I have a friend who is a retired Navy guy and is 73 years old. He is amazed with my precision rifle and the idea of long range shooting. Right now we have access to 200 yards at the local range but can travel to 1,000 and everything in between. My friend has a AR-15 that we put a new upper on...

I was wondering if the removal of my brake will require me to perform another OCW test. Being that it will change the length and harmonics, I'm gonna guess YES! Does anyone have experience with this?

Back in July I decided to finally order the last piece of the puzzle that is my custom Remington Model 7. I had a hell of a time deciding between Manners and McMillan. Both are top shelf when it comes to quality, but McMillan had mold in colors I like better while Manners leadtime was 3 months...

I keep seeing this brass available everywhere and was wondering if there were any pros or cons to using it over standard 308 win brass? I understand it uses small rifle primers which is a huge pro to me cause they can actually be found in BR versus the large rifle BR which is impossible to...

Has anyone used these two powders in the same caliber? Varget has been so hard to find I picked up 8 lbs. of Vihtavuori N150 when it came available a few months back. I still have a few lbs. of Varget but will eventually be using the N150. Are there any significant differences? I saw that J...

I have a new Shilen 308 win. barrel and am past break in. I did a ladder test and didn't really come to any real good conclusions. I've been reading a lot lately about the OCW tests and see that most of them increase in .3 grain increments, but myself being OCD have to use .2 so I land on 42...

I shoot 200 yds. every other week as this is all that is available to me until April '14. I have a match barrel 308 Win. with a 1 in 10 twist and have been using 175 MK's and shoot 1-1.5" groups regularly off a bipod and rear bag. Will 155 palma MK's do better at these distances? I have the...

Okay I've heard its NEVER a good idea to dryfire your rifle and that's what snap caps are for, and I've also heard it's no big deal and that you should do so in the dark practicing your trigger pull. Well which is it????? Does it matter or not if you have an aluminum firing pin? What is...

When I had my rifle rebarreled, my gunsmith asked what degree crown I wanted. After discussing that I would be using 175 MK he informed me I wanted 11 degrees. I told him I was also installing a JP brake and needed the tube threaded. My question is this: Does the brake affect accuracy other than...

I posted this under the riflescopes section and got no help, so I'm gonna try here! Okay, so I saw this sweet thread on how to align my reticle with just two cheap bubble levels and a plumb bob by elfster123. I rush out this morning and buy all the supplies and strip everything off my rifle...

Okay, so I saw this sweet thread on how to align my reticle with just two cheap bubble levels and a plumb bob by elfster123. I rush out this morning and buy all the supplies and strip everything off my rifle down to the base. I decide to check the level of the base first and find two different...

Anyone ever use these before? Someone has them listed on Ebay for $150. Only info I could find said the LSU polarizer is ONLY to be sold to law enforcement or military.

I have a Remington Model 7 in 308 win. I recently had it reworked. It now has a 23.5" Shilen SS tube in varmint contour with a JP Cooley brake, and a PTG 1 piece bolt assembly with Sako extractor. After all is said and done it shoots very well thus far holding groups at 1/2 moa. at 200 yds. My...

I have always used Federal Gold Medal Match or CCI BR2 primers for reloading my 308 Win. I have ran across a couple thousand CCI #200 large rifle primers and picked them up since it's been so hard finding the BR2's. Is there a big difference? Will my zero at 200 yds. change? I understand...
