    6.5 cm for a 1000

    Makes sense what you say. Up to 1400 should work well. These bullets with standard loads go subsonic about 1600 yards which will significantly affect accuracy and thus establish the "effective range". --Jerry

    6.5 cm for a 1000

    6.5 creedmoor and .260 remington are about the same cartridge ballisticly. I am building a .260 because it is better established and there is more information, more reamers, more brass, etc out there for it. The advantage of the 6.5 creedmoor is a commitment to make "match grade" target ammo...

    F T/R Competition Camp Pendleton Long Range 10-11,12-14

    ALERT!!! The match has been cancelled this weekend. I sent a question to the Admin and got that reply back. It is also posted on the home page of the SMGunClub. Pala is having a levergun match, no rec shooting. so I think we're just out of luck for anything long range this weekend. --Jerry

    F T/R Competition Camp Pendleton Long Range 10-11,12-14

    Thanks for the hugely helpful, friendly, and welcoming replies. I'll be shooting F-open. in 6mmBR. I stay supersonic to about 1250 yds with my current load although I may use a slightly hotter load for this longer distance/tricky wind. Just a few more questions: 1. My gun weights 22 lbs on...

    F T/R Competition Camp Pendleton Long Range 10-11,12-14

    I think I'll come shoot it as a complete newbie, first time. Any logistics advice? Do I need to bring a puller? How many rounds do I need? thanks, Jerry

    Gunsmithing To rebarrel or wait.

    I'm a strong vote for the rebarrel. I'll take a slightly controversial stance and say that I'm not in favor of blueprinting. generally it is not needed and a waste of money. lapp the lugs and bush the firing pin and it will be ready to rock and roll. I have a 308 that never leaves the house...

    Damn luck or what?

    I'd say a little of both. 10" at 900 yards is just over an MOA so it is about what you would expect from a stock Rem 700 barrel. You didn't mention wind so I'm assuming no wind which makes it a lot easier. If you said you were holding 6 moa of wind I'd be very impressed. I'd say you had...

    Thank you Moon

    Group size is center to center. Think of it as the diameter of the smallest circle passing throught the center of the farthest apart shots and containing center of the rest of the shots. --Jerry

    Gunsmithing Opinions on Jet lathe and mill

    I have a Jet GH 1340 lathe that I bought about the same time. I'm not sure what the difference is in the 2 models but it looks identical and may be some of the accessories that came with it. Mine didn't come with a collect setup, for example. The lathe is made in china and I was...

    Rifle Scopes Varmint scope for cheap...flamers welcome!

    If you are shooting things that aren't moving at 400 yds, you can't beat the Sightron 36x42 for not much over $300 used or on sale. I've been using it on my 308 out to 900 yards with great success. Just replaced it with a NF 15-55X 52 Competition. --Jerry
