Tacsniper: What I found with the stock 5r is that one needs to seat the bullet pretty long to get it to shoot. I found with 175SMKs I need to seat OAL @2.87 to 2.86. I measured the distance to the lands and got around 2.895 just a tad longer than it makes sense to me to seat. If you can get...

I have the 10x SWFA. I use it in the AR 10/15 platform. Use the LaRue Tac mount for using on different rifles. I do like the paralex adjustment feature and on the AR 10 it is good to go on the IPSC steel at 1 K. For precision shooting and finding bullet holes at 100 to 400 I need to use a...

Re: Help me diagnose my grouping problem Assuming you have done all of the reloading stuff, ladder test, seating off lands and knowing you ammo / gun combo is working. I would suspect that the your variation would be caused by either of the two things: you know when the shot is going to...

Re: Atlas or Harris bipods... And why I have them both and like them both my preference is for the Atlas. On my recent 2 purchases of the Atlas I really like the improvements they made to the mounting system. I use them all with the spigot type mount so they are very easy to switch on the...

Re: Training for Tactical Comps I have shot a few matches my issue it trying to finding the targets. Seems simple to look and see them with your eye or spotting scope or binos but seeing thru the scope prone poses issues for me. Seems most turn down the 22x scope to around 8x. When one has...

Re: 6.5x47 Build K I just finished the AIAW 6.5L build, copied my buddys gun with reamer and barrel. He shoots 34.8 grains of Varget behind the 130 Bergers, says most laugh at his light load but did a 2.5" group at a local 1K BR match.

Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state? Anyone in AZ, Prescott or Flagstaff area?

Re: Monopod vs. Rear bag I wonder if the opinions on the mono pod could be influenced by the type of front support one is using? I shoot with a Bipod on the front and I find the bag in the back seems to isolate my heart beat impact in the scope. I have tried wrapping a bag around the mono...

Re: Cold bore consistency? Recently attended a shooting class where we had 16 shooters and we were started the day off with a cold bore zero, and clean bore zero. No one really defined a cold boar shot nor was the cleaning method specified. As all experienced shooters know there are a lot of...

Re: Anyone familiar with Front Sight Nevada? I agree 100% with the post of Nimzoblanca. My wife and I are first family members, I have a Diamond Membership. I am invested about 4K for our memberships. I have taken 20 plus classes and my wife 4 classes. Most classes were 4 day classes...

I am looking for someone who modifies AI single stack magazines for using the 6mm BR. I guess one member, Marty Larson from Wisconson does this. His sign on has 50 somewhere in it. Does anyone know who does this or Marty's info. Tks -Dan

Re: Any matches in Minnesota??? Minnesota has a State organization that coordinates most events, not sure of the name but Google may help something like MSRA Minnesota State Rifle????? Good Luck Dan

Re: F-Class Rifle The range in Harris, MN has F class matches as well as practice sessions, they have a 1K range. Minnetonka Game and Fish also has F-Class matches. They shoot from indoors so you have air and heat. The targets are set at 330 yards and are electronically scored, this is one...

Re: AZPRC FEBRUARY RESULTS Brad: Thanks for making a first time shooter feel comfortable at the match. Great group of guys and ladies. Dan

Re: Front Sight, NV To take the Precision Rifle class you need to pass, with distinguised graduate status from the practical rifle class. Passing with the Distinguished Graduate status is not an easy task to do. I have taken the practical rifle class 3 times and the skill builder once, will...
