    Can't find the right rifle: short, light, 308, threaded, with mag?

    How about the Browning BAR Mark III. It has everything you want except possibly the threaded barrel. Im not sure if they offer the threaded barrel but even if they dont you can have that done at a good gun shop.

    What slings are you guys using for AR15s?

    I use a 2 point which can switch to a 1 point easily. Buy them straight off of Amazon for $10, they are made out of good materials, they come with quick detach mounts, they come in multiple colors and they are easy to adjust...

    Reload data for bullets not in the book

    I love this site and how helpful everyone is. I followed the advice from the posts above and so far everything is doing fine. I loaded up 10 rounds with the 220 grain plated bullets using the recommended powder loads from the 220gr HPBT data. Rifle cycled perfectly, I had no flyers and the fired...

    Reload data for bullets not in the book

    Thank you very much for your reply. It was exactly what I needed to know. What you said is basically how I thought I should handle the issue but being new to reloading I had very little confidence in my decisions. Anyways now I can get on with some test rounds

    Reload data for bullets not in the book

    How do you choose powder loads for bullets you cant find any data on? I have some 300 blackout 220 gr plated bullets I got from Everglades Ammo and the only data I can find in that caliber 220gr bullet is for a HPBT. Should I just use the HBPT data? I also have some 300 BO 245gr RNFP hi-tek...

    300BLK Which bullets to use???

    How many of you use the low cost coated bullets for plinking or serious shooting? I have never fired a coated bullet but I see the much lower costs and all the ads saying pros use them in the tourneys and I think im going to try them out. Is there a downfall to using them?

    300BLK Which bullets to use???

    I know some of yall are shooting this caliber so share some of that hard earned wisdom. My biggest question with the 300BLK is about the bullets. Ive seen posts online saying any 30 cal bullet will work and others saying just the opposite. I only know one guy who shoots the 300BLK alot and his...
