    First time shooting at 600y!

    One of the coolest things in life is an X-ring hit at 600 yards. Congratulations. HRF

    Impact shift documentation?

    This is going to take some work, there's no two ways about that. Here's how I would go about it. First I'd designate one of the loads as my "primary." That is the one for which my rifle would always be zeroed. You will then have to determine the trajectory and associated sight adjustments...

    Hornady "Suspend" List

    I, for one, appreciate Mr. Hornady's taking the time to make a video to update us as to the status of their production issues. HRF

    Whatever the reason, it's long past being funny! HRF

    Garand Loads?

    I'm a brand new M1 Garand owner, but I'm pretty well acquainted with handloading the 30 06. I managed to brew up a pretty good combination for my new rifle on my first attempt. That load consisted of 46.5 grains of IMR 4064 behind a 168 gr. SMK, and it proved to be both accurate and reliable in...

    Powder Drought

    Where in OH are you? I was in Fin, Feather & Fur yesterday (Middleburg Hts store) and the had both of those. Unfortunately for me, they had no 4064. HRF

    Reloader #19-Any Experience

    And here's the icing on the cake. It's a little cheaper than other powders!

    Reloader #19-Any Experience

    4064 behind a 168 grain SMK was my previous match load for my 1903A4-gery. But the RL 19 is more accurate. I did notice while doing my initial load work-up, back during the late winter and early spring, that RL 19 does seem to be somewhat temperature sensitive. During these warmer spring and...

    Reloader #19-Any Experience

    A couple months ago I was getting desperate for some powder to load my match 30-06 ammo. None of the powder I typically use was available anywhere, so I ended up buying a 5 lb can of RL 19 figuring it was better than nothing. I have never used any of the RL powders prior to this, and I was a bit...

    The beginning

    As someone who has trained for many years in Asian martial arts, I can say with some certainty that precision shooting is no less a martial art than those that are practiced in dojo's around the world. The interesting thing about all martial arts (to include precision shooting) is that for those...

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    Mine did well enough to eek out a 195-5X at the recent East Coast Championships. Considering this was with the 2.5X scope, I was extremely pleased with its performance! HRF

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    Remember, there's two parts. First: identify the rifle you're nominating. Second: explain why you think it is the most historically significant Sniper rifle. HRF

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    I wasn't aware the SVD came out that early. If so, I stand corrected. HRF

    What is the Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle?

    Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all the 1903 variants were simply the original M1903 design slightly modified for specific applications. As such, it was a battle rifle that was pressed into service for target competition, Sniper use, etc. While there is no doubt that...

    What is the most Historically Significant Cartridge?

    Interesting answer. I suppose technically this should have been posted on the "Most Historically Significant Sniper Rifle" thread. Nevertheless, it is a compelling point to ponder. As I've mentioned before, the depth of historical knowledge presented in these threads is very impressive! HRF

    Why Would Anyone Want to Shoot a Vintage Sniper Rifle?

    I think that is a good and valid point. HRF

    Stephen Hunter's The Third Bullet

    Bob is said to be 66 in this book. You have to suspend a little bit of disbelief when you contrast his performance to his age in a few of the scenes. But I like the character, and it is fiction after all, so I cut him some slack. HRF

    I don't think you'll be sorry! HRF

    Stephen Hunter's The Third Bullet

    I just finished this book, and I think it just might be Hunter's best BLS book yet. Anyone else read it? Have any thoughts? HRF
