Re: 168gn load question
another question I figured I would post here instead of a new thread. Has or does anyone use any fine grain or spherical type powder? I have pulled a few bullets and the powder looked markedly different from the Varget I have been using. It was dark and very fine and...
Re: 168gn load question
I this Varget crunch you are talking about is what you feel when you seat the bullet and it crunches right? Is that a good thing or bad??
Re: 168gn load question
I am using new and fire formed Lapua brass. So I think beef hit it right, start at 41 and go to 45 in .5gn increments. That would give me 9 sets of 5 shots. ok time to get to work.lol
I don't have my book yet, could you guys peek and give me a good starting and finishing load for 308+Varget+168gn SMK HPBT? I was thinking start at 40gn and finish at 46gn working in .5gn increments, does this sound right?
Help a gal?

special thanks to reximus for the overnight FedEx of my rings so I could put my AIAX together.
Re: Does the AICS AX chassis take regular AI mags?
ok I see the barrel puts pressure on the spring locking the magazine in. I'm still trying to figure this thing out.lol
I just got my AX chassis in today and I didn't realize the scope rings are too low to clear the barrel and scope bell. I currently have a 700 SPS with a 20 MOA seekins base. A premier 5-25x56 my current rings are .92 lows. I'm hoping that 1" "high" rings will work what do you guys think?
Re: Sub MOA.223/556 semi autos
so these AR's are pretty much dedicated target rifles? heavy bull barrels no threads and flash hiders? So you could take a pretty much off the shelf RR or DPMS with the 1" bull bbl and print nice pretty groups?
Re: Sub MOA.223/556 semi autos
I have been using a leupold M4 4-14x40 so I figure the scope is "good enough". I always shoot at least a 69 grain SMK but will try up to 90 grain in some of my loads. I am looking to spend 1500 + or -
Re: Sub MOA.223/556 semi autos
does piston driven or DI have any bearing on accuracy? I may be touching on a sensitive subject here so I will tread lightly.
Re: Sub MOA.223/556 semi autos
that's kinda funny and maybe it's me but the only semi auto .223 rifle that I could get to shoot sub moa is an HK SL8-6. I have had several AR's and a few others. I have always shot "quality" ammo. ie Black Hills, FGMM, and handloads. I am no expert marksman...
Which off the shelf .223/556 rifles are capable of doing this? I have heard people talk of this or the salesman at the LGS blowing smoke but in reality which can achieve it?
