    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    I look forward to someone measuring from base to ogive on some of these. I have shot groups with these at 100yds and shot them out to 500yds so far and they perform the same with no change in POI or accuracy for me. If there are major differences I can't see them. Those Hornady bullets must have...

    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    I received my e-mail notice that they were in stock today at 2pm. Better late than never I guess.

    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    All I can tell is that the color may be a tad different. They look just like blems/seconds you would get from midwayusa.

    Is it over!!!????

    Once again, went into our local shop which is about 21,000 square feet and has at least 1000 guns in stock at all times. Probably more, I am just judging by what stays on the shelves. No telling what I can't see. Once again, no 22LR, a handful of .308 bullets, almost no smokeless powder, 5 or 6...

    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    They look, measure, weigh and perform like smk to me. I just got off the phone with them and all they said was "They are factory seconds from a large manufacturer." She couldn't give me anymore info than that.

    Graf .308 bullets in stock again

    Graf and sons has 155gr, 168gr and 175gr .308 bullets in stock again. From what I can tell these are SMK 2nds. I have shot the 175gr against 175gr SMK and can't tell a difference. Get em while you can. I was signed up to receive an email when they came in but I still haven't gotten an email from...

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    You hit the nail on the head. I said the same thing and I don't think a lot of people understand what you are saying. I tried explaining this to John Mcquay and he covered it on Mail Call Monday not too long ago. I don't think he understood my question either. You and I both understand that we...

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    Back in March you posted this. "I shot my new aac build today for the first time. Took awhile to get sighted in but after a few rounds it was shooting .75 in groups at 100 yards and I'm a horrible shot." This would lead me to believe that maybe you need more practice. I too considered myself a...

    Tired of going in circles trying to find an accuracy node

    Is your parallax set properly to the distance you are shooting? After you fire a round is your rifle still on target? Do you have a good repeatable cheek weld? I would shoot some 168fgmm or 175fgmm in it and see if you get the same results. Or you could have someone that you know can put down...

    OCW test advice needed

    It sounds like you covered it all to me. I was wanting to know how much you were bumping the shoulders back but you stated it. Everything sounds good. I guess it could be loose pockets. One of the big questions here may be "is it ONCE fired?". You have kinda got me stumped on this one.

    OCW test advice needed

    I don't believe it's the brass or the primers. I think something in your recipe or brass prep is causing it. You stated you are using IMR4895. The minimum for that powder and bullet combination is 41gr and maximum is 45gr. If using Hodgdon 4895(H4895) the minimum is 40gr and the maximum is...

    Rifle Scopes Scope ring height question - Vortex PST on R700 clearance

    I recently put the same scope on my aac-sd with a 20moa EGW base and Burris low rings. Looks pretty much like the clearance Papa posted in his pic. Should still have room for lens caps.

    This sucker Remington AAC-SD just won't shoot...

    I can only tell you what my AAC-SD likes. 175SMK/Remington brass(FL sized,trimmed)/WLR primers/48.7gr RL-17/2.86" OAL/2608fps avg (.6 MOA if I hold my own) Tried some 178AMAX and 175SMK with Varget and didn't really like the results.

    This sucker Remington AAC-SD just won't shoot...

    Looks like now you get to work up a whole new load. I would do an OCW test from 41-43gr of RL-15 and see where the POI changes, pick the center of that POI change and call it a day. Especially if that kind of accuracy holds up with the 168SMK.

    Rifle Scopes For the experts - scope tracking issue or something else?

    Did you have your focus set properly for the distance you were shooting?

    Rifle Scopes Budget Scope Decision

    I think you are still in the same boat at $400 but if you want MOA or MIL, variable, FFP then the Falcon Menace comes to mind in that price range though. Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Tactical 30mm Riflescope Also, Millett has a couple of scopes in that range. Can't speak for the tracking on either of...

    Rifle Scopes Budget Scope Decision

    What is your budget? Those are low budget choices for sure. You could get a much better scope like a fixed magnification SWFA for just a bit more. If you are planning on trying to hit a small x at 1000yds you will have to spend more. If you want to hit a torso at 1000yds you can get by with a...

    Varget

    You left out the bullet info. If it were me I would look at it like this; I came up with my load by using the center of a node in an OCW test. If I switched powder lots and my POI changed then I am obviously out of that node I found originally. To make sure that it wasn't just me that day or...
