Yes, I have a 6.8 on AR frame and I'm very pleased with it. I did find the ammo expensive until I got some cases and started with reloads. Now the price is good enough that I can actually have some fun on the range with it. I carry the rifle with me on the job and have two kinds of ammo. Vmax...

I'm sorry, but I can not tolerate such waste. There are poor children going to bed in Africa without any of these. Be thankfull for what you have.

I Guess I'm Cornfuzed! If I'm on trial for a crime shouldn't the DA feel that he/she has enough evidence to convict? Would that evidence be solely on factory or reloads? Would he/she also need further evidence that I committed a crime and my actions were not self defense? I go back to my...

Good Question What are you planning to do with the ammo? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, it's just that if you are going to use it for hunting, think we are going to war in this country or what? I do know if I have to try and stock up so that I can live the life that I am now living, then I...

To HisSoldier I guess the answer to your original question is "no". It doesn's look like anyone has came up with any cases of someone being convicted based on factory or reloads alone. I too think it is a crazy issue when what really matters is why you had to shoot in the first place. Now if I...

OK! I get it now. So let's say I'm in court on trial for shooting someone that is attempting to rob me at gun point or something like that. Do you think it is possible the prosecutor will bring up certain details such as; When you are shooting at the range what kind of targets do you shoot...

Then Reality Personally I carry a Taurus Pro-Mil 9mm off duty. I too get tired of the weight of the pistol from wearing one so much. I have seen people killed with a 22 and others live shot with a 7.62. The thing is when the time comes forget the stats and shoot. Shoot the best you can under...

What Kind Of Disturbance? First let me say I have more years with a badge (Star) than the Officer you are talking about. I have never stopped a vehicle that was not speeding and explained to the driver why he should never speed. I have never stopped at a house that I was not called to and told...

New Member Greetings! I am new and still trying to figure this system out. I am a Deputy Sheriff in Florida and retired once then started back to work. Spent some time over seas on a contract after I retired and when I finished my contracts I decided to work in the States. I have several...

Knife? Gun? Their is a saying "never carry a knife to a gun fight". In this video it did show how fast a knife attack can be. The point in the video is in my oppinion to first defend from the knife attack as you are preparing to use your pistol. A few slashes in a non threatening area is better...

I like It I have just purchased a 6.8 AR and had it set up like I wanted. I have the Douglas barrell with a 1:11 twist and just shot enough to break the barrell in. It is good for 1" group at 100yds. I got some extras on the rifle and enjoy shooting it. The first reason I bought the rifle is I...

If anyone has shot the 6.8 AR with V-MAX ammo I would like to know how you feel about the performance. I have not shot mine at a windshield yet and I'm curious about penetration through glass. :confused: I also would like to know about different loads and how they performed for this weapon.

Good luck and have fun.

Think I have to say I agree with Kentucky Dave. Also remember our actions can add to the ammo of the liberals that want to take our right to own guns. Also while you are looking at the statutes Dave posted for you look at the definition of Aggravated Assualt and Aggravated Battery. You look it...
