    6.5 creedmoor loads for JP rifles 22'' barrel

    Around 43-45gr of H4350 for the 123's and about 42gr H4350 for 139-140's. H4831sc is also worthy of a work up for the heavy's starting at about 45gr going up to 50gr. There is some news about Superperformance and H100V showing great accuracy and higher velocities with the 260 Rem. RL 15 and RL...

    So does everyone use a regular bubble level?

    Scope mounting tolerances

    I just mounted a scope with an electronic level. After getting both the rifle and scope level to zero degrees, I tightened the screws. After tightening the screws, I found a .2 degree difference. How much is too much and does .2 make a difference?

    Range Report Recovering from a slump.

    I recently went to visit relatives in Arkansas and brought my precision rifle. We ventured out to a 3,000 acre farm for some long range shooting and I couldn't hit anything. We used balloons as targets that measured about 11 inches across. I had serious trouble at 550 yards, forget 800 and...

    Interesting conversation with an 18D yesterday.

    I can say with absolute certainty he is an 18D. Back to the question, what is the reasoning for the Army not covering at least the Bill of Rights? There is certainly time for it to be included in at least one of the classroom sessions. The average IQ for enlisted soldiers from 1998-2004 was...

    Interesting conversation with an 18D yesterday.

    A friend that I was in the 82d with moved on to 18D and came to visit from Ft. Bragg this week. We were discussing the Bundy Ranch situation. He went on to say that he wishes his team was sent there to squash the whole thing. He said he would have loved to beat some of those hippies' asses...

    How old when you first broke 1000 yds?

    Flying after a reloading session and carrying a range bag past TSA

    I am going to Arkansas for a wild boar hunt/shoot on Thursday and I just loaded a bunch of 300 win mag rounds. 2 questions: 1. Has anyone ever been harassed by TSA for having nitrocellulose residue on them? 2. How about problems with a carry-on that they bring to the range with them. My...

    AR 10 build help

    I have decided to start an AR 10 build rather than order from JP, GAP, etc. To my understanding, there are two major patterns. Which is the wise choice, DPMS or Armalite? It is going to be in 260 Remington with a 22 or 24 inch barrel. Which barrel manufacturer should I go with and which bolt...

    Springfield M1A into a precision rifle...possible?

    An ACOG and the rifle with 5 magazines. I think I am going to trade the rifle plus a .50 Desert Eagle and another AR in for an AR-10 from JP or GAP. I have been waiting for a few months to place the order so now may be the time.

    Springfield M1A into a precision rifle...possible?

    My friend needs money for his divorce and offered to sell me his M1A Socom 16 for $1500. I gladly accepted and began thinking of turning it into more of a precision rifle. I can imagine a 22'' barrel, trigger, and whatever else. The problem is, I do not know much about these rifles other than...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    Oh believe me, complete idiots can get a bachelors degree. During undergrad, there were times when I wondered how those kids made it that far. The Army is full of retards that graduated from West Point.

    Anyone shooting 62 grain FMJ’s?

    My own loads of Ramshot Tac give me about 1.5 inches at 100 in mild wind with the 62 grainer. 16 inch Smith and Wesson M&P 15-T, Vortex scope. The same gun can do .75 inches with the 69 gr SMK with no wind.

    Advanced Marksmanship Holder over/off vs dialing

    During competitions under time pressure, which is the preferred method? 40 seconds to get into position then fire 5 rounds at two very different distances say, 325 and 740, seems like a hold over/off would be better, especially with significant wind. Writing the hold over on your hand then...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Liability insurance for concealed carry.

    Actually, you can and I do for my job. If I make a mistake and it is ruled to be negligence because I overlooked something or provided the wrong treatment, professional liability insurance covers me. Also, in a self defense shooting, if you miss or the bullet over penetrates and injures...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Liability insurance for concealed carry.

    So there is something called civil tort. Although you may not be held criminally liable for a self defense shooting, the person you shot or their family may have a case in civil court. In that case, rather than loose your house and possibly your entire estate, insurance may cover any damages...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Liability insurance for concealed carry.

    N. Zielmeister, thank you. What do you find in the case of Nevada, when a self defense shooting occurs and the DA does not charge the CC holder, as far as civil litigation? Wrongful death, etc.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Liability insurance for concealed carry.

    I just shortened the take up and slack in my carry gun but I left the pull weight the same as from the factory. This got me to thinking about liability insurance relating to a self defense shooting. Does anyone know anything abut that or if it falls under an umbrella policy, home owners...
