A while ago, I was offered some free firewood if I came and got it. Being that it was about a half mile from my house… and I like free stuff…I went and got it. While I was there, the guy also had a bunch of treated lumber from a deck that he removed. I also took that. I wasn’t sure what I’d...

I've been told that any angle shots, up or down, less than 15% should be considered flat, as far as POA/POI goes. And according to my MIL dot master, there's no calculations for anything under 15% which would support this theory. I guess I didn't realize just how much of an angle 15%...

I want to place an order (around 1-2k) for some bullets for my AR's and am wondering what weight to get. This is what I have: 16" 1/7 lightweight barrel, carbine, with Red dot, in 5.56 for general plinking/self defense/SHTF, 100 yards or less. 16" 1/8 H-barrel, mid length, with a 4X scope...

I'm looking for a power chamfer/deburring set for my .308 cases. I'm looking at the hornady L-N-L case prep trio. I can get it new for 80 bucks. Should I get it, or is there something else that I'd really like better. And what would I put in the third tool head... A brush?

I've been reloading for a few years now, and have been getting about .5-.6 MOA with my R700, SPS, XLR, using 165g A-Max and 44.0g of Varget. I have a Dillon XL650 but use it for 5.56, and pistol calibers only. I use my single stage press for precision rifle. It's been going great but I thought...

How do you guys do it? What I've been doing is getting the reticle on target, then as I breathe... I move the reticle to as close as I can to target, but just off it, and as I exhale, it slowly moves on top of the target and right as it does, I press the trigger. Is this the best way or can...

Love the new title of this sub section by the way... Maybe I never noticed it before, but I think it may have changed... Anywho... With the winter months fast approaching, I usually hibernate into my recliner and don't venture out into the cold Wisconsin temperatures, but I thought this...

I'm planning a 10/22 build and want a precision barrel for it. I don't know much about what's out there and actually don't even have the 10/22 yet. I'll be swapping the stock out to something nice also, but I want to get the barrel first. I'm hoping to stay around 300 for the barrel if...

Since I’ve been doing more gunsmithing, I’ve been looking for a good gun vise for a while now. I tried a couple of friends like the Caldwell and Tipton Best, but wanted something more solid. Then last year I ended up making my own and was pretty happy with it. It’s very solid but it’s a...

I think I have a goofy problem that I’d like some advice on… since I've been load testing, I’ve been shooting one round at a time, single feeding them, with an empty magazine. I pull one cartridge from the box, set it in the open chamber, close the bolt, aim and fire, then open the bolt, store...

Am I stupid... Don't answer that... I can't find the thread that talks about all the good loads people have found for .308. I ran into some 168gr Hornady A-Max bullets. I'll be using Varget. Are you guys getting good groupings with the A-Max bullets? I'll be shooting them under 300...

I'm wanting to replace my factory trigger on my Remington 700. This is on a Remington SPS Tactical in .308 with an XLR Carbon Chassis, and a Vortex 6-24X50 FFP. I'll be shooting off a bench mostly with some prone, around 300 to 600 yards, using reloads, at paper targets. Looking for 2 pounds...

I'm not too entirely happy with my rifle. First off let me say that I'm new to the whole precision shooting thing. I've been shooting for over 25 years, but mostly pistol and shotgun. I recently decided to try precision shooting, so I did what I hear a lot of people do, and went out and...

I'm thinking about doing a paint job on my bolt action. Not so much for hunting but just because I have too many all black rifles. I'd like to either just go with an FDE color or possibly some sort of camo pattern. I just want to do the chassis though, not the barrel, action, bolt, bipod...

I'm still fairly new to the world of precision shooting but am learning... I've been reloading for a few years, mostly handgun and .223 but have also loaded a few hundred .308. I knew about annealing but didn't really know if I needed to do it. With my background in metalworking, I...

Maybe a week or so ago someone brought up some basic marksman ship skill and then someone else posted in that thread a link to another post on here with a whole bunch of links to all kinds of different basic skills. Aybody know what im talking about? I think it looked kind of like this...

I'd like to know how my rifle is shooting, but I'm shooting at odd distances right now. My smallest group was a 5 shot group at 1.142 inches (outside to outside, but calipers zerod on bullet) And shooting at 182 yards. My average group was 1.353 (6 groups) How do I figure out if I'm...

Im setting up a long range shooting lane on my property. I live at the top of a large hill and will be shooting into the hill from the bottom of it. Not toward my house, kind of across the property at the bottom. Right now, I have a very nice 100 yard plus range, at the bottom of the hill...

I just got my first data book (Impact) and while I'm pretty confident I know how to enter in the data, one thing confuses me. Before I got this book, when I would shoot for precision, (or at least that's what I call it) I've always printed out twelve, 1" black circles on a standard 8-1/2" by...

I'm just getting into precision rifle shooting and was wondering if someone might be able to help me see something. What I'd love to do is to be able to look through the scope of someone else that shoots pretty darn good at distance. Now I think that might be possible with a scope cam. What...
