Yeah. FUKC THAT...

I'll dig out pics of past events...

I've done this 3 times, brother. Military-Heavy one year and Civilian two years. The full course, too, ALL years. 26.2 miles. I think everyone should experience this, once in their lifetime. The sand wash starting at 22 miles will FUK YOU UP, RIGHT TO THE END, the first time you do it. After that first year, you KNOW that shiit is coming for you, at 22... EDIT - I was itchin' for a fight last year - and it was CANCELLED for COVID. This year, I didn't even check. Figured there was no way, on the ass-end-of-the-dog of this COVID shiit. Didn't even look. Next year - if JoeBama says we're all okay to be Americans again - I'll get into this with yous guys... Let's do it. There's the full 26.2 mile course, and there's a 14-mile course. Doesn't matter which one you do - it just matters that you DO ONE. The short course just eliminates that LONGASS trip uphill, around that fucking mountain... I've been trying to get you guys to do this for years here, with me... White Sands Missile Range is no joke, for this one. But, it's a journey that you will never forget, and if you're "embracing that suckfest" with your brothers, then it's even better. Man up, brothers. Let's do this. Stop being a bunch of pussies about it. Years, I've talked this shiit. I WILL BACK IT UP. Done it for myself, numerous times. I know me - I can take it. Done took it.

Damn right!...

Did you call my gunpusher?...

^^^ THAT GUY is a fuckin BADASS.

YEP!!!

^^^ I was close!!!... Blame your Reps, brother. They're the ones that are doing this to you. For real. Washington turned into a Political Wasteland, with Lib Politics, and it's all because of the Lib-Tards on the Wet-Side...

That's a Seattle-thing, brother. Nothing more, right there. I don't pay that tax down here - nowhere near it. I can't believe that you're getting taxed to move homeless shelters - That's some SERIOUS LIB SEATTLE SHIIT!@ EDIT - I'm waiting for you to respond, "I DON'T LIVE IN SEATTLE!!!" and all angry as fuk about it. Yeah, YOU don't... but your elected Communists live, and vote, and work in Seattle...

^^^ TactiCat does NOT have that kind of patience with dogs... It's full-on BANG right from first sight... This is Mo Vs. Dogs, right here.

That's why I reload, brother - but reloading components are equally as skeery right now. Distributors can't buy the "bulk" that they did before, and buy in singles, or small multiples - and that costs more, for them. We don't get to buy a case of 5,000 primers anymore - because even the distributors can't get a single case of 5,000 primers... So, they have to scrounge for the 1,000 boxes, here, there, at the higher price. Then pay their workers... and OUR price is up... Everyone thinks the industry is fucking us over. DEMAND is fucking us over, and the Industry is doing everything it can to even TRY to keep up with the demand... On our side, I don't blame higher prices on manufacturers, distributors, vendors (with exception - some gouging cocksuckers out there in vendor-land)... Higher prices are because of (1) the demand, and (2), factories are running 'round the clock, 3 shifts, COVID-spaced apart because of the "Deadly Pandemic"... 3 shifts now equals the production of a single 8-hour shift before all this bullshiit... I don't blame the gun industry, at all - they're all having higher costs to make product, because of all this bullshiit COVID horse-fuckery. I blame the "Fake Panic" on all this shiit, blame the cities that can't keep their people safe from looters, which leads to more people realizing that simple fact that... The police don't PREVENT crime from happening. They RESPOND to crime...

I see what you did there...

^^^Exactly. Call, on the phone, and talk to a human there. They will help you out, if they can.

We had him - offended everyone that was easily offended. Then, Libs found out how to cheat the election... But, I think he'll be back...

Good idea - maybe the Mods can edit that pic and get rid of that part. You never know when some Joker here might send you a 3ft Purple Double-Headed Jelly Dong. Just because.

Right on, man - glad it worked out!

I'm just glad the math works...

Major differences. Here's two mentions of it right here: Those posts are from our section, "308AR - What You Need To Know" https://forum.308ar.com/forum/65-308-ar-what-you-need-to-know/

Even a Blind Monkey finds a Banana once in awhile, right?...

We just had someone post the bolt catch for that configuration, here, in the last two weeks. Someone will bring it up, so hang on... EDIT - Found it. Check this out:

The only other things that I use RL-22 powder for are my .300 Win Mag loads, flinging 225gr ELD-Ms at 2932 fps through a Rem 700 26" heavy barrel, and in the .338 Lapua Magnum loads with the Hornady 285gr ELD-Ms.

You should be higher on that muzzle velocity, for that load - wouldn't matter which projectile, as both are 140s. I punched in my load information to ShootersNotes Velocity Estimator, then added your info as the change. You should be jamming those things pretty close to 2950fps. Click it a few times, it gets bigger... If it were mine, I'd verify the internal depth of the rifle receiver extension - it should be 9 11/16" internal depth. Then, I'd change the spring to a known, quality spring, and that would be the Armalite EA1095 spring. Buffer weight is good, as long as that buffer is 5.200" long. The only brass is use for my load is Hornady .308 Win Match cases, resized for the .260 Rem, and all necks turned. I check length after every firing, and bring them all to 2.035" if any went longer. This just gives me a uniform crimp everytime, through a Lee Factory Crimp Die. I load RL-22 at 43.0 grains, use CCI 200 primers, and use Hornady 147 ELD-M projectiles, loaded to 2.795" OAL. This is giving me dead-on 2650 fps through a 20" rifle-gas Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter barrel. That load you're running is very hot. I'd back that thing down, and start over. That short gas tube is leaving some gas timing on the table, that you could use, but with that load, I don't think it would matter if the gas tube were correct - that BCG has to be just MOVING...

There's another one-sided catch, that someone posted recently - maybe that will pop back up.

Lots of companies do this - Aero and DPMS come straight to mind.

I'll dump my .260 Rem load details here, but only after I hear your load details first. I'm really curious about the details - especially your muzzle velocity - and how you came up with that powder load. I'm reloading with nothing but RL-22, since I built this gun 3-ish years ago - no other powder has ever touched this gun. My MV is 2650fps from a 20" rifle-gas barrel, and it's a laser, for precision, and still supersonic to 1,500 yards on 17.2 mils of dial, and that's a 100-yard zero for dope. My next goal for this gun is getting it to 1,760 yards, beyond that trans-sonic "shake", and see if I can repeatedly get it there. That 45.4gr charge of RL-22 is high as hell, especially for the dwell time of a 24" barrel that's rifle-gas. That's alot of dwell time, and alot of time to dump that pressure into the BCG. Please spill the details. Cases, primers, trim length, where you're getting the brass from, loaded COL, etc. All the other details of the gun need to spill, too - all the ones that I referenced above. This is workable. We just need details. EDIT - For clarification from my part - I only have one .260 Rem, and it's an AR. I don't have any others, and no bolt guns in that caliber. The only load development I've ever done on .260 Rem is all gas-gun load development.
