Curious what you folks do in competitions - when you have your dope, do you adjust your turrets for each target or do you prefer to use holdovers?

I didn't pay attention at the last competition to what my group did - I did holdovers as it seemed quicker and I have a reticle that will account for it.

Unless I was really familiar with my optic and adjusting, I think holdovers would be easier/quicker than worrying about going a click or 3 too far. I was surprised just how quickly those two minutes go by when you're looking for the targets. :D

SOLD Vortex Strike Eagle FFP 5-25x56. Mil. EBR-7C

Basically new

I have mounted it, but it’s never left the safe. Never been out to the range or shot. So basically new, in the same condition that a new one would be after you mounted it

These scopes are very nice and the glass is excellent. In all but the most challenging conditions this scope will keep up with the best.

What’s in a screen name

Simple question, cause I see so many and wonder what the story is. What does your screen name mean.

Mine is simple, it is my nickname throughout a lot of my life. My last name is Cogburn, and I grew up in Arkansas really close to Ft. Smith and Judge Parker’s court. The 98 is the year I joined Uncle Sugars chain gang

30-06 and 190-208 grain bullets powder selection?

I have a 30-06 I put together with a Remington 700 action, has a 26” tube heavy barrel 1-10 twist.

I’ve got some 190 grain Berger VLD hunting bullets and 208 grain ELDMS I’ve got 99 rounds of fired formed Norma brass that has been annealed, cleaned, sized, ran threw expander mandrel for consistent neck tension etc chamfered and deburred.

I have staball 6.5, H4350 and H4831SC powders on hand and during fire forming the staball 6.5 was able to push the 190 grain Berger to 2820-2840 with no pressure sings but nothing was consistent. I would group in the .3s and have good SD and ES and load the exact same charge again to confirm and it would be all over the place. Not sure if that’s just from the new brass I was firing or the nature of ball powders. I know the h4350 is a great powder as I run it in 2 of my other rifles, I’ve never tried the h4831. Hoping to at least get 2700-2800 the goal is to just shoot paper right now and eventually go out to 1000 yards. Maybe shoot a deer with the vld hunting bullets.

Which powder would you start with to conserve components?

POF revolution 6.5 creedmoor - Yay or Nay

For some background all my AR style platforms are in 5.56, 300blk, 9mm, .22 and I have never really had the desire for a large frame AR platform until now and I don't know why but I just have an itch for a 6.5 gasser. Thinking it might be a nice multi purpose plinking and hunting rifle. Not looking to win any matches with it but I would like something that shoots MOA 5 shot groups @100 (pending I do my part)

I would like to keep this a budget gun as I am really not to sure how much ill shoot it so I am really looking at used Aero builds as there seem to be quite a few that pop up. But by chance a friend at works brother has a very lightly used POF revolution that he might be selling and the concept of this platform has sparked my interest. I did some quick googling (but we all know how that goes...) and there seem to be a lot of hit or miss reviews about these guns, specifically the barrel QAQC and lack of customer service.

I was wondering what others thoughts were on these rifles?

Rifle Scopes Need advice on Black Friday Deals

I am thinking about picking up a scope this black friday, and haven't really researched them as much as I would like, so I find myself in need of advice. My primary use(s) will be hunting at short range (under 100 yards), but I would also like to be able to practice for long distance shooting (out to about 1000 yards). It will be going on a 6.5 Creedmoor but I haven't settled on the exact rifle yet.

The following deals looked good and I am thinking now might be a good time to buy (with the sale and the potential of tariffs possibly driving up prices on some of the cheaper china manufactured scopes).

I am looking at the Arken EP 5 G2 7-35x56 (around 550), Arken EP-5 5-25x56 (does the fact that its not G2 matter) (around 420), and Vortex Optics Viper PST Gen 2 5-25x50(around 650).

Any considerations that I as a relative newbie in this field might miss when comparing them (they are all first focal plane scopes)?
Are the deals good enough to be worth jumping on or am I overvaluing them?
Anything else in that basic price range you would recommend instead?
Which would you pick and why?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Night Vision Eotech clipir mk2 elr vs VoodooM

Picked up an eotech mk2 elr recently and just wondering how it compares to a voodooM for the guys that have both or been around both. I’m finding out I’m a BAE core type of guy and while I do like the eotech unit I’m just wondering if I’m missing out not owning a M? I debated between these two before picking up the eotech and my main driver for going with the eotech was the larger germanium objective. I hunt open plains with no trees so identifying coyotes at 800+ is a big deal. Price of the voodoo was also a factor LOL

300 Win Mag 20" barrel / short barrel

I have a 300 win mag defiance action with proof barrel 1:10 twist and I have been reloading for it a little bit. It has 20" barrel.

I am using
185gr berger bullet's
69.00 grs powder - IMR-4350

I am getting around 2860fps
Sometimes my SDs are great and sometimes they suck but 1/2 moa to 3/4 moa groups.

But anyway do you think 2860fps sounds right? Do you think it's too fast for a 20" barrel?
