    Nope. I failed to specify which bullet I was using in the original post.

    1,000 yards with 168 grn. 308

    Thanks. I used G Seven. gseven - Ballistic Program. I found this to be a bit more accurate than Nikon's Spot On (the difference was fairly minor). I had been making minor adjustments from 600 yards and out after setting elevation per the program. At 1,000 yds, I was about 24" short on the first...

    Not quite stupid.

    I recently received my completed .260 build. I spent about 6 months contemplating .260 vs.6.5C vs. 7mm-08. It was through the use of this forum that I finally decided on the .260. What I learned was .260 vs. 6.5C ballistics are near identical. 6.5 case efficiency yada-yada. The primary thing I...

    1,000 yards with 168 grn. 308

    I've only been shooting rifles for about three years. Blowing through hundreds of rounds of ammo in a couple of hours was fun and all, but it got boring pretty quick. I decided precision shooting is more fun. First bolt gun is a Rem 700 SPS, 20" bbl @ 1:10, all stock which i got two years ago...

    FINALLY got all my parts

    It took a while, but finally got all my parts in. Now rifle is with Griswold Bros. for completion. Very anxious and excited to have my first custom bolt action. However, after reading the "Catastrophic Failure" thread, I'll be just a little weary when firing that first round. Fortunately, I have...

    Could he have meant "Break Free"?

    Before and after blueprinting action: Results?

    How much does truing the action really affect performance? Have you blueprinted an action that you previously fired and were able to observe a performance enhancement? I just picked up a new 700 to tear apart for a build. I can have it blueprinted for $300. Is it worth it? Side note...

    Gunsmithing Importance of rifle stock

    Please forgive my ignorance, but I am relatively new to precision shooting. Can I get some input on the importance of a stock, beyond the obvious, bedding, free-floating barrel, weight and comfort? What criteria makes for a good stock? Rigidity of material? For example, I have a factory...

    Forgive me if this has been covered but;

    Why is H4350 so heavily favored over IMR 4350 for .260? They appear in consecutive order in burn rate. Again, I'm sorry if this has been discussed. I did a search before asking, but just keep coming up with H4350. I have an opportunity to get a decent amount of IMR. Just want to know if it...

    New from California

    Hello all. Coming here to gain some knowledge. Purchased my first bolt gun about two years ago. Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308. Started off with a cheap Nikon to get used to the rifle. Do all my own hand-loading. Upgraded to a NightForce a few months back. Completely changed the rifle and my...
