    Building a rifle for quasi-benchrest/F-class

    My club shoots 600 yards off the bench at 600 yard F-class targets. Most of the winners shoot real F-class and use their F-class rifles with are typically single-shot bolt actions, no magazines, with straight cylinder contour barrels (~1.25" at the muzzle), and weights around 15-20 pounds...

    Preferred target shape for shooting groups?

    What is your preferred target shape for shooting groups on paper? Square? Diamond? Circle? Trapezoid? Rhombus? Decagon? I like diamonds and will bisect the diamond with my reticle, but I'm curious if there's something better.

    Ultimate Reloader's 14 Single Stage Press Shootout

    Did we discuss this yet? Single Stage Press Shootout - Full Article Data Summaries & Conclusion Some things that I took away: -The Frankford Arsenal M-Press might look like a Co-Ax, but it doesn't have that oh-so-easy sizing force the Forster Co-Ax has. Other numbers are middling at...

    Anyone track reloading data in Excel or Google Sheets?

    Rather than have scraps of paper on my desk, in my range bag, on my reloading bench, in my car, etc., I was pondering having reloading data in a spreadsheet. Columns I'm thinking would be: Cartridge Rifle Date Bullet Powder Type Powder Charge Primer Case # of shots in group Group size Max...

    Primer pockets and seating... WTH!?!?

    I will preface this by saying I am not a novice reloader. I have tens of thousands of rounds handloaded with 9mm, .38 Special, .44 Mag, .45 ACP, .223 Rem, and 7.62x39. I am new to precision reloading, however. 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady brass is making me lose my mind. This is 1x brass from...

    Rifle Scopes How do you set your zero stop?

    How do you set your zero stop? I.e., do you allow a few extra clicks below zero? Why or why not?

    Rifle Scopes Pull to unlock, Push to lock

    I really like how the turrets operate on my two Sig Tango6 scopes. Pull to unlock, push to lock, and they remain unlocked while pulled out. There's no spring tension to overcome and once they're unlocked, they stay that way until pushed down. What other scopes in the $700-$2,000 price range...

    Euro Optic is good people!

    I ordered some CTR mags and the box was apparently opened and resealed during it's journey from PA to NE. Somewhere along the way the mags were removed and hair growth product was put in its place. A quick call and Ari & Dave got me taken care of. I didn't have to fill out Form 87 in...

    Preferred target shape for shooting groups?

    I'm working on some load development and shot with a few different targets today. I noticed that even with the same load, I did not shoot as well with squares as I did with other shapes. Also, a square with a very small center dot did not work well for me either. What is your preferred target...

    Spotter: Konus or Bushnell Legend?

    I asked this over on ARF and didn't hear much back, so I'll try here. I'm considering these two spotting scopes: Konus Konuspot 20-60x80 and Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 20-60x80 I'd appreciate some feedback and guidance. The most demanding use I realistically foresee in the near-future...

    Does anyone make a heavy barreled .30-06?

    I've been thinking about picking up a bolt action for "general use." I do not have one right now. I don't hunt (but I might in the future), so this would be used mostly for fun off the bench, mostly from 100-200 yards. There's a 600 yard range nearby, but it would be a while before I challenged...
