    Range Report Berger 175 OTM v. 155 Scenar Range Report

    TVP had an open range day Saturday and I finally got to compare the 175 Berger OTMs to the 155 Scenars. Not sure it was the greatest day to test as it was very windy and gusty, or maybe it was With the rolling hills at TVP the winds can swirl a lot. First up was to check the 100 yard zero and...

    Velocity Changes Over Time

    Back in Feb I got an 8 lb can of Varget that I have been loading with until last week. The original loads out of that lot were running 2900 fps with a 155 Scenar in Lapua brass with 45.4 gr of Varget and CCI 200 primers. By the end of that 8# can that load had slowed to 2800 fps and I worked...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Swap

    I have a Rem 700 308, Krieger barrel that I want to rebarrel in 260. The current barrel has about 1K rounds down the tube and will be good for a long time. Since the action has been blueprinted, would it be possible to fit a 6.5 barrel in 260, save the 308 barrel and be able to switch the...

    155 Scenar Loads for 308 Krieger 11.25 Twist

    and yes, I did a search. Didn't find what I was looking for. My initial load test went from 43.0 gr of Varget to 45.8 in .4 increments. Lapua brass, CCI 400 primers. OAL was 2.840, which put the bullet .011" in the lands. (Yes, I goofed.) At 45.4 I got the best accuracy and I started to...

    Is there a bipod adapter for this forend

    I have this AR M&P 15 and I like to be able to mount one of my Harris bi-pods to it for next weekend. I'm not really wanting to spend big bucks to get a Picatinny for-end for it though. I just need a swivel to mount the bi-pod. Any suggestions?

    308 155 Scenar Load Question

    So, I did some load testing with 155 Scenars a while back for my re-barreled 308. (Krieger 5R 11.25 twist) and I thought I had come up with a decent accuracy load. However, I discovered later that I had loaded the OALs about .011" to long. (I did not know that at the time.) Despite that, I...

    Remington 700 ADL 308 Conversion to a Tactical LR

    Back in March I picked up a 700 ADL package from Cabela's. This package included their Alpha 3x12 scope. I've had fun shooting the rifle, but now I want to turn it into a better long range tactical gun and do it on a budget of $800-$1000. Based on research I've done here, I figure I need a...
