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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello! While attempting to fire a Palma practice match on Friday, I noticed a rather unique looking bipod that seemed to have potential in my mind for F T/R, but did not have the opportunity to chat with its owner to find out more. Bipod description: Material: appeared to be three sided...

Hi. I am finding that experienced shooters are switching to F class for a number of reasons, be it: older age, physical disability (my motive), curiosity, expense, or sheer curiosity. The really nice part about F T/R is that it allows experienced riflemen to adapt equipment they have acquired...

Hello. I have a few questions about an older, steel tube "El Paso" Weaver T16 I picked up for the 308 bolt gun I am building for F class T/R Long Range matches. I understand in advance that in the opinion of others that there are better scopes out there, but this is what I want being on pension...

Hello. My name is Ed. I am an experienced competitor in NRA High Power competitions since 1988. I hold a Master classification in High Power and Sharpshooter in Long Range. Since I became disabled, I have earned a Marksman card at Mid Range. Due to the injuries, I have now discovered F class...
