Thanks for all the replies! A lot of good info. I will post results, but it may take while. Nothing happens fast around here.

I will be loading for a .308 gas-operated semi auto, using 155 or 150 grain bullets. Barrel length is 16 inches. I'm looking for a powder that will render about 2700 fps, probably a faster-burning powder. Any suggestions are appreciated.

PT145 Mil Pro in a Crossbreed. Super reliable. I like that. The only I had to do was change the sights to a Wilson 3-dot.

Shuff's Parkerizing If your taste runs toward the M1 Garand & M14 family, you should check out Shuff's Parkerizing. Tim Shufflin performs conversions on M1 Garands, among other gunsmithing services. The man is a true craftsman, and that is a difficult thing to find, these days. He will take...

pt145 Mill-Pro I carry a PT145 Millenium Pro with a stainless upper in a Crossbreed holster at about 5 o'clock. I was a little concerned about recoil in a small, polymer-framed handgun. That is, until I actually fired it. I don't know how they did it, but IMHO this gun is pleasant to shoot...

PT145 MilPro I have a PT145 MilPro. No problems. Great handgun, surprisingly accurate for its size. Also, the relatively low recoil was a big surprise (using WWB 230 Gr. FMJ). The only thing I didn't care for were the Heine 2-dot sights. So, I changed them out for a Wilson Combat 3-dot...

My PT145 carries 10 rounds of .45. I have to either resolve the situation, or get the heck out of there before I use ten rounds. To be honest with you, after reading what everyone else has to say, I feel like carrying an extra mag. You never know. After all, Murphy is alive and well...
