    Would I be missing anything by skipping the bolt and going straight to semi for LR?

    are any site sponsors running any deals on the FN SPR?

    I bought the A5M with the 24" barrel last summer. It already came bedded from the factory. My best groups at 100 yds are consistently in the .4" range. A couple of times I've shot groups in the .25" range... If I shot more often, I'm sure I'd do better. I think it was a great buy and I'm...

    Tab gear

    Friends, I will echo your sentiment regarding Tony/April and TAB Gear. Here is my story... About three weeks ago I emailed Tony an order for 2 magazine pouches, a sling, and a dope thing. I won't bore you with the details, but apparently my order did not go thru as expected because of technical...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    I really appreciate you guys having taken the time to read my post and think of reasons to explain my problem. Thanks for running this load through some of your better software, and coming up with ideas based on your experience. Like I said earlier, I'm relatively new to reloading, but enjoying...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    Thanks Artee. Yes, it seems to me too that this load is a little bit too hot. The real world trajectory (at least out to 500 yards) is pretty much on the spot, and the real world trajectory matches Strilok when I calculate the dope with a velocity of 2800. Because of this, I think the...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    Thanks Montana, I don't think it's the powder because I have been firing this load since this past summer and have gone through several cans of IMR 4064. I have had the same dope all along. I believe that if I had the wrong powder in the bottle this time, my dope would have changed. It was...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    Thanks D, No, I haven't bumped the shoulder and it's probably about time to do it. I have fired out of these cases 5 times. The length of the cases is 2.015" as it should be, according to the book.

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    Tx, The brass looks good. I have found no deformities or scratches, and the primers don't show signs of pressure. When I pass my finger on top of the primers, they are level with the bottom of the case, and don't feel or look swollen. For what it's worth, I also showed it to a couple of...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    Thanks Tx When I compare my dope out to 500 yards (only had access to 500 yard range) it matches the velocity for each distance. I used Strelok to run the dope. According to Strelok the velocity is 2800 fps which is about the average (2820) I got from the Chrony. I guess the sometimes sticky...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    DS I bought a Chrony Alpha.... And I'm shooting out of a suppressed 24" barrel. Could the suppressor be "adding" any velocity to the rounds? Today was my first day using it.... If this is a common load, and within limits, and yet I'm running at least 100 fops faster, I wonder if the problem...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    Friends, I have been reloading my .308 for a short amount of time. I'm not an experienced reloader. Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated. I have been reloading as follows: SMK 168 gr 43.7 gr of IMR 4064 CCI #200 OAL 2.780" Federal case According to my Lyman book, the minimum...

    Need advice regarding new 260 barrel

    Thanks for all your answers, leadbullet, Elite, skkeeter. It seems that I was making more of a big deal than this really was and good barrels are easier to get than I thought. I will follow your advice and look at Bartlein barrels. I have been told by more than one person that once I have the...

    Need advice regarding new 260 barrel

    Thanks Barney...I'll check those sites. Prices seem to be in the same neighborhood between all 3. Why do you prefer Bartlein? Kingzero... Thanks. Will be shooting paper with occasional tactical competitions (would like to compete so I can learn from others around me) from time to time...

    FN SPR A5M XP vs A3G

    That's 5 rounds from 100 yards with my FN SPR A5M.... I don't know about the other one, but the FN would be a great choice. Cheers!!

    Need advice regarding new 260 barrel

    Friends, I would appreciate any advice or any thoughts... I have a Rem 700 .308 on an AICS 1.5 chassis.... The barrel is about 12 years old, I have shot the heck out of it, and lately has started to shoot all over the place...(or so I told the wife while begging for a new barrel)! In...

    I have the Sandstorm model. It shoots about 1" low at 100 yards. I haven't noticed any difference in my groups with/without the can.

    Bell & Carlson vs McMillan

    I have the McMillan A5 and the AICS 1.5 stocks. I haven't tried the B&C. I love the McMillan; and if I buy a third rifle, I will add a McMillan stock to it. For some reason I can't get comfortable enough behind the AICS. Nothing wrong with it, at all. It just doesn't work as well as the...
