    .30-06 as a precision rifle ?

    Love the 30-06! Picked up two rifles this year chambered in the '06...one is an AR-based 30-06 (BN-36) and the other a savage model 112 BVSS. One rifle (the AR) will serve as my hunting rifle while the bolt gun will serve as my precision rig for NRA Long range matches (Fired prone at...

    My 6x6.8 build.

    5Spd, What you just described sounds like something my gunsmith is trying to buuild a market around for highpower shooters. Its called 240 tomahawk...check out his website for loads he has developed...might save you a ton of time and money. I will build something like that in a year or two...

    M&P 10 Considerations...or maybe a bolt gun

    Ash, Leaving ur reasoning aside for a bit, could you please tell us why u think you can't do everything you want to with your 30-06 rifle? It will have better ballistics than a .308 anything, it will be lighter than a 308AR, more accurate than a 308AR, arguably more reliable, etc. If you...

    Anybody load .308 with AR COMP in a 20" barrel?

    I shoot AR-Comp from a 1-10 20" barrel DPMS LR-308. My accuracy load is 40.6-40.8gr (I usually load 40.7gr) behind 175gr SMK. I also shot 41.4gr AR-comp behind 175gr SMK through my Supermatch M1A @ 600yards, and shot my highest string (98-2x) in tricky wind conditions. Those would be...

    my search of the app store under "reloading" does not yield any manuals. Did Hogdon discover and change their app? What is the app called?

    Best powder for 80gr 223 in 1-8 twist 24"

    Do yourself a favor and try AR-Comp Powder. If you have a true Wilson Chamber barrel, 80gr SMK 24.0gr AR-Comp LC Brass Tula SRMP 2.46" OAL That load shoots very well out to 600yards in my RRA NM 20" Service Rifle. Accurate, brass is on 5th firing, and primer pockets are still nice and tight...

    Anyone else find AR-Comp pretty dirty?

    We have the same barrel specs. Just realized i never shot my service rifle with 2000MR. I shot it with Varget (24.7gr + 77SMK) and 23.5gr AR-comp +77SMK. Never got velocity data with the Varget powder.

    Howdy Elfster. Sorry for being absent. I was at Camp Perry Ohio for the national matches for 10days (Shot like crap...equipment issues & bad case of nerves). Glad to see my suggestions is working out for you. Unfortunately, i don't have an answer for your loads that are biased to the...

    Anyone else find AR-Comp pretty dirty?

    Kombayotch, Thanks for your feedback. A couple of more questions: 1. What is the barrel length and twist rate of your Krieger? 2. I don't crimp my loads. What is your node without crimp? Thanks again for your responses.

    Anyone else find AR-Comp pretty dirty?

    Kombyatoch, I've used AR-comp for a complete highpower season, and find it quite a bit dirty. Substantially dirtier than the powder it replaced (2000MR). I find that i cant run more than say 300 rounds before the dirt and grim lead to failures. Accuracy has been excellent however. Question...

    Join me on my EPIC AR accuracy journey! From reloading to bullet hole @600yards! WITH PICS

    Elfster, Firstly, outstanding shooting, given the wind conditions. Secondly, i notice some vertical stringing in your groups...they can be from one of two things; position/fundamentals or load with high ES (extreme spread in muzzle velocity). Can you give us a sense of how big the vertical...

    Elfster, Please understand that I'm not trying to change your philosophy, just giving you something to think about if you decide to start shooting competitively. First off, I use ARs for all my competitive shooting. The comment i made about shooting within 1.2gr of the published max loads...

    Join me on my EPIC AR accuracy journey! From reloading to bullet hole @600yards! WITH PICS

    Elfster, I've noticed that your Varget loads are frequently below Hogdon's recommended starting loads for the bullets you are shooting. Sierra (and other bullet manufacturers) frequently lists loads below powder manufacturer's recommendation for liability reasons. Have you tried pushing up to...

    Why a bolt gun?

    graham, You seem to be holding back...why don't you let em have it? Your statements indicate that they are used because, well, they are in the inventory. All these statements regarding absolute accuracy, relative reliability etc seem academic.
