Re: Supressed home defense SBR???

Re: 220 grain bullets and 4227

At 9.2 grains, were you satisfied with the suppression you were getting? Again, thank you very much for your generosity. Noise is pretty subjective. I think my Omega is pretty awesome. My goal was to make one load that is suitable for both rifles. My AR has to cycle reliably and lock the bolt back ...

220 grain bullets and 4227

My AR is a DoubleStar Hunter AR-15 A3 Upper Receiver Assembly 300 AAC Blackout 16" Barrel 5/8"-24 Threaded Muzzle with Thread Protector on a DPMS lower. A Silencerco Omega was on throughout. http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae221/jfcisme/300%20Blackout/2017-04-30%2015.29.02_zpshqghlkpl.j...

Re: Car wash soap in your tumbler with stainless steel pins ??

Don't use anything with WAX in it to clean brass! The brass cartridge must momentarily stick to the walls of the chamber when fired! Otherwise the bolt thrust can increase to dangerous levels! I have found that Dawn and lemi-shine are such effective degreasers that I have excessive friction when I ...

Car wash soap in your tumbler with stainless steel pins ??

Greetings All,

On another forum someone said they used car wash soap with wax. I have always used dawn with lemi-shine.

Anyone have thoughts on this or do you use something else??

Have a great day.

Primary Arms makes a 1-6x that has an illuminated reticle and at 1x is great for CQB with both eyes open. I bought one for 3-gun and pai...
