    AR15 SPR Muzzle Device Choices

    Flyer hit the nail on the head. Just get a cheap A2 and save for a suppressor.

    Conflicting load data for 308win?

    308pirate is right on the money. I said I'm working up loads I just want to choose a few powders that are likely to give the best velocity from a 16in AR10 with the two projectiles listed above (150gr & 155gr). I still intend to ladder test and find a node, I just want to choose powders that...

    Conflicting load data for 308win?

    That is correct, I have a superlative arms adjustable gas block, and can run suppressed or unsuppressed. So I'm not worried about port pressure or brass much. Which of those powders does Lyman say gets them going fastest?

    Conflicting load data for 308win?

    Looking to optimize two loads for velocity above all else in a 16in AR10: Hornady 150gr Interlocks, and Sierra 155gr Matchkings. Not worried about temp sensitivity in this application. Using Lapua brass and CCI BR2s, but I'm stuck on the powders to test. I've check several reloading manuals...

    Precision Reloading Setup From Scratch.

    For the powder measure, would the aforementioned drops do other ball powders equally well like CFE 223 and PP2000MR? And for the press, I think I've committed to the Forster Co-Ax, I really like the priming function on that press for my purposes. Interesting about the MEC Marksman though...

    Precision Reloading Setup From Scratch.

    Ran across some very interesting data on measuring powder. Derek Love of Match Grade Precision made a video for PRN you can watch here. In it they compare a Harrell's drop measure, Hornady Automaster, RCBS Chargemaster, an Autotrickler + lab scale, and a Prometheus. You can watch the video for...

    Precision Reloading Setup From Scratch.

    Thanks for all the advice so far, a lot of interesting information and of course more decision to make than ever! Unsurprisingly, I have some followup questions, but first I just wanted to clarify my goals. I intend to produce two very similar types of ammunition for my AR10s. One set of the...

    Precision Reloading Setup From Scratch.

    Finally have it in the budget to step up from my Lee hand press in a big way. I'd like to start reloading small batches of the best precision and hunting ammunition my budget will allow for my two .308 AR10s (one 16in, one 20in). Said budget is about $1500 for just the reloading equipment...

    Powder for 16” 308

    If you are still wanting to chase a little more velocity you may want to check out CFE223 and Power Pro 2000-MR. Both are a bit more temp sensitive but are likely to yield higher velocities than just about anything else in .308.

    Salt Bath Annealing

    Is there any reason not to use salt bath annealing? Seems like a much cheaper and easier way to do it than many of the high end tools and gizmos out there now that use propane.

    Fast and Slow barrels?

    Yeah I'm not out there looking for the fastest barrel, I just wanted to make sure I understood why barrels end up like this. And I just thought it was interesting looking at the velocities some folks were getting and thinking "wait, that custom 18in is getting more velocity than a factory...

    Fast and Slow barrels?

    Sorry if this is answered somewhere, I've searched but cannot find anything definitive. There are fast and slow barrels, which is to say there are barrels that given the exact same length and load, can yield significantly different velocities on average. In other words, you can have one barrel...

    Case trimmers

    Is the Giraud Tri Way trimmer (screw gun attachment version) just as precise as their standard plug in the wall power trimmer? Seems like if you already have a screw gun you could save a lot of $$$ and go with the Tri Way if it is equally precise.

    Lightweight 2A Arms Xanthos 6.5 CM Build

    Earnhardt those are some damn good results. You say you noticed you can shift POI by really loading the bipod. About how much would you say you have to load it to really notice a difference in POI? Would you ever load it that much under field conditions is basically what I'm curious about...

    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    Excellent replies so far folks, thanks. Still hoping more people will actually get out there and do some testing, and maybe post pics. That would really lend some more credibility to these claims. Quick side note, what are people's thoughts on lightweight uppers? Surely going in the...

    Lightweight 2A Arms Xanthos 6.5 CM Build

    I'm curious if anyone ITT has completed accuracy testing? Something in the 5 shot+ group range? I ask because I was/am considering a very similar lightweight .308 build with the 2A Xanthos set, but I'm a little worried after seeing the responses here. Granted they are discussing AR15s, but it...

    Has the Seekins upper come back yet?

    Accuracy and Upper Receivers.

    natdscott I was hoping highpower folks would show up, because you do this all the time. This thread isn't about upper/lower flex, but about handguard putting pressure on upper at the threads which changes POI of barrel. The video and posts in the OP go into greater detail on this. As you say...
