    Is Black Death coming to a town near you ?

    Sad, but so true. I just hope we can turn this disastrous course our Country has been on since Obama took the helm. Our best chance for survival is to vote the liberal bastards out in the upcoming election. Our system still works as long as we outnumber the uninformed masses!

    Insurance question.

    I went through NRA Insurance and $18,000 worth of coverage is about $180 per year. Cheaper than adding to my Homeowner's Policy.

    Why? Because I can and enjoy every minute I get to use it!

    155 or 185 for 308 to 1k

    I shoot Berger 185 VLDs out of 22" & 24" barrels with 1:10 twist over 43.9 gr. IMR 4064. Very pleased with performance to 1000 yards. COAL 2.86.

    DTA- Do you live in Michigan? Would you let me shoot it?!?

    I have two DTA SRS A1s and they are great and very accurate. Fit people with shorter arms and takes a while getting used to working the bolt so close to your face. Good luck!

    Copper

    I never clean the copper out of my barrels until accuracy fades-usually after 400-500 rounds, which few people will shoot over the lifetime of their hunting rifles. My son and I easily shoot over 1000 rounds a month over our four rifles.

    Rifle Scopes Help with glass for my LMT 308/6.5

    Kahles 6-24X should work perfectly with both barrels. I think you'll love it!

    Suppressors .338 lapua magnum suppressor

    I love my TBAC 338LM BA suppressor, which is very light for it's size and gives little POI shift.

    How old when you first broke 1000 yds?

    66 in the desert a few weeks ago. 1275 yards at 14" steel plate. Awesome experience. 1 mile will be my next milestone!

    DTA or Custom Build

    I have 2 DTA SRS A1s in 260, 308 and 338LM, as well as the new AIAXMC 260 & 308 and AI AT folder in 260 & 308. Both are phenomenal quality and have great triggers. I like the SRS length the best, but do feel the AI quality, mag capacity and 2 stage trigger is better. At their present price...

    98B

    However you slice it, 338LM is expensive to shoot and recoil and concussion from muzzle break makes for uncomfortable day without a suppressor! Too many other good SA calibers will accomplish about the same distant much more economically and enjoyably.

    Federal GM260M

    Sounds interesting, but my hand loads do fine out to 1300 yards and I'm sure my personal loads will be a lot cheaper!

    Another Newbie with "what gun to buy" questions

    I have 2 DTAs, which are great and compact, but recently bought the new AI AXMC 308 with 260 conversion and the new AI AT 308 with 260 conversion. Actually, like the AI AT the best for $2500 less, leaving more money for quality scope and ammo for practice. If you plan to do a lot of hunting...

    Rifle Scopes The more I think about it

    The more versatile​ of the 2 scopes would be the Steiner. Nough said!

    Parallax and cheek weld

    Good reason to practice a lot with a 22LR.

    Advanced Marksmanship Long range scopes...

    Perfect advice for what you're wanting to do. For 308 you'll need minimum 175 gr. SMK, or if you reload, 185 gr. Berger offerings. I use the Berger 185gr. VDLs for 1000 yards or more.

    Quick brass drying

    Agree with others. 400 degrees might weaken the cases and lead to issues. The sun usually quickly does the job for me in AZ, but a hair dryer or 20 minutes in the oven at 125 degrees works well at night!

    Which first bolt rifle?

    Can't go wrong with the Tikka T3 and I frequently see them for sale here on the Hide for decent prices. Good starter rig to ease you into LR shooting! Don't put yourself down. We all had to start somewhere, when we got the LR shooting bug. :cool:
