15 years since the last firing squad was used? I guess I'm out of the loop...thought it was longer.


In other news Taylor Farmer is gorgeous.

Yes. Yes she is.

So this dude chose a firing squad?

Of the 3 option (chair, lethal injection, firing squad) i don't think that would be my pick. While it certainly would be a quick death, I can't imagine it being painless.

I personally would opt for lethal injection. I think...

Scope advice for NRL22 competition rifle

R
TBH this was my initial instinct. I am neurotically fussy about reticles -- some too busy, some not enough detail for hold unders yak yak yak -- which led me to thinking he should just get behind several and see whether any of them rings his chimes. The kid has essentially zero experience looking through optics, so trying to guess which one he will "grow into" seems to me a fool's errand.

That said, knowing something about how close in the scope will let him see targets and how much magnification seems appropriate really helps narrow the field.

Lots of good advice and detail in this thread, all of it much appreciated.

What makes you say this??

Did you find the 308Win to like a lot of jump or some other reason? I have shot a load of rounds with the .020 Jump and had no issues. The COAL hasn’t been an issue in my 700. I was shooting a load of A4350 and recently started developing a new load with H4350 and that’s what got me thinking about all this again.

Remington 308W chambers have a LOT of freebore. It borders on ridiculous in fact. If I were to load a 168 SMK to touching the lands the only part of the bullet in the case would be the boat tail. 175 SMK isn't much better. As to whether these newer bullets would seat at these jumps I have no personal experience but I would personally not be comfortable with the bullet seated as in the forth picture (look at the neck bulge showing the bullet neck expansion. In my case I don't always load the magazine but I want my rounds to fit

I don't know the reasoning Remingtion chose to go this path with the 308W but I have heard that the 30-06 also had this condition from the few people I have talked/work with. In the 308W the mag length is around +/-2.850" so you can play within that dimension but in most cases going with 2.810 or slightly less works fine with older tangent ogive bullets in the 168-178 range. Only benefit of the longer seating depth is a little case capacity. As for the 30-06 I can't speak for the mag length.
