    sell several rifles for just one or two customs?

    I have been struggling with the idea of selling some of my factory rifles that I have bought since I was old enough to start buying, to raise some money towards one custom rifle plus optics or, two custom rifles without optics. Have any of y'all considered this move, or followed through and...

    Handload or just shoot 175 FGMM? .308

    Re: Handload or just shoot 175 FGMM? .308 Zerodown, those numbers only represent the continuous cost not the initial buy in. I was lucky enough to get a few hundred dollars worth of Cabelas gift cards a few years ago for Christmas. That is what I used for the purchase of my original set up...

    Bill Thompson Automatics

    Had a meeting in Ms. this week and made a extra effort to stop in Shelby Ms. at Bill Thompson's shop. Met Mr. Bill and Tim Ferguson after speaking to them on the phone several times over the last couple years. It was a pleasure to visit with them and watch them do some work while I was there...

    Handload or just shoot 175 FGMM? .308

    Re: Handload or just shoot 175 FGMM? .308 I started reloading for the accuracy. I ran the numbers last week on what it costs me to reload. I buy Varget by the pound not 8 pound from a local vender. I get my Sierra match kings and brass from a wholesaler our store deals with, and I buy my...

    Sierra .308 155Grain Palma Hollow Point

    Re: Sierra .308 155Grain Palma Hollow Point I started using the 2155, after I couldn't get the 168's I was used to, to shoot in my DPMS 10twist rifle. I liked them well enough to start some load tests in my rem 700. I bought the new Sierra manual and I have only found the 2155's listed and...

    ultrsonic cleaner

    I've been using an RCBS vibrating case cleaner for a few years. But, lately I've been wondering if I would be better of with an ultrsonic cleaner to CLEAN my brass in, instead of SHINING it. How many of y'all are running ultrasonic cleaners? Thanks for any info.

    Rifle Scopes Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56?

    Re: Anybody using Sightron S3 8-32x56? I was just looking at the 8-32 this morning. I went to another f-class match just outside of Memphis and I'm hooked. SWFA has them with the 1/8 moa. I'm sure it's priced right. It's a GTG place to buy.

    marlin 925 barrel swap

    Re: marlin 925 barrel swap Looks is all I'm talking. The rifle shoots very well, for the driver it has. I probably should have put the money in a Savage TR I guess.

    Re: .308 load critique/help Took it to the 600 yard line at MSSA for the f-class match. Shot the 155smk on top of 44.5 of varget, loaded to 2.798 coal. I shot 92%, averaged 185 with 7 X's. I forgot to check the wind on some of the low numbers and plane flubbed the shot on the other low...

    Re: .308 load critique/help Here is what I found today. I guess I'm going to forget the 168's, the 155's look like they'll shoot better than I can drive. These are five shot groups, the bottom target is for size info. Doc, I cornered the POA like you said.

    Re: .308 load critique/help I've never tried to "corner " my POA. I will give that a try. Also, I plan on giving myself a MOA aiming point the next time out. One inch at 300 is hard for me to see at 14 power, much less hold the same spot on it. And, are you saying use the same target with a...
