It's like listening to a rocket scientist, that was also trained as a sniper explian LR shooting. This guy is seems to be extremely intelligent. I am on part 37 of the series and have learned quite a bit of information. I do not plan on going past 1K, but lot of his information can still help...

I would listen to what TopGun says. A couple of years ago, he helped me tremedously with my first DIY public land speed goat hunt in WY. I had never been hunting out west before this trip. His knowledge of the rules, regs and areas out therehelped me and my hunting party get two speed goat...

I am from LaPorte Co. In. I am kind of lucky. A farmer that I hunt for just bought a prison shooting range in an auction and he owns all the fields around it. I can get 660yds when the crops are down and an ajoining filed next to it will give me over 1K. I also have a farm trail that will...

I have a friend that has a Savage 93 in 22 mag with the bull barrel. I was not to impressed with it and I am HUGE Savage fan. My plain jane Marlin 925M wjith 40gr CCi HPs will out shoot it all day long. IMO opinion, Marlin has their poop together with the Rimfires. I bought it primarily as a...

I bought a savage Axis as primary night hunting coyote rig. I am a believer in the sierra 60gr HPs and mid west coyotes. I clipped the trigger spring so it breaks at 3.75lbs (still kind of squishy). I was surprised with the load I use in 60gr HPs, I can hold a 2" group at 400yds. I am in...

I went ahead and took a chance and bought this scope. I have been quite pleased with it so far. Here is a review that I wrote on another forum about it: Well, I finally got my scope on my rifle and had a chance to run it through the paces with about 150rds of ammo. Here it is: I am writing...

I just learned and did this with 308 - 7mm.08. I HIGHLY recommend Imperial Sizing Die wax. The stuff works like a charm. I found out that the resized brass though was juts a hair under minimum trim length. But it will grow once I shoot it. I also asked about going form 308- 260 and I was...

LOL, yes. 1500yds is just a bit outside of my mission parameters for this rig....:D

Ya, in the altitude I would be shooting in, I would be in the 10.5 Mil (I dial Mils) area at just 2600FPS.

I have through much googling gotten the same resposes Brent. I talked to a guy who is a who is an XP/ Stryker pistol guru and he has told me that I need to keep it at at least 2600 to get it to 1K. Albeit, I need to be prepared to dial up alot. and that's fine. I am going ot try it.

I ran it on JBM with a velocity of 2600 and it says at 1000yds at 4300ft ALT, 20% hum, and 85*F it will be traveling at 1314FPS/ Mach 1.149. A also low balled it at 2500FPS under the same conditions and at 1000yds got 1260FPS/ Mach 1.102. Are these speeds still Supersonic? The altitude and...

I am wanting to use this bullet out of my 20" 308 for hunting but not at 1000yds. However, I am wanting to try my hand on steel at 1000yds for fun. Will this bullet be able to reach out that far accurately?

I too was on backorder with the SS 10x mil/mil. I am really wanting to get my 308 put together so I cancelled my order and am now trying to find out some information about the Burris MTAC scopes. Specifically the 3.5-10 x 42 model.

I am building a 308 and was looking at the MTAC in 3.5-10 x 42. I was wondering if anyone has used the MTAC scopes and what there experiences have been with them. Specifically the turrets and if they are repeateble and return to zero. I would also like to know how clear they are.

Well, like I said, this will be used as a hunting rig as much as ringing steel with it. I see myself going after elk once in my life with a rifle and I am going to load up partitions for that. But for Mulies and under, I have really come to like the nosler BTs. I was a sierra man, but their...
