Just wondering where you f t/r guys are coming in on your rifle weight,...how close to the 18.15 lb limit? I just had a new cheek rest installed on my stock and also got a sinclair gen 3 bipod. I have an old post office digital scale and I'm right at 18.04. Anybody else running that...

Hey All, Just looking for opinions,..I know this is a lot of personal preference but I wanted to get some thoughts anyway. I currently have a P245 that I really like and it shoots good. The only gripe I have is that its grip is obviously the short compact type and its always been somewhat...

I live in KY but I'm from Okla. Going to see my mom and dad for the forth and I'm taking my F/TR gun so my dad and I can go play a little Any of you guys near Tulsa know of a public range, you know the pay $10 and shoot all day,,kind of place? I know of a public range near Sapulpa but...

For anybody who knows anything about Ft. Knox and / or Camp Atterburry F Class matches. Ft Knox Shot a few F class matches there last year. I just now see the KY state web page has been updated showing the state championship scheduled for October 2013 but I don't see any other dates...

I need some help reloading my Garand and my M1A, specifically resizing the brass. I typically set my resizing die up so that my press "cams" over and I leave it at that. I have had no problems with this set up and my rifles run just fine. But, I'm wondering if I'm doing this incorrectly and...

I wasn't for sure where post this so I put it here. I normally look into Cabelas Gun Libray on occation to look at the use guns. I just looked on their site and the Gun Library isn't even listed. WTF? Did I miss something?

I've just started shooting f/tr,..28" Krieger barrel. I've shot in three 1K matches so far and found that the 185 Berger Hybrids at about 2740 fps do very well. But, what I am seeing is that my brass is waisted in a single shot,...maybe two. I hate that may brass is gone after one / two...

I recently had a rifle built with a 4 grove Krieger 11 twist barrel and 95 palma chamber. Been working with the 155 scenar to the point that I was giving up on it, poor accuracy. I am using N140 and was up to about 45.5 - 45.7 grs and working .005 to .010 into the lands. Pretty stout loads...

I just picked up a M1A,..intend to use it for paper punching only. I understand the concept of full length vs neck sizing only and that autoloaders "always" get full length sized. So, if I use my 308 body die and then use a neck bushing die,I am certainly full length sizing. I think I would...

My wife got me the 6 disc set of the entire Pacific series for Christmas. I'm too tight to pay for HBO so I had never seen an episode before now. The weather has been crappy so I haven't been out of the house much in the last few days and I've watched every episode in about three days. I...

I have a new rifle chambered in 308 with a 95 Palma reamer. I plan to use the rifle for competion only and I'm trying to lock in on a bullet. I'm looking at the 155 scenar and the 175 SMK. I measured to the lands with a 175 SMK and it was at 2.775 which is .030 less than most manual lengths...

Looking to replace my worn RCBS press. Just getting into F/TR and was wondering what press is best for competition loading. I am using standard thread dies,..not the LE Wilson type, so I would like to stay away from the arbor presses. I've read a few things about the co-ax type presses but...

I've read some different opinions on runout gages. Are they really like fishing tackle,..meaning that they are marketed to attract fisherman / reloaders and not fish / tighter groups? If you think they are worth using, which brand would you recommend,..redding, sinclair,..etc.? Thanks for...

I'm just getting going in F/TR and I am looking at mirage bands. My question deals with how they attached to the rifel. The end towards the optic seems simple, but what about the dangerous end attachment? My new Krieger barrel has no front sight to loop over some kind of attachemnt so how...

Just had a F/TR rifle built and I'm looking for some matches in the Louisville / Indianapolis / Cincinnati area. I've heard of matches at Camp Atterbury and I've heard mention of matches at Ft. Knox. Where do F Class shooters "flock" to in this area and are those matches scheduled monthly...

I've seen many recommendations and threads here on the Hide about rear bags, recommendations, sizes, etc. and I've seen a lot of people recommending the triad bags. Those bags look very good, but for F/TR, are the bags such as the triad bags and similar okay, or is something more needed to be...

I know it hard to find what your looking for when you don't know exactly what it is,...duh! Well, that is where I am. I saw something a few months back, ..a trajectory data card, wind drift data card, etc. It was a long thread with many replys and good comments. I though it was from Triad or...

I put together some 30-06 rounds yesterday for my Garand and I saw a +/- .004 variance in my OAL after my seating usung a regular Hornady seating die. (using 168 gr. Hornady HPBT match bullets) I checked the length from the tip of the bullet,..which we all know varies but I also checked the...

I've been looking at NF scope for a few months now. I see many here in the classified for sale,...you see most of them being 15x adn 22x. What is the deal with that? IYO, do you think the lack of 32x and 42x is that people get rid of their lower powered 15s adn 22s to upgrade to the 32 or 42...

I have a McMillan A4 that is very heavy. I bought it used and think it may have sniper fill. I got a decent price so I bought site unseen. With that said, can some of the filler in the forend be removed to reduce weight without sacraficing the integrity of the stock?
