Midwest Industries is another option, on their earlier-generation handguards. With that, design-wise, would be Troy and Yankee Hill Machine, as well.

Nope, won't happen. When I did it, it was with RCBS dies, using the sizing die to crimp.

SS, what does the shoulder look like on the ones that were sticking? Not after firing, though - they'll fire form to the chamber dimensions. Reason I ask is... I got a little heavy with crimping on some of mine, and it actually pushed the shoulder down (out, somewhat). Those didn't wanna chamber well, and were mortared to get out.

Looks like that's the wrong rail on there - for the height difference. That gap ain't bad... AND!!! I wanna try that sauce!!!

My Fortis does just fine, and it's on the AP receiver set... It's a great rail, and doesn't suk in the least... The rail is in this thread:

Damn great article, brother. Good find.

There are very few 180s that you can even load to magazine-length. Most 180s, you can't. ^^^ He said it... Those .308" projectiles that go up to 225gr are for different calibers, mainly. Think 300 Win Mag, and the sort. Hornady DOES make a 198gr HPBT that you can load to mag length, and a 200gr ELD-X that you can load to mag length... Here's the 200 load data: ReloadingData308Win200grELDX.pdf A 1:10" twist should shoot both of those ^^^ just fine. The original, optimal twist rate for 175s from a gas gun was determined to be 1:11.25", by KAC, and used on the M110 production rifles.

NICS checks don't catch "intent." All the fukkers on that list had clean backgrounds and histories. Well, prior to losing their schit and doing what they did.

Lesson 65b!!!

My PA on the 45-70 is running fine, as of now...

It does fly different, just because of that penetrator. The guy's barrel you're working on is a 1:7"... Shoot some green tips through it after the work now, before making a determination on it's perfrmance of shooting it with 55s...

Smart decision, for a pistol. That's about circa...

The SS109 projectile is definitely different, and the best thing for it is the 1:7: twist.

For the record, most students DID qualify lower than they did at their home stations. BECAUSE of two issues... #1, the cadre were fucking idiots, and didn't realize how much of an impact a 55gr round has versus a 62gr round, over 300 meters - AND, we zero'd on the M16A1 Zero Target!... They just wanted to talk smack, and thought they were the only ones in the career field that ran an "honest range..." and #2, most students don't know schit about ballistics over a given range. Ammo is ammo, right?... It was a combination of a triple-Fukup. My AAR was not kind to the cadre...

MY BROTHER...

I went through this in 1991, through a "US Army NCO Professional Development Course." All the instructors were talking schit about the weapons qual portion, saying "we wouldn't qualify the same that we do at our home unit." They proceeded to ask every student what they usually qualify at, at home. Fukkin Expert, arsholes! Always! They bet me I wouldn't... I started asking questions, and they didn't have answers, but the only thing they would say is "We run it REAL here!" Alright, fuksticks... These dipshits were running M16A2 rifles and left-over 55gr mil ammo. No poop, it's gonna be off a little, over a 300m 40-round pop-up range. I still shot 40/40, Expert. They were puzzled... Afterwards, they got an education on ballistics, and a pretty intense After Action Review on how fukked up their weapons qualification portion of the course was, based on pure weapons idiocy of the entire cadre, the lack of the proper ammunition for the given weapons system, and pure cadre-cockiness. Not long afterwards, from reviews from people I kept in touch with, they were shooting the fukking green tip through the A2s for the weapons qual. Fukkin bastards, and their schit-talking...

Fire up those green tips and see if you have a point-of-impact change, same point-of-aim. It won't be the same as the 55s.

He ain't got no horns...

62gr green tip, was it? That's a completely different round, brother. It's the whole reason that M16 twist rates went from 1:9" to 1:7", from the M16A1 to the M16A2. EDIT - ***Tracers had an impact on twist rate change, too...***

I'm rollin' a Primary Arms red dot on a 45-70, initially just for a joke. After several of them on AR15s, I put one on my Ruger GSR, that kicked like a fukking mule from that 16" barrel, and it's still there, after 1k rounds. I wanted to see how long it would take to kill that red dot on the 45-70. After a little over 350 rounds of handloaded 405gr projectiles with 50.0 grains of IMR 3031 - which DOES kick like a mule - it's still there, fully functional. Now, after what you've said, which seems like an insult to all Primary Arms optics... How many of them do you own, and how many of them have failed on you?... Here's the one that's still alive on the GSR: Here's the one that is STILL alive on the 45-70...

Hell yeah, but the mainstream media downplays his knowledge, training and skills... Check this article out, then snoop the MSM and see what they've said... But Falconer has consistently been identified in the mainstream media only as as a “former police chief” and “off-duty police officer.” http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/09/19/man-shot-crossroads-mall-terrorist-uspsa-competitor-3-gun-shooter/ In the public eye, there's a definite difference "off duty police officer" and "avid firearms owner, firearms business owner, firearms trainer, firearms competitor..." Of which, Falconer was ALL of the above... That would hurt the public impression of "firearms owners..."

Yes, there certainly is. The key to finding it is Pulp Fiction...

I fixed that for ya, brother...

Comfortable with Mils for ranging? I plan on one of these scopes for my 338 Fed, and I've got the same one with a different reticle on a .308 Win Rem 700: http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-414x44-mil-mil-ffp-scope/p/pa4-14xffp/ Here's another mil-grid reticle setup, as well - I'm leaning towards this one, over the standard mil-dot one listed above: http://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-414x44mm-riflescope-rgrid-reticle/p/pa4-14xffp-r-grid/ I'd recommend the ACSS reticle, but the ranges (BDC hashes) will be off for the .338 Fed round.
