    300wm as my first bolt action gun?

    Hello good people, I can't decide which caliber to go for my first long-range precision bolt action rifle. Unfortunately, I can't buy more rifles, so I must choose carefully for years ahead. I won't be competing, I just want to shoot for fun but I love challenges in terms of how accurately can...

    Long Action 6.5 caliber

    I have a long action (right now in 6.5x284) Winchester 70 that is needing a new barrel. I like the ballistics of the 6.5x284, but do not like the barrel life. I have bullets for 6.5 and would like to stay in the 6.5 family with my new barrel. What caliber would you recommend for a new barrel...

    30 caliber adapter

    anyone ever used one of these: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/32-acp-rifle-chamber-insert.aspx?a=471502 I ordered one to try, if it works it will make a easy way for subsonic loads for the non-reloaders. I was just wondering about rifle damage and accuracy.

    If I had a .223 Remington, a .308 Winchester, a .300 Winchester Magnum, and a .338 Lapua Magnum which one would I be a better shot with? Is 24x enough magnification to shoot out to 500 yards?

    Possible Sniper's Hide Spec Built Caliber Choices

    Okay, we talked about this briefly but things are starting to move forward and I wanted to check a few things out before getting too involved in the build specs. The Sniper's Hide M2009 build will be loosely based off the Gladius which was an 18.5" 308 rifle that George spun together for me...

    I have a basic understanding of the meaning from seeing repeated use in context but are their set weights for each caliber that are considered Heavy? Also does length have anything to do with it? For example the 155 Scenar being a lighter 30 cal by weight but long for its weight. Also what are...

    .257, Viable LR Caliber?

    I was wondering if anyone is using a 25 for any LR shooting. There are limited higher BC bullets, but it seems to be an asskicker. I have a 25-06 Rem Sendero that I dropped into a HS 2000 stock w/ a falcon 4-14 on top. I recently found a load for 115 Berger VLD's over IMR 4064@ 2990. I shot this...
