[QUOTE="Samuel Johnson, post: 1819664, member: 108483"] My son and I, worked together, to build an AR-10. It was my rifle, so I chose a 7mm-08 Remington. Not because of the light recoil, but flat ballistics. the build uses a Cross Machine Took Company upper & lower. An Aero Precision standard weight bolt, not lightweight! the barrel, is the key, a 9.5:1 twist 22” X-Caliber stainless. It has no frills, standard barrel.the twist rate, allows heavy 7mm-08 bullets. I use 139 SST’s as the bottom weight, moving to 168’s. so far, the 100 yard accuracy, is touching homes, using 3 rounds. At 500 yards, it consistently hits a 24” steel plate. 1000 yards, same results,. It has hit ever target distance on first shot. now, I’m reloading, using 139SST’s as my starting point. Loaded 2 each, from low to high, recommended loads of IMR-4064. The 150’s are Lapua’s Scenar-L’s. The 139’s will be tested, soon as WX cooperates. [ATTACH type="full"]172270[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
