The load was on the weaker side. They shot well nonetheless. All fed without a problem. Two failed to lock back after the last round however. I did use a chronograph, but I didn’t use it correctly – I’m going to have to go to a range where I have more room. I think it’s a safe bet to up the load a little bit. Maybe by two 0.2 grains and see where I am at then.

ZHK: Very useful information.
Derek: No dust cover - OEM. Their MG4 uppers do, though.
Bronson Coles: did the upper you instaled have a dust cover on it by chance?
The Hunting Cave: Nice post. Knowing the parts is informative. This Ares Defense SCR looks awesome
Kailyr perry: Leave you post private me and others. Love are local spot and rather it stay a secret as you noticed…
Carl Sharp: Thanks for the advice. I hunt out back of my house witch is 90percent wooded. I been using a 444marlin…
Derek: Good question, Carl. I suppose that might depend on what you consider long range and your budget.…
Carl Sharp: i just purchased a 308 model 788. its like new condition and I was wondering how i should set it…
You can’t just jump TWO GRAINS! Maybe two/tenths of a grain… If you jump two full grains, you’ll blow your hand off.
230 grain bullets (.45?)? I use 5.3 grains of 231.
lol… you’re right… I meant. .2 grains.
Glad they worked well! Did the Job thing work out?
I played around with some 45 rounds today as well. I’m a Unique lover- but that 231 has nothing but good things said about it.
I haven’t heard anything about the job. He said that they were going to do the background check and I should have heard by Friday.
Given any bureaucratic system, I think it was delayed as a result of the holiday weekend. I may not hear anything until later this afternoon, or Wednesday.
I wanted to try out Bullseye and Titegroup, but they didn’t have any on my trip out to the store. I’m trying out Unique in the .38 spl for now.
I used Unique in my first loads ever. I fired about 150 of them through a Ruger SP 101 and the cylinder locked up. Is there something “dirtier” about Unique?? Or maybe it was because my Unique was 10 years old?
I’ve heard it’s a very dirty powder. Some say it’s like a half step up from black powder. Given my choices at the time – I figured, “Why not?”
