    Speed up your .308 Reloading Process

    Re: Speed up your .308 Reloading Process I normally reload all my calibers with Redding Big Boss II, Redding comp dies, and RCBS Charge master. I would however want to seriously speed up my 308 reloading process. My AR-10 simply loves to eat ammo.... Therefore I am looking into by a Hornady...

    As we all know temperature of gun powder in cartridge and air temperature plays a great role when determining the correct elevation for long range shot due change of velocity and due change air density. In my experience(using Lapua b408 bullet, FED 215 and Lapua brass in 338LM) N165= 0.9m/s to...

    6.5X47 Barrel Life??

    Re: 6.5X47 Barrel Life?? I do know some Finnish Benchrest shooters who claim that they have had to replace their 6.5X47Lapua barrel at 1500rds due lost of accuracy. However I have understood that these barrels would still have been perfectly good for sniping comps etc. At the same time I do...

    AR-10 barrel profile and the effect to accuracy..

    Hi. I am planning an ar-10 build up based on Armalite parts. I want the rifle to medium in weight, but still to stay accurate. Most AR-10:s built on accuracy purpose have felt relatively front heavy as I have tested them. However this was not the case with OA-10 SASS with PRI III gen tube and...

    Who makes the best 338 Lapua?

    Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? The original question is impossible to answer directly. Every user has an opinion depended of the rifle he has used. There are a lot of good rifles, but the only way I see possible to answer the question is to put them on the same ruthless field test. To the...

    British sniper breaks Rob Furlong's record

    Re: British sniper breaks Rob Furlong's record There seems to be a lot of propaganda stuff on this info but technically it is possible. Accuracy would however have to phenomenal. Hitting the PKM intentionally is definitely BS + seeing the where did the man get a hit. How this could be made...

    Moly

    Re: Moly Hi. I would like to hear ideas how to remove moly from my barrel. I bought a used TRG-22. The previous owner had shot 1500 rds with 155grs moly scenars. I have shot 200rds with it. The rifle was supposed to be accurate and trouble free, but it does actually tend to rise pressure in...

    Re: Tikka 260. Import? Sako 85 In order to find a Sako m75 you have to look for used one, unless you are incredably lucky to find one unused, since the production was stopped a few years ago. The tikka t3 has few disadvantages. 1. The back piece of the bolt is from plastic and tends to...
