I have set up continuous wave commo gear (Morse) with a slant wire and counterpoise ground and made commo from halfway around the world by skipping it off the ionosphere. this ought to be easy but i guess i need to tune it a might. I will gladly share anything that works and also with the...

The range is 1000 yds and is maybe 170 ft wide. So it is clear and only light grass between the transmitter and receiver but the sides are lined with trees. it makes a narrow corridor to shoot through.

I have the Bullseye camera and it is not 100% reliable on my range. I set up and shoot (NRA) at 600 yds, 800/900/1,000 yds and connectivity is in and out. it gets frustrating. line-of-sight is clear but the range is narrow and partly lined with thick and very tall pine trees. i have their...

I have been using the Bullseye camera with the extended range antenna and modem for several years. my 1000 yd range is lined with very tall pines and connectivity is in and out. i have tried elevating both ends to help line-of-sight but it is still not 100% reliable. i have bought a couple of...

I've also wrapped the sling around a tree and fence post for some added stability but I guess that was wrong too. he said... Hmm...that's artificial support. I have an idea, why not look up NRA Rule 3.3 "Slings" to get a very basic description. the rule in the International Fullbore...

There are decades of experience with the 308 and 168 gr bullets, mostly sierra's. The 173 lapua was a good bullet and the 175 Sierra is better, in my opinion. There was a time when i was trying larger, heavier bullets for 1,000 LR NRA shooting and made the transition back the other way with...

Good work Gunny. looks like another winner bullet in the 6.5mm category. i was shooting 6.5-08 years back and enjoyed it but in that time there were very few bullets to compete with in 6.5mm. you need to get it on a chronograph before you work up loads. i have found bullets have a sweet...

I have been using Varget, 4895, 4064 and V V 135 with 168 Sierra HPBT's for decades. I am now using 4350 with 6.5 Creedmoor (like a 6.5-08) and it has given me best performance with 123's 140's and 142's. I only shoot long range now and stopped shooting Across-the-course matches after coming...

6.5 CM from LC Match or Federal I have been able to make 6.5 CM very easily from 308 LC Match and Federal 308 GM brass. I have a good quantity of Hornady brass but after 4 decades of reloading, and military background I cannot be satisfied with just one source. Besides I have thousands of...

Good question. I like to snap in before a match or training session to help get the bones and ligaments loosened up for the positions. dry firing also has helped my offhand game over the years. I also have an Anchutz 2002 CA that i shoot competitively and since the pellet travels about 1100...

I like the 6.5 Creedmoor and have found it to almost replicate the .300 WM. It shoots better than any of my long range or Across-the-Course .308's. I was debating the .260 vs the 6.5 CM. A lot of people are complaining about the lack of any brass other than Hornady. I am making my brass from...
