    Anyone used a 243wssm? What do you think? 6.5wssm

    Re: Anyone used a 243wssm? What do you think? 6.5wssm My 30" 8 twist Kreiger barreled Winchester 243 WSSM shoots steel out to 1250 yards with 105 AMax's. Longest groundhog kill SO FAR is 797 yards. But the barrel is only 2 1/2 months old with just over 500 rounds thru it. 243 WSSM, 243 AI...

    Which 7mm on which Savage?

    Re: Which 7mm on which Savage? Thanks, HighPoint. I would guess your VLP started life as a .308? Did you keep the same barrel contour with the barrel change? If I change barrel contours, I suppose I should change stocks at the same time in case I want to go back to the original barrel at...

    Which 7mm on which Savage?

    I'm planning a budget build (I'm retired) to shoot 1000 yards and maybe beyond with a bipod from a bench (my 64 year old joints aren't as flexible as they once were). I want to go with a 7mm caliber and I'm leaning toward a SAUM or 284 Winchester. And which Savage model/caliber should I choose...

    Measuring Rifle COL or COAL

    Re: Measuring Rifle COL or COAL You could put a little lube or some sort of release agent on the bullet at the ogive so it doesn't stick when you open the bolt. Or you could carefully insert a cleaning rod down the muzzle and apply very slight pressure as you open the bolt.

    (NC) 27 Aug Juniper Swamp Match

    Re: (NC) 27 Aug Juniper Swamp Match I want to thank the guys that sent me PMs. However, I'm not looking for special treatment. My wife and I live in a motorhome and travel around the USA. We are currently in Ohio visiting friends and relatives until shortly after Labor Day. Then after a...

    (NC) 27 Aug Juniper Swamp Match

    Re: (NC) 27 Aug Juniper Swamp Match Unfortunately my 64 year old neck won't allow me to do prone. I was looking for ELR from a bench.

    Alliant 4000-MR

    I'm shooting the new Alliant 4000-MR in my 243 wssm with hBN coated 105 A-Max's. This powder seems to be leaving a lot of carbon in the throat area. Anybody else burning this powder? What is the cleanest burning powder in the RL-22 burn rate range?

    Range in Wester Pa

    Re: Range in Wester Pa I grew up in western PA but never heard of Koppel. How far is it from the northern tip of the WV panhandle? My sister lives near there and I will be visiting her in about a month.

    Gunsmithing Can you recommend Jim Caudill "Mauser Man"

    Re: Can you recommend Jim Caudill "Mauser Man" Jim installed a 9 twist 27" Kreiger light varmint contour on a Winchester model 70, 223 wssm caliber for me three years ago. I couldn't get 75 A-Max's or 70 Berger VLDs to group consistently in it. So I ended up shooting 55 V-Max's in it - 1/4...

    Woody's Designated Marksman Match Sponsored By DPMS October 25th Series Finale

    Re: JUNE 25TH NC DESIGNATED MARKSMAN MATCH I must apologize for my question. If I had read the entire thread I would have seen all the photos showing shooting thru pipes and off round bales, etc. I was looking for something like Rayner's monthly long range matches. Shooting prone or from a...

    Rayner's SE Ohio Sniper Challenge Oct. 29-30

    Re: Rayner's SE Ohio Sniper Challenge Oct. 29-30 I won't be in Ohio after Labor Day. But if I was I would compete for no prizes. I think a friendly competition with all the camaraderie is the best kind of competition. Bragging rights would be enough for me. I also feel as the prize value...

    Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule

    Re: Thunder Valley Precision - Ohio 2011 Schedule Flounderv2 and J.Myers... I've been using my ARC 1600 for a couple weeks now and love it. At first I was a tad disappointed with the sharpness at the edge of the glass but I have gotten used to it. Longest range for me so far is trees at...

    Rangefinder 1000+ yds

    Re: Rangefinder 1000+ yds I've owned the Bushnell Fusion 1600 10x42 for three days now. Real impressed with the ranging - trees to 1810 yards. And I like how it will display the closest (or furthest) object when you 'wave' it over an object. I just wish glass clarity was a little better.

    Moly coated question

    Re: Moly coated question Simple Green does well at taking out moly. But I find it hard to believe a guy would give up on a bullet after only 19 rounds. How many powders did he try? Primers? Seating depths?
