He had the leg of a newborn calf in his mouth. In a trot, 300 yards in 15 mph wind. I'll take it!

The leg he had in his mouth was detached from the calf. The only reason I knew it was a newborn is that I walked by fresh afterbirth.

If I can help it, I never let a coyote or hog get a pass.

BigPig, one shot one kill of course. wink

Built, wired, damn good place to work. Now I need to move all my equipment from the shop at home up there and get it all set up. Bet it's winter again before I call it done.

Nice...I hate coyotes. We were a lot better off back when anyone could shoot them on sight anywhere.

What's the details on your rig and ammo?
Posted By: J.G.

Re: Three oh eight, it's what's for dinner - 02/28/16 03:57 PM

DPMS Recon, 16" stainless barrel, Timney single stage trigger, Syrac adjustable gas block, Tiger Shark suppressor. Currently has an SS 5-20 MIL/MIL, but I'm planned to switch over to a Burris XTR II 3-15X.

155 gr Sierra Tipped Match King, 2600 fps MV

How does the .308 AR platform (16" or 18" barrel) perform at longer distances 500-800 yards? Assuming 1-10 twist with a 175-178 grain match bullet?

Re: Three oh eight, it's what's for dinner - 02/28/16 06:23 PM

My thoughts were it would be too slow out of the gate. The 175-178 gr is my go to .308 bullet, for a long barreled bolt action. But since the AR makes less velocity, and the 16" barrel makes less velocity. I needed to give the bullet some speed back. The 155 TMK is a miracle in that it has a high BC for as light as it is.

175 SMK, G1 .495
178 A-Max, G1 .500
155 TMK, G1 .518

So I've got a BC of .518 coming out of the barrel significantly faster than a G1 of .500 would be. That is a win, win.
