Perfect. If you saw above.....45.0 gr, 165 gr accubond for me. I like varget for 223 as well as 308.



I always used 168 VLD's for long-range, 2750fsp. I think I used 52 grains Varget, but not sure without looking it up.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

 I absolutely love hunting with my ARs,
This was a Christensen Arms CA10, suppressed, in .308, 1 shot with Hornady SST (at 50yds) put him down.
 The night before my buddy killed his moose with a S&W M&P .308 at about a 100yds.

I'll be finishing out the deer season the next couple of days hunting blacktails in the timber w/ a DPMS 308.

I've only hunted with my Rock River 223 for vermin and that's it. A dealer down here has a 30.06 and a 308 for sale. About $1400 each. I was wondering about the 30.06. Anyone ?

30.06 was a Diamondback or something and the 308 was a Sig, I think. I really didn't pay attention, the guy just pointed over his shoulder.

@Mongo Hunter

Build sheet I believe is on page 8. I changed the scope mount out for a Spuhr.

Thank you for the tag. you're actually pretty spot on with what I want. sounds like Aero bought/joint with BA so I think all their uppers come with the BA barrels now. The one gripe I'm hearing out of the Aero AR10's is the trigger, sounds like you solved that one too. THANK YOU!

Considering a 450 Marlin AR-10 in the future - experience?

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

ASI does 450 marlin builds and very accurately it appears.

I know very little about the AR platform...other than it being super scary and fun to shoot.  For a close range weapon, a plain jane 308 would suit any hunting need I'd have.  Having a belted big bore would be more awesomer though  :tup:
