    F T/R Competition I am really liking this rifle to help me read wind at 300 yards!

    Keep in mind that the velocity of which these bullets are being fired can play a huge role in wind drift from one rifle to another. I do think that a 3/4" drift with a full value cross wind at 300 yards is a little far fetched, unless you are screaming the lights out of a .223 and those 75...

    F T/R Competition I am really liking this rifle to help me read wind at 300 yards!

    I really got schooled by the wind today at a 300 yard match. Managed a 181-15x with up to 15 mph switchy tail winds that blew my 69 smks with ease.

    New to Long Range, looking for advice between these two rifles

    I'm a fan of the 700, but I'd go with the Savage and never look back, hands down that's the way it is.

    I'd be in for another precision shoot too, it's a good real world shooting experience, kind of like wood chuck hunting,,no sighter shots.

    F T/R Competition I am really liking this rifle to help me read wind at 300 yards!

    You may be right Cornhusker, I was thinking that may be true if one is using a 69 gr bullet in 6mm vs. a 69 gr bullet in .223. It seems the .223 bullet would have a better b.c. because it would be longer and skinnier. 6br with the heavy bullets and a fast twist barrel would definitely be less...

    I agree! I've shot .308 for years in match's and I've just started shooting a Savage .223, and it is wonderfull. I've been shooting 69 smk's and you definitely have to pay close attention to what the wind is doing for long string's of fire.

    It is Mecklenburg Road just as you pass through the small town of Odessa, look for Mecklenburg on the left. As soon as your on Mecklenburg you will see the club on the left. Hope to see you there!

    New reloader, made a mistake

    Take a loaded round and roll it on a flat surface, if you notice the bullet tip wobble much at all things are screwed up somewhere.

    F T/R Competition Results Odessa FV250yd F-Class August 2nd

    I'm sure it can shoot a 200 at 250 yards and 300 yards, it's just a matter of watching what the wind is doing, and not missing changes in the conditions. Wind at Springwater was calm this morning, however there was a few times I waited for the flags to settle down. My first 8 shots on the...

    The match was at Springwater, my barrel is a 7 twist and I found that it love's AA 2495 and 69 SMK's. AA 2495 is in between H4895 and IMR 4895,,, seem's to be darn good. I'll be posting the results for the Springwater match in a couple days when I get the email.
