    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    Re: 30 shots in 10 minutes? The match is a 2 man team, 10 minute timed event. There are 48 steel plates set out from 75 to 300 yards. Most of the plates are 4" wide and 6 " high. If I use my XCR, I will go through alot more ammo because I only have access to surplus 7.62x39.(that crap only...

    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    Re: 30 shots in 10 minutes? I would assume that the barrells on AR15s and rifles like the Rob Arms XCR are made for continuous firing where as a bolt action barrell is not?

    30 shots in 10 minutes?

    I am fairly new to bolt action rifles and need some advice. There is a match at the local club on Sunday. It will require firing 30-40 rounds in 10 minutes. I usually use my semi-auto tactical rifle, but I am concidering using my .308 Remington 700 26" heavy barrell police. Would this high round...

    Re: Lucky guess?? I am planning on doing a ladder test after the snow melts. There is about 3 feet of snow on the range and 100 yards is as far as it has been plowed out. Our local range is 300 yards....is a ladder test effective enough at this distance? I read somewhere that 300 to 500 is...

    Re: Lucky guess?? That is in grains. My manaul said 32-44 grains, so I decided to start in the middle.

    These are 5 shot groups at 107 yards with my Remington 700 in .308. I was trying some 165 Sierra HPBT and Hornady 168gr HPBT. I just used a middle of the road powder charge for each and spent alot of time prepping my brass. I was smiling ear to ear. I've always been a semi-auto kind a guy and...

    Re: A few of my favorites About the bi-pod, I like it under the stock because it makes it less prone to damage.

    Re: A few of my favorites I love my XCR. It is in 7.62x39. I took it hunting last fall and it makes a terrific bush gun and is quick to get in and out of the truck. I live in Canada, so it is one of the only assult style rifles that can be used off a registered range.

    Bolt won't close on cold ammunition???

    Re: Bolt won't close on cold ammunition??? It was the shoulder length. I bumped back the shoulder on one of the brass and that made the difference. I guess the cold would have just amplified the problem somehow. A simple solution in the end that now makes me feel a little stupid. I tell my...

    Bolt won't close on cold ammunition???

    Re: Bolt won't close on cold ammunition??? Well, I froze everything at -10 Deg.F.. TRied to chamber several rounds (most would not). After rifle & ammo warmed up, all but 5 rounds would let the bolt close. I pulled a bullet and tried the empty brass -would not close. Must be a brass sizing...

    Bolt won't close on cold ammunition???

    Re: Bolt won't close on cold ammunition??? Thanks for the input guys. I am going to go out again in the next few days (it will be even colder), and try it again. I will first try freezing the gun and the ammo without firing a round to see if there are any issues. The comment about the bolt...
