    Apps for dopes

    I have both Strelok pro and Shooter. Strelok works great for me. I have tried multiple times to get shooter to work, but it's always a good bit low, about 3 mils at 600 yards. As far as I can tell, I have the gun and ammo set up identical in both apps. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    First Bolt Gun Build (On a Budget)

    I hand load. These were 175 Sierra Match kings with 39, 40, and 41 grains of H4895. I've still got to test some RE-15. I'd like to find some Varget or a few others, but I'll take what I can find local. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    First Bolt Gun Build (On a Budget)

    Thanks guys! Since I'm all new to this, I couldn't tell much difference between the Nikon and the Primary Arms glass. I will say that the turrets on the Primary Arms are mushy, especially when going down. The Nikon had more positive clicks. I'm pretty excited about this, and even more so...

    First Bolt Gun Build (On a Budget)

    I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and finally had a little extra money. I decided to build this on a budget, so that's what I did. I started out with a Savage 11FCNS in 308. I swapped a friend the original sporter barrel plus two AR-15 magazines for the 308 varmint...

    Hello from Arkansas

    Thought I'd finally take the time to post here and say hello. I've been a member here for over a year, but just recently began my long range shooting and reloading hobby. I've just bought a Savage 11 .308 to begin a build. I'm looking forward to learning all I can here. Sent from my SCH-I535...
