    Am I doing this wrong?

    Re: Am I doing this wrong? I use almost the same load as you do boltgunluvr. I use 42.3gr's. of Varget, Remington brass, in my .308 caliber 700 Remington VTR. I can't get a tight group with it. I can with other rifles I own, just not with this one, YET. I'm just going down the list and doing...

    Am I doing this wrong?

    Re: Am I doing this wrong? When I was younger I use to shoot a .220 Swift at 600 meters. That range is now a shopping mall. The .22 caliper at that range was a task. But great fun. The longer ranges are drying up around these parts. Joe

    Am I doing this wrong?

    Re: Am I doing this wrong? CEGA That's what I wanted to hear. In all honesty, I'm just trying to get the most out of the gun. I am going to try a few heavier bullets anyway so I might as well try some flat based one also. Thanks, Joe

    Am I doing this wrong?

    Am I doing this wrong?

    Subsonic .22 Ammo

    Re: Subsonic .22 Ammo This is the reason I love this forum, everyone gives great advice. I think what I'll do is buy a few boxes of different ammo and shoot it. This way I'll see what the gun likes. The grandson likes shooting it at 50 yards but I like 100. We'll make a game to see what the...

    Subsonic .22 Ammo

    Re: Subsonic .22 Ammo Thanks, I just started shooting my .22 again after 40 years. Grandkids. All the reloading I do for my centerfire rifles it's good to just grab a box of .22's and take the grandson shooting. Then to hear I'm using the wrong ammo, well this worked 40 years ago. Joe

    Subsonic .22 Ammo

    I was told that subsonic ammo is more accurate than standard .22's. Is it because of the heavier bullet or did I hear wrong altogether. Joe
