    How do you hang a wall-hanger?

    I made this to hold my Jap 6.5. Took about 2 hours less the finishing. Wife kinda hated it right over the TV like that.

    How does a chrony help me get best groups?

    Depends on what you're looking to do. I need to chrony my loads to ensure I'm maintaining velocity downrange at 1000 yds. I can shoot a great group (0.3" @ 100yd) with 2400fps, but that translates to below M1 @ 1000 - hence my accuracy goes WAY down that far out.

    Long Range Shooting

    not sure if you're looking to reload or buy factory ammo, but my 308 works great out to 1000yd. i had some issues with a bad bullet choice, but i think that's corrected now and i should be able to hold 1MOA or less. 100yd testing held 0.5MOA with 168s, just not enough there to handle distances...

    Taking 1st Timers to the Range

    I would start with only loading 1 round at a time. That way should the barrel be pointed in an unsafe direction, you know you only gave them 1 and it's spent. I just took a newbie this past Saturday and that's what I did with her until I was comfortable loading up more.

    My Daughter's First Shooting Experience

    my walmart does have guns - i'll definitely check them out today. after talking with the wife last night, it may be a moot point. she's insisting that the firearm fund is too low right now.:(

    My response

    somewhere in there you should quote Luke 22:36 - "...; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

    Remington 700 in a .308

    don't have that model (have the VS - picked up used for $599). had it for 1 month, added a cheap Barska scope and did a little load testing with it - shot 176-2X at 1000yds. i'd say it's worth the $$$. the score was probably only that low because the 168gr wasn't good for 1000, but didn't...

    308 loads w/H4350

    thanks for the replys. my friend is using the 4350 in his 6.5x284 and getting great results - hence the reason he suggested switching. however, after very little checking i'm definitely liking the looks of the Lapua Scenar 155 with Varget. much better BC, lighter bullet too. i think i'll...

    308 loads w/H4350

    does anyone have any experience loading 308win with H4350? i'm currently using sierra 168mk pushed by imr4895(45gr) and getting 2750fps+/-. i'm being told from a friend to switch to sierra 175mk and to use H4350 (we're setting up loads for 1000yd - hoping for a Camp Perry trip next year)...
