    300 Norma H-1000 max?

    Getting ready to work up two loads for my AXSR AI barrel, 27” 300 Norma with the 215 Berger Hybrid and 230 A-Tip and looking for info on what I should consider the max charge weight for these. I’ve read the 300 Norma thread and my loading manuals and the max seems to vary by several grains...

    What’s the thing that made the biggest difference if the quality of your reloads for long range/ELR once you got it right?

    AXSR action bolts issue

    Looks like I potentially found the issue with my AXSR not performing as expected. Was having weird results at the range that I thought were just ammo related but yesterday while swapping the barrel I noticed I could move it side to side out at the end of the hand guard and the entire upper...

    SOLD WTS AXSR Proof 6.5CM barrel

    AXSR barrel Selling a Proof Research Stainless 24” 6.5 Creedmoor barrel with Dark Earth coating. 5/8-24 threads. I got this in a package deal from Mile High when I bought the rifle because it came with the .308 bolt. I put ten rounds of 140 ELDM through it at the range when I was trying each of...

    AXSR POI shift with caliber change.

    Edit: To be clear, I expected to see zero shift between barrels, just trying to determine what would be considered excessive. I just started using an AXSR after getting set up with one with several barrels of different calibers. Had a question after my first range trip and thought I'd post this...

    Questions about zero consistency.

    1: Is it common to need to make small zero adjustments when shooting your rifle in different environmental conditions? I have a 20" Rem 5r .308 and zeroed it with FGMM 175 back in June when I was visiting family in WV. conditions were mid 90's temp, 80%+ humidity and 1300 ft elevation. Zero at...

    Finally scoped the LWRC SPR.

    Picked up a razor HD 1-6 JM on here recently from another hide member. Threw it on the old LWRC and got a good 200 yard zero on it today and I'm pretty pleased with this rifle. Until I got this scope I had only kept a red dot on it and shot it in a training class, a match, and just fooling...

    Getting banned from ARFcom

    So I lurked for a while over there checking out the LaRue forum and watching the shipping update threads and such since I ordered a rifle. I never felt like there was anything to add before but I recently started to participate a little. That lasted about three weeks and I got myself banned. I...

    Suppressors Where do I start?

    So I'm wanting to get started on lining up a suppressor purchase and not sure where to start. I've been scanning this forum but I don't know where to start. Lots of references to form 1 and form 4, whatever those are. If you guys could make some suggestions about what I should research...

    Home build resale value

    I'm considering building an AR for 3 gun type matches but seeing how often I buy and sell guns I started wondering how badly I could expect to take a bath on a home build if I decided to sell it. I hate to think that way but it's reality. I was pricing everything out and I could save maybe a...

    Common factory action problems?

    Search bar isn't giving me quite what I'm looking for so I'll take any links or answers anyone cares to offer. Questions: What are the most common problems with running a factory 700 rifle in competitions? When do you think it is time to just build a custom rifle vs. having...

    FINALLY got my tAR 5.56

    Not really a precision rifle but I thought I'd throw this up. Just got this thing after a 1.5 year wait. I'm not sure any gun is worth a 1.5 year wait but I was too curious to pass it up when I got the email that they were ready to build it. This is my first LaRue product and so far it seems...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Picked up a new M&P C.O.R.E.

    Won this at a shooting competition a couple weeks ago. Seems like a pretty good gun so far. Shoots a bit high for my taste with the irons but put the RMR on it and sighted it for POA/POI at 25 yards. I wasn't sure what to think of the accuracy at first because I couldn't get it to group from a...

    My 5r customized by S.A.C.

    I just received my 5r from Mark at S.A.C. today and thought I'd post a few pictures to show it off. This is my first time sending off a gun to a smith to have it customized and I am very happy with the results at least cosmetically as I haven't got to shoot it yet. I've had this 5r for about a...

    Rifle Scopes H58 vs. H59

    I've been considering climbing the scope ladder a little bit as I work into some more training classes this year. I'm still a novice at the long range game starting about this time last year and have been using the Mil-quad reticle in the SS 5-20. So I've been considering getting a new Leupold...

    Setup for Ballistic FTE

    I've been doing some searching and reading on this topic and it's getting a little confusing. I'm new to this kind of equipment so can someone please tell me the basic setup for getting started with ballistic FTE on iPhone and what is the best way to input climate data from a kestrel 4500? I've...

    First time with new 5r.

    Thought the other thread was getting too strung out and picture heavy. Took my new 5r .308 to a buddies house to get it sighted in and was pretty happy with the initial performance. First 5 shots after sighting. Shot one round of the Dot Drill for fun before time ran out.

    Rifle Scopes Please ignore this thread..> I'm an idiot.

    Sighted in my .308 today. Shot 2 rounds at 25 yards to verify it was on paper after bore sighting and they impacted .25 low and .25 right. Moved out to 100 and it went from being .25 right to 3" left. I haven't sighted in a rifle in years but to me this seems funny. I expected the elevation to...

    When to get a weather station?

    I'm just getting started in long range shooting with a rem 5r .308. My question is: At what point in my progression should I consider getting a kestrel for wind and air density tracking? Should I get one up front and start logging the data and learn to use it with my ballistic calculator as I...

    First attempt at precision rifle. Remington 5r

    Well I see a lot of other people post these so I will too. Nothing special, just a run of the mill .308 Remington 5r with Seekins 20 moa rail and low 30mm rings and a B&L 10x40 Tactical scope. Haven't had it to the range yet but should be heading up to the Yadkinville area next weekend for some...
