    Ackely Improved

    Howdy all. Id love to try out some Ackely Improved ammo. Im thinking maybe 223 or 243. But do any companies even build Ackley Improved rifles? Or will I have to go down the custom route? And where could I even source Ackely ammo? And can I ask, if Ackely Improved are as good as people say...

    Simple OAL question

    Is it safe to assume that in a bolt action if a round cycles properly then the OAL is fine and wont blow up or something when fired?

    Air pressure/humidity/altitude/temperature etc

    Hi all... Im shooting 223 out to about 500 yards and at the moment my only considerations before a shot are bullet drop and windage. Like most people I suspect, Im always trying to tighten my groups and push my range out further. Do you think it would be overkill to start keeping records of...

    Light bullets destroying my barrel.

    I was at the range today with my 223 1 in 8 shooting some 55grains and I got talking to a chap who told me that the 55grains are too light for my 1 in 8 and that instead of spinning they would just rip over the twist and possibly cause damage. Is that true..? Ive put about 2000 rounds of...

    Accuracy International stock on 700 just eyecandy?

    Just like the title says, all these people getting AI stocks for their 700's, is there any real point to it other than the eye candy aspect? Would I get tighter groups with an AI stock on my 700 then using a different aftermarket stock.

    How to be a better spotter

    To keep a long story short. I was shooting yesterday with a buddy who was spotting for me. Any time I was off he was able to tell me "come up 2 clicks" then when I was spotting for him all I could say was "you hit low and left", or even worse, a lot of times I didnt see where the shots went at...

    Monopod (DIY)

    I was sure that there was a DIY section on this website...?? Must be getting old. Like most people I suspect, Ive had to cut down on my spending which is a pain in the ass. SO does anybody have any ideas on how I could build a monopod for the back of my rifles.

    I just dont get it

    So the faster the twist your rifle has the heavier the bullet it can stabilise.... ok, I can accept that. But heres what I dont get. I need a 1 in 8 twist to shoot a 75 grain bullet out of my 223, but, heres the thing I can shoot 120 grains 308 with a 1 in 10 twist... So thats an even...

    Wind effect

    Im just wondering. A wind thats about 1-6 miles per hour (not a constant wind, just gusts every now and then). Would that have much effect on a 75 grain 223 at 200 meters. Im looking at a grouping I shot yesterday and theres one or two bullets that seem to be sitting away from the rest of the...
