    3 minute steel target setup.

    Here is a system I developed for hanging targets in remote locations. A good load bearing pack (Eberlestock Dragonfly pictured) and you can get a decent target anywhere. I shot this with a 223, 55gr sp, 3150 fps, 150 yards. http://youtu.be/YDevD-QCoQ0

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Will somebody PLEASE shoot their new rifle and post a range report. Enough with the wanking and finger banging..... SHUT UP AND SHOOT.

    Accuracy vs. Standard deviation

    I've gotten to the point where I rarely use a chrono except for basic load setup to get a general idea of the velocity "range". The velocities I use in my ballistic program and drop charts are derived from actual drop tests. As far as SD goes it's impossible to get more accurate than a...

    Loads for 30-06

    Not sure exactly what you mean but it's a 06 of course. I did have it throated to accept the 208 Amax without pushing them down into the case. Other than that its a standard chamber.

    The COAL measurement is actually the ogive measurement using a Stoney Point gauge.

    Building Steel Plate target stands...Need Ideas/pics of what works

    This target hanging system keeps all the vital attachment components protected from the bullet. It gives very good audible and visual response to hits as well. T-posts are a dime a dozen. I am working on a new attachment system that is easier and cheaper to fabricate and should be offering...

    DIY steel targets . . . continued

    I can't believe nobody here thought of using a T-post as the platform. Even if you manage somehow to shoot one in half you just end up with a shorter target holder. T Post target system - YouTube

    The ultimate target stand!

    Watch the video I posted (above) to see the target in action.... I have welded targets that have lasted too and I've seen a lot of them fail as well. I'm trying to come up with something the average shooter that cannot weld can put together easily with tools at hand. I'm changing the T-post...

    The ultimate target stand!

    I'm working on a weldless T-post system and will have pics up shortly. Then all you will need to do is bolt a couple pieces of 1/4" x 1" steel strap and 4 chain links to your plates and bang away. WELDS BREAK especially with rifle targets and they soften the steel around the welds.

    The ultimate target stand!

    Here is a system I've been working on for a couple years. I've shot thousands of rifle to include 300 WM and pistol rounds at these targets without a failure. Notice that all hardware is protected by the plate so there is nothing to break. The target sets at an angle to the ground which...

    Anyone ever swedge their own hollow point bullets?

    I bought the Corbin kit back in the 70's that uses the 22 rimfire cases as jackets. They are not super accurate and you have to keep the speed down to under 3000 fps but they do go bang. With the long rifle 22 case you can make a 60 gr. "open tip" bullet which some people confuse with a...

    Tula SR Primers?

    Re: Tula SR Primers? I've shot about 5000 Tul SRM and my last batch I started to notice hang fires. They have always produced higher SD's than Fed 205's Great for the price and for blasting ammo.

    1000 yrd 175gr SMK out of....a LTR 20' barrel

    Re: 1000 yrd 175gr SMK out of....a LTR 20' barrel I have a 700 PSS 308 cut down to 20" and I tried the powders you list and then settled on IMR 4064 which gave the velocity and better accuracy and lower sd's with the 175 smk. I shot my 1st F Class match with that combo and took 3rd place.
