I have a brand new never used Sightron SIII 8-32x56mm with the MOA-2 reticle.
It is mounted in Leupold Mk4 tall rings right now it was on my AR for some fun photos but I never shot it. I was going to put it on my 308 to Shoot F-class at Quantico but since the election I haven't had time or...
I am setting up my custom 308 for F-Class shooting here at Quantico MCB. I don't have the funds to get a custom made one piece 20moa base. So I am using the Burris posi align rings to start. I have the set of ring inserts that comes with +-5, +-10, +-20. If I wanted 25 moa of adjustment...

If you have a vice you can try putting the die in the vice and getting a pair of channel lock or vice grip pliers and twisting it until it comes out WARNING: This may or may not damage the die. The best way is to buy a stuck case removal tool from RCBS or Hornady or one of the other reloading...

I think 250 yards is about the max for coyotes. Ground hogs/ rockchucks you might be able to squeez out 300 or 350. Ground squirrels and P Dog I but if you can dope the wind 400 yards. Don't take much to explode a pdog.
I have a buddy with one. Shooting 1/4" 5 shot groups at 100 yards. Getting around 3900 fps I believe. It is in a Ruger 77/22 hornet rebarreld with a shilen barrel
Ok I was looking for some bullets to order and try my hand at some f-class shooting in the near future. While looking I went to Burger bullets. Here is where I am getting confunded they say you can shoot their 180gr and 190gr bullets in a 12 twist barrel. All others I have talked to (Gunsmith...

Ok here it goes. The reason I am cautious is that some hunting related message boards have some really old school guys on there AKA fuddy duddy who don't like graphic pictures posted.
Here it is. Not long range at all seeing as I nailed him with a 50gr V-Max at a whopping 75 yards (He was...
Hello all. I live just down street from Quantico. I have seen and heard there were some f-class matches going on there. That is the main reason I joined. I'm an avid varmint hunter with hopes of making the VHA 500 and 1000 yard club someday. Right now I would settle for a good place to wipe out...
