New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
Late getting around to it but, did a trade with him back in September. Kriss Vector for a Steiner. Communication and transaction all went smooth. +1 in my book
Thanks, good to know someone else is running that load so at least it's not just me. Just out of curiosity because it may be a while before I can get back out with the chrono, what kind of velocities are you seeing?
So, I finally got a chance to do some load developing. In the past I found good results with Lapua loaded 175 scenar ammo so I figured I'd try to somewhat duplicate it. I got my hands on some Vihta Vuori N140 and loaded some with Lapua Brass and 175 SMK's. I know this powder burns a bit slower...
AZ, unfortunately, no. I did use them in the match I was in about two weeks ago, but this match only required my shots to be as accurate as "minute of steel". I will say this I honestly wouldn't trust the posted MV that Lapua posted (at least in regards to it's loaded ammo). I used those numbers...
Thank you. Your statement actually supported something I had been pondering since I first started shooting the loaded 175 Lapuas and noticed thier posted MV seemed especially slow compared to what I had been used to shooting with FGMM (SMK). I was under the impression fast bullet = better, Now I...
Thanks for the reply AZ but I was actually asking about Lapuas loaded ammo not just the projectiles. I was able to get out today and go through a few rounds to zero them in for a match tommorow. Even though they spin slower than the SMKs. They seem damn accurate. I can only imagine if I started...
Gentlemen I've been following this thread for a while and was wondering if you all could shed some light on something. I know you guys are loading the 175 scenars and I see your getting velocities ranging from 2650 +. I recently purchased loaded Lapua's loaded 175's to test in my rifle. Im...
Re: Zeroing at 300 yards?
Redmanss
I get what you're sayin..Understand the only time I actually counted clicks was during the night fire. I didn't have a choice, couldn't see the numbers on the turrets (yeah it was that dark).couldn't use white light, and very few of us had chem lights. We...
<span style="font-weight: bold">Background</span>: two weeks ago I had the chance to attend a great Beginner Intermediate precision rifle class given by BHTC. Before that I had a little experience with shooting 1,000yds modified f-class at Qauntico and even a rare tact match. Before now my scope...
Re: Falcon Menace vs. Konus M30
I'm currently using a Konus M30 mounted on Burris XTR rings, NF base. Had it for about two years and still going strong. Glass is great I don't have a prob with the mushy turrets. Yes the 1/8 can be a pain. The illuminated reticle shouldn't be a selling point...
Re: MAGPUL Dynamics Precision Rifle Training
Geez, this is all the way on the wrong side of the coast for me. Oh well, looks like I may be waiting for the video as well.
Re: Anyone chrono SWAmmo 308 175s?

JRose, What twist?
Looking at the numbers and noticing the difference in temps and the results you guys...
First off, I want to say I searched for this but I couldn't find it.
I'm curious to see what numbers some of you guys are seeing who have chronographed the SW ammo .308 175's
I'll finally be getting to test some of it this weekend. But I don't have access to a chronograph and was just...
