    Range Report decent 300 win mag box ammo

    I am shooting inexpensive Remington core lokt 150gr and Winchester 180 gr power point as I get used to the gun, etc. What would be a decent ammo for target shooting that would be a few notches above the hunting ammo? We plan to reload the 300's as things progress (after my brother sold the...

    new gun ballistics question

    Roggom, just trying to understand what was going on, but I did shoot another box of 180's today so I guess I did burn some. I shot a box of 180gr today without touching anything and the first 5-7 shots hit the 100yd zero line plus/minus a quarter inch. The wind was gusting too hard to stay...

    new gun ballistics question

    roggom thanks for the reply. I got all that, what I can't figure is why the 180's were almost exactly 3" lower at 50 yrds vs the 150's. This was after I bore sighted and sighted the scope at 50 yards with anticipation of moving to 100yrds then 300yds. In a perfect world, the 180's according...

    new gun ballistics question

    So I took my new 700 XCR Tactical Long Range in .300 win mag to the range today, bore sighted it at 50yds and then took a few shots. The group was good of course at that range. With all the screwing around with everyone wanting to shoot it, I quickly ran thru a box of 150gr Remington Core LoKt...

    Sig SSG 3000 Patrol 18"

Also, there is a debate about the US made rifles having a two stage match trigger or not. Nobody, even the guy at...

    Talk about luck - Train Derailment

    Showed up a day late at the FFL. Went over and held it, gave it a kiss, and put it back to bed until Friday. The scope came today as well as the mounts. The bipod and cheek rest comes Friday as well. Emergency over.

    Talk about luck - Train Derailment

    I found that if you do a google search there have been like 13 train derailments listed by UPS. Sounds a little suspicious. They haven't said it was damaged yet - knock on wood. We had one of those lightning type globes shattered and it took them about a month to pay the $15. So using that...

    Talk about luck - Train Derailment

    So I agonize for over a year and finally select the gun after looking and handling probably 50. I find the right price, order the gun, fill-out the paperwork, begin waiting my 11 days here in California which is bad enough. Checked UPS today after the FFL didn't have it: San Pablo, CA...

    .300 win mag bullet tips on inexpensive ammo

    I am new to long range shooting and bought some inexpensive ammo to try out a new gun I bought. If all goes well, I'll be at the range this Saturday for the first time with this rifle. As far as ammo goes, I bought a box of Winchester Super X and another of Remington Core Lockt to break-in...
