Some competitive shooters wil pre-load large quantities of match ammo, seat them long and bump back the morning of the match.
There is a product called Neolube that is used to prevent galling of stainless threads. Colloidal graphite supported in isopropanol. Dries rapidly. It can be applied to...
I've loaded for 7-08's in the following rifles: Sako A-II, Finnlite, Rem Model 7, Nosler 48 Heritage, and most recently a H-S Precision 2000 sporter. All with sporter weight barrels and 140 gr bullets. The two powders that I found worked well were I-4350 and WW 760. Depending on the rifle, 2800...
One or two 3 shot groups is not a statistical credible sampling. Perhaps the three shot groups are the true precision for this load.
What type of wind flags are you using?
If you prefer 3 shot groups, shoot five groups with each load and take the average. An average of ten groups would be a...

I would favor the 308. I have had a couple 6.5 cms and just rebarreled one of 308's to the 6.5 cm. However, my most recent rebarreling was a 308 win Brux at 22" on a deer rifle. Shot both in good match rifles but prefer the 308. You can't load 180 gr RN in a 6.5 for woods work like you can in a 308.
Winnie vs Winchester
Leupy vs Leupold
Remmie vs Remington
Running vs shooting
Stick vs rifle
....maybe I'll never be one of the cool kids. The slang on the web makes me nuts.

I'll jump on this one.
I'm going to put wheels on my rifle so I can "run" it instead of shooting it...........saves ammo by not collecting statistical valid precision data.
I'm replacing my trigger with a light switch so my rifles precision can be described as "lights out" and I don't have to...

I’m a little late coming to this thread but have been following it with many thoughts that I think would be of value to the topic. I read Europe’s last post and agree with her latest decision.
I married a woman 15 years ago that came from a male centric family that excluded her from the “man”...
Good work. That's a big coyote. What do you estimate his weight? I just shot this one from my deer stand a couple weeks ago. It was probably 35 pounds.
The Model 71 Winchester is one of the finest Browning designs to ever come out of the Winchester factory. IMHO, pre-64 Winchesters were the pinnacle of American Firearm craftsmanship. Hand fitting of all milled parts resulted in a solid feel of workmanship like no other. I don’t have a Model 71...
This topic and thread strikes a very sensitive chord for me. I have been disgusted by the “Hunting” programs to the point where I no longer watch them. A pet peeve with me has always been the “long range hunting” concept. I am going to make a statement that is not meant to disparage stand...
Currently hold F-Class Mid-Range Master shooting a 308 in F-TR, 600 yard. Started in smallbore 4-position. Tried High power silhouette, service rifle XTC with a garand, the Garand match, and other local club matches. Kind of got more fun out of informal club matches with hunting rifles than...
Flaigs was a top level gunsmithing shop in one of the Pittsburgh, PA suburbs. I have posted copy of their catalog that I got in 1973. The prologue in the catalog talks about 40 years of service to sportsman. I do know that they were there prior to WWII as my grandfather would take me there to...
