    Robert Gradous and Bartlein barrels sure get the job done!!

    I can vouch for this man's shooting and his character and I have NO doubt as to the legitimacy of his claims. GREAT shooting Joe!

    Need a good Rimfire Scope

    I did a search and didn't turn up anything useful. I am fimiliar with good glass for Precision Rifle setups but really have no clue on rimfire optics. I have or had Leupold Mark 4, Premier, NightForce, S&B, Vortex ect so I am used to good glass. What I want is something with parallex...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce question for competitive shooters

    If you want to shoot Tactical matches such as the PRS matches I would suggest the following. FFP is pretty much a MUST your just handicapping yourself if you go SFP. Pick a scope in Mils, 99.99% of the people shoot in Mils and all the suggested wind calls passed around are Mil based...

    Needing advice with a 7mm Saum shooting 180 Berger VLD Hunting bullets.... Which powder?

    Needing advice with a 7mm Saum shooting 180 Berger VLD Hunting bullets.... Which powder?

    Put 0.002-0.003" neck tension on the round and jam them 0.010-0.015". H1000 at about 65.5 is where you'll end up. Start at. 62.0gr and run it over a chrono and it will shoot between 2925 - 2975 fps. Even if you don't want to stay jammed just try it to test it for accuracy and let me know.

    7mm 180gr hybrid or VLD???

    If its not a hunting rig I would run the Hybrid. Easier to tune the load and higher BC. VLD's are very picky on seating depth. Do yourself a favor and go Hybrid.

    Need Pictures of Fluted Barrels

    Most people recommend to flute the blank before it is chambered. If done in that manner on a cut rifled barrel there should be no ill effect.

    More economical to rebuild 300 win mag or to buy a new one?

    The action is worth about 400 dollars plus what you could get for the parts. If that is more than you can sell the whole gun for (doubtful) then build off of it. But if it were me I'd sell it and use the cash towards a new build.

    6mm Creedmoor barrel twist

    8 twist would work fine. 7.7 twist would work fine. GAP uses a 8.5 to 7.7 gain twist on their team rifles.

    Aiae 260 with Lapua 260 brass, 140 Amax, and H4350

    Not sure on the AMAX but a 139 Scenar 0.010" off with Lapua Brass and a CCI BR2, if 42.0 - 42.5 grains of H4350 don't shoot start looking for a problem. For Rem brass increase load by 0.4 - 0.6 grains.

    Setting up a range...target size, etc

    I'm ALL for challenging target size but if you do not have something behind a hanging target for the bullet to impact and you do not see any splash then you get zero feed back from the shot and learn nothing from it. I have a full size IPSC with a 7.5" reactive circle in the center. Depending on...

    Sounds great, I hope a pro would be willing to shoot with me. I cook a mean spaghetti.

    Setting up a range...target size, etc

    AR-500 steel is the way to fly. 3/8" thick should work fine at those distances. 2 MOA size targets should work well up to 1K. If you can hang them so they swing or set them up to react in some way it will really help as past 800 it can be tough to call impacts especially on days with heavy mirage.
