    16" vs 24" .308 Win Velocity...

    Gavin did you justice by using a 1:8” out of a 16” bbl. so you’ll get two full revolutions before the bullet exits. I’ve always just fallowed that rule even though some people might not see it that way? Simple rule actually vs length of a bullet…. I’ve never been one to shoot a low SD...

    16" vs 24" .308 Win Velocity...

    Your first shot was spot on and would have been enough, but I completely understand your concern had it jumped the fence. Good shooting, cool rifle too! Which Tika is that? Looks like a low magnified Vortex 1-8?

    16" vs 24" .308 Win Velocity...

    Graven has really been working hard on getting into the gunsmithing business. He’s very astute, so anything he does I’m sure will be done very well! I’ve been following him for a number of years with his ultimate reloader YouTube videos. So you had him build you a new rifle? So why have we...

    SOLD: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle.

    I’m including a Redding Type S Match F/L die set and one Titanium bushing to the buyer of the 260 Remington, unless the buyer wants the Kreiger 308 Winchester instead?

    SOLD: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle.

    If somebody wants another cartridge other than a 260, I’ll take off $350 and keep the 7 boxes of Lapua brass and you can re-chamber the 27” barrel to another cartridge. 6.5x47 or a Creedmoor if you want. You’ll have at least 26.5” to work with.

    SOLD: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle.

    We’ll see if this works: Yesterday @ 378 unsupported rear, typical PRS type shooting position, elevated off the ground just about chest high. I shot the white flapper @ 370 , six rounds total the day before. Both days were with tricky winds. Yesterday I was able to get off all five in a row...

    Rifle scopes

    Well what started out two years ago is back up and running. I’ll add my two cents. Lately I’ve gotten back into hunting, and as such I haven’t changed what’s important in a hunting scope. #1 would be robust and repeatable tracking. #2 would be a WIDE field of view. #3 would be is the...

    .280 Rem. Mountain Rifle

    I think what Paul B. said is solid. If the first two are way off you’ll know you’re on the wrong track, and the third is the truth. A bullet never lies as they say. I prefer to see a triangle over vertical or horizontal no matter how big it is. That’s were you want concentrate your...

    SOLD: Short Action Customs 260 Rem. PRS Rifle.

    I bought this used from MHSA in October of 2020, not 2018. It is by far The most accurate rifle I’ve ever bought! I was told it had only 800-900 rounds through it. I used it for the next 4 years and had SAC install another 27” Hawk Hill MTU 1:8” .264 cal barrel in February of 2023 I had bought...

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    That’s a bummer, It was previously in stock there. I know it’s available locally because I just saw it there last week.

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    Twenty years ago I had a Hart barreled Wby. Vanguard 7mm08 that loved RL-15 with any 140 bullet! Which surprisingly is still available even today at Powder Valley, etc.

    Coyote loads for MPBR vs dial/holdover.

    Well that’s good to know that it’s not just me. Thank you for the reply.

    Coyote loads for MPBR vs dial/holdover.

    For some odd reason it won’t let me fully download the picture of the target. I’ll have to blame that on T-Mobile for selling off their cell tower they got from Sprint, which was 5G. Now it’s owned by Horizon LLC and over the last six months has been pathetically slow and only getting worse...

    Coyote loads for MPBR vs dial/holdover.

    I was testing that at distance to see why my Shooter App was not lining up with what was happening down range on steel. I had not accounted for a 1/2” high 100 yard zero in the App, and why I was shooting high the previous day.

    Coyote loads for MPBR vs dial/holdover.

    I shot thus ten round group at 250 W/O adding anything to the scope adjustment. It was shooting a half inch high at 100 yards. I wish I had not walked out after shooting 3 rounds, I didn’t want to find out the tall grass was effecting my POI. Which I don’t think they were, but I went to finish...

    How well does it shake out at the range on paper to distance?

    R700 223 Wylde/80.5 Bergers/N540

    I’ve had an Impact Precision sitting around for three years now that I thought I’d build a 22 ARC around a 1:7” Bartlein #3 contour in SS I also have. My only concern is that Hornady designed it for semiautomatic AR rifles vs a long throated bolt gun and I’m probably going to have to have...

    staBALL match powder

    It’s not Rocket Science. If you take the H2O capacity, a given bullet weight by caliber, the overall length of the barrel and which type of powder are you planning on using. You might know how it performs in other rifles you’ve tested and look at the data. BL-C2 is a prime example, super fast...

    35 Whelen or 9.3x62 and why?

    I remember that day when I walked into the LGS that had both the 700, and 7600 in 35 Whelen and walked out with the pump gun version. Not long after that I regretted not getting the 700 bolt gun since the pump gun I had wasn’t as accurate as I thought it might be….. I eventually sold it and...

    Speer 7mm 175 Deep Curl, and Hot-Cor Mag-Tips.

    I read that some people were saying that the Deep Curl bullets due to their jackets can sometimes produce pressure spikes? Has anyone used these before, and experienced anything weird like that? It’s stated that due to the jackets construction, and possibly why they discontinued these bullets?
