    Plans change but this could be great!

    Yesterday, found out that a PSA AR10 is on sale, showed my wife and she automatically said yes and that we can order one this weekend. My original goal for this summer was doing a Savage 110 .308 with an MDT chassis. Price without optic would've been north of $1400. My wife was fine with it, but...

    Picking a new hunting round for my .308

    It’s about time for me to buy more hunting ammo so I decided to look at how some rounds might perform out of my rifle. I have a .308 with a 16in barrel so according to what I could find online, subtracting 250fps from the box velocity should be about the velocity out of my rifle. I would test...

    Anyone have experience using Controlled Chaos hunting bullets

    These controlled chaos bullets by Lehigh Defense seem to be like a copper version of the Nosler Partition. They hit hard shedding weight explosively at the beginning and then a solid base penetrates deeply. Below is a gel test of the 145gr one in .308. There is also a 152 and a 175gr version...

    Considering trading my AR-10 for a bolt gun (.308)

    I am considering trading my Savage MSR-10 .308 in for a nice used bolt action and wanted to see if anyone had advice here. The idea is if I had a medium priced bolt gun might have a more natural feel to it and shoot tighter groups, thus allowing me to take longer shots. My MSR-10 shoots about...

    Brass casing lodged in chamber. Extractor ring ripping off.

    I’m having a strange malfunction in my .308win AR10 I’ve never seen or experienced (been shooting the gun for years). The casing would get stuck so tight in the chamber the extractor on the bolt would rip the extractor ring off the brass case. I had to knock the casing out with a cleaning rod to...

    Reloading 7.62x39

    Hey all. I’m trying to reload some 7.62x39 and have a few questions. For starters, is it safe/effective to use .308 caliber bullets? I ordered some RCBS dies and noticed it was set up for .311 caliber bullets and the expander ball needed to be switched to .308. I’m planning on running them out...

    Lightweight MSR in .308

    I'm looking at buying a light MSR in .308. The models I'm looking at are the Roam R-10 Red River Ultralight, the POF Revolution DI and piston models. The Springfield Saint, the Tavor and the Scar 17. I would also consider the POF Rogue and the Barrett REC10 Carbine if I could find any. I did...

    Thinking of getting a .308 bolt action

    So with hunting season getting closer I have started thinking about maybe investing in a .308 bolt action. I do not have a .308 rifle currently. So this would give me a reason to add another caliber to my collection which makes me smile. I though about doing this last year as well but ended up...

    .308 reloading

    Hey everyone, I am wondering I should be concerned. Last few months ( yes my job takes most of my time) I have been just brass prepping. Tumbler, rinsed, ultrasonic cleaner, rinse. Pockets cleaned and uniformly cleaned, chamfered (hornady whitetail) length checked. I finally stopped...

    .308 bullet seated too deep. Still safe to shoot?

    Hey everybody, I just want to start by saying I’m new to reloading. I loaded some .308 last night using IMR4166 powder. I followed my reloading book and used 44gr of powder. I used Hornady 150gr FMJBT. I trimmed my classes to 2.005. my loading manual said to seat the bullet to 2.800. I started...

    New Powder: Reloder TS 15.5

    Savage Short Action vs Savage Axis series

    Really hoping I'm putting this in the correct section, if not my apologies. Looking at MDT chassis systems, some of them list the Savage Short Action (SA) but not the Axis and only a couple they list both the short action and Axis. Is there a mounting difference between the Savage 10 and the...

    Is it bad I want a M1 Garand in .308?

    Before 80% of you start yelling Blasphemy, what I mainly would like is a newer one made by Springfield Armory and rebarrelled to .308. If I could find an original that was rebarrelled at some point to .308 then I wouldn't mind that either. I tried looking around and all I found were the 1950s...

    Recommend a .308 Bolt Action Rifle?

    Looking to pick up a .308 bolt-action hunting rifle. This will be for deer and also for target shooting (I'm weird - I like to shoot at paper with a rifle). I'd prefer something that's well-built and rugged...hoping this will be a rifle that takes me into my golden (har!) years. I am very...

    AR-10s: safe to fire hunting ammo?

    I know in M14s and Garands we're not supposed to fire modern hunting ammo. Does the same rule apply to AR-10s? I made some hot reloads of .308 and fired quite a bit of them in a AR-10. Aside from leading, the rifle is fine however I want to know if it's okay if I continue this practice?

    Imbel L1A1 FAL inch or metric pattern?

    Hello all. Got a question for all you FN FAL aficionados out there, I recently bought an FN FAL style rifle at a pawn shop, This is the first FN FAL I've ever had or used and it's a very different animal than the AR style weapons I'm familiar with. After spending many hours of research and trial...

    HK 91 .308: Home Defense

    Hello Hk 91 a semiautomatic version of HkG3 chambered in .308 is everything one would like to have in a home defense weapon, except its weight and size that makes it more ideal to be shot from a stationary position. I have no problem maneuvering with it but given the more modern, compact and...

    POF large frame AR opinions?

    POF has kind of caught my attention with their recently announced very lightweight Rogue .308 AR. https://pof-usa.com/firearms/rogue/ At 5.9 lbs it looks kind of interesting as a hunting .308, and at $1,800 MSRP (maybe ~$1,500 street price once things calm down) I don't think I could build an...
