Does the owners manual state what .223 cartridge (e.g., grain wt. and velocity) and scope Mag that the BDC is calibrated to?

Don't know! When the scope arrived it seemed like it has been used and I returned it back. They were kindly enough to take it back.

I honestly cant remember but it is a great scope I can look when I go home. I plan on buying another one for another AR

Outstanding optic. Have two, one on my Armalite A-31 (.308) and another on a S&W; M&P; A-10 (.308). Great sight picture and the BDC is for a 168 grain BTHP match bullet. I load the Sierra 168 BTHP bullet for both weapons. These scopes each have over 500+ rounds thru the weapon and work great. This optic will work well with your DPMS.

use the richard lee loader manual, or load info enclsoed with dies etc. Each powder has different cc factor.. there is a chart that gives a multiplier factor applied to load data grains and gives the cc and recommened lee powder scoop for that load.

A brilliant scope! But this ones reticle, especially the bullet drop compensation (BDC) is layed out for cal. .223 rem! According to the scope itself it is best used on a M4 or a m249

The BDC is not etched in glass. These scopes are calibrated for 5.56/.223. You can see more pictures of this and other Scepter scopes at our website. We will work to add this to our Amazon listing. Thanks!

It's an import from China, I loaded 300 precision 22-250 cartridges last winter, (nearly sold gun because it seemed wore out due to very poor accuracy), turns out scale fluctuated .8 grain. I trickle all my precision loads and thought it was odd that my powder measure was like that. I used my RCBS scale to check after disassembling some of the loads. I have a lot of practice rounds now. I can't think of a good use for the Hornady scale now.

I have mine mounted on a Savage 223 and works fine. I also have a P-223 on a Marlin 30-30 and also works perfect. Both are extraordinary scopes and very clear image. The M-223 should work well with your 270. BDL drops are great for different distances.

Bought mine on sale 2 yrs ago at Wally's. Came with .177 and .22 barrels. Easy enough to check - just open the box!...Recommend you replace scope. I swapped for a Barska 2-7x32 Air Gun Scope. EXCELLENT pellet gun for the money, especially with a better scope mounted. Really nice wood furniture too. Using wadcutter pellets, I can hit a bottle cap mounted SIDEWAYS - OFFHAND at the 10 meter competition distance on a regular basis!!! To the reviewer who said it was a piece of junk - suggest he read the break-in period info and practice a little more. :-) Performance smooths out at about 300 rounds during which time, I found that wadcutters work best for mine - YMMV.

I would go with the P308 Nikon scope. It will give you the proper BDC for that projectile. Same scope, just designed for the 308 , you will not be sorry . I have one on my a r10 and it is spot on, (i do realize the pun there)

Both of those cartridges are known for having very flat trajectories, but there would be a small difference at shorter ranges that would begin to show up more at over 200 yards or so. It you AR15 is really accurate, I would go for something more appropriate, but if it is not, it would work as a "Do-For". I would check the ballistics on Hornady or any other good site to see what to expect in terms of trajectory difference at various ranges. Good luck, JBPSI was assuming that your AR15 was chambered for the 223, but it may not be, so as Mr. Moen pointed out, there could be quite a bit of difference in trajectory. In that case, buy an appropriate scope.

On the Dillon website it shows what all you get with the basic set. One caliber conversion kit of your choice, but no dies. I bought the basic press w/no conversion kit and ended up spending $350-400 more on upgrades. Mine is set up just like the RL550B on their website with blue roller handle (a must in my opinion), the mounting stand for extra height, a bullet tray, and extra plastic catch tray for finished rounds. I would recommend the spare parts kit (stock# 20048) also.

For the BDC reticles to work properly, the scope needs to be zeroed at 100 yds. That being said, experimentation on your own at different distances may provide other workable solutions.

Hi-Yes- The reticle has mil-dots on the left and right horizontal and upper vertical. The lower vertical has BDC. Just to let you know that this is the only scope I have ever had that was dead on out of the box at 150 yards on an AR15 platform.. Love it
