I had the chance to stop by Accurate Ordnance yesterday. (Nice guys by the way) They have at least 6 or 7 rifles already built ready to go. You'll have to call for caliber info. In speaking with the guys they are only 8 - 10 weeks out on builds that the customer has all the correct parts...

I had the good fortune to help Robert at the request of one of his good friends work up a load & shoot his new rifle. It's a job that someone has to do :-). The rifle is chambered in .260 Remington. Optics are S&B 12-50x56 FFP. I have never fired a .260 Rem. before so this was going to be...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the Garand to 1000 yards. I had the come ups from many years ago with a different Garand so I thought I would start there. The "old" come ups was 44 clicks from a 100 yard zero. The Garand that I shot yesterday had a 200 yard zero so I put 40 clicks in...

So, last June I asked Mr. Gradous order a 6.5 twist .22 cal. Kreiger barrel. My build date would be whenever the barrel came in. So 3 weeks ago the barrel comes in & Robert said we could build the rifle. My goal was to have him build a Tubb T2000t in .223. Robert said he had never built a Tubb...

Finally made it to the range yesterday with RL33 & the 6-284. I chambered a dummy round then put a cleaning rod down the barrel to measure the usable barrel length. I added 1/2 " to this measurement for a total of 26.5". I used Rem. 9 1/2 Magnum primers for all loads. 105 Berger Hybrids...

I already have a good load with IMR 4895 & 175 SMK for my Garand. I have used the search function & not found exactly what I am looking for. I have had a McCann gas plug on the shelf for years & I am now thinking of trying it. I have a good supply of 208 AMAX's & several "flavors" of the slower...

For whatever it is worth I just spoke to Berger & they said that the bullets are being run right now & should be in stores 1 - 2 weeks. We'll see. Semper Fi

I had the opportunity to fire a 20 shot group at a 1,000 yard range earlier this week. I used a Tubb SpecTaclr in 6xc (with suppressor)shooting from a bipod with rear sand bag off a concrete shooting bench. There were no wind flags to confuse me so I put 20 rounds down range pretty quick, maybe...

While Bench Rest shooting is not the main topic here I wanted to pass on the story of my newest rifle. It started as a 7 WSM Heavy Bench gun 1.450 straight barrel. Green & Black McMillan MBR Tooley stock. The stock was ordered about 6 years ago with lead shot molded in. While the 7 WSM shot...

I got this 40X from Don in SC a couple of months ago. I had Robert Gradous of Gradous Rifles bed it, install a Jewell trigger & bore the I.D. of the tuner to fit the Hvy bbl. These targets were my best effort on this day of shooting the 40X off a Rempel bipod, NF 12-42 BR with old Federal UM1 ammo.

Like most I wanted an accurate load but with good velocity. In the past I was able to get 7 WSM to shoot quite well. Then the phase hit where I was having trouble finding a load that would give me both accuracy & velocity. None of the usual powders were giving me the results I was looking for...

Yesterday was the first trip to the range with my new rifle. With the help of "Don in SC" I was able to get it on paper. I only had 18 factory rounds with me, however I was able to get everything accomplished that I wanted to. It is a very well mannered 338. Recoil was a lot less than I...

Does anybody happen to know the dip switch settings for the 24" spacing? The 48" settings are the #3 & #7 "on" but I need the 24" settings. Thank you Semper Fi

Now that I have a little time on my hands I spent some quality time setting up the Prometheus II. Everything went off without a hitch. I started off with 54.6 grs. H4831SC for a .284 Winchester with CCI BR2 primers and 180 gr. Bergers. Seating lengths vary by .010 to see if I can find the sweet...

I was able to shoot in a 1,000 yard match at Graben Farms, Ga on Saturday. As one gets older not too much really gets us excited anymore. While the group was not shot in the match I did shoot it while sighting in. Conditions were perfect. It was shot with a Tubb SpecTacLR, 25.5" 1:7.5 twist...

Having a little brain fade. Does anyone have the formula handy to convert Instrumental velocity to muzzle velocity? Oehler's program has it but with a fairly new computer & I can't find the disc. Seems to me that it was something like 25 fps for the chrono being 15ft. from the actual muzzle...

I have had a Newcon LRB 3000 PRO laser range finder for awhile. It has worked very well for me. Previous to Sat. the farthest that I had ranged anything was 1899 yards. While shooting on a powerline with some other "Hiders", they were down checking/pasting/repairing targets & way off in the...

What do you think better than average group sizes should be for a 22lr at 100, 200 & 300 yards? I'm thinking 10 shot groups. Not once in a life time groups but, just plain old good groups.

I have a GAP built Rem SA 7 WSM in an AICS stock w/USO optics. It originally had a had a American Precision Arms Little Bastard brake on it. After having open heart surgery I figured less recoil would be a good thing. I spoke with Jered Joplin, owner of American Precision Arms about wanting a...
