    Quarter Horse, You were in 'Nam for some rough years, my friend. My tour was with the Navy(I was enlisted then) so doesn't come close to comparing to your experience. I was aware of the Douglas Ridge range, but have never shot there. Also, Tri-County(I've shot there), and I have a small private...

    Federal Premium 7.62 more accurate than 308 and hand loads: Need help

    Kevin1, I've had similar results with 4064. You're shooting position may be part of the problem, but I can't really address that without seeing you shoot. Reloads: open the neck using a proper .308 mandrel AS A SEPARATE OPERATION. This makes the mouth coencentric and has the same neck tension...

    Remington 700 5R .308 milspec HORRIBLE ACCURACY!!!!!

    tacsniper0888, I had a similar problem with a Rem 700 VS. We bedded it and target crowned the barrel. It took a gun shooting in the 1.5" range to one shooting in the .300's and .400's. Try that if the other suggestions don't work for you. Sometimes the simple stuff is all you need to make your...

    Scudzuki, Thanks for the reply. To bad the .260 isn't being made in the Remmie 5R. Lot's of great replies. I can feel the love! Still, I'm gonna keep my nomex undies handy...just in case. Wes

    Gents, Thanks for the quick replies. I agree "practical over tactical" any day. My equipment is dated, but when I pick it up it's like shaking hands with an old friend. It still does what I want. Still, I'd like to upgrade at some point in time. May have to beat my distributor up over the...

    Gents, I've been away from tactical shooting for about a decade now and at 62 it's no longer a run & gun proposition, but a interest and a hobby now. Dusted off my M40A1 clone last night in preparation for a range outing later this week. It's an Obermeyer barreled(1:10" twist) .308 built on...
