    accuracy with no bottom metal

    Re: accuracy with no bottom metal Just think, it might shoot great without the mag cover, and shoot like crap with it.

    What causes horizontal groups?

    Re: What causes horizontal groups? I'm shooting off the bench with no heart beat to time. The stock is bedded and screws are tight. I ordered a new stock B+C, I'm pretty sure this will limit some whip. The Remington stock doesn't have pillars and even after bedding is flexable. Maybe this is...

    What causes horizontal groups?

    Re: What causes horizontal groups? So I tried another test, I tried one of those rubber vibration dampeners on the barrel. Was curious if barrel, stock, or me was the weak link so I tried the dampener to find out how much whip there is in a 700 sps barrel. Here's what happened, I can't tell...

    What causes horizontal groups?

    Re: What causes horizontal groups? Working with the OAL of the cartridge didn't affect group shape. I didn't mention before that the rifle has a jewel trigger set at 1 1/4 lbs, and the factory stock is bedded with the forearm filled with bedding compound and the channel opened up to free...

    Range Report Super-stabilizing to avoid transonic upset?

    Re: Super-stabilizing to avoid transonic upset? If somebody figured out how to defeat transonic upset they must be keeping it a secret. All the best small bore ammo (22 rimfire) is subsonic and those guys would love a few more fps.

    What causes horizontal groups?

    I have a Remington 700 sps in 308 and it tends to group horizontal. I know the wind will do it but what about something static. Can the cheap factory stock flex horizontal? You change loads with different velocity and you get groups 7/8" wide and 1/4" vertical. Do you think barrel material could...

    Mauser Action Build

    Re: Mauser Action Build I built a 338 win mag out of a vz 24. The magazine length had to be stretched and the bolt face had to be turned. IMHO the 90 degree bolt lock is the deal braker for me to use a large ring mauser for competition. It's slower and the bolt handle has to be just right for...

    Loads for .308 with .22 sabots

    Re: Loads for .308 with .22 sabots I worked up a load with 62g fmj bullets in the gray plastic sabots and 308 Winchester cartridge. First let me say, don't waste your time. The faster you push them the larger your group gets (I could say pattern). I started with 41g H322 and got 3150fps then...

    accuracy over velocity??

    Re: accuracy over velocity?? My M1 Garand would not shoot well over 2450 fps with 168 smk's. My 03 shoots great at 2700 fps with 168 smk's. I would choose accuracy every time. Know the part that is going to drive someone nuts. In my book 168 grain match bullets are good for 900 yds. The 175...

    why does the 308 always trump the 30-06

    Re: why does the 308 always trump the 30-06 The 30-06 has shot down more aircraft than the 308 (in WW2). Last weekend I shot a 80 year old 30-06 round (yes it went bang), 308 can't do that. So the 308 doesn't always trump the 30-06. If there was a 1200 yard competition I'd bet the 30-06...
