If you are only going to read one, his Applied Ballistics for Long-range shooting is definitely worth the read. I am a book nerd so I read all of them :) Excited for the new one - anyone got the link? It wasn't on his page when I checked. What's it about??

I bought rifles from them and they showed up at the FFL pretty quick. Legit place and has some great sales sometimes!

I have a Wilson Combat AR-15, 1:8 twist, 20 inch barrel and the load I found worked best was 23.5 gr Varget, 60 gr Hornady V-max, velocity ~2677 fps.

Awesome thanks for the info. I loaded up another rounds of 19.0 and 19.4 for the V-max to run and a first ladder of the Barnes, will let you know how they do! I run a 16in R700 bolt. My 7.5 in SBR loves anything but I am only shooting for accuracy to 50 yards because it's my varmint killer...

MV was 2743 +/- 9.0. no idea of the retained velocity but I feel like I would be able to catch it in a baseball glove!! it hit hard enough to make the steel ring! :)

How much H110 are you using for the 110 gr? I am ranging from 19.0 to 19.4 and have a lot of spread. What 110gr you using? I am trying the Hornady V-max and just loaded some Barnes TSX to try.

R700, 20 inch barrel, 168gr SMK in mixed Federal brass, CCI large rifle primers, 44.2gr Varget powder, hit 1140 yards. R700, 24 inch barrel, 168gr SMK in mixed Federal brass, CCI large rifle primers, 44.8gr Varget, hit 1140 yards with a 46.1 MOA hold up and 2 MOA hold left

I bought the silhouette from shootsteel.com and put them in a 5 gallon home depot bucket with concrete. I roll it to different distances and when I gotta move it off the range just roll to the tailgate and lift. Shootsteel.com system to attach to the top of a 2x4 is awesome and worth the $$...

You can sell it to me, I will scope it out, get a can on it and shoot the sh** out of it and give a full report!! Alternatively, where can I find one of these?!?

I load the 168gr SMK with 44.8 gr of Varget in federal brass to simulate the FGMM but hotter and was hitting 1140 yards with a remington 700, 24 inch barrel, 1 in 11.25 twist. That gun does not want to stabilize the 178gr no matter how I load it.

The only nickel cases I had an issue with were Sig Sauer 300 BLK - my dies did not like them at all. All other nickel cases I have had in .223, 300 BLK and .308 worked without issue!

Lemi-shine, few drops dish soap and water, dry in front of fan. Franklin arsenal rotary tumbler. So nice to not deal with media and brass comes out new. I do clean primer pockets on prep center before washing.

I use the Lyman universal case trimmer, it's bolted to my reloading table next to my press and for large quantities of ammo (plinking 556, etc), I bought the adapter to connect the power drill to it. I have had better luck with this one in terms of consistency and ease than the Hornady and...

RCBS prep center for rifle - deburr and clean primer pocket after depriming, trimming, before throwing in the tumbler to clean. I don't clean primer pockets for pistol.
