    Rifle Scopes Leupold QRW rings?

    Friend of mine uses them and hasn't had any problems. He's got them on a 308.. In theory I can see a downside, but I'd be surprised if you encountered accuracy issues.

    Questions about Standard Deviation & Muzzle Velocity

    Regarding the standard deviation of muzzle velocities, here are my questions: 1) What is considered an excellent SD for hand loads? 2) What kind of SD do you get on your loads? 3) At what deviation do you believe the accuracy will begin to noticeably suffer? Thanks!

    Increasing Pull-Ups

    Re: Increasing Pull-Ups Right now I'm at 27 pullups. I had been at 20 for the longest time. Pullups are included into my back/bi day. When I started using a dipping belt and adding a 45lb and doing 10 then 6 then 4 reps, then moving to lat pull-downs, I was able to increase to 27 fast. I've...

    Anyone using heavier grain bullets in their 308

    Re: Anyone using heavier grain bullets in their 308 How many grains of Re15 are you using to get 2650 out of a 208 A-max? Also, is the powder crunching when seating the bullet?
