    Breaking in a new AR...Need AMMO

    Re: Breaking in a new AR...Need AMMO BTW, Someone had sent me some links to a thread on a rifle that was setup nearly identical to mine. He tested over 60 different factory loads and posted his results. I thought this was very interesting and that it could help me set a benchmark for my...

    Breaking in a new AR...Need AMMO

    Re: Breaking in a new AR...Need AMMO Thank you all for your input. Well I am always leery of ammo that one can find at a Gun Show. But I could not resist temptation when Bitterroot Valley Ammunition had ammo at $9 per box of 20. So I picked up some 69 gr Match HPBT, 75 gr Tactical, and 55 gr...

    Breaking in a new AR...Need AMMO

    Re: Breaking in a new AR...Need AMMO Greg, Point well taken. I have heard both viewpoints...some believe a barrel should be "broke in"...others feel that the barrel is ready to go right from the 1st shot. I know there are some serious shooters on this forum and that is why I came here. I...

    Re: HELP with selecting Duty Ammo! Kraig, No disrespect sir, but that isn't one of the choices. I imagine a guy like you could use a pellet gun to do the job under the right circumstances .

    HELP with selecting Duty Ammo!

    Re: HELP with selecting Duty Ammo! Knight... Good point, I probably should not even have listed the Penetrator round for that reason...overpenetration is always a concern...I just happened to copy down the list of what was available.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Suggestion for AR

    Re: Scope Suggestion for AR I think I am leaning toward the Vortex. Is the mil-dot reticle as fine as the plex reticle? Either way, sounds like both are finer than the BDC.
