    Need some tips/advice for starting to compete

    I am a bit over zealous but thats just my nature. I always enjoy striving to reach a difficult goal and challenging myself. That's why I raised the bar high at wanting to get in the top 10%. I like how turbo54 suggested making bets (beer, dinner, etc.) during training to add that stress. I...

    Need some tips/advice for starting to compete

    Hey guys, I want to start competing in tactical sniper matches. I've never participated in one myself but I have spectated on 2 occasions. I have watched the previous 2 Mammoth Sniper Challenges in Park City, Kentucky. I know now what to expect: milling, making a range card, improvised...

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    I killed a squirrel yesterday. Hopefully, it was the one that was getting into the garden. I shot him halfway up a tree near the pond. I was shooting from inside the barn on a tripod with the side door open. The shot was about 50 yards away. I was shooting no where close to the garden by the...

    Consistency comparison between single stage vs. turret press

    See I've thought about selling my 300WM bolt gun and getting a Barrett MRAD in 338LM (or 300WM if they ever offer it for Sniper Comps). I was worried I might have to go with the Redding Ultramag press because of the increased frame opening size and ram stroke. Wow, I didn't think the T7 would be...

    Consistency comparison between single stage vs. turret press

    I learned something new. I didn't know that Sierra used a Redding T7 for their QC! The T7 is looking really good right now...

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    I'm well aware of the cost of the Lapua ammo. I don't go blazing thru a 550 round bulk pack of ammo. I shoot maybe 10 cartridges with it each outing. But its just like me and my beer. I buy a 6 pack of Left Hand Milk Stout for $11 because of its high quality and taste. I purchase that beer once...

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    I shoot CCI stuff for animals and Lapua for paper targets. With the Lapua I can shoot 1-1.25" at 75 yards using a tripod.

    Consistency comparison between single stage vs. turret press

    Hey guys, I have a Redding Big Boss II single stage reloading press. I use it to full length size 300 Win Mag brass for my precision bolt gun. In September, my White Oak Armament AR15 upper will be coming in. I want to reload for it and I'm considering stepping up to a turret press. I have my...

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    The garden is on level land and then to the west there is a downward sloping hill that leads to a trailer park about 75 yards from the garden. To the south are my neighbors cows and the property line is about 25 yards from the garden. To the east is my mom & dad's house thats about 50 yards...

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    There is a medium size tree on the edge of the garden. I could just wait for the squirrel to get inbetween me and the tree then snuff him out?

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    My family's garden is about an acre in size. I think it would be impractical to construct a cinder block wall given the size of the garden. I got the knowledge, wisdom, and skill. I'm 26 and I have been shooting since age 9. When I was in the Marines I was an 0311 and I shot rifle expert 3...

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    Hey guys, Thank you all for taking the time to reply. That in itself is very appreciated with everyones busy lives. I will try to get some CCI 22 CB Longs that everyone is recommending. I wonder what it's going to sound like when that CB Long projectile hits that squirrel? Thanks everyone :)

    Is the CCI Velocitor 22LR Ammo Worth a Hoot?

    Hey guys, Going to be shooting squirrels that are getting into the family garden. I'm shooting an Anschutz 1416D HB from about 50-75 yards away. I want quick clean kills and I don't want the projectile to leave the squirrel. Is the CCI Velocitor just what the doctor ordered?

    Rifle Scopes Need help selecting scope for semi 308

    Hello all, First some background. I am wanting to move away from bolt action toward semi-automatic. 99.9% of my shooting is within 800 meters. Most of my shooting is 200-300 meters and I train on shooting 110 mm clay pigeons which closely simulate the vital zone of a man. After I sell my...

    When will Barrett release other calibers for MRAD

    Re: When will Barrett release other calibers for MRAD I know right! If I were Barrett I would definitely try to get the SOCOM PSR contract. That would be excellent for the company and secure it financially for a few years. Maybe they are having some engineering problems? Anyway I was at...

    When will Barrett release other calibers for MRAD

    Re: When will Barrett release other calibers for MRAD Thanks for responding! I only see 0.338 Lapua Magnum under configurations on the Barrett website. Also, the same thing inside the price list for the MRAD.

    Hey guys... When will Barrett be releasing the 0.308 Win and 0.300 Win Mag calibers for the MRAD? What other calibers do you think Barrett will be releasing?

    Rifle Scopes Which angular measurements MOAvMIL do you prefer?

    Re: Which angular measurements MOAvMIL do you prefer? @ Force_Multiplier I'm referring to click adjustments when I say if your more comfortable using SI or Imperial Units of Measure. My S&B PMII for example has 1/10 milliradian adjustments which is the same as 1cm @ 100m. For a MOA scope it...

    Rifle Scopes Which angular measurements MOAvMIL do you prefer?

    Re: Which angular measurements MOAvMIL do you prefer? I picked MIL/MIL. I feel more comfortable using centimeters and meters than using inches and yards. I can look at a distant object and more quickly estimate the distance in meters than I can in yards. Being an engineering student I have...
