The new HOWA 300 PRC is due out very soon. I have a few Howas, got them as my cheap alternatives, but man do they shoot. My other 10k rifles live in the safe most of the time now.

email exbal if they have a droid version...as is only Windows mobile and Palm at the moment...

A some what relaxed hold....slow trigger pressure (concentrate on feeling the sear movement)....and what happens is that I'm totally surprised that the rifle has fired....my follow through is to let the rifle do what it does, I don't man handle it... This has improved my shooting more than...

I second the HTC phone idea....I have my HTC Touch Pro 2 setup with Exbal, OziExplorer (gps software u can upload your own maps and calibrate), and TomTom......one device to get me to the hunting grounds, navigate the hunting grounds and create on the spot data for shooting.....used to have...

Remington.....the only reason Remy's are popular for log range shooting is because any one with a lathe can work on one and look like a gun....and the gun smiths can charge out for the work they put into one..... Buy your self a Tikka T3 Super Varmint.....in 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Win Mag....out of...

BartB the article is correct.... I shoot 6.5x55, at 1000 yards i get 8in drift at 10Mph. 139gr scenar at 3200fps, at 3000fps the windage difference is just under 2in. drop another 100fps and the diff is a further 5in...in my setup.... so it is quite accurate..

i shoot the 6.5x55 and have dropped five deer at ranges from 500-900 yards. five deer in as many shots at deer. and have passed many shots up due to bad weather or no clear shot. deer are medium game and the 6.5 proj is sufficient for a clean kill, if you are hunting elk or moose, that is...

How about the 6.5x55 Swede....... Just as easy to load...shoots flat enough and can get same accuracy (repeatability) from the round... I like to avoid the wild cats but some just cant resist....
