    Range Report Dope Help .300WM

    Re: Dope Help .300WM I've pushed a 180 3100+ out of a 300WM with handloads. It is doable. Don't trust what the box says. It most likely is off. Their velocity will get you close so go with your known come-ups. Just remember, your come-ups now in warmer temps will be different than in AK when...

    Drop Tubes? Anyone make one?

    Re: Drop Tubes? Anyone make one? Before I got the Farnkford Arsenal funnel kit, I used a Wendy's or McD's straw. It worked, but a FA funnel kit is cheap, and fits over the case much easier.

    Re: When do you carry? If I leave the house, it's on my right hip. I take 5 things with me everyday- keys, cell phone, wallet, pistol and extra mag.

    Range Report 185 groups great at 300 lousy at 1,000 What happen

    Re: 185 groups great at 300 lousy at 1,000 What happen Yes, the bullet is unstable at that range. We've had the same issue with the 208. It shoots awesome at 600 and in, but at 800 and out would fall apart with a marginal twist rate and short barrel. You need more twist for that bullet. Stick...

    300gr .338 lm only please.

    Re: 300gr .338 lm only please. This page here will provide you some good data. The 300 grainers will run about 2700, give or take 50 fps either way. Retumbo, H1000, R25 are great powders for it.

    210 berger 300WM loads

    Re: 210 berger 300WM loads This link here is your best info for the 208/210 combo in the 300WM. H1000 is a great pick, as well as H4831. You will get more velocity with H1000, and maybe even more with Retumbo.

    Fine powder for 7mm RM?

    Re: Fine powder for 7mm RM? Any of your slower powders will work well. H1000, Retumbo, R25 would be top picks for the heavy bullets in 7RM. H4831, R22 would also be good.

    Range Report 223 53gr Vmax BC .290? BS?

    Re: 223 53gr Vmax BC .290? BS? The published BC of the 60 grain V-max is correct. I've shot them out to 800 in my 16" AR and they tracked well with the velocity. I haven't played with the 53 grainers. Previously, I was running the 60 V-max slow and they were key holing at 800. So, I changed...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup 2011 Bash

    Re: 2011 Bash Any word on registration timeframe? Bash should be done late afternoon on Friday. Leave RO about 6 or 7, and arrive at TV by midnight or so. Not too bad. That's a lot of ammo fired in 4 days. But would be awesome!

    Most popular weight of .308 commercial ammo?

    Re: Most popular weight of .308 commercial ammo? Wow- lots goes into this question. If you want fast and flat, the 155's are going to be very common. If you want higher BC, less wind drift with slower speeds, your 185 VLD, 190 SMK, or even you 208 A-max are common. If you split the difference...

    .338 Lapua Magnum, Remington 700 Police Reloading

    Re: .338 Lapua Magnum, Remington 700 Police Reloading H1000 will work, but you need to increase your powder charges. it will shoot best at higher pressures. 86 grains is a light load, and your velocity results show that. Get the velocity up to about 2650 to 2700 for the 300 grainers, and it...

    OCW: GAP 300WM 190gr SMK RL-22

    Re: OCW: GAP 300WM 190gr SMK RL-22 coues, You've got the sweet spot area figured out. The high 72 to low 73 grain area is it. Seat the bullet out to just touching the rifling. (i.e- when you eject a loaded round you will see slight rifling marks left on the bullet). This will be the best...
