Mr. Smith beat me with a good reply! If you are really set on shooting long range, don't discount the .223. Both the Army and Marine Corps Team shooters do very well with AR15s at 1000. Shooting the .223, with a custom setup, is a lot more economical than shooting a .308, with no real...

There is no doubt, all things being equal, that a shorter barrel of equal diameter is stiffer, but that has little or nothing to do with accuracy at extreme ranges. Palma shooters who shoot at 800, 900 and 1000 yards are required to shoot .308, and if it is a match operated under...

600-1000 If my feeble mind serves me correctly, I believe we have conversed on this topic before. You are lucky to live in Lake Jackson, as Greenwood Gun Club is right there, with a 600 yard range. They are having a 60 shot 600 yard prone match tomorrow, Saturday, Feb. 26, 2009. You...

I just got issued a gray 05 Crown Vic police interceptor. It has several antennaes for the local city and county police bands, as well as almost black tint, (I work for a law enforcement agency). It is comical to watch people come flying up in your rear view mirror and slam on the brakes when...

I would respectfully disagree with the gentleman about cartridge design not having an effect on accuracy. 50 years of use and development in benchrest competition has shown that a few cartridge design parameters are conducive to accuracy. The development of the 6 PPC, and it's dominance in...

I'm sure everybody has their own pet method, here's mine! I usually start with new brass, so I don't have to contend with differences from combustion residue from the powder or primer. If your brass is really clean from tumbling for a decent amount of time, you should be OK for any purpose...

I'm a competitive shooter, shooting NRA and CMP High Power. I've shot an AR in 223 for the last 10 years. On the average, I go through 2 barrels a year, and my wife burns another one up. I've used Kreiger, Shilen, Douglas, WIlson and PacNor barrels primarily. On the average, I get around...

Stripped Set Screws Here is a post from a forum on M14s on removing frozen flash hider castle nut set screws from M14/M1A rifle by the well known riflesmith Gus Fischer. Some of it may help you! Good Luck! Flash Suppressor Lock Nut Screws...
