Ok! I'll go get a set of sandbags and I'll get more ammo to compare
Not much clearance, and that stock is really soft I know. It appears to not be making contact at rest but I wonder if when I'm braced and using the bipod it doesnt flex and make contact. I'll try to get a pic
Rifle is a savage edge 308 pencil barrel with a trigger kit, EGW rail, warne rings, burris fullfield 2 3-9 bdc.
Bipod is a harris
I just assumed it was me, do you think something might be up with the gun setup?
Here is another small sample group of 150 corelokt tipped at 100 the top shot was my first and I broke the shot high by accident. The next 2 are more like I have been seeing from the gun. I ran out of them before I could shoot a 10 shot group so I'll have to get more to post.
This is slightly...
Hey boys, I need a little help thinking through this. Im working on shooting more and different rounds to see what my gun prefers.
It appears that my gun prefers 150 grain core lokt tipped just barely over 168 amaxes.
Luckily for me, they are both Available here, although surprisingly the 150...
They had 6 boxes on the shelf at our local l and m fleet. I grabbed all 6 in hopes they would fit the bill. In googling I think I got a great deal but my supply may be out
Thank you! I appreciate the real world experience. Sounds like an effective bullet given appropriate shot selection, but not as much terminal performance as some of the favorites in the thread. Since they're 16$ a box here, I may try them on game to add to the data around here.
I honestly...
That could be it. My buddy brought his Garmen and the 75 bthp out of my 223 was right above 2700 but not the 2790 on the box.
I'm good with it, since I'm not nearly good enough to run out of velocity before I run out of skills.
I see the box posted as super slow, but when I went to Hornadys website it was box posted with a 10 or 11inch barrel. I did some digging on the googles and saw faster velocities from 16 inch gas guns, and even faster from 20 inch gas guns. My 22 incher seems to shoot them really close the to the...
Boys i tried the search function but I need help
Anybody used the hornady black 75 grain interlock (not BTHP) 5.56
I grabbed 3 boxes locally and it shoots lights out of my gun. Every bit as consistent as the 75 grain bthp blacl box, but curious as to performance. It is techincally the SBR...
Selling my Vanguard. Never taken it out of the truck on a hunt so I figure id let someone else enjoy it. No scratches on the glass or anything. One small smudge on top of the body of the optic from unknown origin.
I've only used it in the yard looking at bucks in the field, and checking...
I want one
The 16 inch barrel would be amazing for deer hunting from a saddle, box blind, carrying, looking at, playing with whatever
I just need to tell my wife its for the baby
And the baby needs a surpressor for uh safety?
Do you happen to have any speed data by chance? Strongly considering a 16 incher for handy use as a deer stand gun for short ish range use but trying to determine real world velocity from something like 147eldm
My dad does. He's been doing it a long time and he does cook me up stuff from time to time. I'm certain I will at some point, but not there just yet. I'm naturally a tinkerer so it's bound to get me.
My wife just laughs
Thanks man. Some day I'll have myself, my skills and my set up dialed and then given the need and desire to, I won't have to wonder if I can shoot as far as the cartridge is capable. Until then, I'll leave the big rifles for the guys who need em, and I'll keep practicing.
Edit: I didn't check dates. Sorry to resurrect an oldie
I'm in that group, but thats why I have a 223 and a truckload of ammo to run through. I have learned I am not as good as I want to be, and I will work until I am.
Also, the days of me thinking I needed a big magnum to shoot to 750 or...
