    So who's going to convert their AR to 300 Ham'r?

    A 30-30 with a 150-170 flat nose isn't a great performer, I started hunting with one in the mid 70s. Bullets have changed, they perform better. Load a 30-30 with a 120-130gr new bullet and it's a different animal. We have been shooting the 30 Herrett AR/ 30HRT/ TAC30(6.8 necked up to 30cal and...

    So who's going to convert their AR to 300 Ham'r?

    One thing to consider and everyone with a new cartridge does it. They compare watered down factory ammo velocities to high pressure handloads or in the case of the 300BO they like to say their 300 is as fast as a 30-30 but they compare a 110gr in a 300BO to a 30-30 shooting a 150gr bullet.

    6.5 Grendel Barrel/Build Ideas

    Satern changed to a Grendel II chamber to get away from the compound throat tolerance issues. It is similar to the 264LBC now but has a .300 neck diameter instead of a .297. There haven't been any chamber issues in apx 18 months. Satern makes a good Grendel barrel.

    6.8 max load data-pressure and velocity

    This is only to show max loads- any load between 58-60k should be considered max. Start 1.5-2gr lower and work up while looking for accuracy. 120SST---------2.3"OAL-- IMO apx 30-31gr is max fill for ball powders and the 120 sst loaded to 2.295 For that reason CFE, Lever, 2520 and 748 are too...

    6.8 performance on hogs-video

    Most of the shots were made with the Hornady 6.8 120gr SST. They are explosive and will ruin a lot of meat if hit in the wrong spot. The Hornady 100gr GMX will do the same job and not destroy meat but they are more expensive. Todd of Lone Star Boars made the video, lots of good info on the...

    Chrome Lined vs Nitrided and Melonite

    There are places that produce 4150 11595e Melonite treated barrels. 1 in 8 twist 5R rifling. Load 24.5gr RE15 behind 69gr SMKs at 2.28" and check your accuracy. Not many chrome lined barrels will put them in 1/2" at 100yds.

    thinking of replacing 5.56mm as my go-to cartridge

    If I had to choose one with factory ammo to do it all it would be the 6.8. Fortunately I reload so I chose the SIX5(6.5 in a 6.8 case).

    The AR .243x45 System Project

    I think you may have a hard time getting a 6x45 to push a 85 or 90 gr bullet at 2850 from a combat length barrel since I can barely get a 95SMK to 2800 from a 18.5" barrel using a 6.8 case(6x41) IMO the 45mm case is too long to allow the use of longer 6mm bullets and why I cut the SPC case back...

    Guess What Fellas? I'm Not Buying An AR in 5.56. I'm Holding Out for A 6.8 SPC

    Most have the 6.8 as a second caliber, most we sell go to hog and deer hunters but more and more LEO's are buying where they are allowed to use their own weapon, the 6.8s are coming in the back door just like the 40 did. The 6.8 is still being used by some groups US and other but, didn't get...

    Best NM/DCM AR-15?

    Wilson Arms makes the barrels for RRA and Armalite. I would try Frank at Compass Lake Eng. or a Shilen barrel from WOA.

    6.8 or 6.5 Ar upper?

    The 6.5 mags are wider than the 5.56 inside, the ribs are not as deep on the side. 6.8s are also wider than a 5.56 inside.

    6.8 or 6.5 Ar upper?

    I have had 2 personal 6.5CSS rifles with the compound throat like the Grendel and 2 personal chambers with the standard 1.5 degree throat. If you decide to go with a 6.5 do yourself a favor and check out the 264LBC or any that have a 1.5 degree throat and apx .110-.120 freebore, they are not as...

    New Caliber - 300 AAC Blackout

    New Caliber - 300 AAC Blackout

    Silvers, I think Dave at PTG called me not 15 minutes after it was released. I'll kick it around but, want to see the ammo available first. Be interesting to see what the big SWAT forces do with this.

    New Caliber - 300 AAC Blackout

    Silvers, Who is making firearms for this round and who is making ammo and when will the ammo hit the shelves? I can move about as fast as anyone when it comes to producing wildcat ARs. I could have rifles in 4-5 weeks.

    New Caliber - 300 AAC Blackout

    In the past there were issues with the 7.62x39 in a AR platform just like there have been feeding issues with every caliber in the AR15 platform, that's why we have HK and Magpul mags and followers for the 5.56 now. Same with stronger buffer springs, extractor springs and better bolts. CP has...
