    .260 powder sugestions

    Just because I have been referring to it as the wrong part for 3 days now does not mean I know what I am talking about. Hate it when that happens, ya you are right, ejector marks. Been so focused on finding a good flat spot and low SD and ES that I did not even notice..

    .260 powder sugestions

    I am loading the 143g ELD-X over H4831sc. The local guys say I should be getting over 2750 fps out of that bullet, but I am not sure I am going to get there. The rifle is a Tikka T3 with a 22" barrel Chrono is a Magnetospeed sporter. Here is what I am getting so far. 1st node is pretty low at...

    New DPMS G II Recon it is 308

    I have been in search of a good load for this rifle ever since I got it home. I have primarily used Lake City brass. Powders I have tried are IMR 4064, Varget and surplus H335. Bullets I have tried. SMK 175 grains Hornady 168 grains 150 grain soft points and FMJ. I used Varget with the...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    So I had my first run in with DPMS customer service a few weeks ago. I am still in search of the "Load" for my GII Recon. So I decided to try some 150g Hornady soft points over some BLC-2 that I picked up a year or two ago. The only data I had at had with that bullet and powder combo was...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles My recon likes the 175 SMK's the best with IMR 4064. I could not get WC-844 to work with any thing other than 150's. I may just leave the WC for my 223.

    What is the largest common caliber am AR 15

    What about bolts and magazines? That was a good point to bring up. Isn't the whole point of a 18" or longer tube to get you better ballistics out past 500 yards? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is the largest common caliber am AR 15

    I think my goal would be to pick up a standard AR 15 lower and then buy a upper, unless I find some factory built that suits my needs. I am thinking some thing in the 18"-20" range and larger than 22 caliber that is capable of reliably taking Mule Deer sized game when shot by a youth. Sent...

    Can be chambered in? And I don't want to have to form or otherwise make my brass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles I was finally able to make it back out and try some more test loads. The circled group is the best I was able to get with 150 grain Hornady SP over some BLC-2. The other group is IMR 4064 and some pulled 175 SMK's I those are 1/2 grain increments so I am not...

    Dpms G2 or old model?

    I have the Recon and fit and finish is pretty good, the trigger is pretty good. I am only about 200 rounds into this rifle, but so far every thing seems good. But it is a new rifle, so only time will tell Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    This is either going to be a good time or a real awful time to get a new DPMS SASS. DPMS just came out with the new GII version. So far the only major complaint I can find is it craters primers. I have the GII Recon and I have put about 200 rounds through it with zero issues other than the...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    I have been using Rem 9 1/2 magnums. Mine crater as well. I also noticed it on the majority of the Lake City brass I am decaping.

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Well I would like to post a pic of a target or run the 100 yard challenge but I am having one heck of a time developing a load that will give me better than a 2" group at a 100 yards. I am not sure if it is powder, primer, bullet, or all three. I am using WC-844,175g SMK and once fired LC...

    Hunting & Fishing Got drawn for Elk

    You could also down load the 300 if you really needed/ wanted to since you seem to be able to hand load. I found that a 165 and a 180 grain Hornady pill over a minimum charge of IMR7828SSC is very accurate and gives performance near 30/06 levels. Not very efficient given the size of case and...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    So far this rifle really seems to like 175 SMK's over about 41 ish grains of WC-844. I did a 7 shot group last night that was very promising. There were a couple of "flyers" but I am about 100% sure they were all me and my crappy shooing set up. My wife took my van to go visit her parents and...
