I don't post much in this section but, I had an experience I feel like I need to put here. Ok, Robbert over at RWS had an SN-9 with an 80mm objective on consignment... clearly a 5500.00 scope... Rob had it for 3600 bucks looking like new so, I popped for it. So, even before I got this scope I...

Rob over at RWS had one on consignment till I purchased it yesterday. LOL 10-42x80mm Somebody said the 80mm objective can get in the way with elevation, I think. I suppose I'll have to get a special base with probably no cant in it so leave enough room to twist up the elevation.

I figured I'd shoot some groups at 100 to figure out what the rifle liked before taking it to the long range. I shot at 131gr of retumbo.. then 132 and 133... the 134 and every group I shot including the cold bore one all went through the same hole. I have a lot of work to do but, I was...

Well, I loaded up a few rounds and took it out today even though it was miserable and raining. I mostly just wanted to get a few rounds down the barrel and check load pressures. I only shot a few but, I started with 130gr of retumbo under some of the 330gr boreriders and went to 133gr...

The calculated BC is .941 but, I have my doubts about that. We all know that calculated vs. actual are usually very different and, in light of the testing thread, most are very inaccurate. So, I've taken my time with getting everything ready for shooting the new 375CT build I've got and, I...

I'm getting everything together at the moment... found a neck turner found the dies found a starting load found the bullets found the brass trimmer I don't have the cartridge specs, however. What is the trim to length for this beast?

Probably a stupid question but, I don't think any of my current equipment will do it and, I'm about to need one. Also, how about neck turning? I've been reloading 300wm for a while and have everything for that and know the whole deal on that... looking forward to working up some ELR loads for...

I'm hoping to find some starting load information... ( there isn't much out there and, not too many posts here ) Let's say I'm going to begin loading the Lehigh 330gr solids, possibly the 350gr match kings and/or the 355gr GS solid ( I think it's 355, maybe it's 350 too ) Anyway, I'm...

Should have put this chassis on my rifle years ago.... wow. There's no doubt that before I put this chassis on, my bedding what shot out..... wow what a difference in accuracy this chassis has provided this rifle. The rifle is in tip top shape... it's a supermatch.... I was just crushing 4"...

I've got a great old rifle I used to shoot the match course with a long time ago and, I'm wanting up update it with new furniture, a bipod and scope. Nobody uses .30 caliber rifles for the match course anymore and, even if I did start shooting service rifle again, I'd have a purpose built AR...

Not sure how much this has been discussed but, I'm about to put another barrel on my rifle and, I saw that Kreiger is offering a 5R barrel that would go on my 300wm. I'd be interested in hearing all of your thoughts on 5R barrels. I guess there are some that say that they are cleaner and you...

I'm upping my reloading routine to do way more brass prep than I used to do and, I've ordered a chamber lengh gauge to use along with a digital headspace gauge and a belted magnum collet die. The question I have here is how much clearance from the case mouth to the end of the chamber do you...

I've been loading H1000 in my 300wm with pretty good results but, I'm about to work up a new load and, I was thinking of retumbo. Are you guys getting better velocities out of retumbo? I'm about to work up a 208gr amax load but, I've been launching 220gr smks about 2800fps with no issues...

What burnrate is best to get the best overall velocity out of this bullet? We're going to try to squeeze the max range out of this bullet and need everything we can get. We may go to 190gr bullets but, we're limited to a magazine size so, we're kind of working with case capacity vs. bullet...

Anybody try these or have any ballistic data on them? Hell, if the 208gr A-max has .648 then what do these bad boys have???? http://www.hornady.com/store/30-Cal-.308-225-GR-BTHP-Match/

Don't know if anyone has been activly looking ( grin ) or if this has been posted yet BUT..... I've been after Hornady over the last couple of months about availability of the 208gr amax and, after being told last month that they should be available "soon" and calling a couple of days ago, I've...

I'm probably going to print more groups but, I have a good load that I worked up with new brass and, now it's once fired. I do FL size the bodies and I do the necks seperately. Now, I did size the necks on the new brass.... Do you guys think that as I print a new set of groups with the same...

Anybody going to the open shoot? I was thinking of going out to Tac Pro but, I'd much rather shoot with pit service. Anyone else planning on going?

Well, I shot out at Tac Pro today in Texas. You have to qualify to shoot the 1000yd range.... It was funny. I wasn't a member till today so, I signed up and qualified today. they don't have pit service but, they have a good berm and you can set out steel etc. Nice range and GREAT people from...

Ok, I have a new rifle, ( not new but, new to me ), used NF kick ass scope and, I have a range report. I'm an experienced shooter when I was a jr. shooter.... I shot the national match course and, I actually made the president's 100 in 1984 ( when I was 18yrs old ).... well I discovered women...
