    Choice of Brass

    I would say to get several brands of brass and fire some groups with it. I've seen some rifles shoot better with certain head stamps. The best advice it always to try it out in your rifle. SCIENCE! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Off set rifle foregrip legal?

    So I saw the video on the "Zero Sterling Grip" and decided to try it out. Its basically VFG mounted to the 9 o'clock rail and slightly angled. I ran it at a couple 3 gun matches for fun. At the last match though, someone mentioned that the ATF requires that all grips be in the same plane...

    308 over pressure?

    A quick note to those of you citing quick load for pressure numbers - you need to take into account different chamber dimensions. A wider chamber will allow the brass to absorb more energy as it expands, reducing the overall pressure reading, but potentially reducing brass life as well. I...

    308 over pressure?

    Did you say you used Winchester primers? Because the ones in your picture look silver and the Winchester primers are normally gold colored, but it could be the picture... Anyways, I've had trouble with Winchester primers not handling pressures that other primers can. You can always try...

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F T/R

    1:10 should be fine for those. Heck you can go quite a bit heavier. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Prone comfort

    Thanks for all the info! Here is what helped me in the hopes that it will give others ideas: One interesting thing I adjusted was to angle my cheek rest so that it was higher on the scope end and lower towards the recoil pad. This made it more comfortable for me to rest the entire weight of...

    Prone comfort

    I experimented a little more and found a better position a little lower and using no neck muscles. I like it except that only the top corner of the recoil pad is contacting the shoulder pocket. That seems like a recipe for pain! Can someone describe in more detail exactly what part of the...

    Prone comfort

    I just shot my first prone match. My shoulder hurts, indicating I need a new recoil pad. My upper back/neck and my shoulder blades also seem quite sore. Any advice for better prone comfort over long periods? I think I may need to raise my rifle up (using a 6-9" Harris BRMS and a small rear...

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F T/R

    The best advice for getting into ANY shooting competition is to use what you have and start shooting matches. Find out what you need when your current setup fails you on the line and look at what everyone else uses. You could shoot 1000 yards with a 6x...you likely won't win, but it will get...

    Gunsmithing Best gunsmithing bit set?

    I recently discovered first-hand the problems with standard hardware store screwdriver bits. While trying to remove a stuck action screw, the hardened steel allen screw head on the action screw stripped several bits round, leaving the screw head relatively unscathed. While I'm glad the screw...

    IMR powder

    IMR4320 is almost the same as Varget. Most of my loads are the same between those powders (with comparable results too) Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    RCBS X-Die Experiences

    I have not heard of this "paper clip check"... Can you give me a quick low-down on that?

    RCBS X-Die Experiences

    Has anyone tried the RCBS X-Die in the realm of precision shooting? I've been using it for a couple months with .308WIN and I'm liking it so far. I was wondering if anyone else has ever used these for a precision load, and if so, what were your thoughts? If you haven't tried them, then maybe...

    Advanced Marksmanship Has anyone done BOTH a Ladder and OCW test for a load?

    I always do an initial ladder test in .5 grain intervals to see where my pressure limits and nodes are. Doing this in an OCW test would take a lot more ammo. Then once I have a node picked out I fine tune the charge weight OCW style. In both tests I always look for nodes where POI doesn't...

    Extra dumb question about Harris Bi Pod

    Agreed on the swivel with the lock lever. I got the Pod Loc branded lever, but they are all the same. Also the notched leg version is a must. I would suggest putting a level on your rifle somewhere as well, since thats what the swivel helps correct. Harris HBRMS, also listed as the S-BRM...

    Android training app

    Anyone have a good recommendation for an android app that lets you practice marksmanship? I've seen a few out there but can't remember the app names. I was looking for something that would let you practice wind reading and ranging.

    .308 Winchester

    Just shot this at my first 1000 yard match. The load did well (even if I didn't :p). If you run the numbers it has some huge drop but the least windage compared to other .308 loads. Bullet: 210gr Berger VLD Target Case: Lapua .308 WIN Match Primer: CCI #200 Powder: IMR 4320 Charge: 40.8gr...

    Gunsmithing Bedding recoil lug.

    What is the stock material around the lug? Is it wood, fiberglass, plastic, or does your stock have an aluminum bedding block installed? The main issue is to make sure that you have enough clearance for a decent layer of bedding material. Whether or not you need to remove material just...
