[AR-10's]

Another vote for DPMS.

Bought the AP4 last year, and it will shoot under MOA with Varget over 168 AMAX.

Completely reliable also.

[.22 conversion]

Thanks, I look forward to hearing the results.

[.22 conversion]

Thanks for the info, Henning. I would have thought more people had tried the .22 upper. I know it doesn't simulate recoil, but it sure seems like I could save alot on ammo by doing a good bit of training with the 22. I may go ahead and get one and see if I can fix it to where it's not a jamamatic.

[.22 conversion]

Does anyone know if the Witness 22 conversions will work, or can be made to work on the Elite Match guns?

[Hornady A-Max in 308]

I shoot nothing but the 168 AMAX in my DPMS carbine.

I put it over 41.7 grn of Varget to an OAL of 2.800.

IF I do my part it will shoot .5 MOA, I also crimp it with a Lee Factory Crimp. Also, use it for deer hunting and am very satisfied with it's performance on a live target as well as paper.

[Spring Weight]

The match with it's straight barrel is slightly (very slightly) different recoil from the Limited 40 which I shoot.

My loads are 180 / 4.6 of Clays, OAL 1.18" and I use a Wolff 10lb spring.

Here's what I make available on my shop and how I've separated the spring weights etc for various loads:

Thanks for the info, I just didn't want to beat my frame apart.

[Spring Weight]

I'm hoping someone here can help. I have a Witness Elite Match in 40 S&W. My question is, should I replace the factory spring with something lighter, if so, how much lighter. I used to shoot bullseye and we used seperate springs for different loads. I'm sure this isn't much different, I just don't now what the limitations of the gun is, nor what is safe. I don't want to beat my gun to death by using to light of a spring. These are the loads I'm using. Thanks for the help.

I use a minor load of

3.5 titegroup

180 grn xtp

1.135

major load

4.2 titegroup

180 grn xtp

1.180
