Damn that sucks thought it would hold up better than that

Will 5mm (0.197 inches) AR 400 steel be ok from distances of 600m and out for 6.5x47L shooting 140 RDF, JBM tells me at 600 it will be travelling at 1903 fps with 1124 ft lbs of energy?

Thanks guys I had kinda forgotten/disregarded Lithgow arms. Going to get a LA101 in laminate stock just like the one on the video posted. one question I already have an atlas bipod on my centerfire. I think the LA101 comes with one swivel stud on the front. Does anyone make a rail for use with...

Thanks for all the feedback guys lots to think about. Seems begara is more popular here. I can get a barreled action for the begara however I’m not much of a tinkerer or gun smith not sure if I would be able to install a trigger myself? Is this a difficult job to do safely the sako quad range...

Gday need some help from the rimfire experts, looking for a quality 22lr to be shooting from prone 99% of the time. Will be used for recreational shooting at targets on the farm as well as pests. Looking at the begara 14r and the Sako quad synthetic heavy barrel. Both of these rifles are the...

So I completely agree with franks views on the free recoiling bs. Since when is free recoiling considered a technique in "practical" shooting. Even in f class it is a joke the original intent of f class was for older shooters to be able to shoot with a...

So I have the opportunity to shoot in a location that could offer unlimited distance. Here's the catch It is only accessible by boat up a salt water river the boat I have to use is a 12ft aluminium boat. I would have to put my expensive rifle and...

Running a 6.5 139 scenar at 2750 has 9.1 inches of wind drift at 1000m in a 1mph crosswind. Shooting an 18 inch plate and aiming for a centre punch hit if your wind call is more than 1mph out that's a miss!!! Are you guys shooting 6.5 calling the...

OP all I can say is wholy shit, thanks for sharing that is scary man. In regards to bullet going into the lands causing a catastrophic failure like this would be unlikely unless you were way way over pressure already. I get only a slight velocity increase from bullets jammed hard into the...

I was shooting in somewhat similar sounding conditions on the weekend at 1000. Mine was due to rain/storm squalls coming and going. The rain squalls would whip the winds up all over the place and from different directions. Like you I use the pink flagging tape at target, mid way to target and...

I shoot in heavy mirage conditions all the time, for me it consistently pushes the bullet low. At 700 I have to come up anywhere from .2-.4 mil up from my clear conditions dope. Might be same for you?

6.5x47L 26 inch maddco barrel, wild dog stock, atlas bipod Padom yup I'm very aware of the majority of peoples findings with these bullets on this and other forums. There are a few though who have had great results, and yep I did no work up with them at all just the berger seating depth test...

Nothing like a snipers hide shit fight!!!! Id like to add my 2 cents from someone who went the other way. I'm in Australia grew up with metric so cm, metres, mils naturally makes more sense to me my ranges are in metres. I used a swfa mil mil and it worked fine no issues. Next scope I bought...

Yep believe it or not they group better than both 123 and 139 scenars and berger 130 vld outta my rifle. No fliers or fussy seating depth issues that others have found either. I did a rough berger seating depth test with them as I didn't want to do a full load development just used the same...

The scenars are great bullets very accurate have taken them to 1000metres (1080 yards I think) no where near as wind cheating as the 140 RDF though.

All I use in my 47L is RL 16 found it better than varget and H4350 for velocity and SD/ES. My rifle has a long freebore and is single loaded was easily able to push 139 scenars into mid 2850's cant remember charge off top of head no pressure. Settled with 39g for a nice accuracy load at 2700...

Going to throw a cat amongst the pidgeon's OP have you tried the nosler 140 RDF. I'm well aware of the hate of them on this site but I'm glad I tried them myself. Best bullet I have shot through my 47L including berger and scenars. I didn't even do a load development with them just dropped...

Hey mate as others have said sightron sIII is the go to for f class for the majority they offer excellent clarity. Many national and probably world level events have been won with the sightron sIII. The 10-50 model is most used but as a compromise for f class and a bit of elr I would go with...

Awsome stuff, pretty light load too!!!!

That's epic man can you provide rifle and load data please? I'm slowly working my 47l out to ELR ranges.
