    Advanced Marksmanship What is considered good offhand accuracy at 100 yds?

    NRA and CMP Highpower competition is a great place to look at a statistically significant number of offhand shots from which to draw some conclusions about realistic dispersion of shots in offhand shooting. The SR target, regardless of what distance it is shot at (200 full course distance/100...

    Help a Rookie Reloader Interpret Load Development - 6.5 CM

    Low ES is your best friend for repeatable POI at long range. Based on everything above, I'd load 42.2 and be done with it. Yea you can play w jump to try to tune your group size down. Your wandering POI is a symptom of shooting technique/pressures on the rifle, not the load BTW. That...

    That time of year - BEANS uh-huh; pressure cooker style

    Yea you can use a crockpot. I'm not much of a planner so the pressure cooker is nice not having to soak the beans or cook for a long time.

    Gunsmithing Can anyone confirm 25 Creedmoor uses same Go/No Go gauges as 6.5 Creed?

    Contrast that to the way chamberings were developed in the 50s - 300WM, 338WM, and 7mm Mag all have different headspace dimensions and body tapers though based on the same parent case.

    Light rifle, heavy scope

    People might comment on the confidence you have in your manhood - that would be issue #1. You most likely will also develop a passion for facial hair and a C5 Corvette. Lastly, you might find with a scope heavier than the rifle it is easier to shoot it upside down. All kidding aside, your...

    FL bushing sizing die & trimming shit-show...

    I'm in agreement on the over annealing for one, and for two the chamfer is backwards on the rounds shown above. The outside diameter should have the burr removed and a very slight almost unnoticeable bevel, while the taper cut should be on the inside. This document is upside down, but you can...

    Range Report Broken tips on Hornady 6.5 140 ELDMs

    A prominent well known shooter and innovator told me this info directly. He was developing a new LR bullet with one of the major mfrs and had developed the bullet around having a plastic tip. When on the mfr's 300 yard indoor test range, he saw that the floor from about 240 yards on was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Ruger MK3 22/45 failure to feed

    It happens on the 2nd round due to pressure on the round from the magazine spring. Pressure lessens as the mag has less rounds in it.
