    finally shot with the new JAE 100 chassis

    Re: finally shot with the new JAE 100 chassis Yep, I just snapped one! I'm still deciding on a scope for it and, that's an old scope mount that I'm replacing as soon as my basset mount arrives. I'm wondering if anyone offers a trigger group that is lighter than 4.5lbs? I'd love to change...

    Should have put this chassis on my rifle years ago.... wow. There's no doubt that before I put this chassis on, my bedding what shot out..... wow what a difference in accuracy this chassis has provided this rifle. The rifle is in tip top shape... it's a supermatch.... I was just crushing 4"...

    USAMU Small Arms Firing School

    Re: USAMU Small Arms Firing School Yep... it's been many years since I've done it but, we used to do it every year we went to Camp Perry. I suppose it's still the day before the High Power matches start? Back when I did it, our club became great friends with some of the AMU guys that were...

    Range Report 300 WM external velocites

    Re: 300 WM external velocites I'm fairly new to trying to get bench rest accuracy out of a rifle and, I've only done it for a couple of years now but, I've found that brass prep has done the most for accuracy improvement than anything else. I've started annealing, turning necks, deburring...

    Going Long - proposed 300WM build

    Re: Going Long - proposed 300WM build Depending on what you're wanting to spend at first, the most versatile, in my own opinion is the 700 action. If you get something with a Remington 700 action, the possibilities are limitless down the road. My current 300wm is a: 700 LA trued up action...

    Scope Mount for M1A Super Match

    Re: Scope Mount for M1A Super Match I'm going with the Basset mount. It's not as expensive as the sadlak mount and, it's got some pretty great reviews. It even doesn't lose zero after taking it off and putting it back on. http://www.bassettmachine.com/

    Advanced Marksmanship Transitioning to precision shooting.

    Re: Transitioning to precision shooting. Welcome to the site! As others have already said, it's really hard to nail down without seeing you and the rifle together. Might be the rifle... or it might be you ( depending on your expierience level ) For example, at least half the error could be...

    Advanced Marksmanship cold bore shot, how long ...

    Re: cold bore shot, how long ... Ok, obviously there are "some" rifles out there with cold bore shifts... what could they be: 1.) mechanical cold bore issues 2.) clean bore issues 3.) heat effects of the chamber/ammo With some powders, I think we should all agree that hot cartridges impact...

    .30-06 - amax or SMK bullets

    Re: .30-06 - amax or SMK bullets amax all the way. It's way higher bc and they're more consistant in length... it's a way better bullet in my 300wm. You can not even compare them in terms of how well they shoot. I think you will find most responses, if not all responses, the same for guys...

    Re: Need a good chassis for my SuperMatch M1A Yeah, I found a chassis on gunbroker. It is a G2 with the titanium lug slide upgrade and it was pretty much loaded in the colors I wanted. I snapped it up and, it arrived on Friday. The guy that I bought it from waited for it for 10mos and sold...

    308 M118 175 and IMR 4895

    Re: 308 M118 175 and IMR 4895 The recipe for M118 match OR M852 match is: LC brass ( match brass if you can find it ) but, LC has the same capacity. 41.5gr IMR 4895 and, my supermatch loves them loaded to 2.83 with the 175smk and cci primers. You can use either bullet and, the bullet...
