Biggest caliber build for flatest 1,000 yards
survivalshop replied to Ken's topic in General Discussion
Didn't some post a video or link on these new long range calibers here some where . -
They are looking for ICE agents now . Robo , you have a Dremel Tool & have demonstrated you know how to use it ( well that may be a stretch ) or just spend the $ 10 . Just a shame you'all have to look for deceiving ways to change a Mag .

It didn't work out for this guy , getting pardoned , probably snitched on a bunch of his cohorts , so they just couldn't wait for him to get out . https://www.yahoo.com/news/michigan-man-whose-sentence-commuted-obama-killed-media-002212827.html

And you need a Armalite specific 308 Spring also . I have read of issues with the SCS , I would look deeper into it in this sight . Some have no issues & some do . As said , I would stick with one of the two systems , you will have no issues if you go one way or the other ( DPMS or Armalite ) Some specs that ArmaLite puts out... RECEIVER EXTENSION TUBES •.223 / .308 rifle length 9-11/16” (inside depth) •.223 carbine length 6-15/16” (inside depth) •.308 carbine length 7-5/8” (inside depth) BUFFER SPRINGS •.308 buffer spring rifle and carbine length 14-1/8” •.223 buffer spring rifle length 13-1/2” max – 11-3/4” min •.223 buffer spring carbine length 11-1/4” max – 10-1/16” min BUFFERS •.223 rifle length 5-7/8” – weight 5.2 oz •.308 rifle length 5-3/16” – weight 5.4 oz •.223 carbine length 3-1/8” – weight 3.0 oz •.308 carbine length 3-1/4” – weight 5.4 oz

6.5 Creedmoor , draw back is Barrel life is 1/2 that of a 308 . 308 ammo is everywhere . 338LM ammo is around $ 100 a box of twenty , can be had for less , but you have to look . There are AR type rifles made in this Caliber , but the price of them are way up there . -

No mention of Projo's in the Thread title -
I'm working on it , I put the Trigger in my 300BLK & I've been reloading for it this last week when I can , (this new Puppy has me hog tied ) I'm loading what 110 gr. bullets I have left & going to order 125's for the cases I have left . There's a Bullet type I want to try & its a matter of finding it at a good price . I may go to the range tomorrow , hard to say , just too busy & it was a beautiful day today .

Rule , I don't need no stinking rule ! -
Stick with a DPMS 308 Rifle Buffer & DPMS 308 Rifle Buffer Spring & you will be fine or a Tubb's Flat wire spring ( works with both Carbine & Rifle ) would be much nicer , smooth is the word for the Tubb's Spring .

NO ! I have a bunch of 300BLK cases waiting for them , don't want to wait any longer then I have to . -
The issue I have with this article , is with the Bullet comparison between the three Chambers , why an 80 gr. SMK , just how many load this Bullet or use factory ammo with it loaded ? Now this is a good comparison for Match shooters , but i would have liked him to use a 55 or 62 gr. Bullet for comparison & then not only show the results as he did with the 80 gr. SMK , but also the difference between the Bullet touching the Lands & what the bullet is seated in the factory ammo . I think one see's that , it would change the narrative of this article . One other thing that irritates me about these writers , they give the pressure spec's , but don't say that the difference in pressure is the MAX pressure per Sammi spec's of the Cartridges , they are definitely not loaded to those spec's , so why use them in a comparison as if they are used . No doubt the two .223/5.56 have different MAX pressure spec's as per SAMMI spec's , but no manufacturer loads ammo to MAX SAMMI spec's , no one ! They also don't tell you the .223 case is not as strongly made as the 5.56 case to handle the extra MAX pressure . So , why use that as a comparison , they are being overly safe , because they are liable for the articles they are writing & should be . I can tell you , that blow ups from ammunition are probably caused by hand loaders or using incorrect caliber ammo in a Chamber . I'm not telling you to go out & shoot 5.56 in .223 , but I can tell you from experience , that I have shot thousands of 5.56 in .223 chambers with out an issue & vice versa & o issues , I guess I should of had blown up rifles laying around .

