    Shooting Techniques And Low Quality Ammo

    Re: Shooting Techniques And Low Quality Ammo No, using low quality ammunition is not a bad thing at all. I shoot brown bear through my 308 which costs me $9 compared to the $25 for FGMM or $30 for Hornady superformance. That means I can shoot almost 3x more with the cheaper brown bear than...

    First rifle for kids....

    Re: First rifle for kids.... I don't have any kids, but I shot a BB and pelet gun until I was about 12. Never shot a .22lr until I was almost a teenager. But hey, hundreds of birds and squirrels met their match with my red rider!

    1:12 twist 308 help

    Re: 1:12 twist 308 help Thank you all for your help! For now I think I'll give the cheaper 175SMK a try that will hopefully help me develop a knack for reloading without burning a hole in my pocket. I just can't get my mind off the Scenars though...there's just something about them. I went...

    1:12 twist 308 help

    Re: 1:12 twist 308 help I like the Scenar because the length of the bullet seems to make it act like the 175. At least that's what a lot of folks have told me. Another highly recommended bullet is the Berger 155.5 FB, but I'm afraid my rudimentary reloading skills will be inadequate for...

    1:12 twist 308 help

    I own a Savage 12 F/TR which has a 12 twist, And I don't know where to start in bullet selection. I know, I know, shoot em all and see what my gun likes. I know that, but I'm looking for advice that might help me save some cash. Just need to get started somewhere. I'm torn between the the...

    Savage - Accustock vs. HS Precision

    Re: Savage - Accustock vs. HS Precision Get the LRP. I almost bought a LRH myself, but went with an FTR instead. I've never shot a more accurate gun in my entire life, and the LRP is just the tactical version of the FTR. Both are model 12's, and both will blow you away. If you're not going...

    Re: .308's from 1233 yards on an F-Class Target Btw, I was fortunate enough to visit Ireland for a couple weeks. It is, by far, the most beautiful corner of the world! Where exactly are the Ireland National Championships hosted? Catch ya later.
