    barrel temp?

    With 308 you don't have to worry much... just shoot. Barrels are consumable. Heck! I shoot open f-class with my 338 Lapua Improved on a 100 degree temp here in So. Cal ( 25 rounds in 30 minutes). You can pretty much fry egg in my barrel after I'm done shooting. The Broughton has over 2000 rounds...

    Best 5 shot @ 1000 yards to date

    Excellent shooting man. The best I can do was 13". I did it twice during our local 1000K shoot.

    Whiskey-3 Chassis: Gen 4 is here!

    Will the stock works on a Tikka chambered for 300 WSM. If I'm reading it correctly from your website, the Gen 4 will only work on a non Magnum cartridge. Since the WSM is a short magnum, will this be a non issue. Thanks, DF

    Question about the Atlas Bipod

    LOL, thanks guys. Yes I was able to loosen it a bit more and I was able to get it to tilt and pan. I guess it was true what the guy who sold me the bipod said. It's a virgin.

    Question about the Atlas Bipod

    Guys, I just acquired an Atlas from one of the hide member here. He said it's new. I notice that the knob at the bottom of the bipod is kind of rather tight. I can only loosen it a quarter of a turn enough to pan but won't tilt. Is there a locknut inside the plastic cover on the knob to loosen...

    If you don't reload, the 30-06 will be your best choice.

    I cracked the trigger guard on my Remington 700

    Sorry Hog, I can't find the trigger guard. I just remembered, I gave it to a friend last year for his build. Grant, you can send him yours. Thanks, DF

    First Focal Plane vs Second Focal Plane for ELR

    The only advantage the FFP against the SFP is when ranging target. With FFP, you can range target at any magnification whereas the SFP has to be done usually at the highest magnification. With practice however, you can be just proficient with SFP than with FFP. I shoot Open F class and I prefer...

    IMR is a tad faster than the Hodgdon therefore NOTinterchangeable.

    .338 Lapua and 300 grain ers with Reloader 33

    i've tried H1000, Reloader 25 and Retumbo in my 338 Lapua Ackley shooting the 300 SMK. IMHO, Retumbo is the best powder for the 338 Lapua Handsdown.

    6x47 or 6.5x47

    What he said. I like the 6.5 for competition also and better barrel life when compared with 6-47.

    Trouble getting bullet out of press

    I use Lyman Orange Crusher and I barely have enough height when reloading the 338 Lapua. I've been looking and found a use Ultramag and now do all my reloading on that press, from 223 on up to my 338 Lapua.

    Single stage press upgrade advice

    I heard good things about the Co-Ax. I never own one because I already own a Redding Ultramag and a Lyman Orange Chrusher. If I wanted precision loads, I use my arbor press and Wilson dies.

    Rifle Scopes shooting with glasses

    Having a 20/10 vision in my younger years, I don't like using corrective lenses when looking through my binocular or riflescopes even though I needed them. I finally gave in and start using my glasses about 3 years ago and never look back.
