    Advanced Marksmanship # of shots between cleaning ?

    Re: # of shots between cleaning ? + 1 on the carbon. I've had a lot more problems with carbon buildup than copper. I think moisture changes the properties of the fouling over time and causes excessive carbon build up when a bullet is fired over it. I'm experimenting with dry brush and...

    Re: # of shots between cleaning ? I would still like to hear from shooters that compete in "for score" matches. Does your "X" count improve with the time between cleanings?

    Advanced Marksmanship # of shots between cleaning ?

    Re: # of shots between cleaning ? How many of you guys that shoot all year without cleaning shoot "for score" type matches like F class or Palma where X counts rule? How many shoot steel matches where the accuracy is measured in "minute of steel"?

    Re: Do You Set The Soulder Back on a Semi I've been doing something that definitely goes against conventional wisdom but has worked so far for me. I'm loading .223 for my AR using a lee collet neck die, charging die, seating die and a lee factory crimp set lightly in my 550. I'm running...

    Zeroing your rifle

    Re: Zeroing your rifle I think that sighting in at a distance that is about halfway to the max distance you will be shooting will give a better working zero. You can still have your turret set for a 100 yard zero but I would set that with the dope. If your actual POI is off .5 moa at 100...

    Zeroing your rifle

    Re: Zeroing your rifle I zero elevation at 300 then dial back to the 100 yard dope and set the turret to zero. If I get a calm day I use the windage at 300 for zero if not I set it at 100.

    Lapua Scenar VS SMK

    Re: Lapua Scenar VS SMK I'm with Mk4 to the extent that a slight crimp using a lee factory crimp die could have a beneficial effect on consistency in the absence of a better method for achieving consistent neck tension using other means such as neck turning, using a bushing neck die and...
