Amazing, brother - what a hoot!... And thank you, greatly, for spotting all the misses... You were on, calling my "not-on yets!" Minor clicks for major adjustments, stay close, and the advice of "don't chase it with clicks." What we figured out there towards the middle of the day - 1/10 mil adjustments, at 1760 yards = 6.3" every time you click one. This is gonna be a regular thing here, now. We need Gun Pusher John to get that damn .375 CheyTac out there. Pronto!...

What donuts?...

CCI 34s are hardened mil-type primers, but they're hot like CCI 250 Large Rifle Magnum Primers, and they're not the same as CCI 200 Large Rifle Primers. There's alot more punch in those 34s, over a standard 200. Same deal with CCI 41s for small, and CCi 400 standards, vs' 450 Magnums. Those 41s are magnum-powered.

No kidding... With the 500-yard zero, my dope chart has me at 16.1 mils at 1750 yards, and 17.1 mils at 1800 yards - this thing is dropping like a stone...

Here's how this was run - since @JBMatt actually went to the Long Range Shooter's of Utah "Milk Jug Challenge" last August, he's the one that's done it, and says how it's gonna get done - and it WORKS very well. Last August, he went up there, and did their course, and qualified at 1000, 1200, 1500, and 1760 (1 mile). So, You get your "first attempt" - which is 10 rounds. After 10 rounds, you're off the line, next person is up. After everybody cycles through, and if time is available, you can take your second attempt (another 10 rounds), and on and on... until the range closes, you run out of daylight, whatever. So, we talked about it last week, and we camped out there last night, just tented it. Had everything running this morning, and Matt shot his first attempt. Close, like ALL OVER THAT TARGET, but it's distance. Wind was light, around 2~3mph. GREAT day for doing this. I was up next, did my dial, laid my rounds down there, and was very, very close too many times to count, in those 10. Matt gets up there next, second attempt, and hits that fucker on his 8th round. I go through my second attempt, very close, and never connecting. Take a break, eat some breakfast, and go into my third. Hit it on the 5th round. So, Matt made it in 18 rounds, I made it in 25. That mile is no joke, even with the light winds we had - you wouldn't be able to do it in some of the heavier winds we've shot in out there at the 850 and 1k. Here's Matt's hit: Here's my hit, when we went out there to pull the target: I'd taken a ride on the Ace out there to check it out, and none of my shiit was working. Cell phone low on charge, GoPro eating it's own battery, camera won't function because of all the dirt in it - I knew what my hit was, and I got back and told them that it's about as close to being in the very direct center of this guy's head, as you can get. It was pretty damn cool. Here's the setup: Here's the only GoPro vid I got - and you can hear it shutting itself down even before I was done with this vid...

1 Mile is done, brothers. 16.9 mils of dial, up from the 500 yard zero. Light wind, maybe 2~3mph. Ended up dialing 1.0 miles left for wind. Shot that fucker directly in the very center of the head. Camera locked up from dust, and wouldn't open the lens. Phone battery was low, and wouldn't activate the camera function on it. GoPro battery is dying on me, because I fully charged it before going out there, and when I turned it on - it dies. @JBMatt spotted for me, and went with me to recover the target. He has a good pic of it. I'll get into more details in a little while, unpacking the truck right now. .300 Win Mag is the sheit.

I saw one of those posts, about where he went into the Pen, over on Full30, and I almost shiit myself - and thought "It HAD to be a bump-stock, and Oregon fucked HIM!!!"

Please ask questions, along the way - we'll answer. If something doesn't make sense, just ask. If something doesn't jive - we'll help, and correct our information if need be. But, asking is the most important part. At one point or another, all of us here have been through all of the questions that you have - not a single person, but the collective. We've all done this for a long time, and someone, here, has experience with what you're asking. We're here to make functional .308AR rifles - no matter what crazy caliber someone dreams up to shoot from them. We pretty much have all the calibers covered, amongst us, and tinkered and figured them out. Been a long, crazy road... If you want it solved - we've pretty much done it already, and we're here to help.

Are you serious?!!? No shiit?!!? Oh, that next pic - ALL pedophiles have a mustache, but not EVERYONE with a mustache is a Pedophile...

Oh, I have more, brother... Where's @JF89?...

@Lonewolf McQuade....

I appreciate your understanding, and acceptance to read, more than you know. THANK YOU for looking at the information presented, because it's about a decade of work, and experience, and trial-and-error on these platforms. It's proven information. Too many gloss over it, though, and try to argue it, without even looking at it in the first place. I commend you, and appreciate you. For YOUR time...

