I made 30 rounds with what looks like will be my 'standard' 260 rem load: Lapua Brass, CCI BR-2 primer, 42.8gr Hodgdon H-4350, Sierra MatchKing 142 @ 2.840" COL. I had remounted my scope, releveled the reticle and added a Vortex Scope Cant bubble level this week so I needed to rezero the...

On Saturday I performed H-4350 powder load tests with the SMK 142s and 42.8gr 'won'. 42.4, 42.6, 42.8, and 43.0 were all very good, but 42.8gr node group was the best. I fubared the planned COL test on Saturday (turret 'issues'). On Sunday I performed a COL test with the SMK142s at 300...

Both 5X zooms? I was saying that higher zoom factor with equally HIGH optical quality = $$$$$.

What tulku said, X2. With lenses (camera, scope) the price for HIGH QUALITY zoom glass goes up at a very rapid rate as the zoom factor increases.

I just started handloading in January and I do not have a chronograph, yet. It is at the very top of my 'list' and I will be buying one within a couple of weeks. I have been using Lapua Rem 260 brass that originally came with the 20 boxes of Corbon ammo (139 Scenar) I bought from CTD for...

I performed another Berger VLD 140 COL test this morning. Unfortunately there were several other shooters at the rifle range and they were bouncing the benches pretty good so I had several called 'flyers'. Because of these bouncing bench flyers I would call this COL test null and void, but I do...

Is this action/rifle still available?

Do you have a 'smart' phone? If so download/use the "Strelok" ballistic app. I have Strelok (free) and Shooter ($10) apps and I currently prefer Strelok. Some people prefer Shooter.

I bought the rifle to shoot with the local long range shooting club. It's been great for learning and practicing (all prone) but I have subsequently discovered that for their field matches they always have a number of non prone shots and this rifle seems very unbalanced (barrel heavy) for...

These groups were shot at 200 meters. Our normal rifle range seems a little strange in that they have 100 yd targets, 200 meter targets, and 300 meter targets. And then we have the 'long range' range where we shoot 500-1100 yds. I will perform another test with a 5 shot 2.930" group, and 5...

I ordered 100 packs of a variety of likely candidates (Barnes MatchBurner 140s, Hornady A-MAX 140s, Sierra MK 140s and 142s, and Berger VLD 130 and 140s). I have done powder load tests with Barnes MatchBurner 140s, Hornady A-MAX 140s, and Sierra MK 142s. They all ended up 'liking' 43.0gr of...

I am a newbie at handloading and I need some experienced opinions on how to interpret a COL test. I just started handloading at the beginning of this year so I have A LOT to learn! As a bunus I just started shooting a rifle in November last year so I have a lot to learn there as well. I...

If you were in central florida, then I could help you out. I shoot with a long range group that goes out to 1000+ yds. I have no idea what's available in south florida for long range practicing.

The story of my (ongoing) education pursuing long range shooting with a Savage LRP 260..... I just started shooting a rifle last fall with the intention of learning 'how' to shoot long range. I ordered a Savage LRP 260 in October and started shooting it at the 100yd/200m/300m range in...
