^^^ I mighta used that pen to stab the guy right in his thorax! <dontknow> <lmao>

Initially, yes. In the future? They don't make many 308AR parts, so they probably won't do a FF rail, either. I doubt you'd ever see a BCM 308 FF setup.

Yeah, brother - just like you're doing on the seating die now, to seat the bullet. Run it down until it just kisses the case neck, lock it down, adjust the OAL at the top, lock it down, seat bullets all day long. Running the taper crimp on them is a separate process (or another seating die in a progressive press). Run the die down until it kisses the case neck, run it down another 1/8 turn, test crimp one. If you like it, lock it down, run the top in until it touches your loaded bullet, lock that one down. Taper crimp all day long. If you didn't think it was enough crimp at 1/8 additional turn, run it down a little more, test crimp one until you're happy with it, and drive on the rest of the day. That's only on the Full Length die sets, brother - I'm not sure on the other RCBS seating dies. <thumbsup>

Nope.

Damn you, Ron...

I love that rifle... :love4:

I can't imagine what that thing is throwin' down with a twin turbo setup. Holy balls. Greg, that thing is sah-weet!

Damn, you clearly said BADASS ambi safety, and I was still thinking MagPul BAD lever. I'm a dumbass. If a standard safety works in something, any variation of the BADASS safety should work, also.

That's something that actually needs to be machined in the upper receiver, man, not the lower. Interference is in the upper.

That's a nice setup, micro!

Hey brother, we talked about this one... >:D Beast. http://www.mopar.com/mopar/dragpak/ http://blog.caranddriver.com/new-dodge-challenger-drag-pak-packs-8-4-liter-viper-ish-v10/

Jgun, you'll like loading 30-06, but be ready for the shock... Powder goes FAST. You'll go through a pound before you know it!

Wash, I'm still in, whatever the timeline is. <thumbsup>

Published October 09, 2013 FoxNews.com The man drew the gun several times on the crowded San Francisco commuter train, with surveillance video showing him pointing it across the aisle without anyone noticing and then putting it back against his side, according to authorities. The other passengers were so absorbed in their phones and tablets they didn't notice the gunman until he randomly shot and killed a university student, authorities said. Before that moment, footage showed the man pull out the .45-caliber pistol and once wipe his nose with the hand holding the weapon, authorities told the San Francisco Chronicle in a story on Monday. "These weren't concealed movements -- the gun is very clear," District Attorney George Gascon said. "These people are in very close proximity with him, and nobody sees this. They're just so engrossed, texting and reading and whatnot. They're completely oblivious of their surroundings." Authorities declined a request by The Associated Press for the surveillance footage, citing an ongoing investigation. San Francisco police officials say people who pay too much attention to digital technology are also vulnerable to theft. "Oftentimes when you interview people who get their phones stolen, when you ask them to describe where the person came from, what he was wearing, they have no idea," said police Chief Greg Suhr. Nikhom Thephakaysone, 30, has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder in the Sept. 23 attack on Justin Valdez, 20, a student at San Francisco State University who was shot in the back of the head as he left the train. Thephakaysone also has been charged with assault with a semi-automatic handgun. Prosecutors said he stuck a handgun in another man's back earlier the same night he shot Valdez as he looked for a victim. He did not pull the trigger and went on the hunt again for a victim for more than an hour, at one point waving a gun outside a Thai restaurant, Assistant District Attorney Scot Clark has said. He was also charged with illegally possessing an assault weapon after police said they seized two such rifles, combat knives and razors at his home. Police said he was carrying $20,000 in cash when he was arrested.

Welcome back around, man! Good to see you on here, and also hear of the busy stuff. <thumbsup>

I know, man! I was wondering "Who the hell is the guy in the middle, wearing Rob's hat?!..." <dontknow> <lmao>

Had a riot out there - original plan was to meet my old parts manager out there, so his step-son could shoot. Kid was turning 18, and had never shot anything before. We cooked up that plan, and it was a coincidence that Larry was in town the same weekend. Met Larry on Saturday at Bass Pro in Phx, then again Sunday for some shooting. Larry, the highlight of the day wasn't the 18-year old's smile from shooting - it was your grandson! That boy had a grin on his face, bigtime... <thumbsup> I probably cost Larry some money on this trip, too - He got to test out the Geissele Hi-Speed DMR trigger in the Mk12, and I think he liked it. <laughs> He also got to test out the AR45, and I think he liked that, too... <lmao>

I always lightly taper crimp anything going into an autoloader. Since most of my stuff is auto-loading, by extension, all my ammo gets crimped. I've personally seen the bullet setback in autoloaders, numerous times. Once, even by the mag-full. Depending on what gear you're using, you might already have a crimp die and not even know it. All the RCBS FL die sets have a taper crimp function built into the seating die. <thumbsup>

That's the truth. The sources you've talked to on the subject don't know what the hell they're talking about. They'd be a lot of fun to sit down with in a bar, when this subject comes up. They'd be crying in their beer within 10 minutes. Yep, sounds like the bulk of their "experience" on the subject comes from other people that didn't know what they were talking about. Regurgitation of garbage. No kiddin'...

Looks like a damn good time! I like the setup. <thumbsup>

The M1 Carbine with it's issued 30-round magazine:

It's more difficult than that. Just having QD scope mounts doesn't mean you can switch scopes from one rifle to the other. The Zero for the second rifle would be far off. For the purposes of barrel comparison, and truly being curious about the accuracy of both barrels, it might be worth it to zero on one, re-zero for the second, and re-zero back to the original. Just to let somebody else know - it really wouldn't be worth it. This would be where you, OP, buy two barrels, a scope, and a good QD scope mount, and go through that process. At the end of that process, you put those results up here.

^^^ Ditto. Put probably another 150 through mine to day - zero issues.

^^^ The ones that had doubles also had poor trigger control, brother. It's all about the follow-through, 100%. <thumbsup>

Damn good read - this needs to be in another section, with the discussions of barrel length vs.accuracy. Both topics should be pinned.
