    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. Jeff, I didn't know if you were trying them out or not. I just threw it out there to see if you would bite.

    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. Now that people are going off the deep end I would like to take it to a new level and ask one of the shooters on the US team if one of the rumors I heard is true, namely that the colors they will be wearing for competitions now are going to...

    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. 156 would be the limit, which doesn't mean that 155's would be a requirement. A quick glance at MidwayUSA shows that Federal, TulAmmo, Remington, Sellier & Bellot, Wolf, Black Hills, Nosler etc., etc. offer off the shelf ammo that would fit...

    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. I'll go even further and I would ask that anyone challenge this logic. If you look at fullbore, people shoot the 155's. No one as far as I know shoots anything lower. If you cap the weight limit at 201, and if you use what has happened at...

    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. I voted with you Monte. I think the spirit of the FTR rules should always put an emphasis on shooting skills/wind reading and the 156 limit would do that. If you want to shoot 230's put them in a .300WSM and shoot in open. Open is already...

    Ballistic coefficient G1 and G7

    Re: Ballistic coefficient G1 and G7 Bryan, Had a question for you I've been wanting to ask you for some time and this seems like the right thread. If you look at the G1 and G7 numbers for any of the 90 grain .224 Berger bullets they are clearly superior to the 155.5 .308 or any other 155...

    Advanced Marksmanship Internal Ballistics Question

    I saw a very interesting post the other day on another site regarding how a bullet exits the case in a high psi round ( > 30000 psi) and I was wondering if someone knowledgeable could weigh in. Take for example a 50000 psi round in a .308 with say 2 thousandths neck tension. Whenever the...

    F T/R Competition Reamer specs for FTR chamber

    Re: Reamer specs for FTR chamber Jeff, Do you jump the 185's the same amount as the 155.5's? I usually jump the 155.5's around 45 thousandth and if I get a chamber cut to do that with the 185's, assuming the boattail junction is above the neck/shoulder line, the 155.5's will almost be...

    F T/R Competition Bullets Brass ETC

    Re: Bullets Brass ETC Jeff, How many firings did you have on your neck sized brass when you had the chambering issues? I've been using Lapua and anneal the necks after each firing but the case body seems pretty rigid. If Darrel is getting rid of his Winchester brass at around 8 firings...

    F T/R Competition Bullets Brass ETC

    Re: Bullets Brass ETC Good stuff gents, much appreciated. Actually I had read Jeff's brass preparation routine on the Sinclair blog and that was the reason I was even thinking about trying full length sizing. Right now I'm just using the Forster bushing bump die which bumps the shoulder and...

    F T/R Competition Bullets Brass ETC

    Re: Bullets Brass ETC So a follow up question for you Darrell. If only neck sizing do you use a bushing bump die that bumps the shoulder as well or do you eventually break down and full length size the brass? Or maybe you toss the brass before it gets to that point? I shot an entire...

    F T/R Competition Savage 12 F-Class TR

    Re: Savage 12 F-Class TR Thanks memilanuk. I'm used to shooting the 95 palma which has its own issues but I'm thinking my neck turned lapua brass might be a bit small for the Obermeyer chamber with it larger neck clearance. If I go that route I'll be chucking brass or annealing a lot...

    F T/R Competition Savage 12 F-Class TR

    Does anyone know what the reamer print is for this gun? It seems like Savage uses the 95 palma chamber in a few of their guns and I wanted to know if that was the case here as well.
