  That's one of those things that you'll only do once. :rofl:

  Try the Dolomite kit with a lower powered hammer spring. I normally use the Geissele triggers.

  Some of those loads should be called the 300 DOLOMITE :). You have turned it back into a wildcat :)

Come on down. BTW... I hope you're cured of Democrats. We sure are.

  Yep. Definately need a group picture before they get distributed. :)

  You saw that I was trying to stir it up a little more :)

  They're not

  We're building AR's. Not sure you're jacking the thread.

I haven't played with my Blackout much. It likes a 16" barrel. I'm using H110 powder, which is real fast for a rifle. I don't think there's enough case capacity to go much slower. I'm thinking that a longer barrel might not help much. Dolomite can add to this. He has played a lot more than I have. Here's my 125G Nosler load. Note that 98.3% of the powder is burned with a 16" barrel.

  Mid-length won't work. AAC still maintains that carbine length will work for super and sub in factory loadings. It won't have the flexibilty of Gordon's gun, but there are still lots of carbine length gas systems out there. Mine is carbine length. I haven't shot any subs yet, but expect to find a sub load or two that will work. Mine rocks on a wide range of super loads.

  Yep. Good thing MacGyver is a smart guy. Some logistics to work out.

I read a bunch of Lamar's comments before I saw this thread. Nearly 900 pissed off folks. AFIK, they have another chance to filibuster this crap. One thing's for sure, they're getting a good idea of how they better vote from now on.   I haven't been able to bring myself to hit the Like button on Corker's page, so I haven't seen that one yet. Guess I should go ahead and do it. The comments on Lamar's page are a hoot.

  I think you'll see velocity increases up to 28" with a Grendel. It's derived from the 6.5mm PPC. If I go with that caliber, it will be a minimum 20" barrel, and may even go longer. Of course, it will get heavy with those long barrels. My 24" .223 isn't an off hand shooter. I think it weighs in at 14 lbs with the heavy stock and scope.

Come on down. Your home state has lost its mind.

Great! Where can I get some of that optics tape?

  Yeah. TDR built one and did OK. I just won't start one until the parts are flowing. I'm an idiot, and my OCD will push me into paying higher prices to finish the build :)

I like the soe stuff. The extra webbing is a plus too. Looks like it might generate more sweat.

  I have plenty of AR's. I'm not going to pay stupid prices. These lowers will sit in the safe until the big eared commie bans them first.

I think a topped out Dillon 650 is as good as you're gonna get for volume. It's also expensive. So far, I don't need that kind of volume. Maybe one of these days. I stay way ahead on ammo with just my auto indexing turret. Still loading a couple of things single stage.

  Yep. I gathered that. Lots of folks like their stuff. I just need something to hold mags. Not tooling up for a fight so much. May even go with something cheap like this...   http://www.dlsports.com/ar15_mag_pouch.html

  .458 isn't near as easy as a 300. It requires a special bolt, and the ejection port on the upper receiver has to be opened up. I bought an assembled upper. The 300 just slaps together, because the only difference is the barrel.

  I really like the 300, but wind drift is gonna kick your butt at long range. Too slow for me. Needs a bigger fire under it.

  If you're headed that way anyway, there's not much difference in ammo cost between the .458 and the Blackout. .458 brass is more expensive, but it lasts almost forever. More powder too, but the bullet cost is similar.

  Simple... start reloading. There's no sense paying factory price for BLK either. I bought 200 rounds of BLK when I first got the rifle, and loaded everything else with converted .223 brass. If you ever start reloading, you'll kick yourself for not starting sooner. Right now, you can't find the ammo anyhwere, and I'm swimming in it.
