    That’s shot seated with only a backpack for a rest.

    I love my Jard trigger. Zero slop. Clean break.

    Howa mini actions?

    Just finished a 500 yard cold bore match with my Howa mini in 6.5 Grendel. Hadn’t shot it in a year, but finished not so bad. Hole is circled. Target is 5 inch diameter. Agree, replace the bottom plastic metal with real metal to created some rigidity in bedding area. I also replaced stock...

    300 BO, 6.5 G, or 6 ARC?

    I shoot a couple of strange calibers in my rifles, so early on, I was REAL concerned about brass. But you know what? Years later I’m still working with the original hundred rounds of brass. Really. Pick ‘em up and re-stuff your brass. Given that rounds fired from a “brass chucker “ in the field...

    What Caliber for 600yd Whitetail? (New rifle Build)

    IMO, anyone shooting deer at 600+ is simply demonstrating that he doesn’t know how to hunt.

    Howa mini actions?

    I love my Howa mini in 6,5 Grendel. I have it in a laminated stock and also an Onyx chassis depending on whether I’m hunting or target shooting. I replaced the trigger with a Jard, which is pretty amazing. And on the laminated wood stock, I replaced the cheap plastic bottom “metal” with real...

    Suppressor owners question

    True. I see that now. My QD adapters are on several barrels and that particular can transfers with no perceived change in POI with each rifle once zeroed with can. Can’t say as to direct thread cans. I presume it all has to do with the symmetry of weight distribution of the can as it affects...

    Suppressor owners question

    My experience: yes, the can shifts POI on every gun. However once you learn how much better you and your rifle shoot with a can, shooting the same gun without is just dumb. So, around here, the can goes on and stays on.

    Short barrel 6.5 prc

    Gotta ask why the f*#k anyone would want to corrupt a fine long range cartridge by chopping the barrel. My PRC is choice for >700 yard competition

    .450 bushmaster scope recommendations

    I put a 3-9x on mine. Easy peasy. Dynamite at bowling pin 60 yard matches. Wouldn’t try a shot beyond 150. Great tree stand short range gun.

    Questions for the Chassis Gang

    I have there chassis rifles now. They’re for competition. When hunting season rolls around, one of those actions will go back into its custom laminated wood stock. There is nothing colder and less appealing that an aluminum chassis on a cold morning sit in a stand. Give me a nice wood stock any...

    Primer crush…does it matter?

    It’s been too many years since I worked research stats, but I wonder if your N was big enough to support the test procedure. Maybe should be using small number statistics?

    How much did you spend on equipment (not supplies) to reload?

    I started with a Lee loader and 300 rounds of .38 special brass which I reloaded on Friday night and shot on Saturday EVERY WEEK. Pretty soon, I got pretty good with that revolver. 50 years later, I still like Lee precision presses and dies. For precision rifle match ammunition I use more...

    Criterion barrels

    I have a criterion barrel (270 Win) on a 1917 Enfield. Shoots better than 1 MOA at 600 yards off bags in match competition. Obviously I’m a fan.
