    My new-to-me precision rifle....

    Re: My new-to-me precision rifle.... Agree with all the above. I personally like a shorter barrel. Less weight and better maneuverability.

    Whats your shooting distance?

    Re: Whats your shooting distance? I shoot the AR to 600 and the .243 to 800. Have over a 1000 yard range but I can't hit much beyond those lines anyway. On the .243 I have an 8-32 scope but keep the power at 10 and never move it. On the AR I have a 4-12 but keep the power on 4 unless I'm...

    May be interesting/worth trying?

    Re: May be interesting/worth trying? Sounds good but was this info out for the RL-15, too? What are the velocity differences in those same temps for RL-15? I'd be interested in seeing what they come up with for .243 win. Using 4064 now with very little velocity changes in a range of temps...

    Differences in Berger bullets?

    Re: Differences in Berger bullets? I asked Berger the same thing a few weeks back. Here is what they said: "The VLD ogive is what makes our bullet a good hunting bullet. Our target VLD bullet has a thicker jacket to with stand the abuse they are exposed to by the long range match...

    Ballistic software that simple and easy to use

    Re: Ballistic software that simple and easy to use I've been using Point Blank for both my .223 rem and .243 win. It helped me put together a drop chart I put in my wallet. It has been quite accurate for me and very easy to use.

    2 shots in exactly the same hole?

    Re: 2 shots in exactly the same hole? I generally put my targets with a cardboard backing. If you can't see the second or third shot in a group, check the back of the cardboard and you may see a difference and find your shot. BTW, good shooting.

    Starting .243 load

    Re: Starting .243 load I use the 95 Berger VLD for my 243. Currently I am running them on top of 35 gr. of IMR 4064. However, I did contact Berger about all powders used for 243 and the 95 VLD and they sent me a good listing of powders and charge weights. If you want it pm me and I will...

    Where to purchase bullets?

    I was looking at Midway USA and Midsouth Shooting Supply today and noticed I can save a fair amount when purchasing bullets from Midsouth. I want to purchase Berger 6mm 95 gr. VLD, Sierra .224 cal 69 gr match and Hornady .224 cal 68 gr match. Is there someplace else that I should look for my...

    .223 & .243 What powder?

    I'm sure this kind of thing comes up a lot so bear with me. Currently I am loading .243 win with 95 gr. Berger VLD on top of 34.5 gr. IMR 4064. I am getting great results but the IMR 4064 meters very poorly. I am loading .223 Rem with a 69 gr SMK on top of 25 gr. RL-15 and have fantastic...

    Ar15 in 6mm

    Re: Ar15 in 6mm Look like the 6art40 is the choice here. I have a 243 win that I am using for PRC and want to stick with 6mm bullets. Currently using a 95 gr. Berger VLD on top of 34.5 gr. IMR4064 but was thinking of giving Varget a try. Would that projectile and powder work for the 6art40?

    Ar15 in 6mm

    Has anyone built or fired a 6mm/.243 chambered Ar15? I am curious about it's comparison to the 6.5 Grendel. Seeing as how the 6.5 is doing so well, I wonder why I haven't seen more about a 6mm type as far as popularity. Yes, I am familiar with the 6mmAR and the improved version as well as 6mm...
