anyone else finding it to be a PITA finging any decent 22lr right now?

Ok after bringing one of my friends from the fire dept. to my range and letting him get some time behind my 260rem. and my cz452 he got the bug and wants me to start teaching him the basics of precision rifle shooting. I advised him to get a 22 to start with. 2 days later he bought a ruger...

what is everyone's process for ammo testing in 22's? groups at 25,50,100 chrono etc?

Well after a year or so of using an old jc higgins 22 for my trainer I decided it was time to upgrade to a better trainer. I was able to shoot 762's integral cz452 and it was insanely accurate and extremely well built yet i figured the 452 was out of my price range. while browsing my local gun...

When I 1st started shooting long range I built a precision AR15 in .223 and it has taught me a lot over the last few years. Now that I am getting a lot more active in shooting competitions and classes I have found the need for a more capable caliber and a bolt gun platform. Now I am a die hard...

Ok, I redid my ladder test for my precision AR rig in .223 I will be loading to mag length. my rifle has a NATO 5.56x45 chamber so it can handle higher pressures than a standard .223 barrel. It is a true 1:8 twist 24" Heavy Bull barrel, target crown My rifle is a 1/2 MOA rifle on a good day...

alright with my next match approaching fast: I am reloading my ammo, adjusting my load, getting gear, and practicing, to get ready. while going through the pics from my last match I remembered how unorganized and cluttered my gear was (all just thrown in a civilian backpack). So I think it is...

I have recently began load development of a long range precision round for my AR platform. I will be loading to mag length. my rifle has a NATO 5.56x45 chamber so it can handle higher pressures than a standard .223 barrel. It is a true 1:8 twist 24" Heavy Bull barrel, target crown I have...

I was sorting 1x fired PPU 5.56x45 brass with the 08 head stamp as i was sorting 70% of my brass has a small dent in the side ot the case! a lot are like a scratch but a few have dents deep enough to catch my fingernail! is this caused by the ejection from my semi auto? also are they still safe...

Seems a coonass Cajun fails to make a complete stop at a stop sign, andgets pulled over by a local policeman. Guy hands the cop his driver's license,insurance verification and vehicle registration, plus his concealed handgun permit. "Okay, Mr. Thibodeaux," the cop says, "I see you have a...

I am posting up the photos I took at this past weekends sniper match in Shreveport Louisiana. I was an RO for the match so Most of the pics are from when the RO's ran the stages but I do have a few pics of everyone else. I am planning on labeling each photo so if you see yourself post it and i...

At the range today I zeroed my rifle at 100yards. then proceeded to shoot at 1" dot tagets for extra practice. after running them trough OnTarget they range between 1.7 and 1.3 moa. As a novice shooter I am content with the shooting but would really like to improve. My platform is capable of...

This is a test dope card I threw together for my m885 plinking ammo to try out the design. It was inspired by suasponte's design. I was just wondering what you guys think of it and if you have any suggestions? I plan on designing a reverse side for it eventually as well, I will also laminate it...

Ok so I just got my long range AR built now i need to develop a few different loads for it. It has a 24" Stag Arms heavy bull barrel, with a 1 in 8 twist. I need to develop: 1. a long range load 800 yds to 1000 yds 2. a mid range load 500 to 800 yds. 3. and a short range hunting load for 0...

Well I finally got the base of my long range AR setup! the rifle is a bastard child with a rock river arms lower and a stag arms upper. this rifle has a 24" SS heavy BBL chambered in 5.56 NATO. it has a low profile gas block and a hogue free float hand guard. the Caldwell bipod is...

I have an idea to add a little bit of an incentive to the rimfire matches. What do you guys think of certificates for placing 1st-3rd in your match? I have done lots of computer graphics design so it would be easy to design a certificate. what do you all think? would you all like me to make...

I am fairly new to long range shooting, but not to marksmanship itself. However before I try to teach myself and pick up bad habits I would like to find an instructor / mentor locally who would take the time to critique my fundamentals and teach me the basics of long range precision shooting...
