    Range Report 300BLK Accuracy??

    This is kind of what I have been hearing. I was thinking of building one to have something with more knockdown than a .223 with the 77gr bullets.More of a "When things go to hell" gun maybe using the 110 to 125gr bullets. From what I can gather if it will shoot an Inch at 100 and 2"s at 200 it...

    Range Report 300BLK Accuracy??

    What kind of real world accuracy can I expect from a 300BLK in an AR?? Not interested in the group the you shot in a "Bug Hole" but what you get for accuracy day in an day out. Like an average of 5 5 shot groups at 100 and 200 yds maybe even 300. Thanks Guys!!!

    Range Report Whats Acceptable Grouping?

    I try to get my rifles an loads to group at 1.5"s or under for 5 shots at 300yds. I had read somewhere that if your capable of that with your gun you should be competitive at 1000yds.

    Cleaning techniques. Share your opinions

    Not arguing with you about the copper but was glad that you mentioned the "POWDER" fouling. I recently had a 260imp 30 degree built and then had the barrel melonited. The barrel is super smooth and does not copper foul. I finally just quit cleaning it and ran into a problem where the accuracy...

    My problem is I live in a small town and I am sure there is no EDM cutter anywhere to be found.

    338 lapua to a mile. dope?

    I have a 284 shooting 162AMAXs and a 4.5x14 Leupold MK4 with a 20MOA base and I am on with 65 to 66MOA. A friend who was also shooting at the target had a 338 Lapua shooting 300gr Bergers and our data was nearly the same from 1500 on out. Not sure what is load was.

    Remoing the spacer on an AI mag???

    Yes, I am about .020 to long on my load with the 139 Lapua's. SporterII did you "Bow" the front of the mag with the spacer still in the mag?? If so how did you do it?? Does the mag still fit the opening without binding?? Thanks Guys!!

    Remoing the spacer on an AI mag???

    I would like to take the front spacer out of my AI mags. I notice that there are two spot welds on the front of the mag which I assume is how the spacer is attached. Can I drill that out to remove the spacer??If so do the holes need to be filled in for any reason?? Thanks guys!!

    Dramatic Loss of Accuracy past 100 yards. Anyone have any idea what is going on here

    Try doing your load development at 300yds. That's what I do for my long range shooting. I have done my preliminary testing at 100yds but then go to 300yds. I try to find a load that will print around 1.5" @ 300yds. If I get that it will shoot great on out. Not sure if you shot more than one...

    Kestrel, valuable tool or waste of money?

    I think lowlight said it correctly when he said its another "Tool" for you to use. If your shooting at the same range all year long then you may not need one. But if you travel to matches and or you shoot past 1000yds then you do need one. DA is really important to know when shooting in the...

    Range Report Ballistic Card with Density Altitude

    I use JBM to set up my cards. I dial my MOAs and I use a kestrel to get my DA. I have found that for my shooting I need to have data out to 1500yds. For my area I use DAs from 1500 to 6500ft. What I have found though is I really only need to make my extra cards( For the higher altitudes) From...

    build or buy 338 Lapua ?

    If your just banging steel or punching paper why not go with a 300WM or even a 284. I have shot my 284 out to a mile and its damn accurate. Easy on barrels and a lot cheaper to shoot. The big magnums are not all that much fun to shoot. You get a lot of blast and then they are expensive to feed.

    Factory 2nds or Blems??

    The 77gr .224 bullets I got from PV had 3 different ogive readings when I checked them with my bullet comparator. If I recall correctly they measured 1.572 to 1.595 They ended up in three different groups. one group was at the 1.572 range the next was at 1.585 the last group at 1.595 all plus or...

    RRA-Predator or DPMS Varminter

    RR would get my vote. I just bought a RR 20" Predator and its unreal how well this thing shoots!! I am shooting the 77gr bullets and it has averaged .520 for 8 5 shot groups at 100yds. I shot it last night at 200 and 300yds and the group at 200 was 1.2" and the group at 300 was 1.38" for 5...

    AR-15 Match Grade Recommendations.. New to AR's

    I just bought a RRA prediator in the 20" to shoot out to 600yds using the 75 to 77gr bullets. I put a scope on it last night and tried it out at 100yds to see how it would shoot with 75gr Hornady, 77gr SMKs and 77gr Noz. bullets. I was very pleased with how well it shot. I had a .490 group...
