    Advanced Marksmanship 186000 to 8992

    Re: 186000 to 8992 Sterling, I'll try to make a comparison from a world I'm more familiar with. I'm a GM USPSA shooter and shoot for team SV Infinity. I remember many times being at a match and watching B and C class shooters talk about the weather when a national champ is shooting a stage...

    Advanced Marksmanship 186000 to 8992

    Re: 186000 to 8992 Sterling Shooter, For me personally, I visit the marksmanship section frequently. However, I feel my experience level lends itself better to "listening" and learning rather than contributing on a topic I feel I don't have enough experience with. I don't know about the...

    Range Report 175 mk velocity

    Re: 175 mk velocity Your brand of brass will make a big difference. Winchester will have more capacity than Lapua and will need a higher charge to achieve the same velocity as Lapua. I'm running 43gr of varget with a 185 berger in a 26" krieger loaded 2.90 with wolf lr primers and could go...

    Suppressors Anyone Suppress and AR30?

    Re: Anyone Suppress and AR30? I'm running an AAC can on my Surgeon 338. Works great and actually shrinks group size ever so slightly. Recoil with the can is less than with the muzzle break.

    190gr SMKs in 308 win.

    Re: 190gr SMKs in 308 win. I run the 185 Berger BT target bullet (not the vld) out of my 308's. You give up a little elevation to the 155, but the 185 handles the wind much better.

    Rifle Scopes nightforce or schmidt and bender. im buying tomoro

    Re: nightforce or schmidt and bender. im buying to I know this wasn't listed as an option, but I have several Premier scopes and decided on them over the S&B because the glass was comparable and I liked the features and reticle better.

    Rifle Scopes horus reticle vs gen 2 xr test

    Re: horus reticle vs gen 2 xr test steve123, My thought was that if I had to go to 10mils I would be way beyond 1000 so I would probably dial then anyway.

    Gunsmithing Modifying M700 feed ramp for longer oal

    Re: Modifying M700 feed ramp for longer oal Thanks, I looked at my Surgeon's, but there doesn't seem to be as much material in the 700 as in the Surgeon. I didn't want to take too much off.

    Can anyone help me with detailed instructions or pics on how to modify a stock 700 feed ramp for use with 2.90 length rounds out of an AI mag? I've done several searches and seen it mentioned but no specifics. Thanks!

    Rifle Scopes horus reticle vs gen 2 xr test

    Re: horus reticle vs gen 2 xr test Another thing I ran into was engaging 3" round steel at 300. With the thicker lines of the horus and multiple lines in the way, as soon as a couple of hits grayed out the white paint on the steel, it made it very difficult to see where to hold. Versus the...

    Rifle Scopes horus reticle vs gen 2 xr test

    I had been pondering for some time on whether to have a Horus reticle put in one of my Premiers. After waffling back and forth multiple times, I decided to do a test. I purchased a Horus Hawk, which is a 3-12 power optic with holdovers similar to the H25 down to 8 mils to use for a test...

    Re: Best 100-2000 yards? see scenario, Intriguing. Tom said "I would say brass life, pressure to velocity ratio and accuracy and the more than proven track record. All the high end performers are so called barrel burners so that we all have to deal with. There are a lot of great performing...
