thanks for the response. MAybe it is time to change powder and bullets.

So you have had some issues with consistency with the DTACs? This may explain some of my long range disappointment.

I was going to try a lower node. I have been trying to contact the folks at QuickLoad to see if their data is good for the 6SLR at coated DTACs. No response so far. Is it possible for you to check your QL to see if it will cover my caliber and components.

Another thing to try. Good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I might try some 107 and 110 SMKs that I have on hand. The 115 DTACS with the HbN coating give a nice ballistic advantage on "paper" anyway and a goad is to have a competitive round at 1000 to save my shoulder from my 284. Other thoughts are certainly welcome.

Perhaps some of you can help me with my issue. I get good accuracy at 100 - 300 yards shooting slow with the following load. - 115 DTAC HbN coated - Defiance action - single shot - Alliant RL 26 46.6 gr - Lapua brass - Federal primers - Bartlien 32" 1:7 twist Heavy Varmint profile - 3170 fps...

I have a friend who may have access to some land were we could set up steel targets out to 8-900 yards. There are cattle off to one side and a highway off the other side though some few hundred yards away. We can build an impact berm for missed shots. The concern that we have is what if the...

I have a question on brass. I have been shooting some long range steel this summer with two rifles set up for 260 Remington. I started with Remington brass and after only three and in some cases two firings the primer pockets are large enough that I can push a primer in with finger pressure in...

I am considering a Savage Long Range Precision in 243 Win with a 1/9.25 twist barrel. I like the Sierra 107 match king bullets. Is this twist rate okay for this bullet? I have a Savage in 6BR with a 1/8 and it is a dynamite gun. Thanks

Re: Savage F/TR stringing when hot has anyone heard of this if the barrel nut loosens up over time?

I have about 2,500 rounds in my stock Savage in 308. While shooting a match last weekend I was shooting some of my better scores. Then it went to hell. Shot a 98, 97, 98, and a 99. Then two 91s back to back. The problem was verticle stringing that did not begin until after about 8 rounds...

Re: F Class Classification question Thanks - the rolling average is a good way to put it.

When competing in F Class matches registered with the NRA, I think that it is 120 shots at a certain level to make a classification. If you have 20 shot relays and 60 shot matches, does the NRA look at the entire 60 shot aggregate or at the 20 shot individual matches that make up the aggregate...

Re: Bedding the stock on a Savage 12 F T/R??? Suggest that you shoot it first after breaking in the barrel. Mine two shoot just fine with not needing a bedding job. Get the Savage instructions on torquing the screws and see if this helps even more.

Re: What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R? I have been very happy with my Sightron SIII 8-32. Tracks well and for the money the glass is nice. I use the fine cross hair reticle.

Re: MOA and INCHES - moving from paper to steel New Bushnell 6500 Elite Tactical with mil dot reticle

I have been primarily a paper puncher for the past few years and once you get your elevation it is primarily a game of windage and fundamentals. Moving to steel out to 1,100 yards plus has put a new challenge into my shooting and I am having some problems. I know the velocity of my rounds and...

Re: Velocity change with temperature Thanks guys, some good information

I have recently installed the Strelok ballistics program on my Android phone. One of the questions asked in the set up is - "How many percent bullet speed will change at change temperature on 15 degrees" Are there some rules of thumb on this issue considering most shooting done in 40- 90...
