    Range Report very disappointing 300BO results

    So I've been itching to get out and test a some supersonic loads for my newly re-barreled AR. Finally had some decent weather and went out back today. I had put a new fore end on and removed/reinstalled my Burris XTR afterward. So, I re-zero'd my subsonic loads again at 50m - then tested my...

    6 rail free float tube?

    Had my gunsmith doing some work and am deciding on a trigger for my 300BO AR, and he was showing me his Jard trigger on his AR. While trying it out I noticed he had a SIX rail free float tube on his rifle. It had no distinguishing marks or identification who made it. He said a guy came in to...

    Thinking of shortening my Savage 300wsm barrel

    I have a Savage 300wsm with a trued 30inch Hart barrel. I have been seriously considering shortening this barrel for a while. I know a shorter barrel is inherently stiffer, and the I will lose some velocity. It shoots very well as it is, but could I potentially lose any accuracy by shortening...

    Australian Outback Ammo powder

    I read about this in the Nov 13 G&A issue and Boddington seemed clearly impressed. Several threads across the inter-web seem to hold the same impressions of their ammo. The propellant they use "BTI" (Ballistic Temperature Independence") claims to be relatively unaffected by temperature and is...

    Dillon 650 300 BO and 9mm conversion

    I apologize now if this has been covered...I did a couple searches and didnt find a topic to answer the questions. I currently have a Dillon 650 set up for 45acp. I have 300BO dies and 9mm dies on the way. My question is whether or not I need to buy each of the 9mm and 300BO (or 223 with...

    Rifle Scopes Cantilever mounts for 1-4 optics on AR

    I am going to put a Burris XTR on my AR (as soon as it gets here from SWFA), and I was wondering why I see most of them mounted back toward the BUIS and cheek weld farther back on the stock - NOT nose-to-charging-handle like I have been used to for years. The eye relief on this scope is really...

    300wsm OCW results

    Just got done this morning with testing a new load for my Savage 300wsm. This is my first time working up hand loads AND first time using the OCW method and would like some input. I shot this at 100m, off a table using bipod and rear bag. I shot seven 5 shot groups, started with 57gr RL17...

    Wife kicked my ass

    LOL zero'd my new 300wsm today, then let my wife shoot some. Gave her a little run-down of building a position, shot prep, making the shot and follow thru. Well, she did everything I told her and shot better than I did today at 100y. So, we put two big shoot-n-see's up, moved back to 400m...

    TRG42 mag problem

    My TRG42 338 mag doesnt want to let my bolt pick up the next round. The rounds in the mag want to tilt nose up JUST enough for my bolt to miss the back edge of the next round. So, for now I have to eject a spent case, reach in and push the next round's nose down a little for the bolt to pick...

I know Alex has them on sale currently, and I thought about not posting this actually, but this is a pretty limited time...

    First 400m group

    I was peasantly surprised this morning after zeroing my TRG42 from 100m to 400m. I dialed up and was 6in low. Made another adjustment and got it in the black shoot-n-see target. Once I saw the yellow dot in the black, I put an additional 3 downrange. When I got to the target I was pretty...
