    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    Next time I go out I will take pics and video with my camera. I dont have a desktop or a laptop just a kindle fire hd and I dont know how to do pics with it yet. I have been measuring from the absolute outside edge of the black marks and subtracting my diameter. I really didnt mean to step on...

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    I cant afford to go to matches and there is nothing that close to where I live. It took me two years to buy everything I am using on this gun. When I first started looking at setting up a target gun I looked at the very basic necessities that had a awesome or decent name behind them and saved up...

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    Since I posted this question I have come to realize how much s*** I've kicked up. I guess I thought at my shorter ranges those type of groups were normal with handloads. Im newer to the hide so I guess people have every right to question me. I shoot with a awesome group of guys here. Anywhere...

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    I will definitely try to get within 10 fps. Where I shoot the wind is usually at my 6 or at 12. Its on a powerline in between a valley of trees and I do have windage flags set every 200 yards apart in case of shift. Mirage wasnt bad since it was only 23 degrees out. But the problem could be it...

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    I have only sent approximately 900 rounds through this one so bore shouldnt be loose. Should I search for next node in .3 or .5 grain increments?

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    I do not simply throw out claims. If you dont want to take me seriously I could care less. I did not post this question to impress you or anyone else here. I posted because I have a legitimate question and I need help. I grew up with a rifle in hand and though I thoroughly understand that does...

    Is it just me or is my load just not right?

    So heres what I got. At 100 and 200 yards I'm shooting 1/8 MOA groups. At 300 I'm shooting I am shooting 1/4 to 1/3 MOA. At 500 yards I'm holding a 1/2 to 2/3 MOA groups. At 800 yards I open way up to 1 1/2 to 2 MOA sized groups. I know my twist ratio is not optimized for my bullet but they fly...

    Broughton or Hart or Schneider?

    Thanks guys. I had been leaning toward the broughton 5c for a while (a friend has one). You guys helped me put the nail in the coffin though. I have a remmy donor I want to play with and another .308 on the rack wouldn't hurt right? :)

    Broughton or Hart or Schneider?

    I've kinda narrowed it down to these three. Personal experience would help. Also anyone have any pricing on blueprinting, bedding and rebarreling? I have some quotes from a couple local smiths but id like to see what else is out there. Thanks!

    Which Remmy 700 model to chose.

    If you're switching stock and barrel right off the bat save yourself some hassle buy a rem 700 short action with a .223 bolt face (action only)have a smith blueprint it and have it bedded in the AI stock and of course choose your barrel. But if your just starting out don't get a new barrel...

    K31?

    A friend of mine has a K31 and during one of our shoots I was on the target team and he was up to shoot. After 5 shots he radioed to check the target. Walked out there he had a 13" group. Doesnt sound so great but considering the target was at 600 yards and he was using the stock iron sights I...

    velocity minimum for varying conditions

    Oh sorry yeah not gas gun! Its a Rem 700 with a 26" barrel also. Ill do a little more playin around with it and see if i cant get some more speed. I know my bullet weight is fine but hopefully I can get another node like the one I have accuracy wise just with some more pop. Thanks!

    velocity minimum for varying conditions

    Ill have to try to get up to another node. I stopped at this load cause I was only shooting up to 500 yds with my .308 and getting fantastic groups (.337 outside to outside 5 shots 200yds). But I want to start playing at 1000 with this gun and I was just curious what the industry was for...

    velocity minimum for varying conditions

    K so my current load for my .308 is kicking my 178gr. Amax out at 2512fps. Theoretically it has enough umph to make 1000yds in optimal conditions. With these conditions and my elevation speed of sound is 1116. At 1000 yards my velocity according to jbm is 1158 fps. What kind of velocity should...

    Ammo and phone numbers???

    Thanks for the replies. I have grown up small town where everybody knows everybody and its never been an issue buying ammo up here (no clue around detroit area). But if that is SOP Ill roll with it.

    Ammo and phone numbers???

    So I was at a local sporting goods store today and I overheard one of the ladies that works there say that she was called by the state police. She went on to say that the policeman asked her if she had been writing down the name and phone numbers of people purchasing ammo. Does anyone have...
