    Help choosing bullet for 16.5" 308 @ 1000 yards

    I shoot F-class regularly and shoot 1,000yards with semi-autos...M1A, 20" 308, and AR-15 service rifle (A2 config; 600yards only). Firstly, you'll discover that 16" 308 + 1,000yards is a good combo only on the internet...There is a reason guys that shoot this regularly do so with 30-32"...

    Ultrasonic cleaners. Worth the money and how to use them?

    Monmouth, If you read my post, i clearly indicated that i have no experience with SS tumbling. While it may be equal to or superior to UT cleaning, it has a major disadvantage compared to UT; You can't/don't want to clean your firearm/firearm components in a SS tumbler. That alone was huge...

    Ultrasonic cleaners. Worth the money and how to use them?

    I have both. A lyman 2500 & lyman 6000 Turbosonic & Hornady small Ultrasonic unit. Do not buy a small ultrasonic unit. They are not worth the money. They do not come with heaters (hot water is essential for cleaning) and the time settings dont run long enough, so u constantly have to keep...

    Reloading for AR-10 advice needed

    HAZORD, I did not read through all the replies you've gotten thus far, but I will give you my take. 1. I load for an M1A (Custom Supermatch) and two "AR-10s" (DPMS 308s) and shoot competitively with both. 2. Contrary to popular beliefs, both platforms can and do handle full power loads well...

    School me on the 243 AR

    Gadgetguy1288, I to love the 243 round...also the first rifle caliber i bought. Flat shooting, light recoil, and very accurate. It seems that you are familiar with the two main large frame AR platforms (DPMS/SR-25) and Armalite. Good. Not much to say about that other than check gunbroker...

    185gr Berger VLD in .308 Win Load?

    FWIW, the US Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) long range (1,000yards) load is 185berger +45gr Varget in a 20" semi-auto 308 (M110). I found a place with some Berger bullets in stock (12 piece test samples) and will try to get the MV of this load. This round is loaded long for single fire...

    Short report on H4895 in 308 LC brass shooting 150s.

    JGorski, it's crazy how coincidental the accuracy node of this powder is to AR-Comp with 150s i got good groups at 43.5gr and at 44.7 per my notes. This was out of a 20" 1:10 twist LR-308. Sorry for teh diversion in topic, but w powder scarcity, it's good to have alternatives w known...

    2650fps fossible with a 175gr in 18" .308?

    broylz, You cannot cheat physics...short barrels suck if you are looking for velocity and range. I know its all tacticool to make a rifle as compact as a pistol, but as long as you understand that you are sacrificing range to look cool, then it's ok. That aside, the answer to your question is...

    178 gr Amax for hunting??

    The 178amax is my go-to hunting bullet. I've dropped red deer, hogs and white tail with them. I also shot 168 AMAX at a sheep...quatering away shot, went in in front of the hind leg and stopped inside the ram on opposite front leg, just below the skin...perfect muchroom. Sheep fell over...

    Off the shelf .30-06 Precision Rifle? Where and Which one?

    Lash, There is nothing wrong with shooting a .30-06 in competition. There's a fellow by the name of German Salazaar, a world champion that competes with a 30-06 and is a foremost expert on shooting the 06. His website is here The Rifleman's Journal: Articles Index The barrel should be...

    Berger is making more bullets

    Yeah, well, Berger needs to do something about their pricing... They make great products that only a few shooter can afford to shoot exclusively. Because of that they have a relatively small share of the market...they r ripe for a hostile takeover.

    Hunting & Fishing Do I really need a .300 Win Mag or will .30-06 be fine?

    30-06. Ditto to what previous posters have said about shot placement...it's more important than caliber. The next thing you want to research is the minimum velocity at which the bullet expands. That is more important than "energy of the bullet at XXX yards". Bullets like TTSX require a...
