    Best caliber for =<1500 yard shooting

    You should also look at the 284. Its an excellent long range round. I am only shooting the 162AMAXs and I have shot mine out to a mile. Its a hammer and you will be amazed at how well they shoot and how easy it is to get them to shoot. Plus they are good for 3000rds. So what's not to like!!

    winchester 760 powder

    748 works better in the gas guns or bolt guns.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HS LR

    They are great scopes for the money. I just finished playing with the new HS-T in the milxmil version and its a damn fine scope for about what your wanting to pay. I am waiting for the moa one to come out in Nov. They are clear, sharp, good crisp dials, zero stop, about anything you could want...

    Range Report The .280 sucks . . . ?

    You won't be disappointed with either the 284 or the 280. I have the 284 with a 28" barrel and shoot the 162s. However the brass is harder to find for the 284 but Lapua is coming back on line now. The down side of the 284 or 280 is the recoil. They are also good for close to 3000rds which is...

    Rifle Scopes My thoughts on the Viper HS-T mil mil Scope...

    I failed to mention that it also comes with a "Zero" stop and sun shade. Like I said in my post, I have been a big fan of the MK4 4.5x14 for many years and they have served me well for the most part. However the HS-T is a lot more scope with some nicer features for a lot less money. For me this...

    Rifle Scopes My thoughts on the Viper HS-T mil mil Scope...

    I just wanted to post some initial thoughts on the Vortex HS-T mil,mil scope. I have been playing with the HS-T on my 260imp 30 Degree. First off I am "NOT" a mil guy and am patiently waiting for the MOA version to come on the market. I got a chance to try out the mil,mil so I jumped on...

    What distances are you shooting your 260's

    I shot mine out to 1345yds with 123 Lapuas and it did quite well.

    .260 or .338 TRG?

    I know you asked about the 260 or the 338 Lapua but Greg is right recommending a 280. I shoot a 284 and I think you get the best of both worlds with either a 280 or 284. I have the 260 and have shot the barrel out of it a number of times and just went to the 260imp 30 degree on my last rebarrel...

    Rifle Scopes Why Vortex will continue to sell scopes

    It just keeps getting better and better. My soninlaw called the other day to say that he was notifed by the boys at the Buckstop in Belle Fouche SD that Vortex was sending out one of the new Viper HS-Ts in the mil configuration for us to try out and see what we thought of it. Tom said he knew...

    Rifle Scopes Why Vortex will continue to sell scopes

    Mr284 is way to modest on the schooling, he is the one doing that. "I used to hear his footsteps now I see his dust" . You have come a long way "Grasshopper".

    Rifle Scopes Why Vortex will continue to sell scopes

    Yesterday I had a chance to meet up and talk with a Vortex rep. He was out here in South Dakota on vaction with his family. He contacted one of his dealers in Belle Fourche SD and said he would like to get togeather with some long range shooters to find out what they wanted in longrange scopes...

    24" or 26" 300 win mag out to a mile?

    ARKEMAXUS, now that just can't be!! I read on the "Internet" that 168s won't go past 800yds without going subsonic!! Those nice groups I shot with 168MKs at 900 and 1000yds just aren't real either!!!

    Why not a 7 Rem Mag?

    The biggest problem with the 7mm mags is not the accuracy on any of them, its the barrel life. In tactical matches your barrels will get very hot in a hurry and this makes for short barrel life. My last match we shot 30 rounds in less than 15min and my 284 was very hot when I got off the line an...
