    Advanced Marksmanship Recoil management?

    Real silly academic question here. I’ve been shooting since I could basically walk. I have a core group of friends that I do some lr shooting with and this last weekend we all noticed that our rifles seem to recoil significantly more than what we see most of the time when we watch elr or lrp...

    Question about Howa mini action .223.

    I own 3 Howa rifles and love them. I am wanting to pick up their mini action chassis in .223 but the barrel only comes in 20” length. The twist is 1:8. What do you think practical range will be with that barrel?

    What are the early signs of barrel wear?

    I know, rookie question but I’ve never shot a rifle as much as I am the Howa and I’m wondering about other than the obvious groups opening up, what signs are there? I have a 26” factory barrel with 700 rounds through it on 6.5cm shooting 2850fps.

    1st rifle is a Rem 700 with 24” heavy barrel, all factory stock. 2nd is a Mossberg MVP also 24” barrel all stock. Both rifles have been returned and had some sort of repair done to repair this.

    338 wm over pressure?

    My sons BAR in .338 wm seems to showing signs of over pressure. It’s Hornady factory ammo. He got the gun used recently and it has never really fed or cycled very reliably. It’s hard to see in the pics but the primers are totally flattened and almost smeared out of the pocket. The stamping is...

    Help Id ammo.

    As part of a collection I had bought there are several hundred rounds that I’m struggling to Id. The bottom stamps seem military to me but unsure. Bullet size is .258, case has same size and shape as 308 but about 1/4” longer.

    Heavyweight shooting prone with bad back.

    Does anyone else suffer from this? I’m 6’3 @250lbs and 46 years old. I can shoot prone for about 15 minutes then my back cramps up and I can hardly stand up. My wife has been trying to get me into stretching exercises for years, maybe I should start doing them lol.

    Vintage 06’ bullets??

    I recently bought a collection from a widow who’s husband was an avid ww2 weapons collector. In the bunch I got literally 2 30 gallon tubs full of loaded 30-06 fmj ammo, most loaded on m1 garland clips and 03 stripper clips. Also in the bunch though I have a 5 gallon bucket full of .308”...

    Bolt on muzzle breaks?

    Can I have your opinions on bolt on muzzle breaks? I am not at a point where I can afford to have my barrel threaded and a break installed but the bolt ons are affordable enough where I can make it happen. Any thoughts?

    Resolve for Choate Bipod mount?

    Ok gents, I discovered a new problem on my Choate Varminter stock. My Harris bipod when attached to the bipod rail on the stock, doesn't actually contact the stock. It only tightens up against the rail. This allows the bipod to move, a lot! So I tried mounting up my Blackhawk canting bipod, same...

    2000 MR & 180 SST's?

    Anyone using this combo? I cannot find ANY load info for this combo. 308 win. I was thinking of starting at 46gr and working up. I'll have to experiment where my rifle likes the bullets seated but I guess that's part of the fun right? Thanks for any info!
