    End of life barrels

    I’m shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor. Today I shot at 1,000y for the second time. The first was exactly 2 years ago nearly to the day at the same range. My barrel was nearly new 2 years ago and I was shooting 0.4moa with hand loads and 0.6moa with factory ammo. Today my best group was 0.6moa with hand...

    It's my Life Day - 3 year anniversary

    A buddy of mine went out for a Saturday morning ride last fall. A guy on a farm tractor on a rural road turned left right in front of him while he was doing around 50mph. He got off lucky with only bruising from his armpit to his hip and 6 broken ribs. He also doesn’t remember much of that day...

    338 Lapua Magnum

    You haven’t mentioned which rifle this Is in? I have my suspicions especially when you mention that you have been fighting it for 15 years but I’ll wait for your reply. I’ve only shot Lapua brass in my Savage 110BA without issue.

    Does anyone stand with Berger?

    When I started shooting 500M+ about 15 years ago I was shooting .308 175 SMK’s at 2625FPS out of a 1-10”twist Savage 10BA. I was able to get 0.5-0.6 MOA without too much effort. This was enough to keep me inside the V-Bull of a figure 11 target so I didn’t really look for anything else. At the...

    308 Muzzle Velocity with 175gr

    I shot 4,600 175gr SMK's in the neighborhood of 2625fps in a 24" barrel using 42.2gr of Varget. This was done with 200pcs of Lapua brass. I bought another 200pcs when I replaced the barrel. Accuracy with the factory Savage barrel was around 0.6moa.

    Did Hornady Change 147 ELD-M Bullet?

    I have shot 2,000 147 ELD-M bullets in the past 3 years. For the last 1,200 rounds I switched to the Lapua 139gr Scenar and couldn't be happier. Yes I know that the bc of the Scenar is inferior to that of the ELD-M but I am shooting smaller groups and have been scoring personal best scores in...

    737R 6 Dasher Build - Rounds Sticking In Chamber

    If you went 100 rounds after cleaning the rifle without issues I would try cleaning the rifle at 90 rounds to see if that will prevent the issue. I would also check if the OAL stays where you set it 24hrs later. I’m currently at a match and one of the competitors is saying that his rounds OAL...

    6.5 CM Ammo

    My best results at 1,000Y was Sierra Custom Competition with 140gr SMK's. I was getting around 0.6 moa vs 1.25-1.75 moa with FGMM 140 SMK's.

    How do you note your rifles current zero setting when storing a rifle?

    In the picture below you will see a piece of Coroplast attached to my Mag Block along with a Pica Dry pencil and a sharpie. I use paracord and a quick release clip so I can leave the mag block in place and take the coroplast. At the start of the day I write down all the distances and my...
