out of curiousity what velocity do you achieve with the 300SMK?

i've been trying to order a 338 rum for about a year now and at every turn i keep getting "back ordered" so i'm considering a 338 win in a savage weather warrior, i had a ruger m77 (the older model with the thumb safety on the wrist. sold it miss it) but never considered a 338win a "long range"...

i had one on my 300 RUM. loved it like everyone said about it is true they are heavy but stable and quite adjustable, i particularly liked the sloped front end, and sliding swivel, made elevation adjustments a breeze, as well as the rear mono-pod, once i was close on target in scope the rear pod...

that's my next plan, oh Nomadpilot thanks for the link it was exactly what i was looking for! really looking forward to dropping some long range prairie hounds this weekend

wow a whole 0.02 " at 100 yds different, all i want is to drop a 168gr pill into the vitals of a song dog further away than i care to walk without reason, what does that equal? 2" at 1000 yards? every forum i've been on it all ends up the same, "no its 3.58345092 mm @100,00cm or 1.765 turns less...

i need some help with setting up my mil-dot equipped scope, i know how to use mils in ranging and and currently have it zeroed for 100 yards and know the yardage indicated by the mil-dots but i want to raise the poi from 0 @100 yards to 3.5 inches giving me a PBR zero (target size is 8") of 260...

just picked up a new issue of "rifle" and noticed an advertisment for the burris "elimanator" laser range finding scope that automatically calculates then displays hold over. i mentioned this to my bro and he said "well that takes all the fun/ guess work out of it!" to which i replied "hell ya...

i own a remtington 700p in 308 win and with my handloads is a veritable tack driver, but i've found it heavy and awkward to get into hides and well as carry over rough terrain, i've already spoken to a gunsmith about shortening the bbl to 19" from 24" but have also considered "modifying" the...

i started a thread in another forum about shortening the bbl on my rem 700p 308win from 24 to 19 inches and one reply stated i will have to change powders to retain my velocity (or at least lessen the loss) my question is what powder should i go with? currently i use IMR 4895 (load with held)...

i own a remington 700p in 308win, it has the 24" bbl, but i find it ungainly and awkward to handle in the field, i've spoken to a gunsmith about cutting it back to 19" i think that would make it easier to get in and out of my truck and into hides, i realize i'll lose velocity (have heard...

thats very informative i recently purchased a 338 rum and would like to try 300gr sierra matchkings but having trouble finding load data, does anyone have any suggestions as to starting and max loads?

lol thats great! i had a magpie land on my barrel, and look at itself in the reflextion of my objective lens, nothing cooler then when you really feel like a part of the enviroment, wait til the fist song dog walks right up to you sits down and tilts its head trying to figure out "what the heck...
