I've found that some of the paper targets at the matches I do can be difficult to see ALL my hits at 50 yards and beyond with the 12x I was using. Specific example being the last match when we were shooting paper silhouettes. There was a circle in the center of the chest worth 5 points and a...

Thanks! That's not totally out of the question. I'd have to sell my Razor and the March would need to serve double duty between rifles, but it looks promising. Any other suggestions?

I've spent the past two weeks researching scope options for my CZ455 and am no closer to finding what I want now than I was when I first started. Everytime I find a post by someone who says they love their .22lr scope, I find that it won't focus close enough, is SPF, or doesn't have a reticle I...

My FFL sent me an email saying mine is ready for pick up!

Thanks. I've got the 110 FCP (Even cheaper than your 110 BA) I mentioned earlier. I've been exploring a higher charge and 91.5+ seems like it may work well. I need to do some more fine tuning to figure out a final charge weight and seating depth. Are you sticking cases at 92.5? I'm using...

What rifle are you shooting those out of, Diver?

88.5 gr. of H1000. It usually gets me 1/2 MOA at closer distances when I manage the recoil well.

I'm using the 285 Amax. In my 110FCP, I'm finding .020" jump to give me the best accuracy with them. The tips are just barely rubbing in the mag so I single load, but it hasn't been a problem since I've only encountered lone AR500 targets and they move fairly slowly. PM me your address and...

If you have a youtube account, you can subscribe to his "channel". He does have a website he's developing called SNIPER-101 | Hit on the first shot, but it has not launched yet.

Months later, I know, but Thanks! I was trying to find the right size today for a 338LM. Good to know the 420 I have for my 7mm RM will work for both.

I went through a bag of 500 of Graf's seconds and they were all 175's. Using a bullet comparator, I did notice that they were all either a little longer or shorter than the range my actual SMK 175's were falling in. I wonder if they were just all out of spec and rejected for that reason. I've...

Ah. I'd say a wind meter of some sort just became necessary.

44.0 grains of Varget, 210M primer, Winchester brass, seated so that it is just touching the lands in my Savage. Usually good for .5 moa or less at 100 yards if I'm doing my part.

What are you using to come up with your firing solution? I'm currently using an app on my phone called Shooter and it usually gets me pretty close on the first shot if I read the wind right.

I shoot 175 SMKs and at that distance even a 5mph cross wind takes me off target if I don't adjust for it.
