    IMR 8208 XBR

    Re: IMR 8208 XBR Hey all. One very important thing that I failed to mention regarding 8208 with 155s in 308 Win. The max charge from IMR is listed at 45.3 grains. This charge was very hot and probably over max pressure by a wide margin. I am shooting a factory Savage Palma with a 30in...

    IMR 8208 XBR

    Re: IMR 8208 XBR Burn rate is very close to IMR 3031. It is not the powder to use with the heavy bullets is .308 WIN. Varget/RE-15 is the way to go. However, 8208 works with the 155gr bullets very well. Velocity gain is apparent, but the SD/ES is really impressive. The charge ranges are...

    Noveske SS barrel or Chrome?

    Re: Noveske SS barrel or Chrome? I have a 18in SPR 1/7 with 7PT rifling. This is the energizer bunny of barrels. Very consistent performer. Not what I would call a true Match barrel. I have a Wilson in a White Oak Service Rifle upper that edges it on accuracy, but not by much. The Noveske...

    Ar15 1000yd caliber?

    Re: Ar15 1000yd caliber? Don't forget the 6mm RAT and 6mm FAT RAT. Esentially, the same as Robert Whitley's 6AR/6AR Turbo. The benefit is that you can obtain a barrel/bolt and build your own with the RAT. The 6AR/Turbo setup has to be bought as a complete upper. For 1000yds you will need the...

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor reamer question Thanks guys, blackblue, I know I watched that video a couple of times and read that post... forgot that rifle was a 6.5 Creedmoor. Thank god for a collective memory. Again thanks for the quick replies, looks like SAAMI spec is the way to fly.

    Gunsmithing 6.5 Creedmoor reamer question

    O.k., I have searched the site to no avail. My shooting buddy and I are getting ready to build bolt guns in 6.5 Creedmoor for shooting steel and practical matches. The plan is to shoot factory ammo at least initially. The questions: Has anyone had a custom reamer spec'd that works for the...

    Rifle Scopes Which Anti-Cant Level???

    Re: Which Anti-Cant Level??? The Vortex level is nice, the offset feature is what I desired when ordering. Ultimately sent it back as it was way to bulky and interfered with mounting the scope using low rings. May be very hard to add to a scope already mounted. I plan to try Tubbs new scope...

    Droid "Shooter" ballistic program

    Re: Droid "Shooter" ballistic program As others have stated, this program is slick. I have used it, and it is so easy and quick that I can very easily get basic dope for any new shooter out for the first time and get them hits on steel at 450yds plus. The only thing that would be a...

    Which do you prefer FL or Neck sizing?

    Re: Which do you prefer FL or Neck sizing? Like Steve123, I have been using the Forster bushing/bump die in .308 for my f-class gun. It works great, allows you to vary shoulder set back, neck tension with bushings, and how much of the neck is sized. Being able to control the neck...

    Shooting Mats

    Re: Shooting Mats Arbiter, Eberlestock does make a nice looking drag bag. Just looking at it you can see that the design went well beyond the standard setup because it does have a trifold design to use it as a mat. Plus, a true backpack harness to hump it.

    Shooting Mats

    Re: Shooting Mats My most used is the larger Midway, I like the extra real estate. Especially for F-class comps. As far as mats go it is light for its size and will keep you dry. More padding than some, less than others. The pebble textured pvc pads seem cheap, but work better than I thought...

    Neil Jones Bore Guide (Pics)

    Re: Neil Jones Bore Guide (Pics) I to have recently purchased a guide from Neil Jones. Same predicament as others, Mr. Lucas sent me an email saying that he would be on extended vactation until March. I do not own a Lucas, but I could not imagine a better product. Purchased for a Savage 12...

    F T/R Competition Mirage Band?

    Re: Mirage Band? The mirage band is most helpful to me on the light wind days, or when there is little moving on the line due to the range layout. On windy days, it can become a distraction with the band moving around, and of course its need is moot. I use a rigid material vs cloth. If you...

    NRA Highpower match rifles

    Re: NRA Highpower match rifles When I got into service rifle I went with a WOA upper. NO regrets at all and that was with the Wilson barrel. The only thing that I would have changed is to build a flat top upper and use a match prepped 600yd capable carry handle sight. During load...

    Rifle Scopes F-Class Training With a 22lr and a Nightforce BR

    Re: F-Class Training With a 22lr and a Nightforce BR EGW makes nice stuff, didn't know they would make a custom piece. If you use the NF or any other scope with minimal travel (many target scopes, especially with 1 inch tubes), then go with the 30moa rail. But, that may get unwieldly with...

    Rifle Scopes F-Class Training With a 22lr and a Nightforce BR

    Re: F-Class Training With a 22lr and a Nightforce BR Excellent way to start. Using a .22 will force you to master every aspect of marksmanship as it applies to F-class.(Position behind the rifle/trigger control/bipod use) Mostly due to the fact that the in barrel time for the projectile is...

    F T/R Competition Camp Perry F Class 2112

    Re: Camp Perry F Class 2112 ryanjay11, concur with DGosnell, we just make sure that whomever is responsible for posting a new target gets the right one up. I've never seen it happen where a target switch benefitted a f-class shooter. But, the HP shooter that didn't notice he was shooting an...
