    6 BR for Tactical Matches

    I started shooting midrange matches last year and do like my 6 BR with an 1/8 twist barrel for the 600 yard matches. I have not had a chance to shoot beyond this range and I can see the ballistics are not that great in the 900 + yard range. I would like to hear from some shooters that shoot...

    Gunsmithing switching calibers - same bolt- Remy 700

    I am considering purchasing a used Remington 700 in 7mm Mag. I would like to use the action and rebarrel to 6.5x55. Would I be able to do this and use the existing 7mm mag action. I believe the 7mm case head diameter is 0.531 and the 6.5x55 is 0.4803. This seems close, but I would like to be...

    Rather unusual 6 BR request

    I hope to receive my new Savage F Class rifle in 6 BR during the first week of December. I would like to shoot in a large regional midrange / F class during the last week of December in Florida. I have brass prepped and ready to load, but I am waiting for the rifle to see how far I should set...

    300 Win Mag questions on reloading

    I do some reloading for pistol and rifle but so far I have not reloaded a belted magnum cartridge. I purchased a new rifle in 300 Win Mag for elk and bear hunting and possibly some long range target (steel) shooting and I would like to reload my own ammo. I have heard and read that there are...

    Re: TVP Intimidator/short course schedule Pardon the question - but what kind of price range are you at with this set up? This is a rifle that I have been thinking about a lot. Perhaps I will see you at TVP this weekend.

    Recoil Induced Headaches

    Re: Recoil Induced Headaches Thanks for the suggestions. The more I read and the more I get into position without shooting I am thinking it is more of a position/fitting problem that is even more aggrevated by recoil. I have been all around the internet looking for some good information on...

    Recoil Induced Headaches

    Re: Recoil Induced Headaches I have a muzzle brake, but you are correct, they cannot be used in NRA long range matches, which is some of what I shoot. Keep the suggestions coming.

    Gunsmithing Can a muzzle brake effect accuracy?

    Re: Can a muzzle brake effect accuracy? I had a brake installed on a Model 12 Savage heavy barrel in 308. It helped quite a bit with recoil, but it did change my impact about 2" higher at 200 yards. Unfortunately, the 2" difference does not stay constant out to 1000 yards so the ballistic...

    Gunsmithing Recoil induced headache

    I have developed what I believe is a strong association with medium to large caliber (260 & 308) rifle shooting and what I call recoil induced headaches. I used to get these quite a bit with shotgun shooting until I started creating lighter loads for my 12 gauge and getting a better fitting...

    IMR 8208XBR and 260 Remington

    A friend of mine recently tried a new powder - IMR 8208 XBR in his .308 and he states it dramatically decreased his group size. I will be loading for a 260 Remington in the next month and I can only find loads for relatively light bullets on the Hodgdon site or anywhere else for that matter...

    Loads for 260 Remington

    I will be loading 260 Remington in about a month and decided that I would look to you guys for some suggested loads. I am a pretty experienced reloader with .223 and .308 so I know enough to back off a bit at the start. Give me your best shot. I will be shooting a Broughton 1:8 twist 28"...

    Variations in LC 308 brass - ramifications

    I am new to long distance shooting. I have been an avid handgun and shotgun reloader for some time and never really worried about variations in the brass affecting accuracy in my USPSA and IDPA pistol loads. I purchased 1,000 rounds of once fired 308 brass from Scharch and I will be working up...
