Optima are over barrel. They don’t come back quite as far as dpt but very similar design. You buy an alok adapter for each BARRWL THREAD you want to use it on. Then you can transfer the suppressor...

If you have a decent budget have a look at the A-Tek optima line. Got mine from stager sports. The A lok system means you can use them on multiple rifles and the design/quality is up there with...

Put a dpt on my 308, What I like about it is that I can disassemble it, and it is modular. Since i dont care about ultumate suppression, I removed 2 baffles to save a bit of length and weight. ...

52.5gr should be a pretty safe starting point

Yeah Bruce I had a M18 in 223, was a very nice rifle, the long action magazine in 223 was its Achilles heal, other than that it was a really nice "buget" rifle, had a great stock, action & trigger. ...

If it helps IMR4831 is a close match for N560. There is some data here for 160g bullets that will give you a starting point: https://shootersreference.com/reloadingdata/280-remington/

N560 would be a good starting point as would N165. I've been using N165 with good success in a 280AI for years. Other powders (N560) may bring slightly higher velocities but I'm getting 2900 fps with...

Someone asked a question about this so I looked back at some old pics. I hunted the Ruahines a lot over the winters during the meat hunting era. By myself and with a mate. 45-50 odd years ago. ...
