    Trigger pull ounces or pounds

    Curious what guys are shooting long range and hunting with. I like trigger pull around 8oz some guys like 2.5lb. Why would you run heavy pull? I don’t load my rifle till I’m ready to shoot so a slip Fire is probably not a issue. I always hear the saying “ 2lb in a hunting rifle “. Why not...

    511 Yard Coyote

    We had trouble getting educated dogs to come all the way to our calls in wide open country. It was fun to watch so many different coyotes from a long ways away though. Anyway, this dog was one of 3 on our final stand that wouldn't come any closer. Having just switched scopes on my 22-250 and...

    BERGARA B14- Terminator muzzle brake

    TERMINATOR MUZZLE BRAKES ARE EVERYTHING THEY SAY THEY ARE. Recoil mitigation in long range shooting is an importantant factor to consider so i did my homework. Hearing protection non negotiable

    6mm Creedmoor all range coyote load

    Hey all, I'm usually in the big game hunting conversations on this website, but my year round hobby is coyote hunting. I use a 204 ruger with benchmark, topped with a 39gr blitzking. This is the most fur friendly coyote load I've found, that still has knock down power at 400 yards, out of a 204...

    375 RUM Build

    Does anyone here shoot one? I was originally thinking of doing a CheyTac build but I already have a 700 donor long action in the safe I could use I believe. Or am I wrong and the bolt face won’t work? It’s a 7mm mag action originally. But if the action will work, are any of you here using one...

    Swarovski Z6i 5-30 x 50 BT L - not enough verticle adjustment to zero at 50 yards?

    I just mounted a Swaro Z6i 5-30 BT L scope on my Weatherby Mark V Ultalight 300 WBY MAG. I used the existing Leupold 30MM rings and bases that were used with the previously mounted Steiner 3-12 X 56 Predator Extreme scope. I could use medium rings instead of the high rings that were in place. I...

    Axial Precision stock

    I do not know how many of you have seen this. I will be doing a review on LRO in the near future. I can already tell this is one of the straightest tracking stocks I have ever shot behind. Check them out.

    A tale of two rifles

    First time posting, long time lurking. Glad to have a forum like this where like minded persons can learn and share! A few years ago I trued and chambered a short action remington with a #9 krieger 1:11 in 308 winchester bedded in a McMillan stock. It's been a lot of fun out to 800 yards...

    Hello all, First post on here so if there are any rules I end up crossing please let me know, I’ll get it fixed ASAP. I also tried searching the threads, but couldn’t quite find what I was looking for as most questions weren’t related to suppressor use. Question: What barrel length for 300...

    338 270gr ELD-X

    I’ve wanted to start a dedicated thread for anybody with experience shooting the 338 270gr ELD-X. It does not seem that many people shoot this bullet. Maybe we can dig up some field results. What cartridge, powder, seating depth, muzzle velocity, etc, are your shooting? How accurately are...

    Bullet seating deeper under recoil

    I have a 338 Norma Mag running AI, CIP length mags. Under recoil, with a brake the bullets are seating deeper into the case and mushrooming the tips. I have tried 2k and 4k neck tension with no luck. I’ve tried stretching the magazine spring, also with no luck. Does anyone have any experience...
