    Help with 308 load with varget

    I don't have 168's, but I shoot the 175's over 45 grains of varget in a win case. The one thing I'll tell you that made a huge difference was jamming them .010" into the lands. I was shooting about 2" groups from .010" off the lands to .130" off and jammed them .010" and shot a half inch group...

    Washington state monthly matches at Upper Nisqually Sportsman's Club

    Thanks for the info fellas. Now I just have to see how my sporter weight barrel feels about shooting in quick succession...

    Washington state monthly matches at Upper Nisqually Sportsman's Club

    It looks like the range is pretty well shrouded but I was curious what you guys see for wind on an average day. I live in the Columbia River Gorge and its a windy bitch out here, but I haven't had alot of practice shooting in it yet. Was just curious what I would be up against.

    Washington state monthly matches at Upper Nisqually Sportsman's Club

    Well that makes me feel really good. Thank you. I really enjoyed shooting with you. And now that I have a good load and some hopefully good data I hope to shoot a lot more. And after your comments I'm thinking piss on it, I may make it to that next match. I have a month to practice. And it sure...

    Subscribed. I need a detachable mag!!! I'd be at the next one for sure but with a 4 round capacity I don't think I'll be able to compete.

    scope slipping, SWFA 10x42

    scope slipping, SWFA 10x42 I run the Burris XTR's. I have lapped both sets that I bought and found that one ring would have maybe 20% contact and the other 40% contact on the bottom rings. I lap the top and bottom rings together until I get at least 90% contact and then install the scope and...

    My first attemp at sponge camo.

    Looks good man. I like the multi color. I just went two color on mine and I'm happy with it but the extra work in yours shows. Looks good man. This was my first one, did it last weekend.

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    This thread... Jesus. Went to the range with my cheap ass Stevens 200 rifle to zero with a new batch of ammo. When I got there, there's three guys standing around what appeared to be a Sendero. I didn't investigate much but it looked like a nice setup. I sat down and set up. Listening all the...

    Remington 9 1/2 Large Rifle Primer Misfires

    Before I started reloading, a friend loaded me 100 rounds for my 30-06. I went to the range and shot 20 rds and had 3 not fire. He took them back and mentioned he was having issues as well. He shoots enough that I would assume he bought them new, but I don't have any background on them.

    Rifle Scopes Impatiently Waiting

    I'm not in the same budget range as y'all are but I am currently waiting for my SWFA SS 10x42 to show up. Rifle is in the shop for cerakote and bullets on the way. They say the scope should be here Friday, and the smith says the rifle should be done by Friday, and I bet, given my past luck, I...
