    Muzzle brake difference!

    A buddy of mine has the same gun as me. Remington 700 SPS .300 Win. Mag. The only difference between the two is mine is stainless. The recoil is very pronounced.

    Bipod or bag rest differences

I attached a bipod on a 24" full floating, heavy bull barreled AR and it shot "ok". folded the bipod and shot the gun off of a bag and the groups got tighter.

    Gunsmithing Bedding a Bell & Carlson A2 stock

    Do you have to? It has a full size aluminum bed in it, but I keep on reading about people bedding them. I've been reading up on the A2 model (I really like this one) and I've noticed that people are bedding them. Am I wrong thinking that it's not needed? Thanks, Joe

    Am I doing this wrong?

    I've been reloading 168 grain SMK bullets to shoot at paper targets at 100 yards. I thought that I was doing the right thing. I now find out that this bullet won't stabize untill 300 yards and that I should be reloading a flat based bullet for shooting at 100 yards. Is this true? Please advise...

    Subsonic .22 Ammo
