    new to reloading M1a school me

    Those are two of the several 'cookbook' loads for the M14/M1A rifle. Another favorite of mine is: 39.5gr. of IMR-3031 FED 210M primer, *seated below flush* Lake City case, trimmed to 2.005" COAL Nosler or a Sierra 168 HPBT seated at 2.800" In My NM M1A, that load has fired a standard deviation...

    Shot a 38-55 Saturday at a silhouette match

    When loaded with black powder, and using a cast bullet, silhouette rifles are (necessarily) some of the mildest recoiling rifles out there. Though I don't own any, many of my range buddies shoot everything from 32-40, to 45-70 using various 300 to 500 gr. cast bullets. It's amazing to watch...

    Loading 308

    I'd make a recommendation here, if you're going to load for a bolt gun: Use a Lee Collet Die after you have fired the cases in that rifle one time. Using the Lee Collet die for neck sizing, negates the need for case lube & tumbling the case lube off the 2nd time around. I use them for all of my...

    260 Remington short barrel

    I was going to suggest this, along with H4831SC. You might not get all the way there, but you'll get close in a 20" barrel.

    .22 Ammo Flyers

    Pay attention! Seriously - I've thrown just as many shots from lack of or lost focus, as I have a bad wind call, trigger hitch, or sight mis-alignment. Becoming a better shooter requires brutal honesty with ones' self - particularly in the area of shot calling. Did you jump on the trigger? Let...

    Electronic targets on public range

    @taliv : It looks like the E-target you used was the Shotmarker brand engineered by Adam McDonald of Autotrickler fame. While they are a full two steps above the target camera systems that have come on as of late, they are considered an entry level E-target priced at around $850 USD. Their...

    RWS Target Rifle .22LR 40gr LRN

    I've found that wiping older match ammo with a patch moistened (not soaked) with (Original) Hoppe's will re-soften old dried lube. Do it the night before a match, and in the morning it's good to go.

    What stock or chassis for Savage?

    rib? Or do you mean the rear sight base (which is spanning the loading port). It began life as a blind magazine 22-250. I used a Shilen Select Match barrel, from Northland Shooting Supply and one of their barrel nuts to rebarrel it to a .260 Remington. I replaced the factory trigger with a...

    RWS Target Rifle .22LR 40gr LRN

    Nailed it. It's comparable to SK Standard Plus; and what I use for smallbore metric prone practice. It occasionally holds its own @ 100 yards. One area where it excels over SK is that it doesn't usually feature the classic SK 'dropped shot'. It groups slightly larger than I feel comfortable...

    What stock or chassis for Savage?

    I have an older staggerfeed M12 that began life as a BVSS blind magazine repeater. With some help from Craig @ PDC Custom, I was able to finally turn it into an ISSF 300M standard rifle: IMG_0040 by dc.fireman posted Oct 5, 2019 at 8:45 PM IMG_0038 by dc.fireman posted Oct 5, 2019 at 8:45 PM...

    Yep. Another annoying MOA question

    lol. I prefer to let it ruminate for awhile, so as not to take the joy of discovery away from someone. My apologies, for resurrecting a dying thread, but I had to lol at your comment anyhow...

    Yep. Another annoying MOA question

    Very basic, but very accurate.

    Left hand rifle/right handed

    Sort of - I shoot Precision Air Rifle - 60 shots, standing @ 10M. I use an Anschutz 8002 S2. I am right-handed, left eye dominant, which is to say that I'm extremely right-handed, but I use a blinder on my sight so that I see only 'one' front aperture. I also have my rifle set up, so that I...
