    20" 5R and 168 Hybrids...... Anyone running this pill?

    I've been running my 260, & 65CM for the last several months and just about forgot about my .308 5R. I bought a NF NXS 3.5-15x56 NPR1 and NF base with NF rings (1.125") their too high, so I put em in Seekins, and am getting low on my 168SMK's and just got a cpl hundred of the Berger 168Hybrids...

    What? Not a new 30rd shooting contest in the Auto section? Crap, well here's my 1st.

    I checked in today before going to shoot some of my gas guns, but only looked in the bolt gun section, but I figured there was a new contest going on, and I've never had time before, so I grabbed my RRA/Custom rig and went to shooting, measuring, and taking pics, lol. Well I just got on and...

    Beanland 260. (Fastest barrel I've ever ran?)

    I've only put around 200rds through my 260 Rem with 24" Krieger MTU, and I'm running an M41 Severe Duty Brake. I posted a question on what my velocity should be a while back on the (exterior ballistics) section, and was told 2925fps. I started using this as my MV and I've shot groundhogs out to...

    Range Report Someone's input on velocity estimation. Is my barrel that fast, or is Strelok that bad off

    I had an estimate on my Beanland 260 shooting 139's @ around 2800 with 46g h4831sc, and I don't own a chrono, but just got finished shooting steel @ 517yds. Strelok said I should be at 9.5 min low at this distance with the 140 berger hybrids, and I was a ft high. After cranking down to 8.5 min...

    The nosler 26. @ shot how will it compare to the 6.5 saum from gap?

    I went to a local FFL in Tenn last Sunday, and a few of my buds work in the reloading/gun area and were in a whirl about this new 'Nosler 26 cartridge. He had the drawings of the OAL, and said they were getting 3450fps from a 129 Accubond. I asked if he hadn't saw the Xtreme Hunter from GAP, but...

    The 6.8 is still impressing me.

    I took my DD 6.8 a/10 specII to try to beat my furthest shot at 426yds, and after watching some young does watched a big bodied spike at 502yds and finally got comfortable enough to squeeze off a shot. I hit it with an factory SSA 85gr Barnes TSX in the top right tenderloin, watched it jump...

    New Beanland 260 doing good with H4831 sc

    I shot several groups with 45 g of h4831sc and 139 scrnars, but when I got my brake on it and tuned from 45-47g it settled on 45.1. It moved POI low and left, but if it keeps shooting like this I'll be ok. The one next is 8 shots @ 100yds, and the 1st is the load with Brake (M41) and 45.1g...

    260 shooters/Builders. What Freebore are you running? Any Beanland 260's?

    I've had my 260 Beanland for a few weeks now, and he used a .60" freebore. I just shot some 139 scenars, loaded to 2.820, and some to 2.850". I couldn't get the 123 Amax to shoot less than .8"s at 100yds but the 139's out of 7 targets shot an agg. of .452" with one a .216". I haven't really...

    Muzzle Brake ? (Precision Armament M41)

    I just went out to finish sighting in and a small break in on new barrel, and I installed the new Brake and after 1 shot the Brake will loosen almost a complete thread. I know I can loc-tite it but I am about to go through the process of getting a can. It's a 260 Beanland build, and MTU contour...

    Rifle Scopes New Seekins Buyer rings NOT A FAN. (Tube Pinch?)

    I have tried to get my new Seekins rings mounted for an hr or so now with a new NF. I can see a slight bit of daylight under the front ring, and if I put a bit of pressure on the optic, it sticks just a bit in the ring bottoms. I paid $120 simply because everyone said no more lapping etc. I...

    Rifle Scopes What NF or Seekins to run on NF 50mm/ 700 with MTU Krieger brrl.

    I want to know if the NF lows are ok on a 50mm NF NXS. I think I can get away with the low NF or Med Seekins, just by doing the penny trick. My stack with the bell just off the brrl is .295". Also any preference to the Seekins or NF over each other? Need to order now.

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss HD 5-25 Rapid Z Varmint, or Vortex PST or Weaver FFP Tac. (HELP)

    I was just offered a trade for my AR on here for an HD Zeiss HD 5-25 Rapid Z Var ret. I have my Beanland 260 that I'm gonna hunt, and shoot steel to 1K, and was wondering if the PST, would be a better option.

    What's your take on some T&E's to be submitted on the hide? (Chasis, Optics, Brakes,etc.)

    I was just thinking about doing some Test and Evaluations on some equipment, that a lot of people on here might be interested in. For 4 years I worked for a Magazine Co. doing T&E's, as well as writing articles on getting started in reloading, flyfishing equipment etc. I found it helped many...
