    Neck Separation

    Re: Neck Separation My take on it is that he has turned the necks WAY TOO THIN. You can see a huge "step" up in OD before the neck/shoulder junction. When neck turning, you MUST turn them all the way to the shoulder. This is how you avoid "The Dreaded Doughnut" at the shoulder/neck...

    Tightening up ES and SD numbers?

    Re: Tightening up ES and SD numbers? +1 on Greg's post. Do your development at the longest range possible and find the load with the least vertical. By definition, that load has the lowest ES and SD

    Re: Homemade "shoot 'n see" target for long range Looks Great! I thought it would look good with white underneath and black on the surface! I may try it both ways and see which is easier to see at 600 or more yards...

    Homemade "shoot 'n see" target for long range

    Re: Homemade "shoot 'n see" target for long range The other cool thing is that you can just save them, spray paint over the holes and use them over and over.

    Homemade "shoot 'n see" target for long range

    My load development methods have been refined quite a bit. From group shooting at 100 to long range Audette ladders the wanted end is the same; a long range load that shows no vertical stringing. I've started doing something that is working well and seems to be a more direct route to find...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2012 Sniper's Hide Cup

    Re: Official 2012 Sniper's Hide Cup +1 to all of the positive input I've read here about the match, staff, and location; simplified so as not to be repetitive. I come from a heavy background of competitive shotgunning and target setting for Sporting Clays and FITASC. I've had the honor of...

    Hornady 6.5 CM annealed look

    Re: Hornady 6.5 CM annealed look I wore a Creedmoor barrel out with 300 pieces of Hornady Brass. I anneal every 3rd firing. I think the brass is great and needs very little prep. I always uniform the primer pockets but with the Hornady Creedmoor brass I find that the tool never even does...

    Duplicating Hornady Factory 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo

    I've been shooting a Creedmoor for about 3 years. I shot the 139 Lapua for the first barrel's life then switched to the 140 A-Max. The Factory ammo shoots incredibly well. Shot that group and thought it was lucky so I shot another at the next dot just to see.... Anyway, the factory stuff...

    Need Target Load for 30-06

    Re: Need Target Load for 30-06 Has anyone tried the 155 Scenars? Seeing how they perform in the .308 Win makes me think that shooting them in the '06 at probably over 3000 would be pretty cool.

    Unexpected Ladder Test Results

    Re: Unexpected Ladder Test Results You have a good rifle. There is so little vertical that it's tough to tell. Any of the loads will shoot well. Shots 8,9 and 10 have the least vertical between them. Load 9 will probably be your best bet. So, I would go one of two ways. 1. Pick the...
