[Accurate 2520 and .308]

100 yards with Speer 125gr TNT-44.0 Accurate 2520-

I have no doubt as to the accuracy of this load-I do however doubt my ability to make myself more accurate with the tools I have at the range-

The 125 gr. stuff may be a little lite. 150's will probably group better. If your rifle is 1-12 it could work with the 125 gr. stuff

Yea-it's 1-10 so I guess I will find out tomorrow hopefully-

[I can't believe I made "THE" mistake again.]

Maybe soak it in a glass of milk-

[Accurate 2520 and .308]

Well I loaded 20 rounds with the Accurate 2050 with 125gr Speer TNT-

We will see exactly how bad or good 44.0gr will do-

[Accurate 2520 and .308]

So I am having trouble finding much info on Accurate 2520-

From what I have found it appears to be good in lighter .308 loads say from-150gr on down-

I was wondering if anyone here uses it and how you like it-

I used our search function and only found references from around 2014-

[Colt Python Combat Elite]

Very nice-In my humble opinion that barrel length is the perfect size-

Extremely tempting!!! I'd be prone to shoot 40 in it though. Have a bunch of 40, but no Big 10.

Wish it were the upgraded version though. Maybe anyway. lol

RIA does make a .40S&W barrel for that 1911-

I was tempted at one time to buy and try but since have rid all of my .40 ammo-

I ordered one on these today. https://www.defensedepot.com/product/rock-island-52009-rock-ultra-fshc-10mm-auto-5-161-black-parkerized-black-g10-grip
 

$453.81 total. Hard to believe the price.  I like the layout of this one. Thought about the “Tac” but didn’t really like the looks of a rail on a 1911 and would probably never use it. Same goes for the threaded barrel, would never put a suppresser on it so again pointless . Wouldn’t mind having the front groves but again would probably never use them anyway. 

 

That's a very good price-

50 or 100?  I was on the right side 100 yard range (not the concrete benches) from maybe 815-1115.  I was the guy who couldn't hit the floor with my 6mm AR 

Concrete benches-

Is that an AR wearing a hearing muffler device-if so I did see you when I was  leaving?

Were you at MSSA today?  I left there two hours ago.  

Yes-at about the same time-

I left there around 10:30-at the last rifle range on right-

4/26

40 More rounds and zero malfunctions and accuracy is still good-

Was able to move gas setting to number 2 and all went well-

Glad to hear no malfunctions, but 20 rounds total? May be too early to tell for sure. Hope you got a good one 

Not banging my brass up either-it's promising so far-

Will try to go Friday and run another 20 again--

[Ruger SFAR First Outing]

So I had the chance to visit the range this AM for my Rugers first outing-

It did real well-no malfunctions-eats any ammo-and is accurate with all weights I tried-

No brass wreckage and no malfunctions-this is going to hurt some of the Ruger haters-

I sighted it in at 100 yards with only 10 rounds and shot another 10 just for fun-

Doesn't recoil any worse than my 30-30 with 150 Interlocks-

I believe they call this 1 MOA-at 100 yards

 

Forgot to add ammo-

150gr Federal Power Point-

165 Federal Match-

170 AAC Match

All fed and extracted as designed-

The target is with 170gr AAC Match-

[What brand and where to buy 1911 mags?]

Also Metalform makes a good quality magazine for a reasonable price-

Is it .45acp or .9mm?

Wilson Combat are also very good mags at a higher price-their 47D's are very good but in the $30.00 range-if in .45acp-

Picked up my Ruger SFAR from Range USA-only took 6 days from the day I ordered it-

It is externally almost the exact same size as my AR15's-

Quite something how they are chambering a .308 in a small frame lower receiver-

So far I quite like it-will have to shoot next week-

I use 160gr FTX in my .300BO, good results.

Going to have to try that one day-

What powder are you using?

OK, I have to ask the dumb question. Have you used the FTX in 300BO loads? FTX is what I run in my 30-30. The 300 likes heavier bullets and sub-sonic loads but it's fun with lighter bullets.

No FTX but I sure do use the SST in 125 and 110gr-

Another bullet I found to work exceptionally well in .300bo is the Speer TNT in 125gr-

I also suggest that you buy ammo in bulk to save money. But be aware that right now most of the good Mil-surp stuff has dried up. If you do find some, make sure the headstamp bears the NATO cross on it. There's been some real garbage imported in the last few years including some fake Chinese junk bearing false headstamps. Do your research.  

I reload all my ammo that I can-

The trick is to find enough casings to start out-

I already load for .300BO  and 30-30 so I have quite a lot of .308 bullets-

I think a lot is going to depend on what happens in November. If Joe gets another term, gun sales are going to skyrocket as will prices. If you want one, now may be the best time to do so. 

But if you buy also consider going ahead and buying extra mags, ammo and accessories as they will also be going up if Joe wins.

Yup-went ahead and ordered a Ruger SFAR in .308-

Now all the goodies that have  to go with it-

I have taken the position over the past few years that if I think I might want it or need it in the future, I get it as soon as possible without paying a premium due to demand.  I figure, if I end up not wanting it or needing it, I can sell it (though this may get more difficult due to the increasing BS).  Prices probably won't go down in the future especially with inflation and even if I take a little hit selling it, it was worth it.

I believe we should all take this position with things like parts, magazines and other accessories as well.  People often forget about what it takes to keep something running after they purchase it.

I agree 100%-

I have enough parts to keep my AR15's going for some time-

But my Wife say's to go ahead and get it if I want-so there is that-

I may just buy one just so I put my anxiety to bed-

I guess a .308 is almost a perfect caliber for most any use up to including medium game hunting-

[AR10 Need VS Want{RUGER SFAR} Joined The Crowd]

So-How worried should a person be about the ability to purchase any type of semi-auto in the foreseeable future-

I would like an AR10 .308 but purchasing one now would be a look into the future-

I really don't have a need for something in this range considering I already have a nice Glenfield 30AS in 30-30-

What does the collective have to pontificate on this subject-

Inquiring minds want to know-well it's me actually-
