    Range Report Back to MT with the 308/198gr for 2000yds ELR!!!

    You are right when you say Bozeman ain't what it used to be, I was back ther about 8 years ago and I was surprised how the town had changed, and not for the best.

    Range Report Back to MT with the 308/198gr for 2000yds ELR!!!

    Yes, Bozeman is a beautiful location I liked my time in Bozeman in the mid to late 80's. The beer I drank was either homebrewed or drawn from the tap at the Scoop, the craft brewing movement was in its infancy.

    New build help

    I did not know what glass you had on the Howa, your description of how you are shooting is not that abnormal, ie 4 shots touching and one out, you left out any info on ammo shot. Have you handloaded for the rifle, if not that and practice/training will probably reduce the size of the group. I...

    New build help

    Put the Razor of you Howa and see how it shoots, I have a hunch you will be happily surprised, those Howas shoot. If the Howa shoots up to your standards take the $3k and spend it on training and ammo, two years from now you will be a better shooter that if you take the $3k and drop it into a...

    Steel Target Hit Indicator Testing

    Attached below are two images of a circuit board I designed and some PCB's made up for testing the hardware and software, this is a slight upgrade from the version I tested in a previous post. I don't see any issues with this but will get out tomorrow to test it. The first image is the base...

    Gunsmithing Smith in Minnesota?

    Jim probably did 10 barrels for me before getting my own lathe and they all shot great under 1/2 MOA on my F-class guns. Jim is also about the fastest 'smith out there, I would drop a blank and action off and less than 24 hours later I would head down to pick up the barreled action. Jim is an...

    30-06 any love anymore?

    I know the 30-06 is enough for black bears otherwise I would not bring one as a backup to be used if something happens to my 375. The 375 Ruger does not have much recoil is very accurate and will put good-sized two holes in a black bear no matter what angle the bear gives me, if a bullet...

    PRS Talk Custom dies

    A while back someone posted an alternate method to skin that cat. Get a unsized fired round from the someone who shoots the cartridge you want to chamber for and buy a quality die set in that cartridge. Resize the brass using the full length sizing die you bought. Seat a bullet in the sized...

    30-06 any love anymore?

    How can you bash a cartridge that has been killing all of North American mammals with ease except for the brown, grizz and polar bears? Then when you recall that Patton said "M1 Garand Is the Gun That Won World War II" and it was chambered in 30-06, possibly without the Garand French would have...

    Steel Target Hit Indicator Testing

    Update: After a very slow start I got some printed circuit boards back for basic system and tested it at the range today. The system is still in a prototype stage not as robust as the final version, the sensors and processor are not soldered to main board but are attached via mating headers...

    Modern Winchester 70 pros and cons?

    I love the Model 70 and the Mauser 98's for hunting rifles, I have gone into fine detail as to why in other posts so if interested just search on my name. No earth shattering reasons just what I appreciate in a hunting gun that is used out to 500 yards. A few years back I decided to build a...

    thompson center compass rifle input sought

    A friend picked one up at $199 after a $50 rebate for vets and he said it is shooting 1/2 MOA at 100 yards with factory. It is amazing how lucky we are to be able to buy such accurate rifles for little money.

    Looking to build a hunting rifle for copper bullets only.

    Have you tried Hammer bullets they are all copper and I and many others have found them to be very easy to find very accurate loads. I have only used them on one Black Bear using my 375 Ruger, the bear was quartered towards me and I hit the top of the shoulder completely shattering the shoulder...

    Help with caliber choice.

    I built a 280 AI for 1,000 yard F-class and was impressed with its accuracy and ease of finding accurate nodes. I shot my best 200 yard 5 shot group I have ever shot under a half inch, I only shoot groups when initial sorting out loads. I took the load that shot hat great 200 yards and jumped...

    Steel Target Hit Indicator Testing

    I am developing a couple of units the crawl approach that would use a flasher at the target to indicate a hit. The walk approach transmits a radio signal back to shooter to indicate a hit. The run approach would serve a group of steel targets with one output device at the shooters location...

    Gunsmithing Converting Military Mauser to .375H&H?

    I like your 9.3x62 route, I boxed up a Sears Model 50 in 30-06 that I will send out to be rebored to 9.3x62 and barrel shortened to 20", a good option for $250. I thought about bringing up the 9.3x62 but did not want to derail your original discussion. When back I will have a 3-position swing...
