Sounds good, I thought that the length I was finding was a bit excessive over max.

Last night I went out to the man cave (garage) after the temp dropped down into the mid 90's, cooled off a bit (TX), and started playing with my new stuff for 308 win that has just showed up. I started by chambering fired cases shot from my rifle (once) and new ammo to see if I could feel a...

True, about having to bend the case neck. I was not thinking about the area that the bullet is held by but just thinking of it as a bullet in the end of a case. Over thinking..... Thanks!

I have a SPS700 308 that I'm anxiously awaiting for the dies to arrive for and was doing some thinking. Can chambering a round from the mag increase runout, given that the ammo has proper neck tension?

+1 for FN 45's My FNP45 has been top notch, the only problem I've had was with WWB. After some measuring I found that it was due to rounds that were very close to max OAL spec, the mags are a little tight on there tolerances. But if you have any problem I've heard that FN will swap you out with...

It's funny I was just telling the misses how pleased I am with the rifle, looks and performance. I have the target on my dresser and every time I see it I smile. I think for now I'll maybe just tweak the stock trigger and give it some more time. Just started a new job this week and figured out...

Johnson76 I was shooting 168gr Black Hills match, right out of the box. This seemed to do the best for me out of the three I tried; black hills, federal match & hornady match all 168. I did notice also that the black hills punch nice neat holes where the other two were a little bit sloppier...

I'm thinking the same thing, I did trade an Arsenal SGL 21, a good AK but dollar to dollar I think I did well. C-grunt, thanks I do plan on taking it out to my normal range, family land, where I have a safe downhill spot out to 250 yds. This is do to land orientation, neighboring houses, trees...

Thanks fellas! This is my first center fire bolt rifle that Ive actually sat at a bench with and did some shooting. The other groups where a little loose compared to these guys but hey I'm learnin. The nice thing was i was improving with every group. Just tried to keep in mind breathing...

I did what many here recommend against and I traded a gun off for another one. In this case I swapped an AK47 for the 700...... and I'm glad as hell I did :D Don't get me wrong now I liked the AK and I understand that there are plenty of y'all out there that wouldn't dare do such a thing as to...

Mucho Gracias Smokey! I thought it was something along those lines, just couldnt find any info. Thanks

What is the purpose of the tube that screws onto the end scope to make the overall length longer. The scope I'm referring to is a Pride Fowler RR800. It has a roughly 4" section that goes on the end. Just curious what function it serves. Tried google with no luck. Thanks

Nice! I hadn't tried one that light yet. From having a little trouble with the 200's when I first started I made the assumption the light stuff wasn't for this pistol. Thanks for the input!

Point noted, I'm out of town right now for work but when I get home I'll crack open the book and post up the few I have come up with for future FN owners. So far off the top of my head I have found that the OAL of 1.260 has yielded the best accuracy over the 5.7 gr of 231 with the 230 RN. I...

Nobody? Hmmm to bad it ain't a 1911 that question would've been easy
