I aint hit nothing past 500 yds. I took a 55 gallon drum at 900 yds where the deer come out and drew a circle bout like a pumpkin and had someone by it checking after each shot I shot and hit over two foot to the right and low and moved it the next shot hit the side of barrel moved some more the...

I have a dump truck tail gate at a grand the best I have is about a 9 inch group thats 3 shots. Its a 9.3 twist.

Its a 26 inch fluted shilen with a mcmillian stock stiller action and timney trigger. I thought I had it figured out but I only could make the deer dance a little this evening at 875 yds.

I have only shot this gun at 100, 300, and a 1000 yds and today I went by my clicks I got off the calculator from this website, no joke I hit in a 5 inch circle out to 600 yds and made it a liitle bigger at seven and a little bigger each time out to a 1000 and sure enough hit in the circle...

88 gr of R 25 was a 8 inch group the 79.2 of R 22 looked like a shotgun pattern I went back to 81 gr of N 165 to see if the rings were loose or something but it was a little less than an inch 3 shots the others I shot 5 x all shot at 300 yds. I am going to try the others after deer season. How...

My buddy hit me up on buying his 6.5 x 284 savage he has the biggest s 111 series sytron scope on it, redding dies, powder, bullets, and a cleaning jag. He has shot it 10 times and has cleaned the hound out of it each shot. Whats it worth?

Anybody lives around east TN or headed thru here on your christmas drive I live right off I 75 and have table set up with targets all the way from 100 yds to 1000 yds holler at me I want to see some of these guns shoot. Got places we can shoot out to a mile just not off table.

I have the smaller exspander ball in my die and its not forming the mouth of the dented pieces of brass back like they should be. I wonder if that is messing with my groups? How many shots can you get out of the brass? I was really hoping the 100 I bought for 3 dollars a piece was going to last...

I got an arm and a leg in this gun and not happy with the performance yet. And whenever I extract the brass after shooting it dents the mouth of the brass. I told the man that built the gun and he said he built a 308 that did that once and he gave me no answer why anybody no why? Its not as bad...

Cold bore is always high with me say like at 100 yds it would be half inch from the group. Should I run a brush thru every 5 shots or just patches with solvent? Or both?

All right fellers I got my brass prepped up, and I think I have all the powders at my table except retumbo. I going to use 300 sierras seated at 3.7925. I am going to try each load mentioned here 5 shots at 200 yds and see what happens. Should I clean bore after every 5 shots? I thought it took...

How much powder?

What about your powder Ken?

I have not tried any other bullet, when I got the scenars I was going to get the berger hybrids also but they only had them in the 250 count. Are the sierras just a target bullet? Any suggestions? The best I have done at a grand is a minute thats only three shots I was hoping to do better or is...
