    What kind of precision do you expect from various rifles?

    Where would the line of acceptability be for you in the instances of: -A light weight hunting rifle (Tikka T3 lite) -Entry/Mid level tactical rifle (700P/700 5R) -High end factory (Sako TRG/AI) -Full custom (GAP/Tac-Ops) From what I have seen, I expect ~1 MOA or better from a light hunting...

    How to verify anemometer accuracy?

    So I'm making due on a student's budget and I bought a cheap anemometer. I was just wondering what the best way of verifying the accuracy would be. I thought maybe holding it out of a car window, but I don't know if the aerodynamics would cause the wind speed to be different than the car...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Accuracy for IDPA

    Hello everyone, I haven't shot handguns much in the last year or so due to price (and focusing on rifle), but I just got into reloading and I'm looking into doing some local IDPA matches. I went out to the range and shot 60 9mm (Didn't load any more since it was my first time loading 9mm and I...

    Seating Depth Variation

    So I'm new to reloading and I'm having an issue with my seating depth having a .005 variation. Is this a big deal? I'm using unfired lapua cases. I did not have this problem with once fired cases. It seemed like some of the cases took more pressure to seat, is this from variations in neck...

    Choosing a load

    Hey guys, So I just got reloading equipment a few days ago. I was able to load up 5 rounds of 8 different loads. I'm interested in exactly how I should choose which one's to do further testing on. I used 175 SMK (.308) with IMR 4064, lapua brass, and winchester primers. 2.8" COAL. All groups...

    Powder Cheat Sheet

    I've been looking into what powders I should experiment with first for my 20" .308. Some people have told me I should look into faster burning powders, but others have said not to worry about it. Are there any guidelines that can assist choosing powders? Like 175 SMK + 20" = go for x or y...

    F T/R Competition Question about stocks

    I am interested in getting into F T/R in the future, and I have noticed that there seems to be little variation in stocks. Can anyone tell me why? What would be the disadvantage in using an AICS stock or similar? Thanks.

    .308 200-300 yards (Bullet)

    I know that there are many things to consider regarding bullet selection when it comes to 1000 yard shooting out of a .308. I'm just curious if there's any special considerations to be made about shorter range shooting. I've typically just used 168/175 SMKs.

    Barrel contour for HS Precision stocks

    Anyone know what barrel contour the HS stocks on the 700P and 5R can accommodate? They are the pro-series 2000 right? Will an M24 contour fit?

    Anyone try to uniform factory ammo?

    I always try to uniform the tips on factory ammo. I have no idea if this helps accuracy... anyone else do it? Most of the time I use a knife point to make open the points equally and sometimes I file down the tips to make them symetrical.

    F T/R Competition Difference in barrel/bullets for short range vs mid range vs. long range?

    Alright so the local club matches consist of 20 shots @ 200 (1" X ring) and 20 shots @ 300 (1.5" X ring). I intend to shoot in this match every month. I would also like to work my way up to 600 yard matches in the future. Here is where I am unsure about equipment. I know that the 30" barrels...

    X-Mark Pro Inconsistencies

    So I adjusted my X-Mark Pro down to ~2.5 lbs yesterday and I found today that it had crept back up to around 4 lbs. I readjusted the trigger again and I'm going to see if there is any future inconsistency. I searched and found a few threads about this problem with the X-Mark Pros, but none of...

    Range Report: Buffalo Bore

    Just got back from the range. I shot almost a box of some Buffalo Bore 175gr. and 5 rounds of some Nosler Custom Competition 168s that I had. I did not like the Nosler or its performance, but I was very impressed by the buffalo bore for the price. Wish I could have done a little better on my...

    Has anyone not gained accuracy switching to a high end barrel?

    I was just curious if anyone has every lost accuracy after switching to a high end barrel from factory? I have a 700 5R that shoots great (Usually around 1/3 moa @100), but when I shoot the barrel out I'll probably get some work done, true the action, and put a nice barrel on it. I wonder if...

    Deciding on a reloading equipment

    Hello everyone. I am putting together a wish list for reloading equipment. I anticipate it being a few months before I will actually buy everything, but I would like some input on what I have put together so far. I could probably go $100-150 more on budget if needed. I have absolutely no...

    Advice on steel targets

    Alright so I'm wanting to buy a steel target for 300+ yard shooting. I want it to be 10" or bigger and AR500, but I have no idea what thickness I will need. I am shooting a .308 which I would think would be fine with a 3/8" plate, but my friend shoots a .338-378 weatherby (think .338 LM + a...

    The trigger pull

    Alright, so I just had a pretty successful range day today and I was wondering how everyone carries out the trigger pull. Before I got into shooting I would pull the trigger too hard, then I learned to squeeze more gently, but I still don't have a perfect mental image of what exactly a "trigger...

    Range Report New Gun

    First time to the range with my new Remington 5R SWFA 5-20x50. Got it sighted in and shot the first group.... couldn't believe how accurate it was. Every group I shot was sub MOA. I couldn't have been happier. I had several groups under. 25 MOA. .198 MOA .55 MOA .292 MOA Updated the...
