    I'm building a switch barrel target rifle on a stiller LA with a 30 moa rail in a xlr chassis. I will have a mag and standard bolt and plan on doing a 338 edge for going to 1760+.

    redding bushings

    redding bushings

    So here's my question/problem, I have a redding bushing that I have been using for a few years that belongs to a friend. I decided to order my own set and was measuring my new lapua brass to make sure I get the right ones. The loaded brass is .337 OD, the bushing is a .334. so I decide to check...

    $1500 to work with what would you choose?

    I have a R700 spsv .308 1-12 in a B&c medalist with a hawke scope that has kept me in the running with several custom rigs. It will handle anything from 168 to 208 grns pretty well.

    OWC test vs. Ladder

    Re: OWC test vs. Ladder IMO they are both good but the ladder is easier to read/decipher. I always shoot 3 rounds per rung(.5gr or.2gr), it saves confusion on whether you pulled the shot/fluke and it gives you an idea on the vertical/groups.I also color code my bullets with sharpies so there...

    Re: OCW tests out of my hunting rifle. 30-06 I have to agree with old tex here it does seem like the same test.Plus Ive never run a ladder with less than 3 shots or running round robin its simple statistics( a pulled shot is a pulled shot).I also always look at the groups above and below the...
