    308win Bartlein 5R vs Krieger 4 Groove Accuracy Testing

    Good Morning brianf. It shot much better than what I had experienced in the past. The groups tightened up and my scores increased significantly as did my classification(surprise, surprise). It was a very forgiving barrel. It didn't foul to speak of and cleaned real easily. Also it wasn't...

    308win Bartlein 5R vs Krieger 4 Groove Accuracy Testing

    Good Evening atvman400 To answer you question. Yes it was at Winnequah, and also Racine County Line (by the power plant amongst the cinder tailings area) and La Crosse off of Chipmunk Coulee, and Eau Claire off of 'QQ' as well as Wausau. 'Boots' use to go to most of those matches and Krieger...

    Winchester Stealth, .308, 26", 1-12" twist, Unertl 10x USMC

    It is nice to hear/see that they took the time to package the scope properly and address the care needed in shipping optics. With a case like that maybe even the delivery person, who is having 'a bad day' and decides to chuck your package over the fence instead of gingerly placing it at the...

    308win Bartlein 5R vs Krieger 4 Groove Accuracy Testing

    Many years ago I had the occasion to find myself on the firing line, in the pits or around the campfire after a match to be in the presence of a number of individuals (though not all at one time) associated with the shooting discipline. If memory serves me correctly a short list would include...

    Winchester Stealth, .308, 26", 1-12" twist, Unertl 10x USMC

    Glad I could help. Try to remember that when shooting at the longer ranges the wind at the muzzle will effect bullet drift more than the wind at the target so watch the wind flag near your firing point.. Of note is that my barrel was 24" and yours is 26" so the extra 2" you have over me might...

    Winchester Stealth, .308, 26", 1-12" twist, Unertl 10x USMC

    When I first started target shooting, Winchester Mod 70 in .308, 25" barrel and twist in 12" (give or take) was highly sought after and the 'go to' rifle at the range. I remember 3 if not 4 of my shooting buddies had that combination and shot at least 'Sharpshooter' if not 'Expert' class and I...

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    steve123 You have me beat hands down, there is no way I could keep up with your expository writing intertwined with poetry to include limericks and/or haikus. I might be able to throw in some 'Middle English', ala Chaucer and 'The Canterbury Tales' but my memory of my college years is pretty...

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    Ooooh as long as we have broken the language barrier 'so sayeth my French compadres' we might as well include the 8X50R Lebel and load a bunch of half moon magazines to shoot in our Chauchats. ......... Just kidding.

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    steve123 Very well written, had to read it several times to get through it as I would lose my place due to laughing. Always good to share some humor in these trying times. Also have to agree with the content of your post as the newer cartridges out perform the stuff I was using 3-4 decades ago.

    If you were only going to have one caliber?

    .243 .308 .30-06 But not necessarily in that order. Back when I first started shooting centerfire and got involved in metallic silhouette, there were a lot of people using 7mm08 and 308. I had gotten a good deal on a .243 and put a Weaver T-10 scope on it and shot Sierra 85gr HPBT at the...

    remington 40x in .308

    Agree with you 6brshooter that the 155 gr. bullet is used in 'The Palma Match'. My reference was to the ranges the original author was wanting to shoot at which were more in line with what would be encountered at a 'Palma Match' as opposed to 'Across the Course'. I did not get the impression...

    remington 40x in .308

    Great rifle for 'across the course' but might be stretching it at palma ranges of 800,900 and 1,000 yds. Need about 180-190 gr. bullet for the longer ranges as 168-173 gr. bullet may not be stable at the 'half mile' mark. Also 1-12 twist rate may not be enough for the heavier bullets at the...
