    260 rem & 2000mr ladder test - initial results inside

    I use this in my .308 loads for 1000yd load. I will tell you, this powder loves to be ran on the hot end. I'm using 175gr SMK getting 2750-2760fps avg. my load is only .2gr from max. Like I said, it loves to be ran on the hot end. When I did my initial workup, I got the same kind of groups...

    Help case stuck in bullet puller

    That's what I would do. And then just do it the other way to make bullet come out again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting setup for 308...die recommendations?

    Nah, you don't have to spend $200 on dies to get quality ammo. I use Hornady FL dies and have a RCBS Neck sizing die. I do however spin the case as I'm seating the bullet to help lessen runout. I've noticed it works pretty good. Biggest thing about making sure you keep runout to a minimum is to...

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    With the way their holders are, there's not enough room to move the target down far enough. I really wish their holders were like other ranges I've been too. Their holders are made from 2x2's with cardboard backing and the legs slide over these pegs. The frame is about 2' wide by about 30" long...

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    Got to thinking, I don't know if I have anywhere I can do this test. The targets at the state ran range aren't this tall because there's a certain area on the holder you have to place your target. They don't allow you to place your own holders out there either. Reason they started doing it this...

    I'll get and do a box test once our range opens back up from the tornado damage and double check it. Thank you sir, I'll check that out and report back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    Verified distance in Memphis and Little Rock using google earth and all three were the same at the "600"yd distance. The 1000yd though, was 998yd. That one may just be the light updraft that we normally get off the 600yd berm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    Truing Ballistics question.... I verified distance for Tulsa using an app that I have that uses satellite image and the place in Tulsa is 539m so like 589yards. Just shy of 600. When I looked at my calculations in the Ballistic AE for 575 it gave me 13.1. Add another few yards to that and I'd...

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    I haven't thought about high range and low range. I generally use gps for elevation and whatnot. It gives me several particulars. As far as I know, range finders aren't allowed at a match, I know range finding scopes aren't. I'll have to take a look at Google Earth to verify distance. I use...

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    Actually, I'll probably have to wait a bit before hitting the local range. It was affected by the tornado that came through this past Sunday. Knocked the power out there. Lots a clean-up to happen first before that gets fixed I'm sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    A Kestrel is on my short list of items to get. Very short list. I absolutely agree about the trigger time. I've almost gotten to the point where I just use my log books where I record weather conditions and whatnot from my matches. I do have log books from all three spots I've shot at just so...

    Range Report Truing Ballistics question....

    Yes they are FTR loads. It automatically inputs the altitude and other weather items for me. When I correct the velocity using the app, it bumps it up to something like 2850fps which is just down right crazy. I love that ballistic AE app. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .308 155 gr vs .308 175 gr at 1k yards

    Go with the 175gr SMK. It'll be better for battling the wind over the 155gr. I push mine from a 1:12 twist going 2750fps and they do great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
