    Tactical Shooters Equipment - What the pros use...

    The fact there is sometimes a "top 308" prize given away should be an indicator that's its a decent handicap. That guy or gal is applauded for their effort given the circumstances. If it was completely competitive with the other 6s and 6.5s then there would be no reason to acknowledge it separately.

    and you're clearly missing 2013 so... amateur is probably a good description. You're knowledge of current matches is probably minimal. :)

    This thread just passed silly and went to sad.

    Tactical Shooters Equipment - What the pros use...

    There are a few who can but when competing at the top level with there equals they are at a disadvantage. After nils jonasson won single stack nationals again, we were shooting a steel match the next week and he shot a plain jane stock mil-spec 1911 and he still won the match. But, he was not...

    Tactical Shooters Equipment - What the pros use...

    This thread just got awesome. There are a number of matches you may attend to prove us wrong. Feel free. I think the last match I shot there were at least 10 308s out of 25ish, maybe more. I think the end scoring went something like: 6, 6.5, 6, 6.5, 6.5...

    Rifle Scopes SFP question

    Must be the 5.5-22 I'm thinking of. Thanks for clarifying.

    Rifle Scopes SFP question

    I'll commend you on a decent question. It seems every time I'm near a scope counter at a gun store there is an idiot in front/behind the gun counter (or both usually) trying to describe sfp vs. ffp and they do a horrible job. Mainly because they've never actually used one. Also, I think...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce SHV?

    There is another updated recent thread with some more details but it has the same glass as the nxs line but it's not built like a tank like the nxs. It's still a pretty solid scope and alot tougher than a pst. I handled one the other day and it was a lot better built than I thought it would be...

    308 or 260 for younger shooters?

    Just my experience. I tried using it since folks said it worked well. Perhaps a cheap soft point wouldve done the trick but I got sick of it quick hence my 260 vote. My results there have been superb. $27 box of Hornady bthps (same load as my match load) have killed bear, deer and coyotes at...

    308 or 260 for younger shooters?

    Perfect hits, rolled animals over, heart and lungs, but then they get up and run off. Berger hunting, accubonds, ballistic tips, not impressed with the results. Found all the deer and a few of the coyotes after extensive blood trailing and like I said the wounds were not impressive. I've used...

    308 or 260 for younger shooters?

    I'd definitely go 260. Never realized the recoil of a 308 til I went back to one after shooting 6.5s For a while. For hunting especially I've had far better luck with the 260 than I ever did hunting with a 308. You could get away with some lighter faster 308 bullets but I always had problems...

    .45 ACP reloading issue

    Ive never used there customer service but if you had the box with lot number and sent in 10-20 showing how undersized they were and explained the rest were all loaded (although horribly) see if theyd give you a credit or just another box. Some companies give full new boxes even on an opened and...

    .45 ACP reloading issue

    hmm, i cant think of any caliber that would take something as small as .44. Id say those must have an issue. They state the diameter should be .4515. Id send them back. thats way too small.

    Remington model 7 in 6.5 creedmoor?

    Yeah you'd be miserable with either of those actions on a creed. Id sell one or just but a new s/a 700. Im sure someone would very easily trade straight across for your model 7.

    Defiance Deviant

    Happy, just dont cerakote the bolt body or it gets tight. I had to strip all the cerakote off my bolt then it was awesome. I cant remember who, but one of the smiths here on the site (bugholes maybe) was advertising bolt bodys slightly turned down so they could run coating without issues. I...

    Muzzle brake advice

    I really like the badger mini fte. Get the 22cal and have it bored to 6.5. Very effective and you time it yourself, easy removal for a can/cleaning

    Pistol reloading from glock. How do I do it?

    I find almost every 40 gets a bulge. When I ro a stage and pick up brass from glock to 1911 to 2011 to etc... they all get a bulge. I've got bags full of them from all makes and models and they all vary but plenty leave a bulge. More a case design I think.

    New guy in Arizona... Branching out

    What part of the state are you in? Do you shoot uspsa at rio? If so see you there. Also if you're into shooting comps we have a long range precision match at phx rod and gun each month. Just had the match this morning but it's every 3rd sat. Your rifle will fit right in. Welcome

    Rifle Scopes BC front cap won't fit, front of scope is too close to barrel....

    Yep. Some of the bc are super thick and you can take a lot of material off them without any issues.
