Re: Question for .308 208 amax shooters Yaog, I will for sure buy a few and try before I buy a bunch. Did you perhaps give varget a try??? Also what oal did you load at...?

Re: Question for .308 208 amax shooters I have had very good results with sierra 175s and hornady 178 amaxes over 43.5 varget for about 2720 to 2730 in my 26" schneider barreled 308. They go to 1000 very well, I have 2 friends with ranges to 1000 yds with in 20 minutes driving of me. I...

Re: Question for .308 208 amax shooters Will do that thanks

Wanting to try a higher bc bullet for my 308, have used search function but have not located my specific question. Has anyone tested these at rem 700 mag lengths 2.800 to oh say 2.830 or so, preferably with varget but any testing results would be most appreciated, and with a 12 twist, I live...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 I'm no gunsmith but I'm sure that your method has merit, I myself did not want to make any changes to mine because it shot well enough like it is. I don't see any problem with the droop as long as your aware of it, you just need 50 to 60 minutes of up angle in your...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 Aries64 thanks for the credit, I don't know that the design in itself is a flaw, but you do have to take steps to avoid running out of scope travel. And you sure do if you want to got beyond 100 yards or so. Some one should make a scope base with 30-50 minutes or...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 shooter65 that is a fine rifle, I remember when amt made these rifles. That is a much better designed rig than what I have, I'm sure it shoots very well: 308

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 I have not but I do not doubt what you say you've seen. Could you give the details of what you saw, the ranges fired at etc.?

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 I never said it would outshoot subsonic, I said I had seen hispeed still shoot accurately after dropping back through the sound barrier, I asked had you ever actually see accuracy of hi speed ammo go to pot like the 168 sierras did when they fell back thru the sound...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 But my 22's that were shooting .5 at 50 were hispeed, 1200, and I know they were subsonic before 100 and they still shot with a high degree of accuracy after and continueing far beyond passing thru the sound barrier.

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 Shooter65 have you actually witnessed this with hispeed 22 rimfire ammo? I have seen accuracy go to pot with the 168 sierra mkbthp at a 1000 when it was fine at 700. I have not seen this with 22 rimfire ammo, granted I'm not shooting anywhere near benchrest...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 Linedrive301ft, Come ups in my gun with ww dnya-points and about a 1.75 scope above bore is: 50-0.0 100-6.5 200-24.25 300-48.0 400-78.0 500-114.0 This is in yards The 500 has not been confirmed yet, I haven't got back out to verify it,but after playing...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 Aries64, Barrel droop... I ain't the sharpest tack in the box but, when you put a barrel in a receiver that has enough clearence for a slip fit and then clamp it at one point, in the case of the 10/22 the clamp being at the bottom it stands to reason that all the...

Re: Longrange with a 10/22 I know that better groups could be shot with better(more expensive) ammo but part of the appeal is low cost practice. It shoots the dyna point 1/2 to 3/4 inch at 50, occasionaly better, and this is good enough to see whats taking place OUT there. 308

Just a bit about how I set up a 10/22 for longrange, up to 500 for fun and practice. A bit about my rifle first, its nothing fancy, just a plain old 10/22 action about 15 years old, that about 5 years ago I put a Green Mountain stainless barrel on and a hogue overmolded stock, like I said...
