    Steel targets for LR What size?

    Shane, You didn't say how your are going to be shooting, bench, prone, etc. In 1000 yds benchrest we sight in in 4.5" clays on a sand bank. For field shooting, I would think 1 MOA max would be good. Mark Schronce

    How do u test for an accurate load?

    MId west, I like to clean between powders during load work. As far as waiting between shot. The group needs to be fired in the same wind conditions, from first shot to the last. Before I started shoot benchrest, and see guys shooting over wind flags. I don't know how a slight breese could...

    Best or easiest

    KurtPiet, You can just get you bullet BC, speed , zero, scope height, and run all that on a ballistic calculators, and you will be close. Then you would need the check on as many yardages as you can. These true zero can be added back in the calculator and make corrections. Mark Schronce

    Where to start?????

    BirdsandBucks, If you are looking for a new gun, look at the Savage. A 6BR or 243 would be the picks. If you don't reload the 243 would be the way to go. If your are wanting to get into long range, you will need to get into it soon. The better long range bullets are hard to find in factory...

    35 grain 22-250 versus the 204 ruger

    Mark2, The extra powder and speed will wear the barrel faster. I like the 55gr in my 22-250. The lighter bullets slow down very fast. If you are shooting any distance you would the 55gr. For chucks you want the extra punch the heavier bullets pack. If you want a little more speed go to the...

    Maximum Distance for .223 or a .22-250

    buzz10, I have done the 22 cals for Groundhog in VA, but when I went to the 243, I could not beleave the increase in killing power, just to a 70 gr bullet. I like the 87 Vmax for long range work in a 6mm with a 10 tw or faster. I mainly use a 6BR 12tw with 70gr Sierria Blitzking for work out...

    Caliber & Bullet...really 2 posts in 1 lol

    Greywolf18, I am going to take you in another direction. I have had 2 6mmAI they do great, but barrels don't last long. I have gone to the 6BR and 6BRX ( 6BR IMP). I can run a 70 gr bullet at 3500f/s in the Br and 3700 f/s in the 6BRX. Barrel life is great. And you can't touch accuracy with...

    Is it a good place to start

    NISTECH95, A good gun to start with is the Savage M12 F-class in 6BR 8tw barrel. I have many shoot 2.00" groups at 600 yds Benchrest, this gun. This gun would be a great starter. Mark Schronce
