    XM118LR questions

    I have acquired about 1000 rounds of XM118LR that I am using for the start of an F class 1000 yard rifle. This is marked as lot XM118PD, which my research suggests was released in the civilian market because it didn't meet military QC. Before bedding my rifle, I can safely say that I was able to...

    Advice on 223 Remington load with short seated Sierra 80 gr MatchKing?

    Thank you. I have been trying 24.4 of Varget with the 80 loaded to 2.550 with a velocity of just over 2800, fired at 49' ASL. After I found out from White Oak that I needed to shorten my C.O.L. to 2.465, I was on the phone to Sierra, where they suggested my experimentation a grain below what I...

    Advice on 223 Remington load with short seated Sierra 80 gr MatchKing?

    Good morning. I just discovered yesterday that with my long range AR in 223 with a Wylde chamber, I need to seat my bullets to a C.O.L. of 2.465 to avoid engraving of the bullet and allow the bolt to go into full battery. Being disabled, I am now competing in mid range and long range F class...

    Digital powder dispenser recommendations?

    Hello. I have been reloading since about 1980 using a single stage press and balance beam scale. In 2006 I upgraded to a Lyman 1200 DPS dispenser. Sadly, due to an unexpected accident, I didn't get to start using it until 2012 when it was well out of warranty. I am finding that the base of...

    White Oak Armament AR barrels

    Hello. I realize my reply is a bit late and comparable to comparing apples to oranges. In my quest to build a handicapped friendly long range AR, I opted to acquire a WOA 26" Match Upper for a Bushmaster lower I had on hand. This upper has a 1:8" Douglas 26" barrel. I use 77 gr SMKs for 600...

    Rifle Scopes remington lange range hunter

    Sorry for the confusion about the post. I became aware of the Sendero well before my accident and resultant concussion. Through the fog of the concussion, I remember the Sendero being offered with a walnut stock like the classic Remington 700 BDL rifles. Since the accident, I have seen Remington...

    Rifle Scopes remington lange range hunter

    Hi. The Remington 700 Long Range is the economy version of the sendero. It sells for almost half the price of the sendero. The barrel and action are essentially the same, but the Long Range appears to have a matte finish. It comes with a Bell & Carlson M40 stock with the aluminum bedding...

    Rifle Scopes m 223 scope mount

    Hi. I have an M223XR scope mount on my AR platform match rifle that I specifically built for NRA Long Range rifle matches. This rifle was built to accommodate my injuries but yet placing me back in competition. I have mixed feelings about the M223XR scope mount. I placed an 8-32x BSA Platinum...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver scope reticle assistance requested.

    Hello. Many years ago before my accident and resultant concussion, I had a Weaver KT15 on my 1000 yard bolt gun, and I remember that the dual X reticle had set, published dimensions that were beneficial for both ranging and sizing game. Sadly, I can't remember where I saw these dimensions...

    Rifle Scopes Seeking assistance identifying a Weaver scope's vintage

    Hello. I have recently acquired a Weaver K10 scope that was represented as a "K10 60B". However, upon its delivery and close scrutiny, I have to believe this scope isn't a K10 60B. I suspect this may be an earlier vintage than the K10 60 I already own. Unique characteristics include: 1...

    Rifle Scopes Repairing a vintage Weaver K10?

    I have an older El Paso Weaver that needs some TLC. I have an idea for one of the fixes, but I do not know how viable it is. First, are the eye pieces on the Weaver K scopes interchangeable between powers or are they power specific? The eye piece on my K10 has a crack on the interior edge...

    Rifle Scopes Paralax adjustments?

    No, I do not know what parallax is. What I remember thru the fog of concussion induced memory loss is something akin to the real versus perceived flight of the bullet passing the merger of line of sight. Most likely my understanding is incorrect. Having been an iron sight shooter virtually all...

    F T/R Competition New Shooter, where do I fit, looking for guidance RCRTR

    I am rather new to F class, but experienced in NRA High power (25+ years). I am adapting my match rifles, so I am using both the 223 and 308 which allows me to compete in F T/R matches. I have proven to myself that I can safely utilize the 223 at 1000 yards prior to moving to F class, but I...

    Rifle Scopes Paralax adjustments?

    Hi. I have an El Paso Weaver T16 I am installing on a Remington 700 (.308) I am building as a long range F class rifle. For the most part, this rifle will be used for matches ranging from 800 to 1000 yards, with an occasional 600 yard match. My question: if I set the parallax for 1000...

    F T/R Competition New F TR Rig??

    Recent car wreck messed my back up even more than it was and just can't get into positions to shoot tactical matches any more, I can shoot prone for extended periods of time and I hope F Class F TR fills my need to compete. Thanks for your help Sorry to hear about the accident injuries, but...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    No! That is being viewed a bit out of context. I am looking at the guy that is much like Greg or myself, the long time shooter that due to circumstances beyond their control that can no longer shoot the course of fire that they have shot for ages and already have the appropriate equipment. Many...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    Concerning service rifles in F class, I would lean towards the F class target, not the 2 MOA target. I think that the service rifle shooter would most likely move up to a bolt gun by the time they start flirting with an expert card, since they could be on the verge of maxing out the known...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    I have to agree. If this were a physical possibility for me, I would. Honestly, I can see F class being a great starting point for the neophyte rifleman. It is a great way to get started with minimal cash outlay. I can envision the neophyte being able to start for less than $800 with a varmint...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    Concerning service rifles in F class and classifications. Classifications are, and always will be, the transitioning steps for the shooter to evolve from neophyte to experienced rifleman. Competitive riflery should not be like most current public education where you walk on eggs to avoid...

    F T/R Competition Dividing F T/R into 2 divisions? Opinions?

    I believe that there is a valid point here. At my last match, I saw a competitor using an M1A with irons on a bipod. A good point to look at is how many"retired" service rifle shooters are there out there that have retired from shooting for other than vision impairment reasons? The more...
