I shoot SK standard, Rifle Match, long range, or CCI SV through a customized CZ457 w/Bartlein. They all average 1/2" at 50 and 1" at 100 for 5 shots. After 100 yards the clear winner is the long range and that's what I use for our local PRS matches. It'll make around 75% hits on a 20" gong at...
Thanks guys. Im fairly happy with it for now. The rifle was mainly built as a 1K trainer on steel. Saves barrel life and components on the 6 Creed and 7-300 Win Mag. But it will also see the occasional local PRS/MOA matches and I'll probably take it out some this winter and see how the 75g ELDMs...
Made it to the range this morning with the R700 223 Wylde, 28" Bartlein HV 8 twist. Loaded up 19 more rounds with the 80.5 Berger/24.5g N540 and did a 10 shot group at 100 and a 9 shot group at 300. By the time I got to 300, the last 4 or 5 shots the wind had picked up a bit and so did the...
I've got 100 virgin Lapua 300 Win Mag brass. I'd like to get $190 shipped.
I bought them to use in my 7-300, but they won't work without neck turning, and that's not something I'm looking to do or invest in right now.
1 case has been sized down to 7mm for measurements. After taking notes and...
Didn't draw anything, so I'll be doing general fall black bear and possibly a predation cow tag. Will be using the R700 7-300 Win mag with 180g ELDMs at 3000fps. 28" Bartlein w/4 port brake, A5 McMillan, and a NF NXS 5-22x.
How anyone gets a 125 yard shot on a president these days is beyond mind boggling. Then you have cops running around like ding dongs looking for the shooter on the ground, when the bystanders were clearly pointing and yelling on the roof...To me, it all sounds like everyone did nothing so it...
Looking good right out the gate. Shooting an accurate 22 is way more fun than it ought to be. It's not exactly cheap per se, but then again nothing really is these days is it? Still cheaper than centerfire, and every bit as fun! No time spent handloading, or replacing outrageous component...
As much as I love the 25/06, it just makes more sense these days to have a 6.5/06...It just does everything better. I'll probably do a 6.5/06 with a 26" tube after my 6 creed shoots out for a LR coyote/steel rifle. But then I have the brass issue...haha
Shot some 53g vmax over Benchmark and 73g ELDM over IMR8208XBR yesterday. Loaded the 53s to 2.260" and the 73s to 2.3" in ASC mags. These were the winners. Good enough for a gasser with Hornadys and throwing some loads together. Not going to mess much more with it. 1/2 MOA with an AR in my mind...
Meh, good enough for Hornady bullets haha. I've done just about all I can with em and this is the best I can do. I'm tired of messing with it already. Taken 150 rounds to get to this point. Ready to start having fun with the rifle now.
Loaded up 10 rounds to shoot a 10 shot group at 100 yards. Figured if it went 1 MOA or better I'd run with it. First 5 were a ragged hole, then had a couple stragglers, followed by the rest in the same hole. 8 shots went 1/2" with the other 2 making it .85" Velocity is 2975fps. I blame Hornady...
If you're getting 1 MOA 8 shot groups from factory ammo and a factory rifle than that's really good. You'll be able to get that from handloads, but it may take a little bit of work is all. Where is the target with 8 shot group at 1"? I must have missed it or didn't see it.
Never owned a 308...
Ok, that all makes sense now. Ya I'm not spending $90 on a mag either. Cavity back bullets is suppose to have some modified mags PRI I think that you can get out further, but they're out of stock most of the time. I think they're around $45-50 also. I can't remember how far you can get out with...
It's a national match free floated tube already. I bought it from a guy who used it at Camp Perry for a few matches. He guaranteed it to shoot 1/2 MOA as is because he's done it numerous times. He told me he took 2nd place with it. So with that said, I don't believe I'm handicapped at all with...
