That is exactly why I started shooting in FTR competitions at 1K. I wanted to learn to read the wind. It has taken awhile, but it is worth it IMO. I highly recommend it. Another benefit of FTR is barrel life. Edit: welcome to long range shooting... :)
My recommendation to you would be based entirely on what you are personally trying to accomplish. first I am Not sure what you mean when you say you qualified for your club's 600 yard match. it sounds like you had to shoot a Tyro (qualifying round) of some kind in order to be allowed to...
I've been reloading ammo for more than 40 years. I've never done the thing described, and I never will. I will pull them apart before I do that. No offense, but...wow. So you're going to chamber a round pointed at your head? Or at the poor slob in the apartment above you?
The more "custom" your rifle becomes, the more single-purpose it also becomes. If money is no object, and you want a custom FT/R rifle, there are several people who would be very happy to build one for you. The high-dollar single shot custom actions are probably, for such a project, a good...
It's not just about runout, it's also about neck tension. Afaik neck tension inconsistency is prevented by a) regular annealing and b) neck turning, in addition to neck brushing and, for me, use of an expander die. At 1000 yards it matters.
Extremely interesting conditions all weekend long at Butner this weekend...the range threw nearly everything except the kitchen sink at us. Fun! Edit: I don't know if there are any new shooters reading this, but Butner IMO was very challenging this weekend and I encountered more than one...
This isn't mentioned often but I'll mention it: it is my understanding that you want the scope to be reasonably close to center at the elevation / range you will be shooting at most. Do not buy too much +MOA in a base, if doing so will make you crank the scope all the way down for most of your...
um.....perhaps I spoke too soon, the feed lips on my .308 5 rounders are .395" and .403" respectively, and my ten rounders are all between .405" and .410". My mags are all AI marked. The feed lips being too narrow would definitely hold the round too low. I still wouldn't bend them...
Perhaps the thread should be titled "McRee chassis feeding issue with AICS magazines"? I would think it entirely possible that the chassis is mis-positioning the mags.
Go this this web site: JBM - Calculations - Trajectory (Drift) pick your bullet, give it a reasonable starting velocity, and then scroll down to the bottom and click "calculate". The program assumes a 100 yard zero. Now, change the temperature only by 25 degrees or so, and see what happens...
