Looking for just a basic 24x scope to do load testing with.. so 100-200yds from the bench. As long as I can get it to hit close to POA and it stays there, that's all I need.. Rifle is going to mainly have a thermal on it. $300 ish price range.. Prefer 30mm tube so I can use rings I already...

22", 1-10 twist and running a suppressor.. Wanting to try to bang steel out to 1000. So far I've been shooting mostly 110gr vmax at yotes out of the rifle. I had a few boxes of older (2016ish) 175gr FGMM that would shoot easy sub .5 MOA, but just ran out. The new FGMM I have the bullets have...

Wondering if it needed inletting to get the trigger hanger to fit...

I've got a Rem 700 .308 Win Remage that I built and it shoots well enough for me. However.. I want to upgrade the action on it as I also bought a .243 barrel that I want to use that action on... I'm pretty sure the thread pitch is 1 1/6" x 16 TPI, the receiver is standard Rem 700 S/A.. The...

Watching WAYYYY to many youtube videos.. Thinking I need a new firing pin spring for my .308 Rem 700, have no idea what the differences are. Tubb duo spring sounded good, but what's the reality? Just go with a stock spring? Advice appreciated. Thanks

I'm just a basic shooter.. want to test my coyote gun's drop at 500yds assuming I can find a place to test. Assume I have a quality scope and 1/2 MOA or better rifle & ammo. This sounds logical in my head, but checking to see if it works in practice. Instead of dragging out a 60+" target and...

Considering a new thermal in the semi budget category. No more than $3500 firm. From what I can tell the Iray, AGM, Bering all use Chinese sensors? I don't want to support China, so looking at the Pulsar Thermion 2 XQ50 Pro (I believe they use BAE sensors?). Any known issues with that model...

I'm working up a coyote round for a 243 using the Speer #1205 75gr varmint bullet. Published BC is .234. I saw on JBM that they had a BC calculator so used the near/far one to see how close the labradar derived BC was to the published. For 5 shots I looked at a few data points from each with...

Looking to get about 2200-2300 fps MV with a 150gr soft nose so I can use a 30-30 bullet and get the right expansion for deer. Reason being my father in law is bound and determined to use his 30-06 his dad gave him until he can't hunt any more... He's 83 and flinches like a SOB when he shoots...

Anyone load this, or anything similar? What velocity are you getting? I'm already 1.5gr over published max, but no pressure signs. These are running about 1650fps. Would like to get to 1700 if that's safe and if it's accurate. Seems the higher I go the better the groups are tightening up.

What's the best scope I can get for $400-$600 to put on a 450 Bushmaster bolt action? Ranges 0 to 250 yards..

I have a new Rem 700 SS receiver with about 50 rounds through it. It's a remage DIY build (McRee barrel, KRG Whiskey 3 chassis, Triggertech primary trigger). Took it out coyote hunting Saturday night, popped a coyote and it was a spinner, so racked another round in for a follow up shot and...

Anyone heard of such a thing, or tried it? I was thinking of taking a 3/8 socket and welding it on a bracket that I could screw on to the handle of my rock chucker. Then stick one of those beam type torque wrenches in the socket in line with the pull direction of the handle. So when you seat a...

Who's tried em both and wants to share?

Is there a rule of thumb for how thick the recoil lug should be for a certain caliber? Two I'm interested in are .223 & .308. Is .250" good for both or what?

I understand that you want the chamber to close on the go, and not close on the no-go.. but, wondering if there are intricacies in there to help possibly improve accuracy? What I'd like to know is.. will it help to have the bolt barely close on a go gauge so as to minimize case expansion? I...

Want to 'build' a 308 Win Rem 700 bolt action. Pretty sure I'm going with the MDT ESS chassis. But who makes a good pre-tuned action/barrrel combo for $1500 or under? I'd like 1/2 moa capable or better quality. It'll be used mainly for paper punching (probably 99% under 300yds), coyotes, and...

This just out.. Youtube firearms policy Wonder if they are going to enforce it and start chopping reloading channels/videos..

I got tired of having to open 10+ files to get the data when doing load development, so wrote this macro.. Puts Avg, SD, ES, etc from all folders onto one page. Edit: See post #4 below first, got the file to save as a zip file. Of course it won't let me upload an Excel spreadsheet.. so if you...

I know it's going to be rifle and ammo dependent, but what, on average, can you expect for a 223 POI shift between say 70 and 30 degrees (rifle and ammo at said temp)? For the sake of argument say the powder is Varget, 2900fps average, 55gr v-max. 100yds..
