    Need load info

    Can anyone point me to a starting load for my AR 5.56 using the Nosler 64gr Bonded bullets? DPMS 1-9 16" Rem brass Tula KVB556M CFE223/W748 Or would I just start Nosler list it for a 26" 12 twsit bolt gun only

    F T/R Competition thoughts needed

    I wonder why I always type wander. Thanks for the info. I shot it off the rest with my 308 factory barrel and it seemed ok. Just was not sure about other calibers and actually being good at tracking

    F T/R Competition thoughts needed

    If I used a bag rider on my savage FTR model rifle using a front rest, how well would this set up do if I wanted to get a switch barrel? I have a rear bag that fits my stock nicely too Just wandering thoughts on how well this set up might work for FOpen?

    F T/R Competition got to love factory barrels

    I use aluminum jag with copper solvent. To eliminate false reading. The bronze brush was only used after all else had failed. I use Kroil with JB to help get under all the fouling. Also just use Kroil to remove initial loose stuff

    F T/R Competition got to love factory barrels

    640 rounds total. I "broke" in barrel and have cleaned with wipeout and carbout every 150-180 rounds. Have JB it one other time How/where does one get barrel diamond lapped?

    F T/R Competition got to love factory barrels

    Gun wasn't shooting right. So looked down muzzle and it was a copper mine field!! So got out the cleaning box. Used carb out first. Then dry patched clean. Next I used accelerator and wipe out. And still showed the copper spot. Did wipe out again and let it sit for about 3 hours. Still had the...

    F T/R Competition New F TR Rig??

    good luck with the 175s. Mine hated them. Wasted 300 bullets trying to get a load. Tried a handful of Berger 168 hybrids and 185 LRBT and showed very good results instantly. I have a EGW 20 MOA base on mine and Burris Sig Z rings(High) and my scope barely clears the barrel. I am running a...

    F T/R Competition Favorite F-TR loads

    Berger 168 Hybrids using Varget and pushing them at 2901 FPS with ES of under 20. This load is a sub 0.5 MOA so far out to 350 yards and did well at 1000 yards. Shoots better than I can right now until I learn to read the wind

    don't forget mirage shield. Heat from barrel can appear as "mirage" in your scope too.

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR - Pet load?

    168 SMK=bad at 1000 yards for competition. I think if you start 43 and work up you will find your load. IIRC most loads with 175s are right around 44 as the accuracy load. Run on OCW test and see the powder charge window

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR - Pet load?

    mine is doing well with 168 Hybrids. It did NOT like Sierra 175s at all. Both tried with Varget and Lapua brass. In the few Berger 185 LRBT I tried it showed promise there too

    Hornady OAL guage

    To be as exact as possible the answer would be yes. You can buy the tap and make a true modified case for the tool for your rifle. Or can send it to Hornady and they will make one for you. Another option is to compare the reading using the tool on the modified case for shoulder datum(separate...

    1st OCW - Help Please

    re test and make sure all your targets are on a level line. That way POI will be easier to distinguish. Some targets are higher and some lower than others. Which makes the groups appear to be off . I would re shoot 44.0 up to 45.2 OCW gives you a "window" of charges where you have forgiveness...

    F T/R Competition Neck bushing?

    You may want a 337 bushing

    F T/R Competition Neck bushing?

    Just because it says 337 doesn't mean that is what it will size necks too. What are the necks measuring AFTER using the 335 bushing? And if you have large chamber, sizing down more than 5 thous may cause issues. It did for me. My bushings are sizing 2 thous more than printed on bushing and...

    F T/R Competition F- T/R bipod question

    Had the Sinclair gen 3 micro assist and sent out back. The fine adjustment knob had a lot of backlash. For the Duplin bipod and love it. I would say 100% better in my opinion. It is light weight and very accurate. Helps save weight on FTR rifles where we are limited. I have a Protektor...

    F T/R Competition 1000 Yard Power Setting

    I shot 1000yd match this past weekend and had scope set on 45x. And I could read the # clearly on the target. Last relay I could tell they were there but they were blurred(mirage). So it really depends on how you like to see the target I think. I like as much "zoom" as I can. All depends on...
