    308 Win with 1:9 twist

    Amazed at the fps with heavy bullets from a 308:) I didn't even realize hybrids were available for it.

    308 Win with 1:9 twist

    That's what I'm hoping to hear! I've got the same barrel on the way (24 inch though):)

    308 Win with 1:9 twist

    Thanks 45-90, haven't been keeping up with ballistic developments as much as I used to. I'll have to give the 177's a look and also some of the heavier bullets. Maybe the 185 Bergers? Have a few 220 SMK's somewhere too.

    308 Win with 1:9 twist

    Any one running a 308 with a 1:9 twist? What kind of results are you getting? Will it still do OK with 175 SMK bullets? I'll be using a 24" barrel. Thanks.

    straight behind rifle

    Thanks Frank. Never liked canting my head, have always tried to minimize that but not as well as I'm hearing can be done. Preferred to cant my alignment relative to barrel a bit to help reduce the need to cant my head. It is a goofy endevor, trying to acheive best results which makes it...

    straight behind rifle

    Gotcha, we were on the same page regarding the shoulder pocket. I will have to take a try at using the placement you recommend. That will probably require some adjustments to the rifle to make it work, we will see. Not sure whether that will work for me in the prone, without having the butt...

    straight behind rifle

    Overall those four shooters are all lined up pretty well compared to what I often see, but the two on the right both have their spines canted a bit from the barrel. That is about how I line up at this point but I'm sure there is more to learn. Indeed consistency is key:)

    straight behind rifle

    I will watch the video, just looking at the initial pic it looks like the butt is in his shoulder pocket. May be we are talking apples and oranges when it comes to shoulder pocket? When shooting prone I don't see any other way. To put it centered on my body it would be under my neck and in...

    straight behind rifle

    What I wrote pertained to shooting a tactical type rifle from the prone and in many other positions. Shooting a hunting rifle offhand, no the butt doesn't need to be in your shoulder pocket. Yes you can shoot a tactical rifle (heavy typically) with the butt on your shoulder instead of the...

    straight behind rifle

    The but of the rifle needs to be in the pocket of your shoulder not on your collar bone (so that the top of but is not on your collar bone but below it). To make that happen you need to adjust the cheek piece, scope and length of pull as necessary. I know this because when I first tried prone...

    Patriot valley turn time

    Finally got it. Was wondering if it would happen someday:)

    Patriot valley turn time

    Gee this is just great, my order for a prefit Impact cut rifled barrel went in Dec of 2018 and I'm still waiting 10 months later, meanwhile they come out with new products, efforts at high volume sales and people who ordered well after I did are getting barrels. Worst delay I've experienced...

    300 PRC build

    Thanks for the info. I've got that tool MPA sells for modifying feed lips, makes it easy to bend them. Slight bends with trial and error can get you there eventually at least that is what worked for me on my first attempt. Have the MDT mags working pretty well. Haven't had a chance to work...
