    If 2000MR & CFE are the same..............

    Re: If 2000MR & CFE are the same.............. I have never used CFE 223 but whatever is in it to keep things clean seems to be in 2000MR as well.

    F T/R Competition Success!! Finally! Long story....long

    Re: Success!! Finally! Long story....long Thanks guys for the kind words. Gstaylorg, you are absolutely correct, you would think the guys mentioned would be stingy with the info since they compete, and at the top too....but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Darrell, that's an...

    F T/R Competition Success!! Finally! Long story....long

    I know I sound like a broken record but I feel it needs to be repeated as much as possible. The good Lord put some awesome people in my life to get me where I am now: Jeff Rorer, Clint Cooper, Darrell Buell, Andrew McCourt, Bohem, Shredder58, Ed Shell, Memilanuk and I am sure there are more I...

    How long do you run brass in Tumbler w/ SS Media?

    Re: How long do you run brass in Tumbler w/ SS Media? I have been using denatured alky as the final step in washing the cases to help the dry fast but am wondering if this is causing my cases to darken up after drying? They are brilliant coming out of the SS media but don't stay like that...

    powder throwers accurate ?

    Re: powder throwers accurate ? I recently just switched things up and couldn't be happier. I got a tuned balance from Scott Parker (with $5 webcam in-front of it and laptop) with an Omega Auto powder trickler and a Lee perfect powder measure. I use the Lee to load .5-.1gns low then let the...

    F T/R Competition F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion.

    Re: F-T/R Bullet Weight Cap (proposed), discussion. Newb here as I have attended only ONE match, ever....so FWIW: What interests me about FTR is that it's not a rich man's game. Meaning you can have all the money in the world with the most tricked out (throated, yada yada yada) and...

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR Short chamber? 175 SMK C.O.L.

    Re: Savage F/TR Short chamber? 175 SMK C.O.L. Weird, I have a Savage FTR and it absolutely loves FGMM 168's which I thought were the same OAL as the 175 stuff? My gun would print horrible 4-5in groups with FGMM 175's at 100 but was less than a MOA with SW's stuff, no signs of pressure and...

    F T/R Competition Increasing Competitor Numbers?

    Re: Increasing Competitor Numbers? Weird, I look at most schedules and don't see many 1K matches, which is the only thing that interests me and motivates me to drive the 2-2.5hrs. If there was a 1K event every weekend (or just practice), I would attend provided the wife (boss) would allow...

    F T/R Competition Vertical issues with "bunny ear" rear bag

    Re: Vertical issues with "bunny ear" rear bag Thanks for the responses guys! I have never heard that but it makes complete sense. I have a match this weekend and since I really have nothing to lose, I will try the bunny ear bag for one of the 20 shot strings. The good thing about it is I...

    F T/R Competition Vertical issues with "bunny ear" rear bag

    All this bag talk got me thinking. I have a set of homemade poly filled bags I normally use but still have a cheap caldwell bunny ear bag that I don't use due to the vertical groupings I get with it (just as I was told I would). So my question is, what causes this and is there something I am...

    Savage 12 F/TR twist rate question

    Re: Savage 12 F/TR twist rate question I have the same rifle and also have had good luck with 168 hybrids, 185btlr and even 200 hybrids (it was hot and only tested them at 225yds) using 2000MR. FWIW off the shelf FGMM 168's are flat out amazing for <600yds.

    F T/R Competition new bipod

    Re: new bipod I just recently switched from a couple of standard bipods (harris included) to this one. I must say, having the adjustment up front is really nice. I can now get behind the rifle where I am comfortable with respect to shoulder height and adjust the bipod to that height versus...

    Re: new bipod Bada bing bada boom! By mouzetrap at 2012-05-30 Clint/Jeff GREAT job! This thing is slick! Love the precision adjustment, can't wait to try it out. Funny story, when the UPS guy handed the box to me I thought "Clint forgot to put my bipod in the box, this must be a cruel...

    RL-17 and Temp Effect on Effective Charge Weight

    Re: RL-17 and Temp Effect on Effective Charge Weight Rebel; I am using a Chrony but have shot 22lr ammo through it and it seems somewhat accurate..then again, a few % error is obviously more at 3000fps versus 1000. Anywho, Savage FTR 308, 30" barrel: - 49.2gr PP 2000MR, 185 berger btlr...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind read- More important at gun or target?

    Re: Wind read- More important at gun or target? Newbie Alert...be gentle. FWIW, all of the authors in "The Wind Book for Rifle Shooters" agree that the wind near you has the most effect; mid-range to target guess is used to fine tune. The wind speed has to be significantly higher as the...

    Re: Colorado/Wyoming, want to shoot prairie dogs? My favorite thing to do here in Va is groundhog hunt, problem is finding places to go and when you do, a great day is getting to take A shot at a hog, I can't imagine hundreds of rounds in one day, sensory overload! I can't help you out in May...

    Range Report: Alliant 2000-MR

    Re: Range Report: Alliant 2000-MR It definitely gets over 90F here...not to mention in my chamber after 20rounds. Thought I saw a graph from 32F to 132F with a constant slope...basically .85-1fps/degree for 2000MR.

    Range Report: Alliant 2000-MR

    Re: Range Report: Alliant 2000-MR I have only shot three different days with this powder, temperature swing of ~20 degrees, and haven't really seen any fps difference. According to some tests here, it looks to be .85-1fps/degree. Has anyone else seen this powder swing this much? I can...
