    help with 4064 and 175's

    Re: help with 4064 and 175's Hodgdon list 45.6 grains 4064 as a max (compressed) load with a 175. I've been running 45.0 grains over a 175 SMK in my Savage F/TR, CCI standard large primer, Lake City surplus brass, ~2.8" oal. The F/TR has a 30 inch barrel, and I'm getting 2790 fps with a...

    Barrel wear/pitting v velocity?

    I've got 2 older milsurp rifles that are not giving me the velocities I would expect. One is a Garand, and the other is a sporterized 1917 (barrel still 26 inches), and both 30-06. I know that every rifle is different, but my velocity is several hundred fps slower than I would expect. The...

    Advanced Marksmanship Video of different types of mirage?

    I have little to no actual experience reading mirage through a scope, as my club is not setup well for it and I don't shoot in the field. I've read tons of literature with various pictures of different types of mirage, but the mirage I have seen in person through a scope never looks like any of...

    Flush fitting AR mags?

    I'm looking for an AR magazine that is flush fitting for use in an upper I have that does not have a free floating handguard. I want to use it with a sandbag rest, but I'd rather rest it on the magwell so I don't put any pressure on the barrel. I've seen pro mag has a flush fit, but their...

    Rifle Scopes SS ok for 308?

    Re: SS ok for 308? SS scopes are rated for 50 bmg, and the guys at SWFA have ridiculously good customer service in case it does crap out on you.

    Hunting & Fishing Leopard attack

    Re: Leopard attack I've read some of Peter Capstick's books - he was a professional hunter/guide in Africa for many years and very good at writing about it. I believe he said that the most dangerous situation was when one of his clients wounded but didn't kill a leopard, as he then had to go...

    Hunting & Fishing Best military camo pattern for hunting in the Nort

    I plan to do some coyote hunting in New Hampshire and I'd like to pick up some a camo shirt and pants (I understand the more help you can get with coyotes the better). I won't go enough to justify spending big bucks on the fancy clothing and patterns aimed at hunters, so I'll probably just end...

    Fieldcraft Technique for a bipod on a hard surface?

    I've heard and experienced that bipods tend to jump unexpectedly and otherwise reduce accuracy when shot of of a hard surface, like concrete. At my range this is no problem, as I just move forward an inch or two and put the bipod on the grass. But I realize that those in the field may not have...

    Best Ballistic software?

    Re: Best Ballistic software? A little off topic, but how does the free JBM program on the internet compare to the dedicated software mentioned above? If good enough, I suppose you could use it via a smartphone, although of course that is limited to areas with a decent signal.

    What to use instead of torque wrench?

    Re: What to use instead of torque wrench? I've always just used my fingers to tighten the various screws. IMHO (and it is quite humble compared to the experience of some on here admittedly), there is a happy torque zone between not-tight-enough-to-withstand-recoil and...

    What tripod for spotting scope in prone?

    What is everyone on this board using to support your spotting scopes in prone? I'm familiar with the various hipower specific scope stands (or designed for hipower I should say), but wondering what other options are out there. I guess my main curiosity is that this board tends to focus more...

    Rifle Scopes Availability of Faclon Menace Scopes

    Re: Availability of Faclon Menace Scopes You might consider the Wotacs. www.sightwonders.com Seem to be about on par with the Falcons from the reviews I've read. And the warranty I believe is lifetime (or as long as that shop is around), which beats the Falcons.

    Re: My 20x Super Sniper seems soft Interesting. How does the 16x model fare by comparison to the 10x and 20x?

    Rifle Scopes My 20x Super Sniper seems soft

    I bought a 20x SS last year for my Savage .22, as SS scopes have a good reputation. I wanted something that was clear and tracked well. I don't have any high end scopes, but I recently did a side by side with it against my Falcon Menace 4.5-18 and a Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20. Much to...
