    CHRONO HELP

    Re: CHRONO HELP Chad, On my second outing with the M2 I was set up at 10' with no issues from my rifle, but a guy next to me shooting prone would give the chrono readings from his muzzle blast. After that I always set up at 15' to keep the screens away from everything. Despite that, I...

    CHRONO HELP

    Re: CHRONO HELP I have a new CED M2 and it blows. It worked OK the first time I used it, but now it only registers errors, even at 1400 on a good day. When it does work, I get between 2 to 4 readings per shot, so I don't even get to use all the bells and whistles that come with it. Before...

    155 Scenar .308 - what an I doing wrong?

    Re: 155 Scenar .308 - what an I doing wrong? I'm almost done with load development using 8208 XBR and 155 grain Nosler J4s. I started out with an OCW test using new Winchester brass with 44.5 grains up to 46 grains in .3 grain increments. My initial results mirrored most that I've read...

    mk20 MOD 0 Sniper Support Rifle

    Re: mk20 MOD 0 Sniper Support Rifle I got to handle one at the Modern Day Marine convention last year. It's a heavy beast, for sure, and I want one more than any other rifle in the world right now. Damn that thing is sexy!

    Watch Recommendation ??

    Re: Watch Recommendation ?? I have a Suunto Vector that I bought almost five years ago and had nothing but great things to say about it until recently. As others have said, the band will break. Replacing it is no big deal. After four years, the spring pin pulled through the hole on the...

    Chronograph: Questions

    Re: Chronograph: Questions I have the CED M2 and in my opinion, it's a fickle piece of junk just like all chronographs. My advice is to buy a cheap one as all of them use the same crappy sensors from China. As already said, the only nice thing about the CED is that the display is close by...

    So, exactly how temperature sensitive is Re-15?

    Re: So, exactly how temperature sensitive is Re-15? I can't tell if Varget is temp sensative or not; looking through my notes, I see a 187 fps velocity spread from the same 45 grain charge of it under a 175 grain bullet in a Winchester case throughout last year. Varget used to have a...

    So, exactly how temperature sensitive is Re-15?

    Re: So, exactly how temperature sensitive is Re-15? Ditto for me too. I was getting 2,541 on average in 70 degree temps, and 2,440ish on average at 30 degrees with a 175 grain bullet. I just bought 8 lbs of IMR 8208 and will be giving that and RL 17 a spin.

    Long range beginner

    Re: Long range beginner Your biggest decision is whether to go with a regular AR or a 308 size. If it is to punch paper, it won't matter so much, but if slaying critters larger than deer will be in its future, than go with the bigger platform. For getting into what you're looking for, my...

    Range Report Across Water shots

    Re: Across Water shots Damn! I didn't even think about the scotch factor! I shoot fine over water while drinkin the Wild Turkey, but man if my groups don't open up when I drag out the Johny Walker. As far as the ice boolits, I hear that you can take out a tango with em' and nobody can...

    Range Report Across Water shots

    Re: Across Water shots Y'all are making this way too complicated. If you harness technology as I have, and simply use the new Water App for Shooter on your Android phone, punching in a few variables will give you across-the-water first round hits!

    why not hunt with 175 smk's

    Re: why not hunt with 175 smk's It's well known that a .30 caliber hole is not nearly large enough to kill a deer! The bullet absolutely must expand a full ten times to be lethal enough to not have to hit them in the vitals. Use ballistic tips or partitions so that you can hit them anywhere...

    Reloder-17 and the 175 grain SMK

    Anyone here besides me try it? I've read the 208g AMAX thread, the 6mmBR forum article on RL17, and I've looked at Alliant's very limited data, as well as Federal's limited data; there is nothing for the 175 that I can find. About a month ago I tried a preliminary OCW test with it to see what...

    .308 FGMM w/ varget

    Re: .308 FGMM w/ varget Man that Varget is junk. I am authorized to dispose of it safely and humanely, and my suggestion is to mail it to me at once before it's too late. With that said, I have found it to be finicky from pound to pound, though you might not have much of a problem if you...

    Fed GMM 175 gr and LC M118 L R 175 Powder Data

    Re: Fed GMM 175 gr and LC M118 L R 175 Powder Data I have some more data and pictures to share. Here's a picture of my target from last week. Red circled group on the right was the first one, and the wind was gusting 10-15 mph or more and I didn't wait for it to settle; I just clicked off...

    Federal GMM powder?

    Re: Federal GMM powder? Ok, so it's not as soon as I made out, but here is an update that I posted on another thread here - http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2257795#Post2257795 Quoting myself: I pulled some FGMM 175 grain loads and measured the powder...

    Fed GMM 175 gr and LC M118 L R 175 Powder Data

    Re: Fed GMM 175 gr and LC M118 L R 175 Powder Data I pulled some FGMM 175 grain loads and measured the powder both by weight and by size awhile back. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...605#Post1507605 My conclusion is that it is 42.5 grains of Reloder 15 with some proprietary...

    Worst Reloading Mistakes

    Re: Worst Reloading Mistakes I had a handload sitting on my bench for over a year that had double fed and the brass was dented. One day I decided to recoup the undamaged 165 grain Game King sitting on top, so I pulled it. Put the funnel on top of my jar of RL15 and dumped in the contents. ...

    Rifle Scopes Want my first LR scope.

    Re: Want my first LR scope. Keep rings and bases in mind with your budget; I always forget those. A nice scope sitting in Wal-Mart rings won't be fun. I just replaced a Horus Hawk on my LR308 with a SWFA SS 10X, the non-HD one with the rear focus. I'll tell you, from the price point I am...
