    Alliant Reloder TS15.5

    well...its December of 21, all the above is much to do about nothing. Powder availability remains near impossible including this new RL flavor. Party line is powder is all being used up by big ammo companies to make ammo (their profits are huge now) but that kind of goes flat ..no one is...

    XM177/Colt Commando/Car15

    SF guys soon learned the Swedish K was worthless in a fire fight. Let me frame this : 9mm vs 762x39. I am sure that translates 5x5. The Swedish K had a KF * factor of 10 for Rear Echelon types, really wasn't bad for a chopper pilot if he could scrounge one and just the thing to toss in your...

    Pacific Tool & Gauge drama unfolding

    Well guys, your beatings and floggings are well aimed & well deserved. : I walked into a kill zone and got zapped by PT&G. Now truth be told, I never got on their web site, I was calling every source of a 700 Remington action on Google and happened upon PT&G. My question was if my order...

    Pacific Tool & Gauge drama unfolding

    I was feeling half hopeful but reading posts that followed : starting to get the notion I am on an iceberg in the middle of the Mississippi River, adrift and melting.

    Pacific Tool & Gauge drama unfolding

    THis may all sort out but I'll just post what happened on my current build. a. Got a terrific deal on a Remington 700 barreled action. Asked specifically and was told it was a complete barreled action with complete bolt and trigger. b. 2 Month wait and considering the times, okay nothing to...

    Vandalizing an AT AICS

    The center firing points of our 1000 yd line is the AI Parking Lot. Both of the above posters .. they seem to have pallets of AI rifles or rifles bedded in AI chassis. It is not a stretch to say they and others of their AI Mafia are mostly bored early in the shooting day, its no effort for...

    Help a dummy re: Tablet for Longshot Target Camera

    I want to buy a tablet to use with my Long Shot target camera. Only want to use this tablet to see target image better. Don't want internet, movies, music, or use for any "Ap's". Only to see my target at 1000 yd line and I bought the Long Shot that goes 2 miles. So my question is: can you...

    Long range (1000 yard) reloading for 308...168 gr. SMK vs. 175 gr. SMK vs. 185 gr. Berger Juggernaut

    Lots of truths in this thread...based on their barrels...not yours. At 1000 yd line here at Quantico, 308's are on life support for precision shooting (unless you are shooting big bullseye CMP /NRA targets with large score rings). 168's stay at 600 yd line, they flounder for accuracy beyond...

    224 Valkyrie ..? what is your opinion ?

    Back to the 224V it was designed to push a .224 bullet as fast as possible with sub MOA accuracy out of a AR platform rifle So does it or is it up to opinion. Seems to me , by now, the caliber ought to stand by itself w/o much debate its a accurate sub MOA caliber at 1000 yds.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Maybe premature and too early but for now, I'll wait 18 months and see how 1000 yd accuracy is reported. Have yet to see how wonderful 224 Valkyrie is at 1000 yds. Getting too old to jump on the Too Good To Be True train over and over again. I keep getting same results ..most new calibers are...

    KRG W chassis

    I have a folder KRG W Gen 3 , Tikka 308 in the chassis. I have zero issues with this chassis. Once assembled and on the Tikka, its been perfect for me. I did put the spigot mount on the chassis and I think that really made a difference for shooting off my Atlas bipod. KRG is responsive and...

    224 Valkyrie ..? what is your opinion ?

    Gentlemen, I asked the question that started this thread 13 months ago. I , on purpose, decided to pause over a year before I looked to see what the bottom line was. Frankly, it appears 224 Valkyrie is not as advertised, 1000 yd accuracy seems problematic. The world is not running to get...

    224 Valkyrie ..? what is your opinion ?

    Gents, On the subject of 224 Valkyrie off the standard AR platform. Has anyone mastered this caliber and proven its a 1000 yd accurate caliber ? If so , please shine some light on barrel length & Twist, load and brass life. A friend of mine who put a White Oak barrel on his AR for this...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Action Build

    Guys, how about a bit of mentoring please. Would the Howa heavy barrel 26" in 6.5 Creedmoor be a good choice for 1000 yd accuracy...MOA to sub moa groups ? I'd stock it in the KRG Bravo as discussed. My concerns is Howa barrel accuracy. Also...is 26" the right length or is 24" the right...

    PU Scope Accuracy?

    THe Question is PU scope accuracy. The last 4 yrs here is my results at USMC Q uantico. a. We shoot 100 to 1000 yds iwth PU scopes. If you shoot quality loads and read winds, you are into the 9 ring easily. To get 10's , you must really aim far better. This is all on NRA bullseyes. If...

    vintage rifle match quantico

    Steve, While getting soaked at Rg 4 with you today in prep for this match, I talked long and hard to Skip and not only is the SOB coming to this match, he's got 4 Mosin PU sniper shooters teaming up with him and they all aim to give Otto a run for his money.

    Alternative Vietnam Sniper rifles

    The M1 carbine was a good jungle weapon....???? WWII weapons had their window of time in the Indochina wars and the M1 Carbine was only relevant in a short envelope of time. No one I ever knew was lamenting its demise. As to SVD Soviet Snipers in VN war....I'd toss a BS flag on that all day...
