    Gunsmithing .30-06 barrel advice (length/twist)

    Notorious, Come in down, we'd love to have ya. My comments about the long barrel is irrespective of iron sights/scoped rifle class. Look at it this way; Say your SBR shoots 100% better groups than a 26" barreled rifle in same caliber (the difference in accuracy is nowhere near this, but...

    Gunsmithing .30-06 barrel advice (length/twist)

    Notorious, I am an engineer as well, a Chemical engineer. I also believe in data driven decision making. I've also been out of school long enough to know when when u need to act with best available information rather than wasting your time studying problems or deriving equations that have...

    Gunsmithing .30-06 barrel advice (length/twist)

    NotiousAPP, The first school of thought is correct. The second school of thought is trendy and theoretical in nature. Without going into a long dissertation I'll simply leave you with this observation; What do all the long range precision (bullseye type) shooters run? Yes, long barrels...

    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    Long range, Much improved shooting. The only advise worth taking in this two pages of internet BS is that of Sterling Shooter. He correctly identified the issue as deficient marksmanship skills. You worked on them, and got vastly better results. One more thing i can point you to; Parallax...

    30-06 Build Plan

    Nathan11B, Your point is well taken however, my point about wind advantage stands. Even if your are shooting silhouette style targets at distances greater than 600yards, the heavier bullets will be the difference between a hit and a near miss on a windy day...and remember, "only hits count"...

    30-06 Build Plan

    RHunter, I don't normally disagree with your posts, but i have to take umbrage with your assertion that "Anything heavier than a 215 really needs to be shot out of a 300 Win Mag." If the OP's target shooting application involves shooting bullseye type targets where the objective is to keep all...

    Gunsmithing .30-06 barrel advice (length/twist)

    Thanks for the clarification. Did not realize you intended to hunt suppressed. I also have an AAC Cyclone that i;m waiting for the Form4 to be approved...it may also accompany me on my hunts. You asked for pictures, so see below.

    Gunsmithing .30-06 barrel advice (length/twist)

    Been down this road...instead, fell ass backwards into a rifle. $635 for 26" for a fluted varmint profile -06. Rifle weighs about 9.5#s empty & just under 11lbs loaded...heavy for a carry rifle, but i'm young and humped my 11.5# 308AR around Wyoming mountains last year. My suggestions are: 1...

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    A5M, I missed the part about the sticky bolt...that's normally a sign of excess pressure. What does your brass look like?

    Range Report .308 SMK 168 gr at 2820 + fps.... ???

    A5M, Your load is ok as long as it's safe in your rifle. You don't need to download your powders for a certain velocities unless you find the recoil at the higher velocity accuracy node objectionable. Regarding your velocity, you are likely getting bogus chrono readings given the brand of...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    I know i'm gonna regret this but here goes... 1. I shoot/have shot AR-15 & AR-10s across the course. My scores are the similar...the guys who claim an AR-10 is "harder to shoot" than the AR-15s have never shot AR-10s XTC or haven't given it a fair shake...anytime you switch rifles, there...

    F T/R Competition 1000 yards w/ 20" barrel?

    Denys, Are there plans to hold another wind reading clinic? The timing was awful for us sling + iron shooters as we were at Panola for the regional match. On a side note, I love all the tactical shooters on this forum shooting 20" "long range guns" through internet chronos that give high...

    Case Head Separation help

    Pyrotechnic, MitchAlsup & Trailrider121 nailed it. I experienced the same thing, but for my 308 & 556 loads (both stout). I took a different tactic since i could not locate a case mic during the madness when all reloading items were sold out. I actually managed to locate some case...

    Range Report Velocity problem

    rck, re-read your posts...did not realize you had your own atmospheric observation station! You are going about it the correct way. But at least now you know how to work out your conditions by hand if your krestel craps out or you forget it at home :) What kind of shifts are you referring to...

    Range Report Velocity problem

    rck, The problem stems from your input into your ballistic program. The chrono number seems reasonable for a 16" 308. There is no way you are anywhere close to 2,700ft/s let alone 2,750ft/s. inputting the proper density altitude is the way to do it. Density altitude is pressure altitude...
