    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    I picked up all the extras from the seller, and he included a the Ultra 2 Die Forster set. I also have H4350 and primers, so I'm sitting pretty right now. Having the rifle sent to my gunsmith to get the barreled action cerakoted all one color, thread the barrel, and give it a once over...

    LaRue OBR 7.62

    I have an OBR 5.56 and I like it and have also had a PredatAR 7.62 but sold it. Still was a good rifle though. My customer service experiences with them have been fairly limited to mainly smaller ticket items, and I never had much to complain about. However, the last time I contacted them a...

    LMT .308 MWSE in stock at Kentucky gun co.

    Ok....so I've had a man-crush on the 6.5x47 Lapua cartridge for awhile now. Last night I stumbled across a thread in the Firearms for sale section for a GAP 6.5x47 Lapua barreled action at a phenomenal price. I told myself to walk away and even posted in the thread what a great deal it is. I...

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    This thread combined with a phenomenal deal on a GAP 6.5x47 Lapua barreled action I stumbled across on here last night has led me to purchase said barreled action. I am now a 6.5x47 Lapua owner! I will be selling both of my .243's, one of which I haven't even shot yet. The rifle has an...

    To dryfire or not to dryfire???? That is the question!!!!!

    I've always dry fired for practice. I've heard it both ways though. Do it....don't do it or the world ends.... However, a few weeks ago I was dry firing my GAP .338 LM built on a Rem 700 action, and the firing pin actually flew out on one of the fires. I was planning on sending it to GAP for...

    SCAR 17 at 805 yards

    2.5-10 scope! Damn, I feel like I'm under-glassed anywhere past 50 yards if I don't have a S&B 12-50x56!

    LMT .308 MWSE in stock at Kentucky gun co.

    I think you got a steal. I just got one with 20" CL barrel, and I paid more than you, but less than the $2750, and I was told by other people on snipershide that I got a pretty great deal.

    Starting seating depth for 308

    I ended up backing it off .020 and loaded 100 rounds. I didn't have time to read through the OCW test website, so I"m sure I'm doing it the way they do. I started at 43.0 and went up in .2 increments until I reached 45.0 loading 9 rounds at each charge weight. I'm going to shoot 3, 3 shot...

    Starting seating depth for 308

    Checking it out now. Thanks.

    Starting seating depth for 308

    2.80 is COAL I believe. I'm referring to measuring from base to Ogive.

    Starting seating depth for 308

    0.010 works in the mag. I should clarify, my plan is to figure out which charge works the best, then I will work on the seating depth. What I'm trying to figure out right now is how far off the lands I should seat the bullet in order to do the OCW testing. I won't be changing the seating...

    Starting seating depth for 308

    I posted this on the reloading board, but not as many people view that as this board, and I'm trying to get these loaded tonight. I loaded about 10 rounds last month for my 308, but they were 168's, and my rifle seems to really like 175's. The 10 rounds last month were my first 10 to ever...

    First 308 loads - new reloader

    I'm not 100% sure what you mean by that. Which measurement would I use to determine that?

    First 308 loads - new reloader

    I loaded about 10 rounds last month for my 308, but they were 168's, and my rifle seems to really like 175's. The 10 rounds last month were my first 10 to ever load as I am new to reloading. I am about to load around 100 rounds with 175 SMK using Varget. Right now I'm trying to determine how...

    260 vs 6.5x47 out to 1000 yards?

    Damnit! I just sold off a Stiller Spectre action I was going to use to have a 6.5 x 47 Lapua built. I have a .243 and a ton of .243 reloading supplies, and I talked myself into saving a lot of money, upgrading .243 rifles (bought one built on Pierce action that 2 previous owners confirm/claim...

    Need a trigger - Which Geissele/Timney

    I take that back. I have the G2S on my 300 BLK that I'm going to use for hog hunting. I didn't want something as light as the SSA-E on a hunting rifle that would likely be used in the presence of other people.
