    300 yards shooting is all over the place.

    You don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot; but, you do not need to. Different sizes and shapes of groups can be caused by a multitude of problems/errors making it impossible to discern all causes of misplaced shots. Yet, because all shooter errors originate from inconsistency and incorrect...

    Natural Point of aim question

    With sling you want the position as described in manual. You want to place the non firing hand as directly under the handguard as possible to create mechanical advantage, that's to say, artificial/ bone support. When the sling is adjusted properly, you will be able to relax into it. It's the...

    Natural Point of aim question

    Since you have introduced the sling, read the "position" section in the manual I emailed to you. It shows step by step how to build a proper prone loop sling supported position. BTW, I sort of like your persistence. Desire, discipline, and brains will get you there.

    Natural Point of aim question

    You have not mentioned how you are dressed, like short sleeves on concrete as opposed to shooting with a sweat shirt and jacket on carpet. Make it comfortable so as to not be distracted. You also might want to do dry firing exercises from the standing position. This is the position where NPA...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    All. Some here have opinions based on experience and others have impressions gathered from opinion leaders. And, although it's nice to know what the experts are shooting these days, I'd like to know how those here are doing with their preferred rifle. So, perhaps, those with LR experience, that...

    Is anyone else worried?

    What, me worry? I am actually encouraged each year when I see the USAMU's SAFS sell out to a crowd of about 700 folks who do want to learn how to shoot.

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    I shoot higher scores in any condition at NRA LR Service Rifle Competition with my match conditioned AR than I have ever shot with any of the match conditioned M14's I've owned, for a multitude of reasons but most importantly I can get .5 MOA at 100 in practice with the AR and irons. I have not...

    Ar barrel

    Is your project for a flat top receiver or fixed carry handle? Do you want A2 or M4 feed ramps in barrel extension?

    M14 craving - wanting to build the ultimate sub-moa M14.

    OP, You might want to consider a Springfield Armory Super Match. The Super Match is authorized/compliant with NRA LR Service Rifle Competition rules. Shooting in this sort of competition will promote learning about everything important to good shooting. I would suggest this factory built rifle...

    Advanced Marksmanship Dope. how often does yours change?

    Actually, a 20 degree temperature increase or decrease can change the muzzle velocity about 50 fps. This has a 1 minute value. So, this and a multitude of other problems/errors could be causing the inconsistent results. If the OP recorded his shots and conditions in a Data Book he would not need...

    Lightest pull AR Trigger ?

    What you have observed suggests you have a good mind. What a refreshing post.

    Natural Point of aim question

    Well, bone alone is bone alone so I don't see it is misleading; but, another term for the same concept is unsupported position. The idea is to learn how to build a steady position from bone alone.

    Should I choose.223 for a "trainer rifle"?

    I shoot 6.5/284 in NRA match and any/any LR events, no doubt, it's a laser; but, it's expensive, especially with such a short barrel life. Shooting my match conditioned commercial equivalent of the M16A2 with irons at 1000 is a lot more fun and less expensive. While I can clean with the...

    Should I choose.223 for a "trainer rifle"?

    Get a .223 factory gun with a 1/9 twist, and at least 20 inches of barrel, then, when shooting something like the 75 grain AMAX, you can use the rifle at 1000 yards in addition to using it for training at reduced course targets. It's the reduced course of fire BTW which allows a spotting scope...

    Stock choice for precision AR. Not the PRS.

    I use a standard A2. I can easily shoot from any position with proper butt to shoulder, stockweld, any eye relief. After all that was the intent of the design. I perceive some "improved" butt stocks do not have any meaningful benefit unless an optic requires reorientation of the head for line of...

    Natural Point of aim question

    I was indeed referring to bone only, not with sling, loop or hasty. The OP should learn to build bone only first to help him recognize when NPA has been adjusted properly; and, to recognize when bone is actually supporting the position. When a novice shooter initially uses any artificial...

    .308 168gr vs 175gr

    I've never shot either bullet at 700. For certain, any shooter will see the ballistic advantage of the 175 at 1000. At any specific distance, comparison between the 168 and 175 would likely require annotating trends in a data book from long strings of fire. As I earlier alluded, my score books...

    .308 168gr vs 175gr

    The 175 was developed as an LR round for the match conditioned M14. I shoot it at LR, but prefer 168 for MR. My experience with each suggests indistinguishable results at 600 yards but the 168 is easier to control; and, since the b.c. of the 175 is not needed for 600, I shoot the 168 in mid...

    What .223 brand/round for a 16" barrel?

    Here's what I comprehend, you're in over your head. It started with your first post here on a topic you have no experience with. Here are the facts that matter: Any defective bullet will not be as accurate as one which is not defective regardless of spin. At some point, drag will slow the...

    What .223 brand/round for a 16" barrel?

    You've picked an article that has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. Bullets going through his barrel sideways in his scenario indicate an eroded throat, jump distortion, or bad bullets. A better way to think of a spinning bullet is a children's top or a football not a ceiling fan. It's...
