    Will a 137gr .308 bullet make it to 1000 yards?

    An accurate MV and a good BC with the projectile still super sonic = hitting it at a grand.

    308 win for 1 mile shot

    Leveling a bubble level...

    Plumb line. Get a step ladder. 6' min. Tie a string, put a small sledge hammer tied to it at the bottom, just high enough to submerge in a 5 gallon bucket of water. Rifle, in a gun vise if you have it, on a rock solid table. That's the way. Line it up.

    One More rifle lost by USPS

    Damn stupidity on the delivery guys part would be more accurate. (Unless you have an ax to grind with teamsters.) Sorry to hear about this loss. My gunsmith, who works in his garage, was ranting that the stupid USPS drivers deliver product to his neighbors and run back to their truck all...

    Need some advise on what gear I'm missing

    A lot of wisdom in the posts here. Keep in mind learning this "art of the rifle" is not a sprint, but a marathon. Not to repeat the previous advice, # 1 being take classes by real instructors, but saturate yourself with long range shooting information. Buy a notebook and fill it, so you can use...

    Re: Tikka T3 Varmint 6,5x55 SE Love the suppressor! I have a deep desire for one but no go here, they work brilliantly. I spent an afternoon with 2 guys shooting .308's with suppressors. Way to go!

    Where has all the ammo gone?

    Re: Where has all the ammo gone? We have been thru this before with Clinton, so I learned to save up for a rainy day. Only thing I am frustrated about is the .308 Match ammo is gone like a 59' Cadillac...gone. I called my rifle instructor, the Rangemaster w/ the P.D., he suggested reloading...

    Fieldcraft Rifle Painting Tutorial
