    Building 338 lapua help

    Clarifying questions - what distances are you planning to shoot out to if this is to be used for bench shooting? I don't mean to offend, but even shooting ranges that go out to a 1000 yards don't give teh 338LM a chance to show off its full potential, and seems to be a waste of ammo (given the...

    Rebarreling my .30-06

    Next time I rebarrel my 30-06 it's going to be a 6.5x55 Swede. I'm a huge fan of 6.5 rounds.

    Best Kestral For Shooters?

    Pretty sure the Kestrel 4000 is lowest level model that has a DA reading.

    Shooting with Jake, of JC Steel Targets, August 24th. Ed (Sacshooter) and I are planning a little road trip out to Eastern Washington to shoot LR with Jake in his neck of the woods on August 24th. Jake is gracious to host this little outing, but we'll need to pitch in a bit to get targets...

    Newbie Checking In From Arizona

    Welcome to the hide Todd. I wish I would have gotten into LR precision shooting at an early age. Wasn't until I was in my 40s that the addiction took hold. The Remi 700s are a good platform if you want to get something good 'out of the box' that you can customize to your specific needs / tastes...

    Welcome to the Hide GWS. I'm a former Texan, moved to WA state 8 years ago. Sound's like you have some LR rigs in your stable.

    LETS SEE your reloading setup

    I've converted my home office into my man cave/reloading room/computer room. A few photos to give you a sense of the reloading bench I've built to specifically fit the space I had available. It's currently sitting between my computer desk and two large filing cabinets that I use to store...

    6.5x55 tactical rifle

    One other Newb 6.5x55 question. If you're pushing loads out past 3000 FPS what would be a general expectation of barrel life expectancy?

    6.5x55 tactical rifle

    I'm following this very interesting thread as I'm a recent convert and big fan of 6.5mm projectiles. I have a quick question - If I wanted to convert my Remy 700 in 30-06 to a 6.5x55 Swede, is the bolt face good-to-go as is?

    Rifle Scopes from S&B 5-25 to Bushnell 3.5-21 and back again

    Great review and write up Cap'n Kirk. I have both a Premier 5x25-56 and a Bushnell HDMR/H59. I'm a huge fan of the HDMR and completely agree that it's an outstanding value at its price point. I love the S&B's except I'm not ready to spend the money on one until I can spend more time behind...

    I can vouch for the Acme Diner, I was pleasantly surprised. Last week I had the best Turkey sandwich I ever ate.

    Me and Sacshooter will be up at Acme on Wednesday banging away at some steel. The more the merrier if any one wants to come out and join us.

    Reloader #19-Any Experience

    I'm glad I found this thread. I've got a nice match quality 30-06 on a trued Remi 700 action. I've run out of my powder of choice a couple of months ago (H4350) and have begun to use Varget as well as IMR 4895 to try and find another optimal load that works with this rifle. I'll have to pick up...
