Re: 1500+ Yards with 20" or shorter barrel? Depending upon atmospheric conditions and altitude, it wouldn't be too difficult with a .308 (with 208 Amax). If you were dead set on .308 I wouldn't go shorter than 18.5". The real trick to shooting that distance with a .308 is a fast twist rate (1...

Re: Question: twist rate for .338 bullets I have been working on building a .338 Edge for quite a while. I have one reason for doing this; I wish to see how far away I can consistently hit a torso-sized target. I plan on using solids and I plan on shooting through the sound barrier. Given my...

Re: New to LR, need advice on a bolt gun If you are looking for strictly long range and not extreme long range, a .308 will fit the bill nicely for a beginner. Get one with a 10 twist barrel. This way, you can stabilize pretty much every .308 diameter bullet (minus a few custom bullets). I...

Re: Why don't you guys like Savage? Serious question. I shoot Savages and I love to make fun of them. I refer to mine as salvage because when I get to the range, my "salvage" tends to outshoot everything else at the range. Then I get to say that my el cheapo "salvage" shoots better than your...

Re: $500 max to spend what 308 bolt do you buy? Stevens 200. I say this without hesitation. Sub-MOA with every one I have shot, highly upgradeable (stock, barrel, trigger, and everything else are upgradeable), friendly to the home gunsmith, and, most importantly, friendly to the wallet. I can...

Re: Who makes the best 338 Lapua? That's really a tough question. I would give Savage a look though. They make some lower-priced Lapuas and I hear nothing but the best about their 110 BA. Savages are extremely accurate rifles out of the box. I am building a .338 Edge. If money is a big...

Re: any mountain bikers out there Wow! Liking the Santa Cruz! So you in to DH, Remsen? My buddy is hardcore into DH. He is running a Specialized Demo 8. That bike is a beast and is tough as nails. I watched a video of him the other day flat landing a 15 foot drop; the bike was perfectly fine...

Re: Caliber suggestions for a 700 LA magnum bolt face? A .338 Edge would be your best bet. I am working on one right now based off of a Savage action. The .338 Edge has ballistics slightly better than the .338 Lapua. There is a wide selection of high-BC bullets available too. Lehigh makes a...

Re: 2 mile shooting -3500 yards Great shot! You should push the bullet further and see what your limits really are! Just out of curiosity, what ballistics calculator are you using to get data beyond 3000 yards? I use JBM mostly and cannot get data beyond 3000 yards. I have yet to find a...

Re: Range in Tooele, Utah Tooele is close to some prime shooting. Just open Google Earth and find somewhere open that is close to where you live; it won't be difficult. Look specifically in the mountains above Tooele; your bullets will fly better there; that and I can see many good places to...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards I second what Hawk45 said, bohem. It is genuinely awesome that you have access to that panoply of equipment! I must say that I wish I had the mathematical capability that you and your friend have; you can really go far with math skills in the shooting world...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards bigwheeler, I had considered this cartridge at one point and found the ballistic improvement quite delectable, however it is not advantageous enough for me to spend the time necking down the .300 brass; that and the barrel life is enough to give a man a...

Re: 7mm Rem Mag beyond 2400 yards MontanaMarine, First of all, what does FWIW mean? I see it everywhere and I have no clue what it means, which is interesting considering most of you would consider me a young'un. Second of all, thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! Looks like the...
