    Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar.

    Re: Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar. I have settled with the 6.5mm Creedmoor, ballistics on factory and certainly reloaded ammunition are excellent and on par with the rest of the 6mm to 6.5mm range but the design and powders used in it extend barrel life between 400 and 1100...

    Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar.

    Re: Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar. Excellent disscussion so far. For me, vs in general. I think i'm almost sold on 6.5mm (narrowing make down) Value isn't number 1, ballistics and range is. But value is certainly 2nd with the number of shots I usually take in an...

    308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan

    Re: 308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan I can agree with that, a rifle mag i have did a review on the savage 110BA .338lapua.. they busted 2 leupold scopes testing it...not that this thread is intended on that power but still.. Quality is worth paying for, certainly when it comes to 1500$+...

    308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan

    Re: 308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan Thanks for the suggestion and yeh I will certainly be shooting a variety of bullets, every barrel has it's favorite. I know not all parts are made the same, but what your reason for TPS base and rings and the Burris over the Nightforce?

    Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar.

    Re: Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar. You see my point..As you said I'm not worried about terminal ballistics.. This is a strictly out-of-the-box build, gunsmithing (what I can't do atleast), adds up-front cost and build-time. Also, although I know the advantages of...

    308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan

    Re: 308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan You gentlemen have sent me for a spin, again...I've done some research on f-class shooting and the wide range of 30cal in general is about as common as a gopher at a shooting range. I have posted in the reloading forum, and am back to JBM's BalCalc and...

    Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar.

    I am building a 1 or less MOA@100 recreational target rifle and had .308Win set in my sights... Until people started mentioning that other calibers, chiefly 6.5Creedmoor were becoming the target shooters choice... I have no personal preference to any rounds, other than .308Win, but I will most...

    308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan

    Re: 308 Remington700 Target Build-Plan handy isn't an issue, i'm not going to drop and setup if i see a gopher.. scout a good location, setup targets and shoot.. might aim for something else if it crosses my FOV..but OAL of the rifle isn't a huge issue
