    Suggestions on my group (Whats going on ?)

    It is just the cheap plastic stock. I asked a friend who builds guns about getting a B&C medalist for the winchester. He said it was a waste of money ? So should I buy a new stock, or just have the gun bedded ? I just want a nice shooting gun out to 700 or 800. Am I being unpractical ? I...

    Suggestions on my group (Whats going on ?)

    Hello, I am shooting a Winchester ultimate shadow 270. Load- 130 Berger VLD H4831. My question is I have gotten several groups that are 1/2" @100 I moved to 200 yds, and have had to adjust seating depth, moving .040 per step. I have found two seating depths that are good. The question is...

    243 for the wife ?

    I guess that is a mixed question and there are many opinions. I have only shot about 700 rds thru my build. My dad has a pre 64 that he bought in the early 70's and has shot it a lot ! It still shoots 1/2" groups.

    243 for the wife ?

    Caliber of choice for some 1000 yard tactical shooters. Pretty easy to get a 105 or better yet 115 VLD to that range. I have shot mine to 800 with ease, just haven't had a chance to get to 1k. Great caliber, and very mild recoil.

    Help with my 270

    Good morning, I have a question for the long range experts. What would be the best bullet to shoot out to 800 to 1000 yards. I have just purchased a Winchester model 70 ultimate shadow 1-10 twist. Thanks

    Any thoughts on Groups from a 243.

    I will put the new vortex on today. gohring3006- I think your on to something with the stock, the only thing I can think of is it is still shooting decent groups at 100 yards (last group yesterday was .529), not as good as it was, but not too bad for a factory barrel. Shot at 200 again and the...

    Any thoughts on Groups from a 243.

    The gun had a model 600 action, and a new factory 24" barrel that I have put 150 rounds thru it. The scope is a Nikon monarch 6-18x44 with parallex side focus that I move to the according distance. The twist rate is plenty as I have proved the gun out to 600 yards. Like I said in my original...

    Please help me out on that one, Not sure what you mean.( Parallax) That is a good question :rolleyes:. That is the first thing I asked myself. I got the action bedded because the stock had a very sloppy fit, and the barrel would not free float. The action is a model 600 and I had to buy a...

    Hello, I have a 243 that shoots .518 (5 shot group) at 100 yards, then I go to 200 yards and the groups go to 4 inches ? A little back ground on the rifle. 243, 24" barrel, reloader 22 powder, 95 grain berger vld. I was getting 3.5" to 4" groups at 500 yards before I had the action bedded...

    max effective range for 7mm-08

    Must be the gun. I use 42 grains of varget, any more than that and my accuracy goes away. I'm happy with the load anyways, and have the gun figured out to 600 yards. A little more speed might be a nice addition, but it's so hard to find powder, I'll stick with varget.

    max effective range for 7mm-08

    22" A lot of the books, and other forums are saying they are getting that velocity with a 24" tube.
