Re: Neck Sizing Die I would love to try a Lee Collet neck die but I can't fine one for 6.5 Creedmoore. Anyone have a suggestion?

With my first custom build (Brux barrell on a Stiller action chambered for 6.5 Creedmoor) on its way, I'm thinking of using a neck sizing die for the first time. Question is, as long as I stick with the same brass and bullets can I use a a friends known loaded bullet measurement to determine...

I was fortunate enough to get in on the "Stiller Group Buy" here on the Hide and excitedly await the shipment of my first custom action. I am planning to pair this action up with a Brux 26" fluted barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmore. How should I have it chambered to be able to load on the lands...

I have always shot factory stocks but I am considering my first custom stock. What are the advantages of a custom stock and what do you think about the Manners MCS-GAT?

Re: Strelok Ballistic Calculator - Android & Symbian Thanks for the info ... I have been using ISnipe on my IPhone. It works okay as long as I allow it to input weather conditions based on GPS coordinates. If I try to manually add weather conditions using a Kestrel, it seems to confuse the...

Re: i may have effed up fluting this barrel. Cool concept. Barrel stays cool as well as increases speed and accuracy. Better keep this technology away from the Taliban or we are doomed.

Re: ISnipe I have not used any other programs but am willing to try any recommendations.

I recently purchased an ISnipe app and considered it very helpful for ballistic calculations. As long as I allow it to import it's own weather data, it works great. Yesterday, I shot at 1000 for the first time and tried to manually input weather conditions from a Kestrel 4500. The MOA...

I've tested several loads for my .308 Rem 700 LTR and I'm pleased with the short range accuracy of 43.7 gr of Varget at 2480 fps. However, this load does not give me the speed to reach 1000 yds before going transonic. It breaks somewhere between 850 and 1000 yds. I recall reading posts of others...

I have been very sucessful shooting out to 850 yards without any help electronically. I recently purchased an ISnipe app and it taught me how weather conditions have such an effect on bullet travel. I have read much about the Kestrel 4500NV lately. Question is, what is included with the Kestrel...

Re: Best round for 1000+ I have a Rem 700 LTR with same set up. 20" 1:12 twist barrel. I used 165 SMK,s out to 600 as well but after reading info on this site, I tried 175's. Shot past 600 yrds for the first time 2 days ago and hit 3 for 3 shots at 850 yrds. I ordered a new scope this morning...

I have tried several loads on my Remington 700 LTR (.308) with my best load (on the lands) which is too long for the magazine. If I shorten the overall length, I loose accuracy. Anyone have any suggestions or sucessful loads for LTR .308?
