I took my Remington 700 SPS Varmint to Thunder Valley Precision today. Things started out very well. I'd never shot beyond 220 yard before but got first round hits at 200,300,400,500,600 and 700. But before long things got a little interesting. I started missing and my POI kept getting...
I'm getting ready to start loading my own .308 ammo. I think I've got everything I'm going to need and I'm wondering if there's anything I'm forgetting. Here's what I have. Bullets Brass Primers Powder single stage press dies for Decapping Bullet seating Full length sizing...
I see a lot of comments in this forum when speaking about very accurate rifles, (usually something like a GAP, AI, DTA Etc.) in which guys proclaim that the rifle makes them look better than they actually are. While I admire the humility, there is something about this statement which I find...
I'm getting ready to start reloading. At this point I've got everything I need but components and I think I've decided I want to run 155 class bullets out of the 26" 1-12 barrel of my SPS Varmint. I've been messing around with my ballistic calculator and it looks like 155 Lapua Scenars are...
My browsers are preventing me from accessing the forum because they say it contains malware. Evidently my phone doesn't care. Just wondering if the problem is on my end or one of the mods needs to get involved.
I just bought a batch of what was advertised as fully processed once fired brass. Most of it is either 00s Lake City or TAA. I measured the overall length of the cases and found them to be fairly uniform by type and year with a variance that is all within the minimum and maximum ranges I see...
I'm getting started in reloading for the first time. I ordered a Lee Challenger kit and bullet puller and I think the only other thing I need besides components are dies. I'm a little confused about dies so I'd appreciate it if someone could answer a few questions. 1. What's the best value...
I just got my KRG bolt lift and I really couldn't be happier. Installation took all of 2 minutes, most of which were figuring out which of the two sets of included washers best fit. The transformation in bolt feel is really night and day. I have somewhat above average size hands, not huge...
My cousin is trying to sell his Armalite AR50 locally and hasn't been having much luck. I imagine there'd be some demand for something like that here on the forum, and I was wondering if would violate forum rules for me to post the rifle for sale on his behalf. I haven't seen this issue...
I was going to title this post, "My first precision rifle," but that remains to be seen. It's a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .308 with a Vortex Viper HS 5-15 Mil/Mil zero stop midway special I bought here on the hide. It has been riding on my 10/22 until I could afford something more serious...
Stocky's has this bottom metal and claim it fits a standard BDL inlet stock. My question is whether or not this takes AICS mags and whether it's a solid system. Anyone know?
Guys are always asking questions like this in the bolt action threads but it seems like most of the stuff for reloading is pretty high end. I've read the reloading 101 sticky but it doesn't really answer the question I have. Specifically what tools does one NEED to begin reloading...
I'm in the market for my first precision rifle, and because of budget constraints I've been in the market for quite a while. Consequently I've considered lots and lots of options. What I'm interested in is long range target shooting. I don't have any interest in hunting. I'm a young man who...
I've been looking at George Gardner's success with the 6.5 RSAUM. I was wondering if you could run this cartridge in a large AR upper. Would you need special magazines. A little bit of googling led me to a AR10 Short magnum, but it has apparently been discontinued. So I was...
I currently have a base 10/22 I put into a tapco stock. I originally intended it to be a fairly close range plinking rifle but after hitting some targets at 200+ yards with it I was hooked on longer range shooting. I'm not particularly pleased with it's accuracy and have come to hate the...
Is it just me or is this among the worst slogans possible for a company that makes precision rifle anything? I'm sure SWFA makes great products but whenever I see the slogan I have visions of bullets flying wildly off target and someone remarking that nothing is coming close. This obviously...
There are obviously tons of options with .308, but 6.5 CM seems like a much better choice overall. It's even easier and often less expensive to find factory ammunition for at this point. As far as I can tell the only option available in the $1000 or under price point is the Savage 12 LRP...
