That’s outstanding! I’ve heard from friends and have seen similar results from StaBall powder, especially in the compact and highly efficient cases like the 6.5CM and hopefully the .308 as well.

Has anyone done any experimenting with factory ammo and the true velocities they get compared to factory published velocities? Are there any brands or brand of ammo makers that live up to their published velocities? What about hand loading? Can I expect to get close to published velocities of...

Thats nice looking! Thanks for the advice and idea!

Yes, it’s an Sig Sauer 3-9x40 Buckmasters BDC scope. I didn’t have a bag to rest at the rear of the stock, so I improvised and used an old rolled up towel that I had laying around, and when I was shooting, I did the shooters 3 point stance at the bench. Thank you for the videos, they quite...

Thank you! Yeah, I hadn’t thought about painting the stock. That’s a good suggestion.

The great thing about the American Rifle is that I won’t worry about taking it to the field hunting with it. If the stock gets dinged, or scratched, it’s not a problem to me, not like the M77’s I used to own, where they had nice wood, and I would hesitate going through the brambles with them...

You’re welcome

You’re absolutely right about everything you said!

Yes, I do have pics of it. Warning before looking, it’s all factory stock. Nothing great to look at, but I will post the pictures of it. The ammo I used was Winchester 150 gr Super X.

I have a Ruger American Rifle in .308, with a 22 in barrel, 1 in 10 inch twist. It shoots 8 shots into an inch using factory ammo. My question is this, the factory velocities are from a 24 inch minimum spec barrels with, I’m thinking, 1 in 12 inch twists. What kind of velocities can I expect...
