    Badger Ordnance M2008 Gen 2

    I have one. Haven't had the chance to do some real shooting with it yet, but will say I like the 60degree bolt throw. They are heavy that's for sure. As Cav said the bolt lift is a bit heavier then others but I it should become somewhat lighter with use.

    You'll never believe this.

    Sounds like what I did today. Went to a local shop just to see if they had anything at all. Bought the last 2 boxes of Hornady 162gr 7mm Amax and the last 2 pounds of H380 they had.

    I'm in the same boat. Dropped of the parts end of Jan. Was told 4-5 months. They started my build yesterday. Just need to drop off a dummy round for them to check the throat depth.

    Suppressors Encore suppressed

    I recently picked up a Encore pistol frame. I am wanting to order a barrel specifically for subsonics, and wanted to do one in .308 because dont want to need new reloading stuff. Would a 8" 1-8 twist for heavier bullets be unreasonable? Or would I just be better off going the 300BLK route?

    Best overall SA 308 bolt face competition caliber?

    Re: Best overall SA 308 bolt face competition caliber? I dont shoot matches that often, but im currently building a 7-08. I picked it due to the barrel life, the fact that I also have a butt ton of 308 brass, and from the research I did for load data. I have seen many postings of 2700ish with...

    .308 to 7mm-08 annealing

    Re: .308 to 7mm-08 annealing Good info. I will be resizing m118lr brass down to the 7mm08 so the neck will probably be fairly thick. I however dont have the rifle built yet so I still have time to square away my reloading needs before i have anything to shoot.

    .308 to 7mm-08 annealing

    I did a search but did not find anything pertaining to my question. I will be resizing. 308win brass to 7mm-08. Would annealing be advised? I pretty sure it wouldn't hurt anything to anneal but if I'm going to anneal I need the equipment. Thanks, beans.

    7mm-08 COAL options

    Re: 7mm-08 COAL options Ok thanks! I asked the smith his opinion and he said he didn't have experience with handloading for 7mm-08. So I came here to get some opinions. ETA - the mags will still be used on my .308 so not looking to modify them.

    7mm-08 COAL options

    Ok, so I am having a new rifle built in 7mm-08. It will be in a Badger M2008 action. Im trying to decide on the load length I will use and have the chamber cut for. Wanting to stay in mag length with a 162gr amax for .308 AICS mags, which I measured out to 2.900" total internal length for a 5...

    Suppressors 17 HMR Suppressor

    Re: 17 HMR Suppressor The main issue with 22lr through a sealed can is the bullets being lead will have some of that lead be melted off and deposited in the suppressor. 17hmr uses jacketed bullets so that should not be a problem. As far as baffle design it has mostly to do with pressure at...

    Bullet choice for 16" 308?

    My rifle is a rem700 sps tac based setup cut down to 16". Im wondering what bullet weight would be a better choice for still getting to 1000 yards. Either 175s or 155s. Im not concerned with transonic issues. Just want to know which would be more viable for this setup. Beans
