Where was the Appleseed that you went to that went to 800 afterwards? What range was it held at?

Every PA-10 is different, literally, over the years. It all comes down to what they put together, and shipped you - which more comes down to determining what you received. Measurements, measurements, measurements... That's the only way to find out what you're really working with, and what you need to solve to make it functional in all aspects of it's operation...

@RedRiverII, you ever see the movie "Inception"?... It's about the plot, within the plot, within the plot, infiniti... I planted that seed with the comment I quoted up there ^^^... We FIND that $4 per-shot expensive 6.5C ammo - let that data dwell in there for some time...and that's our gateway into spending as much as you want on reloading equipment, man... We have to cultivate this, though, and it takes time...

This very well might be the Quote Of The Year, right here...

I'd eat at that taco truck everyday, just because of the sense of humor...

The only two Carbine Receiver Extension internal-depth specs you're ever going to see are 7.000" internal and 7 5/8" internal. Armalite still does 6 15/16" on their AR-15 carbine extensions, but 7.000" works fine. On a rifle recoil system, there is only one depth to keep track of, and that's 9 11/16", doesn't matter if it's AR-15 or .308AR. You go to a long-action cartridge (30-06 and above) in the AR Platform, and all that info ^^^ might be out the window - it's up to the manufacturer of that platform to "figure it all out..." *** Info is NOT Rock River Arms (RRA) LAR-8. They do their own thing.

For a 2.500" buffer in a .308AR, you need to verify that the buffer is really 2.500", and verify that the internal depth of the receiver extension is 7.000". Armalite AR-15 spec is actually 6 15/16". At any rate,7.000" internal (measured at the top, not bottom) is the internal depth number that you need to keep the BCG from slamming into the ears on the lower receiver. I see you mentioned the 18" barrel from them. I'm sure you've found the post on that, its gas port size, and the gas system that they send to run that config - I know you found the gas tube situation already. If not, on the barrel gas port info, I'll point it out. Welcome aboard.

Damn, Slayer! That's a nice haul right there!...

I'll share some weird chronograph data I gained on my 6.5 Grendel loads tomorrow... 1.0gr of difference between the loads was a shocker, between two barrels that were 2" in difference...

I remember telling you early on, that taking on this challenge with a .300BLK was gonna be a tough task, just due to the vast differences in projectile selection and muzzle velocities... You have to balance projectile weight (over a far greater projectile weight-range than any other caliber has), versus the muzzle velocity differences (that no other caliber has seen, to date), on this one. It's the ultimate challenge of "Speed and Accuracy" here, with what you're trying to do...

We start here, so save this. This is only assuming that we have to go "this deep" on explaining the benefits of the .22WMR, way later down the road... https://www.buckmasters.com/Magazines/GunHunter/Articles/ID/2125/The-Overlooked-22-WMR

^^^ I used something very similar to that- with different facts on different projectile capabilites - to get @Matt.Cross into a BADASS Mk12 Mod 1 6.5 Grendel gun. It took me a year, but... I kid you not... It's all about "persistence", Red. You can beat this, easily -we just need to approach it with the right information, and right angles...

We start innocently. VERY innocently. First, we look up the cost of the most expensive 6.5 Creedmoor precision ammo that we can find. You know, the 6.5C you're building is for the ultimate precision, right? I bet we can find some stuff that's about $4 a round, if we hunt hard enough. After that, we start looking at "trainer rifles" and comparing some of the cost of those trainer rifles that are abnormally high in cost... but, STILL cheaper than that $4 a round that we're looking for on that Creedmoor. After that, we start comparing costsof "Trainer Rifle Training Ammunition..." Key words there, man. Fact: for comparing similar wind drift -Shooting .308 Win at 600 yards will have very similar wind drift as Shooting .22LR at 200 yards. So, we work the .22LR into the game here... THEN, we bust out .22WMR. We've already broken out the 200-600 comparo with .22LR, BUT... we break out the minimal cost difference between .22LR and .22WMR, and explain the vast difference in distance-trajectory in the benefit of the .22WMR round. (we will need data charts to show the differences at distance between the two ".22s"...). THAT IS THE POINT RIGHT THERE...that you bust out the cost of the Ruger American .22WMR bolt gun. At that point, my good man, once you've confused her with so many dollar signs all over the place, she goes for the MSRP of that Ruger American .22WMR, and she'll THANK YOU for being practical, and saving money. Hold my beer and watch THIS shiit happen...

Don't worry, we can work in this and polish it up...

That bipod, brother. But watch it - after you use that bipod, you NEED more of them. I'm not kidding on that...

DIP makes some great stuff for the smaller-caliber guns. I love those guys. Everyone needs that gateway drug, to turn them to the "next sickness" - you start to dabble in long range, and it'll fuk you up for life, brother...

@DNP is a Cookin' NINJA with tri tip. Gethim in here for some tips on it. It's unreal...

^^^ I'm with Merle on that. Once I went red dot, irons were backups.

^^^ That made me LOL!!!...

Seems this is pretty legit - I got my tracking number today. It ends tomorrow, the 16th, for anyone interested. I get emails from Olight now, but I don't mind them. I'll probably own more lights from them coming up, based on the serious discounts on other stuff that they've been emailing me.

That's completely "not uncommon," Cliff. That's why it sucks so much when they go.

Looks like I got lucky - the 19X sights are coming to me after all, at the end of the week... Thanks, LR-308!

You'll be more tired walking up the hill this fall, brother. We figured that out, and that's why we're doing it right away - for you, literally. Day 1 out there is High Angle. We thought about you and Susan, Larry driving back, Ron driving ALL THE WAY back... It's nobody's fault that Ron is turning into a pus$y and flying out from now on...

Badass vid from Falkor Defense...

I have that shiit down to a science, brother...
