Re: Eotech LBC2 Available Anywhere?

Eotech LBC2 Available Anywhere?

I keep seeing write ups about the Eotech LBC2 but cannot find any of the normal vendors on the web that even have it for sale. Anyone have a clue where one might find one available? Thanks...

"To date, my reload accuracy has been disappointing."

I also use a defunct freezer filled with dirt as my shoo...

Re: New to 300 blackout. Good plinking bullets?

"Basically I can use any .308 that will fit in an ar mag?"

No, not any .308 that will fit a AR mag will work. It has to have the proper profile/shape to slide up the feed ramp easily when it is fed from the magazine into the chamber.

Re: Handload problem or short barrel problem?

Re: Testing BlackoutBrass.com's 247gr cast 300 BLK bullets

When Missouri Bullet Company came out with their 245 grain bullets for the 300 Blackout months back some of us tried them out and found them too soft for our application.

Re: Getting started with 300BO reloading

There are already literally hundreds of posts on load data depending on the bullet weight you want to use. Lots of A1680 loads for 200+ grain bullets.
