Hello to all of you.   This is an awesome forum that I can not believe I have not found until now.

You are all very professional in your posts and hopefully I will meet your standards as well. 

I found the forum looking for loading knowledge and experience for a pair of 308win rifles I just built for my brother and I.  They are based on the DPMS LR-308 but have JP internals and Super Match barrel.  Factory ammo shots great, but handloading males it an intimate experience. 

We have been shooting and loading for years.  Our favorite is the 17 Mach IV (now the 17 Fireball).  But we put a lot of copper downrange from our 223's.  Osama & Obama gave us the kick in the pants to get a 308 auto before Hillary & Biden had their way.  Could not be happier that we did.
