    Shot 600 yards for the first time tonight....

    I'm actually a little impressed with myself. Out of the 20 rounds I fired at a 6" X I had: 7 - X hits (one of which was dead on tits center) 10 - 10 rings 2 - 9 rings 1 - 8 ring Not too shabby for my first time out at 600 yards. With my current loads I am about 19.5 MOA of drop at 600 yards.

    First time out with reloads....crappy results

    Ok...so I made up 30rds for my .223 (Tikka T3) today. These are the very first hand loads I have ever made. The results are rather sorry. To say I am disappointed is putting it mildly. Here is a pic. The first group was about what I shoot with quality factory ammo. After that it all went to...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold service turn-around time?

    I sent my Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20x40 EFR in to Leupold for repair. The elevation adjustment is messed up. It would only go down about halfway, then the crosshairs stopped moving although the knob still turned and clicked. Fed-Ex shows it has been delivered and signed for. About how long do...

    GAP wait time?

    Anyone know what the current wait is? I ordered a barreled action about 3 weeks ago. Was quoted a little less than 4-6 weeks. Waiting is the worst part. -dan

    First time stretching the legs a bit, pics...

    Not sure where to post this or if it is ok but just wanted to share. I'm just getting into this long distance accuracy thing so I'm still learning a lot. This was my first trip to see how the rifle works past 100 yards. Was such a nice day that I took my rifle and gear to work so I could hit...

    Stupid question time - Neck sizing

    I'm getting started loading for my .223AI. I'm new to neck sizing and was wondering about lube. I use imperial sizing wax when bumping the shoulder on my .308 brass, should I be using it on the necks of the .223? I tried a couple dry and they seem to size easily without anything on them but I...

    Cheap Trigger Time

    Question for you guys. Hope this is in the correct forum. I am just about done with my custom built .308 for F-Class competition. I am thinking about purchasing a CZ452 Varmant .22LR to get some cheap trigger time.. I have read that shooting a .22LR at 200yds is pretty close to shooting a .308...

    Advice on loading VLD's for the first time

    I just got in some "sample" bullets from JLK "Swampworks" and I've never loaded a VLD before. Right now they're going in a 30-06 My current pet load is topped with a 178 Amax and I seat them to contact the rifling upon bolt closure. I got some of the 175 VLD and 180 VLD with Long Boat Tail...

    Rifle Scopes Time to upgrade optics, some questions...

    So I recently built my first precision rig (Rem 700 in .308) and I put a Bushnll Elite 3200 5x15x40 on it. I honestly like the scope and for the money it is hard to beat. Well, a few weeks ago I took a precision shooting class with a very knowledgeable instructor. He was commenting how the big...
