    F T/R Competition OK got some matches coming up...

    Do you have a velocity of that round out of your rifle? If so, are you still supersonic at 1000? Also, do you have enough elevation to make 1000 yards? These are things new long range shooters sometimes forget to check and end up frustrated on the line.

    F T/R Competition Another HUGE thanks to Jeff Rorer

    If it were registered as a Fullbore match, definitely a record. I don't think so in this case. If there was a Palma aggregate, it would have been a range record for Palma. However, no records this time I believe. I'm just happy I'm able to help other shooters in this game and I try to have fun...

    F T/R Competition Reamer for F T/R Class

    Re: Reamer for F T/R Class In general for .308Win, I add a half grain more, as you indicated, going from Lapua to Winchester brass.

    F T/R Competition 200 berger hybrid for F-TR

    Re: 200 berger hybrid for F-TR I used them in Raton at the Nationals and I was second by 5 points. Jim, the winner, was also using them. They are harder to get running well but well worth it if you can find the right combination. I had only one range session to choose a load before Nationals...

    F T/R Competition Beware Duplin rifles gunsmithing

    Re: Beware Duplin rifles gunsmithing Chris, Clint is a personal friend of mine. I'm disappointed in how you handled this disagreement. I'm not going to lower myself to throwing personal attacks. The problems I had earlier in the year had nothing to do with Clint's quality. I was trying to...

    F T/R Competition Beware Duplin rifles gunsmithing

    Re: Beware Duplin rifles gunsmithing There are two sides to this story. I've seen and shot Clint's work and it is great quality. Chris, I'm disappointed in this post and I've lost some respect for you. One factor you failed to mention is that Clint did this all for FREE.

    F T/R Competition Sinclair Fullbore Nationals

    Re: Sinclair Fullbore Nationals What XTR said is correct. The limit is for the sling shooters shooting NRA Fullbore. F-Class in Fullbore has identical equipment and is shot two-to-the-mound style. That is the only difference for Fullbore F-Class. At this match, only the last match each day is...

    F T/R Competition Powder for heavy bullets in 308 Win?

    Re: Powder for heavy bullets in 308 Win? N550 does have issues in my opinion. I can get good velocities out of it but I will never use it again in competition. It lacks the consistency I need with changing temperatures. I've used Varget, N150, and H4350 with good results with heavier...

    F T/R Competition 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR.

    Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. Maybe 25 fps between my 32.25 and the 34 (comparing 185BT). I'm actually thinking of cutting this one back to 32.25. It is just not needed and would make the barrel stiffer. My shortest barrel is 31".

    F T/R Competition 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR.

    Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I guess it is close to a heavy Palma. I also use an aluminum Kelbly action, an aluminum and hollowed out post, and my bipod weighs 1 pound 1 ounce (Duplin Rifles bipod).

    F T/R Competition 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR.

    Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I can't give away all of my secrets! However, Clint Cooper (Duplin Rifles) orders them just the way I like from Boots and he can get one for you too.

    F T/R Competition 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR.

    Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I actually toned it down a bit to that velocity. Barrel is an Obermeyer to my internal specifications at 33 15/16" (total length from threads to crown).

    F T/R Competition 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR.

    Re: 2012 Nationals what bullet stood out in FTR. I ran the 200 hybrids at 2704 (my chrono) or ~2730 (Darrell's chrono in Raton). I had almost no load development for that load. I did a quick look at a range of powder charges vs velocity/accuracy months ago and I shot exactly 10 rounds (5...

    F T/R Competition Duplin bipod?

    Re: Duplin bipod? From Clint at Duplin Rifles- "There will be no stud mounts. I straddled the fence on this issue as I know it would include a lot more of the market to have this type of mount But ultimately it is inferior I believe and am not interested it the problems that I think it will...

    F T/R Competition 185s HARD on Brass

    Re: 185s HARD on Brass I agree. I use RL 25 or N170 for my .30-.378Wby Mag and both gave acceptable results. Barrel is pencil thin and 26" so groups are not all that good as the barrel shifts as it warms really fast. But this thread is really about .308Win so my comments are ONLY with data...

    F T/R Competition 185s HARD on Brass

    Re: 185s HARD on Brass Only a 6 degree difference and you saw a 25 fps difference?! Wow. A little off topic here, but with a "heavy hybrid bullet" yesterday, I noticed that pointed vs unpointed there was an 11" difference in point of impact at 962 yards. I didn't see that with with the...

    F T/R Competition Reamer for F T/R Class

    Re: Reamer for F T/R Class He may. He made the reamer, but I didn't get involved in that transaction. I'll try to get the exact name of the reamer today.
