You guys have all the fun heating barrels on those AR's, I'm sitting here waiting for 30 lbs of lead to heat up for casting some 750 grain grease groove 50-90 Sharps rifle bullets. Too bad Woodrow isn't closer. You guys could tell each other a few good stories, waiting for that lead to get hot. Hey Gunner, you took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up here.... Ha ha... Take a look at my new scope (Trijicon 4-16x50): You should shoot this challenge with us... "Black rifle", not black powder...

LOL, nice looking setup and scope BSA, I like the little AR's, they are loads of fun, but I'm not much of a hand with them, hey, nothing wrong with finishing last in a challenge, as long as I finish.

Thanks buddy, I've been having a blast with my new AR's.... Burning up a lot of reloading components though. I was cleaning out my shop the other day and had 3 empty jugs of AR comp sitting there...

That's the reason we work the way we do. Work, then burn it up with play ;] 100 of those 750 gr 50-90 Sharps bullets weigh better than 10 lbs.

I really wish photobucket didn't crap out on us. I really enjoy this thread and enjoyed going back and looking at the pictures!!! I'm doing a little research on which 30mm mount to get on my left hand stag for my new Trijicon 4-16x50 and going back to look at pictures to see what you guys use is helpful info..

Hard to beat the Badger Ordnance uni mount for the money. That or a Geissele, Nightforce, or Seekins mount would be my pick.

I like the PRI mount. 1.3" center line and extends forward a decent amount. Make sure it is high enough for the bell of your scope.

Thanks Barry, I'll check that one out. I actually orderd a Aero Precision to try. I like the Burris PEPR mount, as that's what I use on all of my other rifles. I used to use a Leupold Mark II on my lefty stag and it worked great. The problem I have with the Burris type is the lockdown nuts are on the port side and the dust cover doesn't open all the way. I guess it's not a huge problem, I just don't wan the mount to interfere with function and ejection. The Aero precision gets good reviews, but I'm wondering how strong it is. It's pretty light at 3 oz's. I want durability and strength, not necessarily concerned about super light weight. Honestly, I would have even consider another Leupold (30mm) if they would sell one that is blacked out. The god awful white lettering is Hideous. I know they are proud of their products, but come on we don't want this chit to stand out like a sore thumb. It's tacky, not tactical....

Look at American Defense's line of mounts, but all the mounting hardware is on the left side. I like the Recon quick detach series a lot.

I'm having a hard time picturing that, or how they would keep it from opening all the way, since the dc hinge is at the bottom.

MM I just sold my QD recon. It was a damn solid mounting system. Don't like QD though...

Maybe on your left handed rifle it does, but mine doesn't, It hinges up...: I really don' think it will interfere with ejection. But, just want to be safe and sure... I also ordered another Leupold Mark II mount. The last one seemed to work great.

Ah, interesting. Yours is the left handed rifle though, not mine. Normal ARs are set for right handed shooting and the ejection port flips down.

Didn't plan on this attempt but found myself with a full mag after some load development with the 73gr ELD bullets. This was my critter/steel target ammo, a 75gr Hornady BTHP over 24gr of TAC in bulk cases. It's always been fairly accurate in all my AR's so I know I can load it up quick and get decent results. Not my best results by any means but I am happy given the short time it takes to load them up. I didn't have any calipers but it was about 1.2 MOA or just a hair under.

The 73’s with the same 24gr charge we’re going 2800. Still trying to find the sweet spot with those though.
