    Would you put your rifle through this!!!

    haha thanks guys for the responses I guess you have put things into perspective for me. I'm one of those people who buys nice stuff and uses it but I really like to look after all my gear. I was mainly worried around salt and rust and maybe salt on the scope. My barrel is stainless but I will...

    Would you put your rifle through this!!!

    So I have the opportunity to shoot in a location that could offer unlimited distance. Here's the catch It is only accessible by boat up a salt water river the boat I have to use is a 12ft aluminium boat. I would have to put my expensive rifle and shooting equipment in the boat for a 15 min or so...

    Oh where oh where is the 155 or 156 grain Berger 6.5?

    I personally think that berger saw sierra release the 150SMK with the huge BC and even though this is a hunting bullet and the SMK is a match I think they went back to the drawing board to try beat sierras 150 BC. Over on the longrange hunting forum BROZ early reports of BC were not as good as...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    For anyone who is interested apparently at this years world bench rest titles 1000 yard the little 6.5x47L beat all the 6mmBR variants for first place....... how good. Says he used H4350 and 140 bergers not sure if hybrids or VLD.

    6.5x47 Lapua

    A 308 pushing varget is still a much bigger bore area compared to powder charge than the 6.5x47L. If you look at the 6mm CM (competition match) was developed to be used with cooler burning H1000 to get a much better barrel life than a 6mm creedmoor or 6x47l and from all reports it achieved...

    6.5x47 Lapua

    To those using varget is anyone concerned at all about varget torching the throat area faster due to being hotter than H4350? I used varget with 123, I have a bunch loaded now with 139's however I found I hit pressure sooner with varget in my rifle 37.1 was showing pressure with 139. With H4350...

    How can I tell if I hit a steel target 800-1000yds away?

    Who fucking cares if you can or can't see a impact at 100m fuck off and post that shit somewhere else. The OP was asking a legit question which many people gave excellent feedback only to be fucked over by this 100m bullshit. I personally want to hear what methods people use to spot impacts at...

    How can I tell if I hit a steel target 800-1000yds away?

    I just wanted to share my experience with this from yesterday. I had my 18x18 inch target painted in glossy white at 700m. There was a fair bit of mirage I could see the target but not clearly. Wind from 3:30-4 at 3mph average. I could not hear or see any impacts with my 12x swfa scope. I...
