report

Today, 8/15 I participated in a match at 600 yds. There were 12 of us. It was a beautiful blustery day. Winds 10 - 15 kts, makes things a little more challenging for all. Well, each and every one of the the 11 other competitors proceeded to hand me my ass. Another fine day of shooting .

YMMV I have used 208AMAX,210SMK,210BT with the same load of RL17 same brass,primers and Gun same range for hundreds of rounds and different weather conditions,all three shoot within each other for come ups at 565 yards and 1K ,I could load one of each and group shoot at 9.5 mills at 1k. Now I...

Ok...I know it aint a tactical rifle...but I do know there are some BR guys who lurk around here...so here ya go. Well I have a 1000yrd match coming up this weekend so I have been at the range almost every day working on load development for the 6XC bench rifle. I found two loads (about a...

Went out to the range today, zeroed the new scope at 100 yard, then went to the 200 yard line. All the following are from 200 yards, didn't get a chance to take it out 300 because of a match going on. Used Federal 168gr BTHP match kings. I like the way it shoots with the shorter barrel, and I...

100yd, 5 shot groups, Bipod, Rear Bag, off a Bench... fired one shoot of each ammo type onto another target as a sighter, made some gross adjustments, then fired 5 for group... same ammo as in this thread, (http://forum.lwrci.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4524) +some 69gn Reloads from a buddy, but...

So I went on a camping trip this weekend just got back, Had a bunch of loads to test out of my rifle all using varget powder and federal brass and federal 210 primers. I tried a few loads the rifle didn't like to much but I finally got one that looks promising, I'm not sure on how to measure out...

At some point, for reasons I can't remember or understand, I sold off all of my 308's. I have had two excellent shooting LTRs and a beautiful 5R....as well as an absolutely stunning DPMS LR-308LW. THe only good news is I think all went to hide members so I am sure they all have good homes. I...

Well guys, finally able to get you guys a range report. Sent a 700P to Mark Lammers of LOSOK Custom Arms to have her "tuned up" a bit last winter. Mark docked the factory tube to 20" and did a Badger FTE install for me as well. Set the shoulder and breech face back and gave her a match chamber...

Shot this today during load development. The rifle is .223 on a R700 with a 20" 8 twist Lilja 3 groove, and a Mcm A3. Scope is a Premier Heritage. The rifle was built by Randy of R+D precision. The barrel had a few hundred rounds through it prior to today without cleaning including some moly. No...

Guys, Will try to keep this short. Got the Surgeon round action in the group buy, had a 6.5 Krieger I won and a Rock from the group buy. Had the gun built locally by Clarence Hammonds, shot the May Reade match w the Rock + my Shark can using 100 yard data from one range trip, was 4th after day...

Hey guys. I just got my first serious (to me anyway) rifle! I picked up a Remington Model 78 30-06 from an extended family member for pocket change. Some where down the line from new, it got a Ram-Line synthetic R700 ADL stock. I got it with a Bushnell 4x38 scope and Ironsighter rings. I picked...

Took the 6.5 Creedmoor out for the first time today, the rifles an absolute hammer... The Badger action is smooth as butta, and the thing performs flawlessly, as expected... The groups aren't stellar, but I think they reflect well on what the rifle will do. I messed with it last, and had been...

Just a range report I wrote up on the XD .45 Service a few weeks ago, thought maybe some Hide members would be interested. Well, as usual here in northern NY it was nice all week and the weather turned to shit for the weekend. It was a balmy 44 degrees, windy as hell, and pissing rain today...

I made a poor choice on the brake as you can see. This thing kicks up a bunch of shit!!!! I loaded one cartrige at a time until I got ejector swipes then backed off a half grain and loaded fifteen rounds. I shot 5 before turning the chrono on and then ran 10 over it. I got a few errors so I...

Hello, Just picked up the 700 SPS, the one with the flat bottomed plastic stock and high comb. Has anyone cleaned out the end section portion that touches the barrel? I was thinking if I should just shoot it without mods or clean it out before I do. Few minutes with a dowel and sandpaper. I...

So my order of Wolf ME decided to show up so I hit the range today for a quick sight in and a few groups. All groups were shot off of a bench using the bipods and a rear bag. Didnt have too much time (had family business to attend to) <span style="font-weight: bold">Rifle:</span> Rem 597 VQ...

So, I took my 6 year old shooting today. He started with his Henry youth rifle and had a great time: He then asked to shoot "daddy's rifle." I brought my 40x .22 trainer, which I had just dropped into a McMillan M40A1 stock. Of course, I was happy to oblige his request: Here is his 25...

I bought this rifle about 2 years ago. It was a 700 SPS-V .308. I paid about $480 out the door for it, bought an HS stock on ebay for around $200, old style trigger set at 2.5 pounds from tac-ops for $100, cut to 21", re-crowned and threaded for $60, steel bedded for cost of materials $20, YHM...
