Pathfinder2041 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have been a long time proponent of the AR 10 and just made the plunge with a MK 216 from Primary Weapon Systems. The rifle has been a joy to shoot so far, and my round count overall is approaching 500 rounds. The rifle is intended for hunting in the fall, and I will be working up loads with 130 grain TTSX, 150 grain SST, and 145 grain Lehigh Defense Controled Chaos bullets. So far I am able to get a hair over 1 MOA with the TTSX and I am still looking for an accuracy node for the SSTs. SO far, TAC is the powder that I am using, but have Benchmark and CFE 223 just in case. Handloading for accuracy is a great time killer and keeps me occupied! Hello to the collective and be safe at the range!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Welcome, and sweet rifle! The newer forged receivers look nicer than my earlier revision's SI-D ones.Drop an H3 buffer in there for even better recoil reduction! BTW, I never have to run the gas block more open than position two on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Welcome from AZ ! I use to live there.Don't miss the rain. Never saw a deer during hunting season just all the time the rest of the year. What is the twist rate of your barrel ? I ask because you are shooting lighter weight projectiles.

MikedaddyH Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) 16", 1:10168grhpbt MatchKing and 165grhpbt GameKing are some of the most accurate bullets for the 1-10" twist barrel. Thanks Farkle for stepping up. Edited June 8, 2015 by MikedaddyH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unseasonably strange, for this time of year. You should just be ending your "100-days-straight-of-rain" season about now... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
