Has anyone tried Benchmark with 105-108 grain bullets in 6 ARC. I know it’s a little fast, but at this point I have to work with what I have. I’d appreciate anyone’s experience feedback with this combo. Rifle is an AR-15 with 21” Odin Works 1:7.5 bbl

I've been shooting F- TR for about a year now, and am really getting in to it. I usually shoot at Catawba Valley gun club , in Conover NC (300 yards), and have shot 2 1k matches at camp Butner & Camp Lejeune. All of these places are nice facilities that run good matches. However, I keep hearing...

Actually, it's been done since December, but life happened and I am just now getting around to posting pics. The rifle started life as a Remy SPS Varmint, and was bought with the intention of trying F-TR. Well, after shooting last year I decided I really like F-TR, so I went ahead with the...

I stumbled across this this afternoon, and got a good chuckle. Most tow truck companies I have had the displeasure of dealing with are on the verge of criminal . They are opportunistic bottom feeders, who deserve to have to crawl over every single impediment that can be placed between them and...

I'm in the market for a spotting scope, but don't want to spend the money for a Kowa. I shoot F-TR, and that's what it will mostly be used for. I don't usually use a spotting scope while shooting, but I think I'm going to start, since a big spotter does seem to show the mirage better. Obviously...

I have a new 28", 1:10", 6 groove Lilja bbl chambered in 308 win on my TR gun, and it behaves strangely... The rifle makes big velocity at charge weights that just shouldn't make those kind of numbers. Furthermore, it goes from no pressure signs to blowing primers VERY QUICKLY. These are...

Just curious what other's experiences have been with WS2. I just got 1oz of it, and am coating some old .308, 110gn V-Max to figure out the process. It's actually pretty easy to get good results. Any thoughts on fouling, accuracy, velocity etc? I know Molly fell out of favor, but don't know why...

So here's the deal, 2 weeks ago I ordered a Jewell trigger from Bruno's and when I checked my bank statement I saw they had charged me $25 for shipping. Well that kind of ticked me off, because I used to handle the shipping and receiving for a regional belting company and I pretty well know what...

I was hoping some more experienced long range shooters can chime in on this one: When shooting heavyweight 308's(200+gn) on a very calm day, do you feel that you are at a disadvantage to those shooting lighter bullets(155gn-185gn)? In other words, do the lighter bullets have an advantage in raw...

I just wanted to give props to NC's own Nik Taylor for bringing home the world championship in Raton, NM. He's a good guy, good shooter, and even better machinist! I'm very proud to know him. It takes a great deal of skill, perseverance, and dedication to beat the best shooters in the world, and...

I'm in the market for a bipod for my TR/tactical rig, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Atlas in TR. It seems like it would work pretty well, as it allows the rifle to recoil straight back without hopping. I know this can be done with a Harris, but despite what's espoused...

I was cruising German Salazar's "Rifleman's Journal" today and found this: The Rifleman's Journal: Search results for bolt lubrication Very interesting read about primers, ignition, government standards, and how the standards were created. There is also a bit in the end about the poor...

I've been using a Timney 510 on my TR rig (Remy 700 in MCM A5), but I am looking to make a switch. The Timney is a fine trigger, but it is not light enough for the intended purpose (won't adjust below 1.5lbs). This was really just a mistake I made when putting together the rifle. I couldn't...

I went to Lejeune to shoot in the Hathcock 308 challenge, and had a bit of a rough time. Don't get me wrong, I had fun and learned, but man did I ever stink the place up! I shot a 670-2X. I did fund the X ring 6 times in the team match, but Tom goodman deserves the credit for those since his...

I have been using these Shars .0005" dial indicators for about a month now, and they're a great product for the money! http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=330909337633 I bought off eBay from discount machine for less than $20 shipped. I have a .25" on a Forster cartridge/case...

I have a PTG Tactical bolt knob for my SA 700 I need to install, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could rent a jig to do it in a lathe or mill. My buddy's a machinist, but he said he has no way to follow the angle of the handle unless he makes a jig. Any ideas?

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this website and Mr. Boatright, but I just stumbled on to it this morning. This is a very informative, if not a bit technical, read. http://www.thewellguidedbullet.com/pdfs/TheWellGuidedBullet(PartI).pdf

I don't really know why I am obsessing over this, but I am! I just ordered a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LRMOA 2, and need to get rings. I have never bought high end rings before, but this is my F-TR rifle and I want to get it right the 1st time. The Rifle is a SA Remmy 700 (308), in a MCM A5, W/...

I've decided on a Sightron SIII 8-32x56, and these guys have it at a good price. However, they do not do refunds or exchamges, and there is no phone number to reach them. A little sketch.... Anybody familiar with them? I'm going to call Sightron to see if they're an authorized dealer. Long...

Anybody ever use one of these? Are they good? Bad? I can't find much info out there, but i believe they've been around for a while. I currently use a Harrell's Culver measure, but it still has problems with long grained, extruded powders.(Still a fantastic measure that I highly recommend) Quick...
