    Remington 700p barrel change

    Re: Remington 700p barrel change I'd leave it. Plenty of rifles that shoot poorly out there to re-barrel. Or save up your money for more stuff while you shoot this barrel out. As for cleaning, if you haven't tried WipeOut and the accelerator, try it. Makes for much easier cleanup. A little...

    Photos 2nd attempt

    Re: 2nd attempt .308 shouldn't be beating me up - and it's a pretty mild load. I just need to figure out where to put the stock on my shoulder to get a good blend of comfort and proper position. I think I had it in a different spot on every shot on the first target. Tried 2 different spots on...

    Photos 2nd attempt

    I fired the first shot, and then adjusted the scope .5" to the right - was thinking about trying that on the last target as I never really "zeroed" after the scope was out of the rings. Some improvement. Still having trouble getting into a good position where the rifle stays put during recoil...

    Re: First dot-drill attempt I'll upload my 2nd attempt when I get home. Got 8 out of 15 on that one. I have fired .6ish groups from the bench with this combo, and I know there's more there with a different shooter. You could shoot a .8 group and touch a .5" dot with every shot from a .30...

    Re: First dot-drill attempt I'm signed up and trying to put the lessons into use. I'm still having a hard time with it, but I also am not much of a "rifle guy" at this point. The majority of my rifle shooting has either been .22lr, or shooting centerfires from the bench for load testing -...

    Why is target ammunition subsonic?

    Re: Why is target ammunition subsonic? Wind drift is less with a subsonic .22lr too.

    Range Report bullets for penetration

    Re: bullets for penetration Do you want it for the .308 or .338? I'd guess .308 considering your 175smk comparison. What do you actually want to penetrate? A plain .308 FMJ will do a number on just about anything you can think of (that isn't armored) inside of 100yds. Are AP bullets illegal...

    Shooter Ready?

    Re: Shooter Ready? If you want to learn ranging with Mil-Dots and holding over or dialing for range, it seems like a good teacher. I have it, but haven't used it as much as I thought I would. It takes a lot of time to do it correctly - I use a log book with the simulation. But I also always...
