    .308 OCW Interpretation Help

    One thing I do when I get results similar to yours is make a seating depth adjustment, then test again.

    20 minutes,HA! I had to lap the rings and everything which is a PITA, I'm not taking any short cuts on this one, I did get her zeroed yesterday though and it tracks good. I bought the 8-32X with NP-R1 and love it so far. The only missing link now is the S8 .308 shilen select match barrel.

    Is my rifle's chamber too short?

    I've got a factory Savage 24" .308 varmint barrel off my 10FP that is currently sitting on the shelf but I remember that it measures around 2.800 with the 175SMK. I wouldn't recommend this because I think it's under the book value, but I worked back to 2.780 coal and it shot really good with...

    Advanced Marksmanship sub min of angle?

    e is shooting a 1 hole 5 shot LOL a 1 hole 5 shot group would be classified as a Sub 1/2 MOA goup or even sub 1/4 MOA group. My goal is to try to keep my 20 shot groups under 1 MOA which would be 1" or less at 100 yards or 3" or less at 300 yards I always say this dang rifle is SUB MINUTE...

    Gunsmithing Is a new crown needed?

    No, I'd cut a little off first then crown.

    New to 300 yard shooting.

    Strigidae, Keep doing what your doing that looks like a 1/2 MOA grouip. I don't think were benchrest shooting here and if a guy could hold 1/2 MOA groups consistently he would be a top of the list match shooter. Obviously you could have adjusted scope to hit more center on your target, but...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting Skills: Sniper vs Competition Shooters

    There equipment was no where near as good as it is today, but considering he got about what looks to be 300 shots in the MOA area, that is impressive. I think any given sniper could be just as good as F-class match shooters, given that the sniper puts forth the same time and regimens into...

    Got day three done tonight after work. Fouled cold bore still with around 150 since last cleaning. I already know nothing changes with a clean barrel. The bore is very smooth and never collected copper from day one. Barrel has around 600 rounds on it so far. On Sunday I ripped a 197-20x at...

    Cutting my barrel

    I cut my savage .243 sporter down to 18" I cut it with hack saw and gently turned it on a bench grinder to face things up roughly, buffed muzzle with fine disc pad, then I crowned it using a very fine grit dremmel. I used the ball shape one bigger than the caliber and let the ball center it self...

    Great shooting Nate, I think everyone is doing great so far. This is really good data to be looked at here. So far my cold bore shots were left most in the groups.

    Very impressive psinclair! I've only owned a handful of rifles and have been lucky that they all shot the same dirty of clean, and cold bore shot within the group. If I ever had a rifle that the cold bore shot was off over 1moa I wouldn't be too satisfied.

    Well, I'll tell you what,,, it'll be interesting when I shoot day 2 because on the way home from the match my friend had to lay on the brakes real hard because some moron got in the way coming up to a construction zone. Both of our rifles were in the back seat, his in a hard case and mine soft...

    I dialed left 3 clicks after shots 4 and 5 then went for the record. The 2 sighters I shot for relay 2 was right where it wanted to shoot. I held about a crosshair to the right when conditions were there. The rifle shot really good in the match, ended up with a 196-21V. That is my second best...
