    How important is metplat trimming / bullet tipping

    Re: How important is metplat trimming / bullet tipping I'm in complete agreement. Use the whidden die for various 6, 6.5, and 7mm bullets, no trimming just pointing, and find John Whiddens comments that pointing will add .015-.025 to your bc to be pretty much right on. Definitely more rounded...

    Ricochet From Steel Targets and Fires??

    Re: Ricochet From Steel Targets and Fires?? it can happen, and doesn't require AP or API to do it. I won't say it's common but I have seen it a few times in the recent drought years we have had here in the west. Some semi-regular shooting venues out here shut down in high summer for...

    Any INTEL on OTTE gear?

    Re: Any INTEL on OTTE gear? My alpine jacket (several years old) is made in USA and one of the best soft shells I have used. Being an old climber I have used many except the newest generation stuff. Only complaint about the Otte is the shoulder/arm pockets are too small, typical. About all...

    Cheytac's M200 bipod setup

    Re: Cheytac's M200 bipod setup Well, it certainly wasn't me. I communicated with Dean as per SCL's instructions, was informed refund with interest would be forthcoming around 4th of July, and nothing further. Best, James

    ITRC match

    Re: ITRC match My partner and I will be there, I expect a good contingent from the pacific NW, probably Cooley and Voight will be back to defend the title, etc. Its a great match, generally about a third mil, a third leo, and a third civilian. Extremely fun and very challenging. Best, James

    6.5x55 @2950fps

    Re: 6.5x55 @2950fps I hear you on the one powder thing, but I'm on a x47 kick at the moment, and that cartridge with RL17 has really impressed me. Don't get me wrong, love the Swede, just couldn't make it run competitively at 1k compared to 6.5-.284, but if you would settle for around 2900...

    6.5x55 @2950fps

    Re: 6.5x55 @2950fps I used to use 6.5x55 as an F class rifle, 30" 8 twist. Best velocity and accuracy combination for me was N550 with 139 scenars (moly) in Lapua brass, @2970. This was a top end load. Throat erosion at this level was comparable to 6.5-.284, accuracy at 1k was no better and...

    Gunsmithing A REALLY light tactical stock?

    Re: A REALLY light tactical stock? I've used McMillan A5 with Edge fill more or less since they first became available. Excellent piece of kit and with proper contour barrel such as Tubb, medium Palma, etc. you can have a super accurate tactical rifle capable of mounting a large heavy scope...

    9x25 Dillon-anyone have any data?

    Re: 9x25 Dillon-anyone have any data? Better would be to contact Mike at Double Tap Ammunition, who is one of the few (only?) outfits loading for it commercially. 2000fps+ with 115-124gr 9mm bullets if you can find some that will stand up to that velocity. Back in the day when IPSC major...

    308 Win Brass (GGG) & (CBC)

    Re: 308 Win Brass (GGG) & (CBC) The Lithuanian NATO (GGG) is not just good but great brass. I would swear it was made by Lapua or Lapua at least set up their plant. Necks annealed, very uniform in weight, slightly smaller internal capacity than Lake City, and capable of extraordinary...

    Hi Power shooters using XL-550 or 1050 Super

    Re: Hi Power shooters using XL-550 or 1050 Super I am using the Whidden tool head on a 550 for exactly what you describe, 77gr 5.56. Run-out is significantly better than with factory part; avg .002 with Dillon dies and good brass prep ( I send @2500 cases at a time down to this fellow in TX...

    300 whisper data needed

    Re: 300 whisper data needed 9.4 H110, 220 smk in 20" bolt gun, 8 twist, does it for me at 5200'. Pretty reasonable accuracy; if you have both Lil Gun and 110 on hand, try both over a chronograph as this chambering seems to be more "individual" than others. Best James

    Range Report Chronograph accuracy question

    Re: Chronograph accuracy question See my posts on the "PVM group buy" thread. I will say that the PVM seems to give a reading in a much larger range of light conditions than all the others out there. Confidence in the readings, however, is another matter. The issues I have been having with...

    Cheytac's M200 bipod setup

    Re: Cheytac's M200 bipod setup I'll probably be over in Jackson in the next couple of weeks and can pop over the pass; Shelley is not too far. If no one hears anything before then I will try for a face-to-face contact. Does anyone have a cellular number for Dean? I'm sure there is an...

    Is the 338 Lapua magnum accurate? Check it out!!

    Re: Is the 338 Lapua magnum accurate? Check it ou The target in the pic is AR 500 and some metric size around 3/8" made for me locally. I use a lot of LV shooter's 10x15" "mini-Larue" type targets which fold down when hit, these are excellent too. You must, however, stake these down or the...

    Range Report Lex Talus PSW/FFS programs and Dk

    Re: Lex Talus PSW/FFS programs and Dk Thanks Lindy. I've had similar experiences with same rifle, same load, different shooter and different dope, especially beyond 600, so I know that the values are not perfectly "transferable" between shooters. As you say, the value of the model is...
