    Movie Theater Book of Eli opening 1-15-10

    Re: Book of Eli opening 1-15-10 nice variety of firearms in the movie, not just AKs and ARs. I liked the FN FAL one of Carnegie's thugs had, and of course, the classic Browning Hipower that Carnegie used.

    need to select a bullet for 1000yds

    Re: need to select a bullet for 1000yds If you have 190SMK on hand for the 308, don't discount them for the 175s unless the 175s shoot more accurately. You did say you want something easy to tune and also have no chrono. the 190's are a classic bullet for 308 long range at Camp Perry, and...

    Advanced Marksmanship different sitting positions

    Re: different sitting positions I will give it a shot...The shooter in the first picture has the rifle sitting up with a palmrest and a glove on his knee. The palmrest would be illegal in NRA hipower and impractical in tactical shooting. His body is turned at about a 45' angle to the bore...

    Is this too slow for 600 yards?

    Re: Is this too slow for 600 yards? 41.5 of IMR 4895 was the classic go to load with 168SMK in .308 back when M1A/M14 were king of the Hipower world. It was the default National Match load for .308/7.62 It has been said that if the gun won't shoot that load, its the gun (or the shooter)...

    minimum # of loads for a ladder test?

    Re: minimum # of loads for a ladder test? CCooper: If you are already getting the velocity range that you are looking for, and if you already have a load that reliably shoots .5moa, then I think you're done with load developing. the 300WSM is not a 6ppc shooting short range benchrest, and if...

    69gr HPBT SMK & RL15

    Re: 69gr HPBT SMK & RL15 you should be able to push that load a bit more. would use better brass, though. federal .223 brass are notoriusly poor as it is soft and the brass is heavy. try LC or win. even federal factory .223 loads are suspect: I was squadded next to a guy last week at Camp...

    Gunsmithing stuck barrel

    Re: stuck barrel might try some heat with a propane torch to gently warm it up. its not uncommon for AR's, especially with FF tubes to be put together with some Locktite on the threads

    Advanced Marksmanship Rapid fire field target shooting in Norway

    Re: Rapid fire field target shooting in Norway looks like he manipulates the bolt with just the index finger, similar to how D Tubb describes in his books. there is a lot less hand movement needed

    what to buy?

    Re: Question with "first round flier" for AR you didn't mention whether you are shooting with irons or scope, is your handguard floated or standard AR? how far out is that first round? in my AR's for service rifle competition, shooting 10 rd rapid fire strings with a sling and iron sights at...

    Almost a Kaboom

    Re: Almost a Kaboom BL-C2 is a ball powder, highly unlikely that it would bridge in the powder thrower. Doubt the prior round was a squib, if it was, the barrel would be blown out ala' Elmer Fudd. Clearly, you've got problems with severe overpressure, but even if you went a couple (1-2)...

    Breaking in a brand new M1A

    Re: Breaking in a brand new M1A In the M1A, I think you'd do more harm running that cleaning rod up the muzzle then any itsy bitsy improvement you "may" get from that shoot one/clean one routine.

    Group size for .22lr and open sights?

    Re: Group size for .22lr and open sights? I think you have a pretty open ended question: if you're shooting that CZ with stock "open sights" with Federal value packs, 1.5" groups at 50y is great. But if you're shooting a bonafide target rifle with better ammo, I would expect no less than...
