    bipod height? 6-9 9-13??

    Re: bipod height? 6-9 9-13?? I have one of each. I use the 6-9 if I am shooting from a position that allows it, but sometimes, depending on the height of the grass in the pasture, etc., I need the 9-13 to get my sight line out of the grass. If I were only going to have one, it would have...

    Neck Tension vs Concentricity

    Re: Neck Tension vs Concentricity If you are concerned about neck tension, measure the inside diameter of the case mouth after you have sized the neck. That will tell you if your neck tension is consistent. For example, on my .308 brass, my finished ID on the neck after sizing is .305...

    my first shotgun reloads

    Re: my first shotgun reloads Before I had kids I used to shoot 2000 or more shells a month, all loaded on Mech 9000's. I have one for each gauge. I would not worry too much about the swirls. They are inevitable, especially with lower end hulls (Non Remington Premier). The issue is that...

    Bulk sales for Hornady V-max

    Re: Bulk sales for Hornady V-max I have been shooting the ZMax out to 300yds with good results. Cannot see any difference in accuracy or performance vs. the VMax. Based on performance on full cans of soda, the ZMax frags just like the VMax. Have shot cans where another can was behind it...

    Savage Won't Shoot

    Re: Savage Won't Shoot I would send it in and let Savage take a look at it. Both myself and my father own Savage rifles and both shoot well under MOA. That said, once you get it back, lay off the cleaning. Savage rifles seem to shoot better dirty. My model 12 is most accurate after...

    2 Groups in One?

    Re: 2 Groups in One? The screws on everything were set with a torque wrench and I verified that everything was still torqued when I returned from shooting. Cheek weld was broken after each shot. To the best of my ability I was verifying my NPA before each shot, but that does not mean I was...

    2 Groups in One?

    Re: 2 Groups in One? Yes, I do pre load the bipod, but it is possible that I may not be consistant on this. Range: 200 yds Rifle is bedded. Action screws are set with a torque wrench to 45lbs front screw, 25lbs rear screw, which has historically been the preferred settings on the rifle.

    2 Groups in One?

    While shooting my last group today (10 shots) I got an intersting result. I had 6 shots in one nice group and 4 shots in another nice group about 1 MOA above it. I had been having similar issues earlier in the day but had written those high shots off as fliers, etc. My question is what could...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Sightron

    Re: Opinions on Sightron A friend of mine bought an SIII 6-24X50 about a month ago. Glass is very clear and tracking has been spot on. I am considering buying one myself to upgrade the scope on one of my AR-15's.

    Rifle Scopes Finally got my NEW Nightforce Today!

    Re: Finally got my NEW Nightforce Today! If you are shipping something UPS you had better wrap and double box the heck out of it. The last item I shipped UPS I made the UPS store package it so that they could not say I was responsible if it came up damaged. Freight claims are a real pain...

    Rifle Scopes Millet LRS-1 scopes

    Re: Millet LRS-1 scopes I would recommend you go a different direction. I bought one. Multiple warranty returns later, Bushnell sent me a new one. I never even mounted it. Traded it off at the gun show for a loss and never looked back. Issued ranged from failure to track to turret on...

    Hornady or Hodgon load Data???

    Re: Hornady or Hodgon load Data??? My personal experience across multiple calibers with multiple powders is that the Hornady data tends to be on the low side and Hodgdon tends to be on the hot side. In many cases I been able to safely go beyond the max listed in my Hornady book without signs...

    Rifle Scopes New to the AR world and need some direction

    Re: New to the AR world and need some direction KEE, If your primary goal is to shoot coyotes then the you need to select a round with a bullet correct for the task. A FMJ or match type BTHP is not what you are looking for. You need a varmit type bullet. Typical wisdom might say a 69gr or...

    Rifle Scopes Opinions on Nikon

    Re: Opinions on Nikon For $1400 you could have a used Nightforce in either 3X15 or 5.5X22 from the optics for sale section here. A little patience might be required to wait for the right deal, but that is what I would do if I had $1400 to spend on a scope. I have a Nikkon on my 10/22 and...

    Rifle Scopes 6-24x50 SFP Scope Options

    Re: 6-24x50 SFP Scope Options A friend of mine just bought a Sightron SIII giving me the chance to look through one. I was pretty impressed. In particular I thought the glass clarity was very good. Clicks on the turrets were solid and audible. I am considering getting one for myself...

    RELOADING SUBSONIC .223 SUPRESSED.....ANY IDEAS

    Re: RELOADING SUBSONIC .223 SUPRESSED.....ANY IDEAS Try Hodgdon's Clays. 4.0 - 4.5 grains. I don't know if I am subsonic at 4.5 or not, but the accuracy is better. Will not cycle as others have mentioned. I load these for my 8 year old to shoot. Trail Boss will work, but it meters like...

    AR-15 Failure

    Re: AR-15 Failure Dixiejarhead, If you had asked me that I would have told you that I had looked for debris and that the rifle was clean. Clearly I missed something but I still have no idea where that primer was.

    AR-15 Failure

    Re: AR-15 Failure Thanks for the suggestions. I believe I found the culprit. After getting the bolt out, cleaning it for good measure, and the putting the BCA back together, I reassembled the rifle. The bolt was working fine when I put it in, but when I went to cycle it the bolt was stuck...
