    260 Imp 30 velocity gains?

    Just wondering if anyone here has played with the 260 imp 30. I have a new build coming up and need to decide on a chambering. I have been running a straight 260 with 142's @ 2800-2825, oal 2.830, 26" bartlein. I really want to try to get up to 2900+. I will be switching to AW mags so oal will...

    Minimizing powder variation - lot to lot

    Okay here's the deal. I have been buying powder when and where I could just to stock up. Nobody had any 8lb containers and I'm stuck with a bunch of lb containers. Once I get a good load, how do I keep it when changing containers? I have thought about containing all the separate containers...

    Difference between Peltor Comtac and SportTac

    What's the difference between the comtac and sport tac other than the mic boom on the comtac. I'm looking for some way to communicate on a two way while still wearing muffs. Each version has an outlet for a radio but can you use a mic and radio with the sport tac's?

    Load with brake vs not?

    I noticed the other day the the 308 load that works really well when shooting with the brake (APA LB) doesn't work at all when shooting with the brake off. It makes sense that the extra weight would change the barrel harmonics but I was wondering if this was normal or if I should work a bit...

    Found OCW, how to work on SD and ES?

    Okay so I did a ladder test and a OCW test and both showed similar results. Picked the charge and played with seating depth and now have decent groups. Now how do I go about reducing standard deviation and spread? I will be getting a CED M2 as soon as Sinclair delivers it so I want to know if...

    Is a Recon good enough?

    Right now I am using Exbal on my palm. I am looking to get either a TDS Nomad or Recon to use in the field. I cannot use FFS on the Recon since its not supported anymore. Are the extra bells and whistles of FFS IV really worth it? Seems like most of the time I'll use exbal in the morning...

    Using Sweets 7.62 and removing from barrel

    Figured I might get some good advice on this. I just got my first build finished in 308. Ended up with a Bartlein 5R M40, etc. While I totally subscribe to the only clean when necessary school, I do believe in a short break in time. I have been using Sweets 7.62 to remove the copper...

    Rem 700 338 Lapua Barrel Advice

    I posted this here instead of in the gunsmithing section because I thought it would be more useful here. Mods, if not, feel free to move it. I recently purchased a 700p 338. I've been really pleased with how it shoots but the barrel is really too thin for this caliber. It seems to heat up...

    Gunsmithing Shooting two groups within shot string

    Just need a little help here. Recently bedded a Rem 700 in an A5. Took the gun out shooting the other day and it was grouping great at 100, but producing two groups within a 5 shot string. Vertical change was almost nothing but there was about 1.5 moa horizontal between the two. I have never...

    Gunsmithing 40x trigger problem

    Okay, I'm having a problem adjusting a 40x trigger (kind with the adjustable screw that points down to lighten the pull). I can back the screw all the way out but the ball only comes out to a certain point. Mainly, the adjustment works but at the minimum setting the trigger is still stiffer...

    338 Lapua Powder

    Well, I've probably read most of the post here so I have searched! I'm going to start reloading for 338 soon, have been doing great with 308 for quite some time. Looking for a good temp stable powder for 338. People seem to be having good luck with RL25 but I've heard that it isn't that temp...

    20 MOA base for Remington 504?

    Does anyone know who makes a tapered base for a Remington 504? I can't get past 250 yds without one. Called EGW and they can make a custom one, but need either the receiver blueprints or the receiver and about 8-10 weeks. Kind of wanted to shoot the rifle this year! Offset rings would work...

    Leupold Mk 4 M3?

    Has anyone used a Leupold M3 3.5-10 scope on a .22. I just came across a nice 504T that I am building to be a trainer for my 700 and would like to use one of these scopes to shoot out to 300 yds. It would seem that the 10 power would be fine for the distance, and the coarse adjustments would...

    Rifle Scopes Help on picking top line optic.

    Okay, I've had my Leupold 3-10 Mk4 M3 for a while. Ready to upgrade. Don't think I want super high power just 15-17 max. Thinking either USO, S&B or Nightforce. Don't need illum reticle but FFP would be nice. I don't want 1/4 moa turrents (too fine) but would prefer 1/2 mil but could settle...

    Reading OCW Plots

    Was reading quite a bit on this site and learning a ton. I'm trying to develop a good load for my .308 700 VS. I've gotten pretty good results at 100 yds with 168 SMK's (.5 moa). But want to use the 175's for longer distance. Have a Mk4 M3 so want something to semi track with the dials...
