Hunting and shooting thread

[srb08]

Anybody have any experience with Palmetto State Armory?
I picked this up used never been fired off a fellow that needed cash. I bought it without doing any homework on it because the price was right.

I've bought a lot of parts from them and my Nephew has a PSA AR15. The parts I've bought are good quality. My Nephew hasn't had any issues with his AR and really likes it.
Good people to deal with as well.

I probably built 20 of there kits , they don't shoot bad ether. Cheap fun way to get into ar's

I've discoved that oven roasted cajun spiced deer jerky is the best thing I've ever eaten. Downside Cannot get the recipe from her.

I'd say that stainless barrel is a 1:8 twist. If so it'll like 55gr bullets.

Yes it's a 1/8 twist.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Like others said, PSA is solid

If it's 1:8 it'll like mid 60's to 70's even better than 55's

One of my rifles absolutely loves 69 gr pills.

I thought that was 1:7 territory, my understanding anyway. Heavier the pill, more twist to stabilize is needed.

I reckon barrel length will come into play as well.

You check out the 300 blackout in the PSA link?

Plus hooray Echo cs670!!!

If this is your first ar you might want to invest in a ar15 chamber brush i think they are 3.50 on ebay im a cheapass so i shoot alot of steel case and clean the chamber before running brass case because of the residue other than that they are damn near indestructible.
Happy shooting.

1:9 is good for 55gr.

Yea, that's a good deal for a upper. Horray Trump and cheap AR's

To me, a 300 blk is low on my list. I can't hunt deer with that one here. I just picked up a 450 Bushmaster upper for deer. I got a 16" upper in hopes that the hearing protection act goes through. I'll suppress that one for hunting.

Maybe after that I'll get a 300



Horray Craigslist

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

I agree with you Ross on the heavier bullets. I had a Rock River with 1-8 and it love Hornady 75gr match. Very very accurate gun. Wasn't a very fast load, so i sold it and got me an 1-9 upper

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

Can you use .243 Ross?

Will do, Thanks

 

[Cut4fun]

Always wanted one of those , but had to settle on a bolt 223 for the right price.

 

[hoskvarna]

Got the mitey bull out this morning

Sent from Hoskvarna hills

 

[Czed]

any m&p fans out there you can buy a compact .40 for 350-360.00 from sportsmans guide if you sighn up for a 30 day membership plus ffl to your dealer. i also bought some 9mm factory barrels from midway and 9mm mags i handload and i like the versatility.

How much residue do you have in the chamber after shooting steel case ammo?
I've shot a lot of it in my AK's and haven't noticed a buildup of Lacquer in the chamber. I've read about buildup in AR's and have wondered why it occurs in AR's but not AK's.
A friend of mine ordered a bunch of Russian .223, thinking it was brass case. When it showed up, it was steel. He refuses to shoot steel case ammo and sold most of it at gun shows but gave me a couple thousand rounds that was left over.
I'd like to shoot the stuff in an AR, that's got a slide fire on it, but am leery of potentially creating a mess in the chamber.

 

[Czed]

Some guys won't use the factory 9mm barrels in a .40 because the hood is a few thousands smaller I've shot many thousands through a fullsize conversion no issue lockup is tight and accuracy is excellent. But I'ts not for everyone.

Tula is the only brand I've had a lot of build up with when we used to shoot idpa threegun i shot a lot of it accurate enough but dirty.

Keep in mind i bought i think 5000 rnds in 2013 so it's definitely older manufacture. Maybe they changed their process but sometimes the coating would flake off but I've gotten some good groups wi th it.
