    So where are the photos??? I've been hunting around on web for photos from last week's event and can't believe no one has shared pictures yet. If anyone on this thread has some photos, please post them up or a post a link to your online album!

    30-06 Precision Rigs

    Thanks GhostFace. I'm using AICS Mags that were made for 300WM. I spoke with Scott Mcree when I got his chassis and he said he would modify the mags for me. Basically he regaps the feed lips to .400 at the rear and .405-.410 at the front of the mags. My magazines feed flawlessly -- never had a...

    My new 6.5 Grendel

    I had go back to my notes to look up ladder test results. My max load I tested with IMR 8208 XBR and 123 gr. Amax was 28.5 grains of powder. I saw no pressure signs on the brass so it seem like a safe load and I could have continued to go higher, while compacting the powder with the bullet...

    I'm a Hide member in WA state, but have family in Ogden I visit once a year. I'm interested in bringing some of my rifles out to UT some time to do some long range shooting. I'll check in later once I get some plans set in motion.

    I.O.T.A (Indoor Optical Training Aid)

    I just picked up one of these a few months ago. I also use my laptop screen as my virtual target. I have since developed a customized powerpoint slide presentation with lots of photos of different ranges with animations for targets and movers to keep things interesting.

    Rifle Scopes QD scope mount advice.

    Larue LT112. I have two of them. One is on a Premier that I use on a 338LM. The other is on a Bushnell HDMR on a 6.5 Grendel. Great QD mount that will return your scope to zero everytime. Use with confidence.

    My new 6.5 Grendel

    I've exchanged notes with a number of other 6.5 Grendel shooters while I was getting the rifle together and the 123Gr. Amax's seemed to be the most popular for a number of reasons that I won't go into here. I ended up buying 10 boxes (1000 bullets) so until I work down my stash I'll be shooting...

    My new 6.5 Grendel

    I'm not offended by the question. I have a friend that shoots a Mega Maten .308, 22" barrel with a AA 51T Brake, using 175Gr. SMKs and I've had similar conversations regarding pros/cons of going either route. From an exterior ballistics standpoint the BCs and velocities are similar, so I would...
