    SSG08 338 or TRG 42

    Thanks. I'm not going to compete with it, just pop some hogs and steel at range. Given that, I'm not too worried about barrel profile, as shot strings won't be too rapid.

    SSG08 338 or TRG 42

    I have searched on here and can't find information. I have been shooting f-class a while now and am looking into some of the big boys.... Does anyone on here have experience with the SSG? I am torn between it and the 42. I figure after i buy a couple of mags for the 42 and the bipod...

    Your first long range rifle

    308 isnt a bad pick. There are a lot of good calibers based on that case/bolt face measuremnt so if you ever get into reloading you have a lot of choices to switch to just by rebarreling the rifle. 6.5 creed or similar is just a barrel away with no other changes to your system. Sent from my...

    6.5 creedmoor a duplication of effort if I have a 308

    I just had a 6.5 creed built by Greg Young at bugholes.com and it is a tack driver. He is worth a look and only has about a 2 month turn time. You can find bulk 6.5 creed for decent price per round if you are willing to shell out the money up front.

    Thats why I kept it at 28". If I was going to shoot it in tactical competitions and run around with the thing on my back all the time I might have gone with a lighter profile and shorter barrel, but this thing is going to be pretty much shot from a bench or off the ground. I am going to ground...

    Your first long range rifle

    I will slow down the posts in my own thread after this, but I want to put a couple of thanks somewhere in the public domain to recognize some folks: KRG - Dealing with the guys there has been great, and they went above and beyond in terms of service with me changing my chassis order up the day...

    So my velocities were a bit screwy at first. My average velocity is around 2660 with 41 grs IMR 4350 pushing the berger 140gr vld hunter. the .020 off the lands group is the best group I have every shot!! I measured and it is under .25" at its widest. My standard deviations where nuts at...

    Here are the first targets. .020 is the ticket. .25" or just under. With this load at .020 off the lands it is much more capable than I currently am. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

    Thanks! I just finished loads and will be off to the range shortly. 140gr berger hunter vlds @ 41grs imr 4350 . First load is just touching and I have backed off 5 groups of shells.010 at a time back to .050. Now to see if I can do my part.... I am going to shoot all of them with a chrony...
