    New to AR-10 - NRA XTC shooter

    I've not heard of this. Have to give it a look. 600 isn't a big worry for me as of right now. I'm quite happy with the performance thus far, and other than refining my new position and dropping down my charge a bit (41.7 has proved to be a wee bit on the hot side), I don't plan on making any...

    Yessir. Scope stays on, bipod doesn't. I've been working on loading the 155's, haven't gotten them done nor will I have range time until early June.

    Okey dokey. So, I acquired some Nosler 155gr HPBT's for a mere $32. Figured that was a decent price, and 100 of them should be more than enough for me to be able to determine if I like them as well as try 2 or 3 different powder charges behind them. I figure, I'll load some Sierra 168's at...

    Thanks for all your input, gents. I will certainly look into those projectiles. You aren't the first to recommend the 155AMAX's. As far as my long line ammo goes, I'm not set on the 175's, they're just what I had. I'm by no means a Sierra Fan Boy, however they are our primary sponsor for the...

    Definitely still adapting my position to compensate for the change in rifles. The match rifle sling I purchased was a huge improvement in of itself. But still have to get the finer points figured out. I'm only classified as an Expert, but shoot 748-750 reliably. Nipping at Master's door. So...

    I don't mind reducing the charge. The 41.7 of 8208 is just the first load I found that worked and grouped well. Admittedly, I'm also still adjusting my positions for offhand and sitting. And fixing those first I'm sure will help. However, as I've stated, I've been advised by many to try lighter...

    New to AR-10 - NRA XTC shooter

    168's is what I was leaning toward as I know for sure a 1:10t will spin them fine. I just wandered when posting the thread if any other weights lower than 168 would work without causing adverse barrel wear. As for the gas block, I'm no gunsmith. And wouldn't know the first thing about...

    New to AR-10 - NRA XTC shooter

    I can keep my cadence and breathing pretty regularly even with the heavy 175's. I'm just looking to knock down the recoil and pressures a little bit for the shorter yard lines as I would with my service gun. I'm not only reducing bullet weight, but my powder charge as well. 41.7gr of 8208 is...

    Thank you. This isn't a rush issue. I have until July 24 for load testing and practice. I'll be leaving for Nationals up at Camp Perry by then.

    New to AR-10 - NRA XTC shooter

    Hi there. I'm seeking advice on my AR-10. I bought a Rock River LAR-8 Varmint A4 for NRA "Across the course" (XTC) shooting in the any rifle / any sight category. I'm a former NRA service rifle shooter, but due to a bad astigmatism in my right eye, I can barely hold the target at 600y with iron...
