    Fieldcraft Double check my SHTF gun logic advice -

    Re: Double check my SHTF gun logic advice - Spot on, though I would encourage them to get comfortable with a rifle eventually, and it's tough to beat a mini-14 in 223 for simplicity and reliability, without being too Teddy Tactical. Good thread Jason...you'll start a Zombie thread now, I...

    Swift Scirocco II 75gr (.223)

    Re: Swift Scirocco II 75gr (.223) Long bearing surface, so watch for pressure early but an excellent bullet for game out of my 223ai. Ever animal that I have shot with this bullet (and 75 amax, for that matter) dropped with no issues. I think a .22 cal is perfect for deer, regardless of where...

    6x45

    All - Am contemplating a 6x45, and I'd like to send 95 smk's (pointed) close to 2900 without having to go 6tcu. Barrel length above 27" is not ideal for me. The only reason for this is to shoot in matches that have a 6mm floor, but have a super accurate 6mm that doesn't die at 1500-1800...

    Favorite cartridge for competition?

    Re: Favorite cartridge for competition? I built a straight 223, and it sends pointed bergers at 2900. I have to say, inside of 800, it matches my 260....outside of 800 it gets a bit more squirrely in the wind....but still better than my 308 with 155's. If more matches would allow a .223...

    Anybody shooting the 155 smk2156 w/ 1:11.25

    Re: Anybody shooting the 155 smk2156 w/ 1:11.25 8208xbr is your ticket for that bullet. I was at 2900 out of a 24" Bartlein @ 45.4 grains. The bullet likes to jump, alot, so be forewarned.

    Found the cheapest most accurate scale ever!!

    Re: Found the cheapest most accurate scale ever!! So, I have a Prometheus. I've gone from dispensing on two chargemasters, with constant overthrows, to dispensing accurate charges (to the kernel) in the same amount of time. GreatGonzo hit the nail on the head...if you shoot alot, especially...

    Accurate 223 bolt gun loads

    Re: Accurate 223 bolt gun loads Those of us in the South might have some temp problems with 335, and I would definitely go 8208xbr instead if available. 335 meters like water if you're not worried about temp swings. I've little velocity difference with 8208 in 100+ temps as well as just above...

    question about barrel conture for 223

    Re: question about barrel conture for 223 I run a 6.5 twist as a result of poor planning, but in varmint contour. 82 bergers scream at 2900 out of my brux, and it hammers. A good barrel/action/stock/BEDDING job won't walk on you... My "do over" twist and barrel combination after this one...

    Gunsmithing Pierce Action Light Primer Strikes

    All - A Pierce Action, with a timney 510 with the longer sear "thingy" installed is giving massive light primer strikes on m118Lr, Hornady TAP, among others. Has anyone experienced this with the Pierce? Will a Jewell or Remington fix this issue? We are under a massive time crunch with this...

    Does bullet weight variance .1gn affect accuracy

    Re: Does bullet weight variance .1gn affect accuracy I'd quit shooting before I started worrying about bullet weight variance, especially in "tactical" practical rifle matches. I'd also bet that *most* can't shoot the difference. More power to you, however, if you have the time and/or...

    Range Report 139gr Lapua Scenars go transonic at 1000yd?

    Re: 139gr Lapua Scenars go transonic at 1000yd? There is no way that should be happening, save for water or some obstruction in the barrel. 41 grains, however, is a very very light load. Where did you get the 2750 reading?
