  1. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hello, I am getting into long range target shooting and rarely deer hunting. I can not decide whether to buy a 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, or .308. I am looking for something that can give me a good ballistic coefficient, barrel life, accuracy both at 200 and 1000 yards, twist rate, and enough power...

  3. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    Hi Everyone, So to get started I am looking for a caliber choice for primarily (90% of the time) target shooting, both steel and paper. I am not really looking for a hunting round for game so the versatility oh a round to take game would not be a deciding factor for me, I have another caliber...

    Is there a direct relation between ballistic coefficient and accuracy at long ranges?
  7. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    I'm working up a 155 grain AMAX load for my 30/06. I found the powder and grains of it that give the least velocity variation and get around 0.8-1.0 inch groups at 100 yards. Wanting better performance for some 500 yard shooting, I'm trying to figure out how to best vary the cartridge overall...
  8. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    I am currently looking for a new target rifle. I will be shooting at distances up to 700 yards.(longest range in the area). I am not new to shooting but my experience is with closer range. Is the 308 the way to go or is there a smarter option? Cost is a factor but not a driving force.

Temperatures were above 80F and at low altitudes. The rifle was zeroed at 218 yards and much to my surprise...
