    Ammo choice

    You really need to define your requirements before asking a question like that. Things to consider... 1. What distance do you want the ammo to perform at? 2. What level of accuracy are you looking for (best defined by the average MOA you expect for multi-shot groups)? 3. What kind of target(s)...

    Does anyone actually disassemble their rifle?

    What I've learned after years of shooting long range bolt action rifles...the less you mess with them the better they perform. For bore cleaning, I just use my normal CLP (SLIP 2000) for a light clean and lube and to remove the carbon, either after a match and/or before a match. Maybe every...

    Chose an FN cold hammer forged, chrome-lined barrel this time.

    I'm a believer in the high quality of the FN CHF Chrome Lined AR barrels. Did a lot of research on these and everything I have read tells the same story over and over about the high quality materials used and the precision and care that FN uses to build these barrels. Also, a friend of mine...

    Flustered on What to Buy First

    Never said or suggested that folks shouldn't have a chrono. Just said that you don't need one to determine velocity. And I think it's important to let new shooters know they don't need one right away if they feel overwhelmed by the cost to get into LR shooting and are just looking at a...

    Ultimate long range soft case

    I've been using one made by Galati for the last 8-10 years and taken it to many different matches and activities. Very flexible and affordable for all the features. When I use a Pelican hardcase, I take out the foam inserts and the Galati bag fits perfect. I use it for my large PRS and heavy...

    Flustered on What to Buy First

    Agree...but...when shooting quality factory ammo you can start with published velocity data and adjust for barrel length if needed to get a velocity number to start the process. Then play with a ballistics calculator like JBM ballistics, which is free and available on line, and print out a...

    Flustered on What to Buy First

    To get started shooting long range matches, you don't need anything on the list at the top of this thread. You do need a quality action, barrel, proper bedding in a decent stock, quality scope and mount properly installed, good trigger, and quality ammo. There are many mass produced factory...

    Old(er) Guy coming back for more...

    So, originally joined SH back in 2010 when organized long range matches were just getting off the ground in a big way. Jumped on the band wagon when PRS got started and travelled up and down the east coast shooting matches and learning all things long range. Got burned out after a few years...
