 155gr scenar is...

    What priming tool do you prefer?

    I've been using a handheld at a friends place when i go reload. But for my setup i was looking at the RCBS ram prime or maybe even get the RCBS priming stage. Just to get better consistency in primer seating depth.

    Bullet selection for 600yds F class .308

    Well i went and talked to my local gunsmith today who shoots F class and is going to let me shoot his 6mm Dasher. He wants me to get my .308 ready which i will. But he recommended that i ditch the 155gr lapua scenars all together and go with a 168gr SMK for 600yd. :confused: So i type in the...

    Couple of reloading related questions.

    I finally got around to chronographing my .308. I was using a Chrony F1 on a cloudy day. For the most part my loads were in the 2880s 2890s, but i had 2 jump to 2924 and 2948. So i figured i should tighten my tolerances up. Is doing nit picky things like metplat trimming, and measuring the...

    Why i love my 700 5R

    13 shots overall 2 to sight it in 2 flyers 9 in the one big hole. Although i was abit disappointed in me throwing 2 and the fact i had some loads jump up to 2920+ when the average was around 288-. Second picture is that little piece of paper folded back. I know people shoot group like these all...

    Bravo Company MK12 Mod 1 upper came in!

    I feel like a little kid lol, i'm excited as hell. Can't wait to shoot it just i don't have any sights and the rings i ordered for the 2-7x36mm scope i have laying around were way too low. So i sit and wait patiently :(. Here it is, on my BCM4 lower that i have for my 14.5, will be building a...

    Leupold mark 4 M2 questions.

    I'm in the process of ordering my SPR and scope. I had settled on the M3 found one with a good price. And now i'm thinking i might want M2 knobs. I know the M2 knobs are 1/2 MOA both windage and elevation. But i read that the M2 knobs only have one revolution turn in them, like the M3. Which...

    6.5 Super LR

    http://www.6mmar.com/65_SuperLR.php Just found my next rifle chambering for my next LR rifle in the next years. Hopefully it gains some popularity. Basically a .260 with a 30 degree shoulder and an elongated neck for advantage in seating depth. It seems to have the best feature of every 6.5...

    Vltor's Lower receiver.

    http://militarytimes.com/blogs/gearscout/2011/02/24/vltor-lower-receiver/ Definitely will be trying to find a stripped lower for my SPR upper if it's not pricey. I wouldn't think it would be too pricey they're upper is priced very well. Oversized mag release along with QD mounting plate is...

    Breathing & trigger pull.

    Thought came to mind and I am wondering how everyone does everything. For instance i've always been taught by my father and my reloading mentor to decrease your heart rate, take a deep breath, slowly exhale while squeezing the trigger. I see different shooting shows and have friends that do...

    155gr Scenar load data

    Wanting to know what everyone's accurate loads were with 155gr lapua scenars? So far i've shot varget 46-48 moving up in .5 increments. 2.800 OAL, Nosler custom brass, winchester magnum rifle primers. Idk why we used the magnum primers on this load, i guess because i have 3 boxes and my mentor...
