    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    For those saying "meh" and "not that good", what you are seeing is the skill level of the shooter shooting a rifle without enough rounds through the barrel. (No offense to jb326). The fact that the rifle has produced sub-minute groups with a new barrel means that the rifle can do this...

    Rifle Scopes MOA Ranging Reticle Idea

    That's an excellent idea. I'm an MOA/IPHY shooter...i would love this sort of MOA-based reticle on my hunting rigs...if my battery goes dead on my rangefinder, or i forget to bring it, or loose it, i'm not SOL when that trophy shows up at an UKD.

    Average weight of a complete 308AR with scope ?

    Can you provide us with pictures or a description of your build? You can buy 308s as light as 7.25lbs or as heavy as 11.2lbs empty.

    Poor accuracy from my recent build (Kreiger barrel)

    Sterling Shooter is correct...as always. I'm not convinced the issue doesn't lie with the shooter or his loads. If you look at the loads he put up, the POI is consistent, meaning (no scope, mount, or rifle issue!!!) It boils down to two(2) things: 1. Shooter 2. Load. I'll also point out...

    That's a sexy rifle steppennwolf! Can you also post pictures of groups you've shot? Have you had a chance to develop loads for her?

    Poor accuracy from my recent build (Kreiger barrel)

    OP, Your approach is all wrong. Your problem is clear as day...you've done no serious load development and expect a load that happens to shoot well in one rifle to shoot well in your other rifle. Seldom does a single load do well in ALL rifles. You need to find a load that works in YOUR...

    Hunting & Fishing Using a 308 AR for elk, deer, speed goats, etc, this year

    skg_Mre_Lght, Nice to see someone else is also rocking a 20" 308AR for a hunting rig. Your last build needs a new/different stock...an ace skeleton stock, new Magpul Rifle length, or oldie but goodie A2 stock. That'll help you loose about at least 0.5lbs from the rear. I picked up another...

    .308 Bullet and powder selection for 18" barrel

    stang_j_99, No, the rules of thumb above only applies to older bullet designs (168s/175/178s). The berger hybrid is in a different class. It has a higher BC than the 175SMK, and can be launched faster.

    Alliant AR-Comp vs 2000-MR. Test Results

    Bach, Yes, your experience is identical to mine except the barnes TTSX. The barnes bullets will have completely different load info due to the fact that they are made of copper alloys and thus longer than standard lead bullets for a given bullet weight. That means they have a longer bearing...

    Alliant AR-Comp vs 2000-MR. Test Results

    Bach, I forgot to add something i've noticed with Alliant's load data: 1. They are actually accuracy nodes, and not at all max pressure loads despite the obligatory legalese prior to entering their reloading guide. 2. I've been able safely to push 0.5-1.5gr above the published loads in almost...

    Bach, What have you noticed for 175gr bullets?

    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...
