    Cheytac M200 Intervention

    It’s too bad EDM Arms is gone. I work in tool making and used to take material to heat treat. I saw crates of EDM Arms receivers there to get heat treated. Always wanted one of their .408s and .338s. I’m sure there are far better rifles for the money but damn they look cool.

    I shoot the 7.6 Creedmoor Plus. It’s too bad people don’t know about it.

    What does 6.5 do over 7.62?

    It’s not technology, it’s the ballistics you can achieve with the case capacity available. The 6.5 Creedmoor can push a bullet with a higher BC at a higher velocity than the .308 can.

    Another Useless Cartridge Idea

    It’s all good. I enjoy talking shit on the internet but not when it comes to something that can blow my face off. I started off with a factory SPS .30-06 but I picked up a Long Range with the 26” barrel. I doubt the 10” twist will work well for the 225s and 230s but I figured it was worth a...

    Another Useless Cartridge Idea

    Just asking questions, not trying to imply anything. Not too much info for really heavy .308 or .30-06 loads that I’ve seen. I’ve stocked up on 215s, 208s, 225s and 230s for my .30-06 but I just moved to a new house and don’t have my reloading bench set up yet. I’m wanting to see what powders...

    Are you using hybrid brass for the .308?

    Optimal rifle twist for .260 Remington with heavy bullets

    According to Berger, their 140 VLD would be marginally stable with the 8.5 twist. Their 130 VLD would be stable.

    Best AR manufactures

    The first AR lower I ever bought was a complete LMT Defender 2000 and was really nice. I’m disappointed to hear about their quality issues. I’ve been wanting a MARS H.

    M1 Garands

    Congrats on the citizenship. The M1 Garand and M1903A3 are two of my favorite rifles.

    Remington 700 Long Range

    Not if it you want a 26” heavy barrel .30-06.

    Another Useless Cartridge Idea

    Ok, but the 215 at 2725 is reasonable.

    Another Useless Cartridge Idea

    Why not just run a .30-06 at that point? Plenty of people are pushing the bullets you want at those velocities and you can get great brass.
