    Range Report Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...?

    Re: Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length.. So, you want me to give you home range advantage, at an insane elevation when I live in the Houston area practically at sea level and now you want me to run with my rifle before I shoot? At my age? Why don't you just shoot me and be done...

    Range Report Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...?

    Re: Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length.. Great, so you're already changing the rules. I offered my .308 with my regular F-class bullets in my 32 inch barrel against your 260 in an 18.5 inch barrel at 1000 yards. I explained that I do not run 155gr SMKs. Now you want to change...

    Range Report Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...?

    Re: Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length.. I guess that means we won't get to find out. And I keep telling you I do not use a 155gr bullet.

    Range Report Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...?

    Re: Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...? It is interesting to note that nowhere did I mention .308 caliber and yet LL keeps refering to it. LL is also the one that started talking about shooting to 1000 yards, not me. I asked what kind of precision you were looking for...

    Range Report Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...?

    Re: Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...? And how is that different from: "The ultimate goal is to push the highest BC bullet at the highest possible velocity. " ?

    Range Report Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...?

    Re: Wind, BC, muzzle velocity, and barrel length...? Remembering that 3 MOA at 1000 yards is 30 inches, I would say the difference is more than substantial. But it really depends on the kind of precision that you require out of your rifle system. For example, a difference of 3MOAs of wind...

    barrel question

    Re: barrel question I disagree, it is about the length of the bullet. This measurement is what dictates the minimum required spin for stable flight; the bearing surface has nothing whatsoever to do with the spin and the stability of the bullet.

    AR accuracy and barrel length

    Re: AR accuracy and barrel length Absolutely. Also buy lots of brass, because you will only get one load out them when trying to get the velocity needed for the long trip down range and still arrive at a velocity above Mach 1. You will also need to get your rifle looked at often because of...

    What would be a good rear rest for Magpul PRS?

    Re: What would be a good rear rest for Magpul PRS? To the OP; When I shoot my PRS-stocked AR-15 in F-class, I use the Protektor 41 filled with heavy sand. The stock fits very well in there and it actually goes back and forth in the bag by virtue of sliding the cover for the small picatinny...

    Reloading for distance

    Re: Reloading for distance Tim K, that load is crap and would only reach 1000 yards supersonically in Colorado, lke maybe near Woodland Park. The 168gr SMK is notorious and the poster child for bullets that lose stability during transonic flight regime. It's a great bullet to 600 yards...

    neck issues on .308 loads

    Re: neck issues on .308 loads What brand of brass? What brand of dies? Did you measure chamber length? You might want to add a little powder there. 41gr Varget for 175 is low.

    AR accuracy and barrel length

    Re: AR accuracy and barrel length I have a 26inch AR-15 that I have shot to 1000 yards quite a bit in F-TR competition. If you are looking at shooting only to 600 yards, you can do very well with such a rifle. The 26 inch barrel will provide extra velocity and with the .223, you can use all...

    Good Bullet Weight for .308?

    Re: Good Bullet Weight for .308? There is a world of difference between the regular 150gr bullets and the 155gr Palma-type bullets. You simply cannot get the standard 150gr bullets to 1000 yards supersonically in a .308 and live to tell the tale. The 155 Palma-types are easily supersonic...
