    Rifle Scopes viper question

    Got a great deal on a 6-24x50 pst. This is my first vortex optic other than a strikefire red dot on my ar.... I have it mounted on a savage 10fcp in .308. After firing 5 or 6 shots, I have to readjust the side focus for a clear view. I also noticed that the numbers on the side focus are off on...

    Ultimate Super Sniper!

    I have that stock on a savage 223, and could have sworn it was a solid block opposed to pillar bedded, but I haven't had it off in forever so I could be wrong on that... I also have 2 choate tacticals on a savage 10fcp and a rem 700sps, both in 308, and I know for a fact they are solid block...

    shoulder bumping

    Where do you guys measure the shoulder bump when resizing? Is it measured where the body meets the shoulder, neck meets the shoulder, the datum, or any of the above? I made a gauge comparator gauge to help measure the shoulder bump, and made the measurement point on the datum (.40") on .308win...

    Range Report Questions about the Shooter app

    7 clicks is 3.5 moa which is 3.5" at 100 yds.... That would be 7" at 200 yds, 10.5" at 300 yds etc.... I have yet to experience the red velocities... I just always sinc with the weather station... This automatically sets altitude, temp, pressure etc.... Hoodlum

    Gloves

    The weather is cold and I hate fingerless gloves... Anyone found a somewhat warm pair of gloves that still offer decent trigger feel? It seems that in most cases, warmth comes with bulk... Hoodlum

    Marpat camo attempt

    I am fond of the marpat woodland digital as far as looks go... I have been debating an attempt at matching as close as possible, and since it's icy/cold outside, I thought today was adequate for some indoor projects....Realizing I can't match the digital pattern without the use of a template, I...

    bullet runout

    Made myself a tool to check bullet runout last night... Some come out within .002" and some come out as much as .005". Saw a video where a guy drilled a hole in a piece of wood to straighten the bullet out.... My question is, do I need to move the bullet only, or does the neck need to be tweeked...

    case sorting question

    Ok... I think I may have found part of my problem...I am shooting some new to me brass, that was bought de-primed, and sized.... I set up my dies with a fired case from my chamber and re-sized anyways before firing the brass....But, apparently the brass, or at least some of it, had excessive...

    case sorting question

    Mainly paper hunting out to 600 for now, but working my way out farther.. What brought me to do this was when running some loads over my chrono. I was getting some pretty erratic readings... Had one 5 shot group with an ES of 255fps... I am just eliminating variables, and since I weigh each...

    case sorting question

    I am sorting some .308 lc brass by volume.... I am filling them with water with a touch of soap for surface tension... My question is, what tolerance do you use in the groups? I have, for the majority, 55.4-56.1 gr of water, but have a few in the upper 54's and a few in the upper 56's.... Should...

    How the heck do I make a load for this?

    I have reloaded .308 for several years for a Howa 1500 and a Savage 10.... With both rifles, I could watch the groups open and close with different powder charges, oal, etc... Well, last week I bought a Remington 700sps tactical with a 20" barrel... I loaded 5 168smk's over starting load of 43.5...

    Rifle Scopes Need help - Remington 700 police 308

    I bought a model 10 savage about 8 months ago that had the exact same scope on it. I started searching for new glass, but used the sightmark in the mean time. Well, 8 months and probably 1000 rnds later the SM is still on there and doing well. It tracks perfectly. The glass does suck above 18...

    LC brass sorting

    Precision plinking!!!!! LOL.... I don't competition shoot, just paper here at the farm, but I like to get the smallest groups possible. My rifle can easily shoot .5 moa, and I try to do that at each shooting session.... Hoodlum
