    $5 Bolt knob

    Had the Idea in my head for a while and just finally did it today. Picked up some JB Weld putty, and a can of black spray paint. Molded a ball of putty onto my bolt, then got to sanding. Just thought I would pass the idea along. I only spent 35 minutes on this but it didnt come out to bad for a...

    Range Report New Remington 700 AAC-SD .308 Report

    Wanted to add That before I even shot this rifle, I took a Dremmel tool and removed material in the barrel channel part of the stock. The purpose of this was to free it up a little otherwise the stock will contact the barrel. Not my first rodeo with these hogue stocks lol. It will do untill I...

    Range Report New Remington 700 AAC-SD .308 Report

    First five shots fired down the tube were 1/2in. Got lucky that the first load I tried was the keeper. Did testing with 175 SMK's and Honady 178 BTHP under Varget, Federal Match primers and Lapua brass seated to 2.810. Best results I got was with 44.0gr charge using the 178's. Took her out to...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell elite tactical 6-24 vs vortex viper 6-24 ffp

    Loving my Viper PST 4-16X50 right now. The reticle getting too big at 16X with FFP models like others were saying, is not even close to an issue in my opinion. Very solid optic for the money

    From Varget tto Win 748

    Picked up some Winchester 748, and was wondering what anyone has seen for different temps and accuracy, POI change, etc. Been using Varget and IMR 4064 for a couple years now but tired of literally using a spoon and the tapping of my finger to measure every single round because the shit don't...

    Rifle Scopes mil-dot Reticle off?

    I am new to using mil-dots to range out my targets, but I have tried a few different formulas to get inaccurate readings. it seems like I'm off 15 yards for every hundred, 115 when its 100, 230 when it 200, etc. are the reticles sometimes off a little?

    powder dispenser question

    Re: powder dispenser question I use a Hornady scale and have to calibrate it everyday it gets used. Another thing is that it sometimes takes a full 10-15 seconds to go up or down when I'm trying to trickle those grains at the end.

    "cheap" range finder

    Re: "cheap" range finder I use a Bushnell sport 450 that was I think $150.00 that works great for me. it gets a little tough to get readings out past 500 yards if your not steady with it. but up to 500 its perfect. I've only needed to use it out to 700 yards so cant speak for it beyond that...

    Never Go Digital!

    Re: Never Go Digital! The only thing that is consistent about consistently throwing .1 and .2 or higher, is that its fucked up... In other words, that is not consistent.

    Load Development... New Brass vs. Fire Formed ?

    Re: Load Development... New Brass vs. Fire Formed ? I just did a test at 200y to see if there was a POI change between once fired, and brand new brass and there was none. Even with seating two different neck tensions it still grouped the same with same POI. I'll let you know later today when...

    Question on neck tension

    Did a test today on a .308 for poi change with new and used brass on a fl die, half with expander ball, and half without found here . One thing I realized is that when sizing without the expander ball the inside of the neck measured .295, and with the expander ball it measured .300. If you...
