New Build Finally Complete Well she's finally done! Started with a Savage 10 FCP McMillan in 308 (black stock in pics below). Never fired a shot and gave her to Tooter Meredith at Meredith Rifles in Athens, AL. He put on a Bartlein 30" whitley medium palma with a 1:10 twist and a target...

42.2 gr IMR 4064 with 175 SMK, Lapua brass trimmed to 2.006", CCI BR2 primers, 2.2135" to the OGIVE, in a Bartlein 30" with 1:10 RHT is giving me an average of 2711.

New Build Started Starting with a Savage 10 FCP McMillan 308. Factory barrel at this point. The scope is a Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50 ERT. Badger Ordnance 20 MOA base, and Badger Ordnance rings. Sinclair 3rd Gen F Class bipod. A Bartlein 30" stainless, 1:10 twist, Whitley medium palma...

Re: What is the correct target? Wow, thanks for the help guys. Sorry it tok me so long to reply. On the road for work. It sounds like I'm ok with the targets I have been making up to practice with at 200 yards. I've been using this: No x ring. 10 ring is 0.8" 9 ring is 1.6" 8 ring is...

This may be the wrong place to post this but I'm not sure where else to put it. What is the right NRA target for high power, prone, with a bi-pod and rear bag? Edit added because of brain cramp in OP. Ooops. I forgot to put the distance in my original post. I am talking about F-TR but the...

Re: Mirage from Barrel Heat I didn't think of dropping the power. The magnification was set at 25. I'll try the lower power this weekend and try the barrel shield too. Just another trick learned. They seem to be multiplying like rabbits.

Re: Mirage from Barrel Heat I picked one up already. I just never used t because I never actually experienced mirage frm barrel heat before and didn't see the need. Learn something new every time I go to the range. Lol

This is probably a pretty obvious thing but I wanted to ask if what I think I saw is really what I saw. I have been thinking about shooting in a 200 yard high power precision match this weekend so Sunday I went to the range to practice. I thought the match description (target sizes) seemed...

Re: What our country is creating Another couple of lifetime welfare recipients have been created. Useless!

It was a very cool day at the range today. A good friend of mine is retired Army and has talked about going out to shoot sometime so I dragged him along today. On the way there he tells me he hasn't even touched a weapon in 25 years. So we get there and I lay out 4 pistols of various calibers...

Re: North AL (Huntsville and surrounding areas) Huntsville here.

So, I've been doing a bit of reading ( a dangerous thing I grant you) and a couple of inconsistencies have popped up. In 308 for example it appears that faster twist rates provide greater stability across the board. 1:10 for example seems to show the best stability across the board from 155...

Re: My Mother-in-law found this in a closet.... Yeah, i bet my brother-in-law will leave it as is. What the hell, he isn't going to sell it. It will pass on to his son someday. Who knows, the original grips might be in the house somewhere. We know there are at least two more pistols...

Re: My Mother-in-law found this in a closet.... Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Re: My Mother-in-law found this in a closet.... I don't know much about these guns. How can you tell the grips aren't original? They appear to be bakelite if I had to guess.

Re: My Mother-in-law found this in a closet.... It is indeed US Army issue. It is going to my brother-in-law as soon as he can get over here to get it. The barrel is dirty as hell but is cleaning up nicely.. Just needs a little TLC.

Re: My Mother-in-law found this in a closet.... Sorry the pics aren't posting. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

Recently my father-in-law passed away. He was a "collector" (aka hoarder ) and had told stories about a 1911 his grandfather carried on D-Day that he supposedly still had. But we had never seen it and he wasn't the type to show off his stuff. Low and behold my mother-in-law is looking...
