    308 semi auto load ranges

    I'm trying a bunch of different loads to see what works best in my 20" JP LRP and need some guidance. I tried 175smk with military brass and it didn't do well. I will try to do 175smk in FGMM brass (I have hundreds from shooting factory loads in it) I need some load ranges to do an OCW for the...

    Ax308 load too hot?

    It should be .01" not .02". It's all measured using the Hornady oal gauge and loosely verified with a sharpy marker and closing the bolt on a complete round. Anyways, I will check the actual COAL when I'm home, but it fits into the magazine no problem.

    Ax308 load too hot?

    So just started load development on my ax with brand new 308 barrel. Hands down easiest load development yet every charge between 43 and 45.4 other than 1, grouped at .5" or better with clusters before and after grouping in the same poi. Anyways, a nice big node is between 44.5 and 45.4 (...

    Bore guides...

    Are guys really damaging throats, crowns and bores from the brass jag or COATED rod? Brass is much softer than the steel, which is why you use it in the first place, and the rod is coated specifically so it doesn't damage anything?

    LRP-07 inconsistent accuracy

    Sorry for the lack of update guys. I didn't want to update till I got everything in check, and I've been busy lately. Here's what I got so far. The rifle groups 175fgmm consistently in around 3/4" which is great in my eyes for factory ammo out of a semi. As far as reloads go, I've tried...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    What size Dewey rod are you guys using? I tried to slowly put a 308 one through and it goes in without a problem, even though 308 is bigger than 243. Should I use the 308 or 22 Cal one? They are both coated rods.

    Cleaning a muzzle brake ?

    I think most the methods will ruin the finish. But if you shoot it enough, it will almost always be black anyways, from the carbon ;)

    Cleaning a muzzle brake ?

    Use the open 'neck' of a brass case like the 45acp or a brass scraper to scrape off any cake. Then if you want it more clean, just use any carbon cleaner and a rag. Yours is far from bad though!

    Rifle Scopes What Leupold turrets are these?

    Anyone have any idea where I can buy a regular 1/4 moa knob to put on it? I doubt this scope is gonna sell on the classifieds with a 'custom' turret.

    Rifle Scopes What Leupold turrets are these?

    Ok, so I can get a standard know and just replace it? It's just the turret cover and none of the 'insides' the are messed with right?

    Oh man, I thought I posted the pics but obviously I did not. Can't always expect technology to work right the first time around! No way you guys can figure it out without them haha. Here it is

    Rifle Scopes What Leupold turrets are these?

    So I have a mark 4 4.5-14x50 with duplex reticle that I received with a used rifle I purchased. Fairly positive it is this one: Leupold Optics Mark 4 LR/T 4.5-14x50mm (30mm) M1 - | Leupold Optics The only thing is I don't recognize the turrets. Obviously it looks like bdc turrets, but I have...

    Suppressors Thunderbeast Suppressor Blew Up?

    I don't know why some of you guys are getting so worked up. It's obviously an issue and the owner is trying to make things as right as possible. I would totally understand the ruckus if the company tried to deny anything (like most companies do these days). I'm sure there was no 'malicious...

    Building a 338lm on a savage

    The magnum long actions are beefier. I dont have scientific data on this, but I've got a 110ba and I've got a savage 10 and the 110 definitely feels beefier in all regards. Maybe someone will chime in and give you an official Yay or nay, but I doubt it. I'm just wondering what your trying to...

    Suppressors Sub sonic .308 load

    I run a TBAC 338BA suppressor on my 24" savage. My load is 208 AMAX in winchestester brass with 12.4gr of trailboss and 215m primers. EVERY single time I shoot it at the range it gets attention. People cant believe what caliber the rifle is because of how quite it is. You can barely hear...
