What? You're a TEXAN!!! I thought that was mandatory for y'all...

Measure the rear tang on your upper, and see if that thing is the DPMS-High or DPMS-Low upper. There's a 0.060" difference in the two. https://troyind.com/sites/troyind.com/files/rtc-attachments/DPMS_RECEIVERS_COMPARE.pdf

Yep.

Very, very sweet - I tossed up some info and a short vid in the Glock BBQ thread. I like it, ALOT...

That specific rear sight might be the issue here. Hate to say that, but try another rear sight setup. That's gonna be the only way to verify. You shouldn't have this much trouble with irons, and that's the only thing that I can see that might be the very reason for all this...

Is that an "F marked" front sight base? The numbers agree, but check it. Don't be afraid to crank that sight up = it looks pretty flush in the pics. It can go up. You also have an elevation drum on your rear sight. Hit that thing first - very first. Can it go down anymore? FORS. "Front Opposite, Rear Same." You can also search out this Bushmaster front sight post - see if it's taller than your KNS that you've got.

This is valid. In my "early days" of duning with these guys, she choked me out one year... She is no joke. I think I said something "smart," and I woke up in the bed of my own truck. The only thing I remembered before that was looking at her when I said it, and smiling when I said it... It must not have been funny...

This is the information thread. Only information, for Fall Shoot Attendees. Learn it, know it, don't show up stupid. Heed the words, click all the links to info, and get here, on location, ready. There's no babysitting going on, when people show up and say, "I didn't know THAT..." Uh, yeah, you shoulda... had you read before you left your patrol base...

Casa De Pain was BAD last year, man. I think these fuckers ambushed me into a full bottle of Jameson's the night prior. I swear I was ambushed...

Only TWO people know that pain, brother. Matt rode with him the first time, and daughter Kate muscled through it the second time. Rumor has it that Kate is coming back - glutton for punishment! She rides with THE TERMINATOR!!!

If you want slack... cut the rope, brother...

Nice picture of your steak, Mr. Wizard...

I think Dirk might have a full truck, with all the fliers looking for cheaper tickets in San Diego, instead of PHX. I know he's already hauling 2 extra people, that I know of, unless others have already made arrangements... Could fit one other guy in the cab, and a dude in the bed... or two int he bed, firewood dependent...

He fucked THAT one up...!!!

Then, you are welcome at Casa De Pain on Tuesday, then!

What did I leave out, Matt? What pertinent info has been left behind, brother?... Quote your heart away...

Don't EVER fucking forget this one, right here... @Matt.Cross

I've been running Hornady 178gr HPBT projectiles for all my longer distance .308 Win loads for a few years now. The sectional density is .268 and the G1 drag model BC is .530. Way better than the Sierra 175gr HPBT listed above, at .505 G1 BC. This load performs. For the SS18 event, Matt and I loaded up 50 rounds of Hornady 195gr HPBT rounds in the .308 Win, and we didn't get to shoot them. That's my .300 Win Mag projectile. Found a load in the Hornady 10 Manual that listed this projectile at a 2.800" COAL, under the .308 Win loading section, so we figured "WHAT THE HELL!!!" We loaded them, but didn't shoot any of them - we were "overcome by events" out there. The sectional density on that beast is .294 and the G1 BC on that 195-grainer is .550 - it'll be a better load, at distance, then even the 178s. It will leave the barrel a little slower, but it will get to the longer target in a more efficient manner. Get the correct ammo for the event, guys, if you plan on shooting it.

^^^ CLICK THAT AND MAKE IT BIGGER, AND READ IT...

Here's the primary reason I stated this, and why it's important for you to know. From a technology standpoint, I stepped up for the Spring Shoot this year, and we all grew in "capabilities" for distance shooting. MSRP: $820 range finder ($1,490 with Kestrel Sportsman) Street prices are closer to $700 for the rangefinder alone and $1,150 combined for the Kestrel bundle. I didn't pay nearly that, not even close, when I found the range finder on sale for $299 (with a 30% back promo running from Bushnell at the time, making the thing $200) and $360 for the new and improved Kestrel 5700 Sportsman... I killed this deal, and jumped all over it, and had it rushed here before SS18. We didn't even know the capabilities of it yet during SS18, as it all arrived the day prior to the shoot... Here's the last shot we computed through it, during SS18 - this was for the 12.5" Grendel, too. 10 mils of drop at 846 yards... ? If you know your ammo data, I can input it into this system, and we can make long distance shots MUCH easier. You need to find that data. You need to bring that data. We will input that data. This will shortcut everything on Long Range day, and aid in your shooting. It's not a "replacement" - but more of an aid in getting what's really going on with your gun/ammo. We will perform "ballistic truing" on your hits, and come up with the real DOPE on your scope. If you know your load, and you can send me that data ahead of time, I can build your profile before you get here, and have it in the menu to select, on the Kestrel. Ready to go. This is an unreal advancement in capabilities, it's just nuts... Here's a bitchin' article from Recoil Magazine on the technology available, and this combo is in it.
