    Range Report Rear bags banned during club match

    I wish that were the case. LOL :) Personally, I prefer the more-or-less "standard" Christmas tree reticles; something like the Vortex EBR-2C as the Horus reticles are a distraction for my old eyes. The funny thing about using reticles, many shooters limit themselves when starting out by not...

    Range Report Rear bags banned during club match

    I agree, if you don't like the rules don't shoot the match. BUT...when I set up a match or a stage, I set it up to challenge the shooters in different ways. I do matches where the times are extremely tight with decent sized targets; I do matches where the targets are extremely small but times...

    Couple trimming questions

    While the forum is a great place to get started, testing on your own to see what "makes a difference" is the only way to have confidence in what you're doing. As with shooting, I trust no one's information. I range my own targets, call my own wind, spot my own impacts, make my own corrections...

    Mandrels expanders and different efforts

    Brass has springback. New brass is inconsistent in neck diameter/tension and therefore the springback will be inconsistent...even if using a mandrel. This is why fired brass is more consistent...you have made the necks basically the same diameter by forming them to the diameter of your chamber's...

    Accessories WTB - Very Used Game Changers

    I am looking to purchase 3 or 4 Game Changers to be used as loaners for beginning shooters at our local matches. I am not looking for pristine condition bags, just some that are usable and at an affordable price (cheap is even better). Even if you have one that needs repairs, I would be...

    Couple trimming questions

    I prep my brass to the point it is ready to load; meaning cleaned, annealed, sized, trimmed and primed. After that, I don't worry about it and they get loaded when they get loaded. The only feedback I get is from the targets and chrono numbers; I load for 10 rifles and have ES's between 15-25...

    Couple trimming questions

    I set my Giraud up to trim after sizing so the chamfers are consistent. In your case, it probably doesn't matter as long as you perform the trimming in the same sequence of case prep every time. Once the case is sized, the necks should all be the same diameter. After you run a mandrel through...

    New Barrel, Load Development help please....

    Purpose and budget. In this case the purpose is shooting steel and the budget is, not only money but, time. I think having a rifle and load that will shoot 0.5 MOA is more than adequate for what you are trying to accomplish. While some may disagree, I think most will agree that you will miss...

    New Barrel, Load Development help please....

    Since I don’t buy factory ammunition, I start right from the “get-go”. I find a load range for the caliber using the brass, powder and bullet I intend to use and load up 10 rounds of a charge weight that’s near the middle of the lower half to zero the scope. I then load up a pressure test to...

    Setting up a range out to 1 mile- Need help with target sizes

    I'm more of the belief that I want to make it challenging yet have success. As we have discussed on other threads, target size and wind have a lot to do with hit ratios and having fun. Where we shoot, winds can be very gusty at 10-40 mph over hilly, mountainous terrain. All of our steel is 1/4"...

    Chasing zeros

    Fundamentals (eye relief, trigger press and follow through, check weld, pressure on the rifle, breathing, NPA), eye fatigue, parallax, mirage, direction of light...the list goes on. Until you have solid fundamentals and can do many of the things listed above consistently regardless of shooting...

    Case prep stations

    The Lyman is a good unit. I have a Giraud for trimming but use the Lyman when prepping new brass since it does not need trimming and I don't like resetting the shell holder for depth every time I use the machine. I also use the Lyman to brush the inside of my necks after annealing to remove any...

    Redding dies

    Like most businesses, the COVID-19 shit has put them behind. One of the suppliers I deal with, Accurate Arms, said that Redding started shipping them product last week but it will still take some time before things are back to the way they were.

    Non magnum for 1500 yards

    While the 6.5x284 is a great round, barrel life leaves a little to be desired. According to some of the F-Class guys I know, 800-1200 rounds was about the limit. Of course there's always some shooter who claims he got 3500 rounds from his barrel but the majority of guys will tell you, it's a...
