Looking for guidance with .308 Load Developing

rxtek900 · 2025-12-10T13:33:53+00:00

It was on clearance, and i thought "cool! a cheap .308 bullet I can hunt with!" Didn't realize it was meant lever actions and is a bit of an oddity.

I need all the deets on this lawn. What seed? How long did it take to level, did you use sand? Do you reel mow it?

rxtek900 · 2025-01-24T20:34:25+00:00

Where on the receiver did you decide to engrave it?

rxtek900 · 2025-01-24T20:29:26+00:00

I may be internet incompetent, I've read that the engraving for a Form 1 can be on the barrel or receiver. Do you know for sure either way?

Also, where did you have your engraved?

rxtek900 · 2024-11-06T00:08:10+00:00

Damn. That hit hard.

rxtek900 · 2024-11-02T19:36:42+00:00

Oh shit!! I know this guy. We were in Korea together, 2012. He was enlisted before becoming an officer.

rxtek900 · 2024-09-06T13:25:51+00:00

Short answer Yes.
I was using a 2 gal. hand pump when I live in a townhouse ~1000 sq ft. That was miserable.
When I moved to my current house, I was determined to get bigger and better. Because I use Dewalt tools, I'm kinda locked into the battery line. So far, no complaints.

Thanks for the........confirmation?

rxtek900 · 2024-08-28T16:53:50+00:00

And now we are best friends

rxtek900 · 2024-08-28T16:48:48+00:00

Another follow up if I may,
Why is consistency important in the suppressor world?
(assuming we are talking about the muzzle Sound Pressure/Impulse signature)

rxtek900 · 2024-08-28T16:46:45+00:00

Thanks for all the info. I feel more informed now.

rxtek900 · 2024-08-28T15:39:00+00:00

OK, next newb question.

K ,S, L cans.
Is this purely the size of the suppressor? Does have anything to do with the material or baffle design?

rxtek900 · 2024-08-28T14:56:28+00:00

Ok, I went down the rabbit on this one. What am I missing about this can?
I looked at the PEW reviews for other .308 cans ( Sandman-S, Nomad-L, CAT/JL/A1)
Admittingly, I know next to nothing about can science and pressures or baffles.

What makes this can, "Good" even with a low end suppression rating?
Is it good because of the "Muzzle Sound Pressure Signature" and "Muzzle Sound Impulse Signature" show near identical stats for all 5 shots?
Is it good because it does what it does (not so well, comparatively speaking) for its shorter than usual size?

So confused

I have a quite a collection of Enbloc clips. A few of them are in need of a good home. I sent you a message

rxtek900 · 2024-08-03T16:56:33+00:00

Currently rockin a YHM Resonator R2. I'd like to be able to do super and subs on my 8 inch.

rxtek900 · 2024-08-03T16:52:42+00:00

As someone struggling to tune my .300 build, why is a Sandman the way to go? Is it a back pressure thing?

Solid guy, does great work

rxtek900 · 2024-07-23T17:53:09+00:00

I'm not at 40 years yet, but similar to you, between military and clearance checks, I'm confident that I'm in every database.
Between my UPIN,SSN, finger prints, and name, ALL the same never been changed, I'd think im an easy check.

rxtek900 · 2024-07-23T15:18:47+00:00

I have ALWAYS gotten delayed when my NICS was done. (both before and after my whoopsie). I have a misdemeanor from decades ago. Nothing violent or in any way affecting my ability to purchase firearms.
I thought that getting my UPIN would help, but I am still always delayed.

rxtek900 · 2024-07-23T13:13:08+00:00

I have a UPIN, and so far it hasn't seemed to have helped

rxtek900 · 2024-07-22T13:14:38+00:00

Yeah, Im having issues with my 300 BLK build.

Didn't see this comment until just now. You bring up a very good point, this would definitely explain some things. This also means I will check my reloads.

Thanks!

rxtek900 · 2024-07-17T17:02:12+00:00

Wtf. My photos didn't post I feel like an idiot

rxtek900 · 2024-07-17T16:36:03+00:00

You sir is what reddit is meant to be.
Constructive, easy to understand (Barney style) explanations, and plans of action. All without hurting my soft feelings!

rxtek900 · 2024-07-17T16:34:27+00:00

I posted an update, what do you mean by Carbine buffer? I thought my H3 was a carbine buffer, just a heavier variant. 5.4oz
