    F T/R Competition Reticle choice

    Re: Reticle choice I am a big fan of the NP-2DD. Have two F-Open rifles with the NF BR 12-42x56 scope with that reticle. Am building a F-TR gun, haven't decided on NF or Sightron (for cost and weight reasons), but if I go NF again, it will definitely also have the NF-2DD.

    Donuts? For you 7mm guys

    Re: Donuts? For you 7mm guys Donuts occur when you neck up because you are making neck from shoulder metal, which for many brands of brass (i.e. Lapua) is thicker than neck metal. This is how I formed .284 Win. brass from Lapua 6.5x284 brass: <ul style="list-style-type: disc">Lube inside of...

    F T/R Competition F-TR and a 308 is tuff, that is a small target

    Re: F-TR and a 308 is tuff, that is a small target I've read that you should be shooting for 2750-2800fps with the 185gr HPBT-LR. How possible that is with a shorter barrel I don't know, I'm planning to do it with a 30" 1:11.25 twist Rock barrel.