This goes down tomorrow. Took the day off work, so we can get out there and make this proper. What turned into a shoot for a guy that fixed his .308AR recoil system problems, during the Fall Shoot - and was prevented from shooting the 450 at night, THEN... Has morphed into this... "Let's throw down a shoot, right after dark, so he can pull this off - because his gun works now... - dark is 6pm, so we won't be out there long... " PLUS, who knew the off-set Long Distance Range 850 target was exactly 1.00-something miles from CAMP?! Well, we learned it that day, and I didn't bring a 1-mile gun to the Shoot - because we weren't gonna shoot 1-mile during the shoot... It all goes down tomorrow. We decided we're staying the night, too - light. Just tents, no heavy equipment. Fire ban here in AZ was lifted just a couple days after the Fall Shoot - so we'll have a RAGIN' campfire out there for this one... in memory of the Fall Shoot Campfires that couldn't happen...

You can cut the bullshiit now, and LISTEN... Or refuse to listen, and just be dumb. Go mount a real AR-10 handguard to your rifle, and see what happens - and make sure you report back on that. Tell me how you succeed on battling 16tpi threads vs 18tpi threads - you'll learn right then, I guarantee it. You can listen, or you can ignorantly argue an invalid point, and be a dumbass. Your call. PSA has never been smart, nor accurate - in listing products - nor put out fully functional PSA PA-10s, from their factory. Don't bet all your money on that basket of bullshiit.

Your recoil system is fucked. I'll say it. Read this, first, then respond after you've read it. Ask any questions about the information, right here in your thread - NOT in that thread. Read: EDIT - P.S. 5.4 ounces is the standard buffer weight.

^^^ This right here echo's aloooot of times in my life... "Oh, shiit - Hold on, we'll deal with this in a second..."

More details on this. What's the buffer weight? What's the spring pressure? This single part might be a mistake, pending your response on those details. When you choose "fancy shiit" - you choose "complicated solutions..." Stick with shiit that works. Don't complicate shiit with complicated shiit. Same thing goes with the adjustable gas block -if you're not gonna suppress this weapon, then you shouldn't need an adjustable gas block. Unless you are purely building a Race Gun.

Not here - bring that shiit down...

I support your fight, brother, more than you know. '86~'91, I was there, and I loved it. It was paradise. Started to go to shiit around '89, but just with that gang-banger BS, that started moving north, out of LA, but it was still cherished memories. The potential, is truly PARADISE, because that what that place is. But hey, I loved Washington from '92~'04, too - and the Libs fucked that one up there, too, after that. Wet Side RULES!!! Dry Side, meh, whatever. I love the Wet Side. I'm glad I sold my house there in Jun '07 - before the crash.

So... You're moving in with me, is what you're saying? Just need to know, ahead of time... Brace MYSELF for your impact...

^^^ Fucker bought a shell launcher...

The .338 Fed 16" gun shoots a little "softer" than the .308 Win 16" gun does - and I set them up indentically... Weird, I know. We'll see on the .358 Win 16" gun.

That (now to be delivered) 12" TRIM rail will go on the 16" .358 Win AR that I'm brewing up right now, with WC's barrel . Aero M5 receivers, BCG is already here, some Athlon 1~6 or 1~8 scope in mils (meals, in NC)... This one right here, in the Ranger profile... https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Match-Grade-Barrel-358-Winchester-Ranger-16-1-14-Twist-Stainless/productinfo/TR-358RAIG16RT14/

^^^ That's why I CeraKote my shiit, when I want it dirt-colored. Which Shorty - there are a bunch of them...

Their AR barrels are amazing. Pure perfection. I had a gas port sizing issue with my .260 Rem barrel, but I bought that thing as soon as they announced it. 0.070" gas port, needed to be 0.080". I punched it up - flawless operation, with any ammo I toss at it. That barrel from them now wears an 0.080" gas port diameter. They watch, and they listen. My other barrel from them is my 16" .338 Federal barrel, and that thing has been flawless from the get-go. They do FINE work. Next up from them for me is their 16" .358 Win barrel. That's happening. That's all about what this last order to them was about. Left to right: .243 Win, .260 Rem, .308 Win, .338 Fed, .358 Win: The .358 Win will complete those others that I already have - then I'll still need the 7mm-08... Wilson Combat makes that barrel, too...
