    Toys for tots match @ Colorado Rifle Club

    Re: Toys for tots match @ Colorado Rifle Club I am pretty sure that Pete would be open to increasing the number of shots. We could use as many people as possible. More toys for the kids. Hell I would like to shoot 15 rounds at each distance. It is a fun match so I am sure the shooters...

    Which Rimfire? Need Help Choosing!

    Re: Which Rimfire? Need Help Choosing! I am not familiar with the 22lr rifles you mentioned other than the Remington 40x. We shoot ARA matches so not many of us use the magazine boxes. That said last year 2 years ago I used the Savage mark II BSEV. It has a 10 and 25 round magazines...

    Whats a good length barrel for 6.5 creedmoor

    Re: Whats a good length barrel for 6.5 creedmoor I have to agree with the others on 26". The only con is a the weight but for the type of shooting you are describing the 26" barrel would justify the extra few pounds. As you said in your original posting velocity is the primary goal and the...

    Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications

    Re: Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications 6/250 I recently had a 6/250 completed and worked up some loads. Pros -The 6/250 is pushing 105's 2900-3000 fps with 37.5gr of IMR 4350. -The accuracy is great with sub .3 moa groups at 300yds prone. -Great ballistics for tactical...

    Lapua Brass Issues?

    Re: Lapua Brass Issues? You have got to be right. I took the expander button out of the Reading full length sizind die and resized the most difficult brass to chamber- they worked fine. With the expander button they would not chamber well. I then loaded a 105 berger bullet into the case and...

    Range Report Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range

    Re: Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range I just don't think that weaver base is a true 10 map base. I just put on a 20 moa base. Back to the range when the snow melts. I bet this will let me get back to a more reasonable BC. Knight thanks for that input on backing into the...

    Range Report Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range

    Re: Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range One thing that occurred to me from the gentleman who spoke of the scope. It appears I am at the end of the adjustments. The scope has always been on but it is a 70 moa scope and I am at 35 up. I have a hunch that is not good.

    Range Report Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range

    Re: Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range I know it is high on the Bc, but it is working. The velocities I got were really consistent and it was the same temp. I didn't really know if I should change the BC or the velocity. I seem to run into this when I go to the range and test...

    Range Report Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range

    Re: Balistic Cards don't match DOPE at Long Range I am getting pretty close with a BC of. 595. This is actually within .5 moa a cross the board. I made a mistake in my on the 800 and 900 yd readings. Each was decreased by 1 moa. 15moa / revolution of the dial not 14.