Well I guess I'm not going to take a chance on this company if no one has even heard of them . I'll pay a few more $ to get my Bullets from my normal sources . -
Interesting article RELOADERS CORNER: AR15 CHAMBER OPTIONS JANUARY 19, 2017 GLEN ZEDIKER LEAVE A COMMENT It’s vital to understand “which” chamber is in your AR15. What you don’t know can create big problems. Here’s why. Glen Zediker I’ve talked over or at least touched upon this topic, here and there, in other articles. And this week I got four phone calls asking for advice on “which” AR15 chamber I’d recommend. I guess that sort of spurred creation of this article. My primary goal (always) is to answer questions, and ideally before they are asked. So… A TRUE NATO load always has this mark on its base: the cross-in-a-circle stamp. Some commercial ammo that appears to be mil-spec may or may not be, but err on the safe side. There are a few options today, and, no, it never was “simple.” There have always been two distinct chambers cut for .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO. And that’s the difference right there! See, .223 Rem. is a commercial round, 5.56 is a mil-spec round. Yes. They are “the same,” but they’re not. The difference is in how these two are loaded with respect to pressures. NATO is a whopping lot hotter. To the tune of +15,000 PSI. The differences in the chambers are, pretty much, that a NATO has a significantly longer throat or leade or freebore, whichever term is preferred. This is the area in a chamber that extends beyond the case neck cut. I use a Hornady LNL OAL gage to find out exactly the length of the chamber throat. Get one at Midsouth. This read shows “NATO” by the way. Sierra 80gr MatchKing at 2.550 inches to touch the lands. Wylde should read 2.475. SAAMI-minimum will (usually) be 2.395. This area in a chamber accepts the initial gas expansion, so, in one way, it can be looked at like an expansion chamber. More room for expanding gases effectively reduces stress on the case. When this area is lengthened, there’s more room, less pressure build. When this area is shortened, there’s less room, more pressure build. As said, .223 Rem. is short, NATO is long. Take a NATO-spec round and fire it in a .223 Rem. chamber and there’s too much pressure. The .223 Rem. will “fit” just fine; there’s no influential differences otherwise in chambering specifications between .223 Rem. and 5.56. You’ve probably heard all that before. It’s very important to know. “Which” chamber affects making loaded ammo choices, and also in interpreting reloading data. Here’s “real” NATO fired in a commercial .223 Rem. chamber. Ouch. The imprints and general beating the case head shows are the result of the additional pressure in the NATO loading, and the .223 Rem. chamber’s inability to excuse that much extra pressure. Short history as to the reasons these two chambers exist: .223 Rem. in civilian, commercial application was a varminting-type round, along the lines of .222 Rem. When SAAMI (Sporting Ammunition and Arms Manufacurers Institute) laid down the specifications for that round it did so based around the prevalent short .224 bullets of the day, which were often 52-grain flatbase designs. For best accuracy with the little bullets, the throat was kept short, decreasing the distance the bullet had to travel to engage the lands or rifling. Some, most, me included, call this chamber a “SAMMI-minimum.” The mil-spec ammo assembled for M16s used a 55-grain boat-tail loaded to a higher velocity, and the longer throat was specified to handle the extra gas. What matters is knowing that you don’t have a .223 Rem. chamber. A NATO can handle anything. Most AR15s I’ve handled in the past good long while have NATO chambers. It’s the only thing that makes any sense for someone, anyone, who wants to fire sto-bot ammo. Not all the mil-type commercial loads (like the “white box” varieties) are true NATO spec, but if the ammo is not marked “.223 Rem.” it might be a tad amount to a lot hotter than a short-throated gun should handle. True NATO ammo has a distinct marking on the case base. There is now another what’s become “standard” chamber for AR15s, and that’s the Wylde. Named for AR15 accuracy pioneer Bill Wylde, this reamer specs fall between SAAMI-minimum and NATO. Bill started cutting these chambers for NRA High Power Rifle contestants who needed more room in the throat to accept the long 80-grain bullets but not so much room that the shorter 69-grain bullets were having to leap a gorge to engage the lands. A compromise. A Wylde is a good chamber, and a good choice. Here’s the best way to see what’s going on with AR15 chambers. These are Sierra 80-grain MatchKing bullets loaded to an overall cartridge length that has the bullet touching the rifling. Left to right: SAMMI-minimum .223 Rem.; Wylde; NATO. Wahoo. Big, big differences. There’s a little more than 0.150 inches between the SAAMI-minimum and the NATO and that space in the throat handles the extra PSI of NATO-spec loadings. It is also, by the way, how to know (or one way to know) the actual “length” of a chamber throat. Here’s how it breaks down, according to me: SAAMI-minimum or commercial .223 Rem. chamber is good for those who are wanting the best accuracy from light bullets. Can’t run mil-surplus ammo or NATO-spec commercial though. NATO is for anyone who wants to shoot anything and everything out there safely. There’s a few ways I’ve seen “NATO” marked on barrels, and I’ve seen a good number of barrels that aren’t marked at all. That’s terribly irresponsible. Look for “5.56” since that seems to have become the more common way to denote “NATO.” Wylde is more or less an “Improved NATO,” and my experience has been that it will safely handle true NATO loads, even if that’s not its intended design. I base that on spent case condition. It will shoot a little better than a NATO with lighter, shorter bullets. The Wylde is available more and more commonly now from different manufacturers and in “drop-in” accessory barrels. If you have a “.223 Rem.” stamp on your barrel don’t feed it any ammo that is not clearly likewise marked “.223 Rem.” Should say the same on the case headstamp. If it doesn’t read “.223 Rem.” do not fire it in a barrel stamped “.223 Rem.” This ammo is safe for any AR15. If you don’t see a stamp on your barrel, find out…or just fire .223 Rem.

You guys just want me to own a reloading distributorship , so you can get cheap prices -
I use H110 & 296 ( same Powders ) Looks like the loadings for this Powder are about the same as H110 .

Under Gased or more likely a Ejector /Extractor issue . Disassemble both & inspect for Burr's or debris , check Springs & if there is a donut on the Extractor Spring , install a DPMS duel Spring set up . Sometimes the Extractor can hold onto the spent Cartridge too long & cause this issue . If you have spares , replace one or the other at a time . Inspection may show something . Photo's of said components would be nice for us to look at . A rough Chamber can also slow the BCG down enough to case an issue also . No issues with slow fire ?
