    Run what you brung

    Roger that! I have been to shoots where the top shooter beat out a few hundred thousand dollars worth of gear with nothing more than a dirty old Mauser...maybe $500.00 worth with an old external adjustable scope. I have not seen this happen in some time, but as always it is the driver not the...

    Tips on getting cartridge runout under .002"?

    I do the same and to be honest I leave no stone unturned in my OCD quest for accuracy. Hell...I enjoy the process! :) As a counter point I though I would share the results of what happened when I loaded my gopher load for my new bolt 223. 52gr Speer / 25.5grs Win 748 (tossed not weighed)...

    Vectronix Terrrapin maximum range?

    There are much cheaper ways to determine those variables and everybody that is already shooting at these distances already has the baseline equipment covered. If you don't already have this equipment nor your rifles dope in use your assumption that this units inclinometer, compass, and...

    Tips on getting cartridge runout under .002"?

    Joe, I suspect the burr you are referring to (or pieces of the burr/nicks in the bullet base) accounts for many fliers. Something tells me I read something about what you are suggesting being tried before...IIRC it made the bullet harder to start straight? I can't remember for sure. Either way...

    Tips on getting cartridge runout under .002"?

    Really!? So you can outshoot Bruce Baer and his record setting 60 pound benchrest rifles with 80+ power scopes? Bruce says he can't tell the difference between a round that barely bumps a ten thou indicator and one that wobbles 6 thou. 7 thou he Can see 6 he can not. I dont think Bruce...

    Vectronix Terrrapin maximum range?

    I dont care about those things and wouldn't pay much if anything for what they offer. The difference would come in the more expensive units ability to read through crap weather

    Rookie Q; Explain .300 Win Mag

    The 308 is at its best with a bullet in the 165-180 grain class. What makes the 300Win intersting is what it does with a bullet 190-230 grain class.

    Real world ballistics 338LM vs 300WM (non-military usage)

    I have built a few big 338s and while they have a place in my collection they mostly collect dust. Until the market will accept a bullet 300+gr VLD 8-9 twist only I think it will stay that way. The 338s are costly on all fronts to include recoil. If you want to shoot something big and fun at...

    Vectronix Terrrapin maximum range?

    I came from Swaro, a few Leica LRFs, and switched to Vectronix this season. Though my experience with the Terrapin is limited what I have seen is outstanding and yes, much better than advertized. To be honest I have yet to find the range limits of this unit on man sized or animals....Far is my...

    Interested in LRI group buy-338 edge help

    I have a couple of Edge rifles built on Remingtons. An 8.5 pound hunter (complete) and a 16 pound A-5 heavy rifle. I had my mag box opened by a smith for the 300s. I got the box from Brownels...Did it about 10 years ago and cant recall the name. Remington works just fine and is plenty strong.

    6mm barrel choices or what do you run ?

    Any of the barrels mentioned are capable of benchrest accuracy...never mind what you want to accomplish. The smith you choose is far more important than the barrel you select. The Rem Sendero is a nice option for a portable rifle. The hunter benchrest works well too

    Prometheus Powder thrower (Thoughts/Experience?/Where to buy?)

    I sort of lost interest when I found it was being "leased" for 3,100.00 and 2 year wait. Nice rig though! The Prometheus is much more accurate than the Chargemaster. Faster too! A cheap powder measure for volume the the GD503 with an Omega powder trickler (or equivalent ) is as at...

    .233 build question.

    Interesting. I never ran the stability numbers and it never even occurred to me that my 8 twist would not stabilize the 80grAmax (mine shoots bugholes)? I shot all of mine and dont have a bullet to measure OAL and run it through the calculations. Does anyone have an 80Amax handy?

    6 norma br vs 6.5 creedmoor?

    My most accurate rifle is a 6mmbr....There is nothing more accurate at 600 yards, but....its a single shot for a reason. :) The 6.5X47, 260, and the Creedmore are all great choices, feed well, and are better in the windy conditions.

    Is it worth upgrading yet- and in what way?

    Consistent accuracy is the key Consistent accuracy at distance is the quest. For instance place 5- 5 shot groups in side 1/2 inch at 100 yards and your rifle is a real shooter....your probably a fair shooter yourself! Place 5-5 shot groups into 1/2 MOA at 300 yards is a significant...

    50gr Z-Max/V-Max in 30" 1-7 twist

    I just switched from 10 twist to 8 and so for mine shoot better with the fast twist. My 8 twist shoots the 52gr cheep Speer bullet (my gopher load) into a squeak over 1/4 minute out to 200yds. I have some Btip and 50 Amax ready for testing in the next couple of weeks...will let you know if you like.

    Fed vs. Win .300WM brass

    Remington is my preference. I haven't shot Federal in some time, but the last time I did it was soft as hell.

    Savage 338 Lapua Mag help!

    Take a fired case then slip in a bullet. If it goes in easy dont bother turning your necks. If you have to push like hell or cant get the bullet in with your fingers you have found your problem.
