Re: Burger bullets I didn't look that close so you may very well be correct at the 140 gr. The Berger rep printed the information off the Berger site so you may have access to the same info that he told me. Thanks for you imput

Re: Arctic Snow Ghillie I have made three suits and this one is great. Job well done

I just received a box of Burger 6.5mm 142 gr match bullets. I recently spoke to a person with Burger and told him I didn't seem to get the result I was looking for with their bullets. He asked a couple of questions about my reloading and said that I should try to jump the bullet. 10 thousands...

Re: Mil MIl vs. MOA mil Sorry but I was of the impression that a Mil Dot reticule is in mils and a 1/4 in adj was in MOA

Re: FREE Mesquite Creek Rifle Match, Texas 02-19-11 I shot my first match here. Great people, great host, great sponsors and fab prizes. Wonderful event

I can shoot at a place that will allow up to 900+ yards I have enough RA targes to reach 600 can I use mild or cold steel for the further ranges without having any problems. Standard lang range calibers no magus. thanks Dave

Re: FREE Mesquite Creek Rifle Match, TX ***PICS UP*** I shot in the MCR match this past weekend. This was my first match of this nature and style. Adam and Bob, along with the folks they had working to help them, made this a very special day. The mix of experienced, newer shooters and...

Re: new to long range shooting When you purchase an over the counter rifle to do long range shooting there are a couple of item you may wish to address. 1- Have the rifle glass bedded by a person who KNOWS what he is doing. This should cost between 50 and 75.00 dollars. Doing this will...

Re: after 600 The first indication is that 43.2 grains of 4350 with 142SMK is running about 2850fps. I am on the numbers with my friends shooting a similar load and speed through to 600yds. At that point they are begin to show a flatter path of flight with their rifle. My rounds are...

I am new to tactical long range shooting. I have a Savage model 10 rebarreled to Rem 260. Crony to 2850 and dead on through 600yds. Then things start to go AWOL. I am using a Zeiss 4-12X50 MOA scope. I am handloading with a pharmacy scale to the thousand, three decimals points. Any thought...

Re: Bedding Remington VTR I bedded mine this evening also. I wraped tape a few turns around the forward pressure point to insure a free float. I bedded out two partition and the barrel lug and forward screw lug. Should know in the morning the results.
