accuracy

I'm considering the purchase of a Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range (basic model) in 6.5 Creedmoor. Cabela's will have it for $900 on Wednesday. Specifically, I'm looking for real-life experience feedback on the rifle. Is it truly a sub-MOA rifle with multiple factory ammo rounds? What have...

Cross posted at a couple forums. I'm trying to change the discussion on this topic to be more reasonable than the standard methods that I see at the range and on forums at the moment. Accuracy evaluation through testing with 5-shot groups is dubious at best. I attempt to start to address that...

After resisting the temptation to buy a Glock for more than 30 years, I caved in and bought a G19 3rd gen a month or so ago. Believe it or not the impetus was not the pistol, rather I was intrigued by the NCStart VISM folding red Dot. And since Glock is one of the few guns that has slides...

Tonight I went to range and decided to rent a few pistols I haven't tried out yet. I recently bought my first 9mm (SW Shield) but wanted to try out some full size pistols. I recently had tried Glock 19 which I found to group decent and be a decent shooter even with the stock sights. So tonight I...

Okay, I’ve been playing around with 16” rifles too much, and if you saw my previous post I’m looking to buy a 20-24” barrel for my next build to achieve superb accuracy out to maybe 5-600 yards, and use it as an occasional varmint gun as well. I’ve NEVER owned a rifle with a scope, so I’m aware...

If you were getting a 58 caliber for shooting, knowing that the Zouave has a 1:48 twist barrel (Zoli) and generally well made, OR a Parker-Hale 2 band Enfield 1858.... which actually has the edge for accuracy? I have seen both but the PH seems to have their sights quite a bit forward, which...

What kind of accuracy gains do you normally see when switching from run of the mill ammo to factory match grade? I recently built an AR-15, and up until this point I've mostly been shooting mixed ammo (.223/5.56 of different weights) at 25 yards to test reliability. For the first time I settled...

I have a really odd issue that I have found. I have a Remington 700 VTR in a .308. I have had accuracy troubles in any load, hand or factory, that is not using CFE .223 is there any reason for this? Can a rifle prefer a specific powder? Or is this all coincidence? All opinions welcome, thanks...

Hey everyone, I've got a Winchester model 100 in .243 that I'm cleaning, and I looked down the barrel and there appeared to be a dark ring near the rear sight. I would take a picture but you know it's impossible to photograph the inside of a barrel. Could there be a... ring... in the barrel? Or...

Here at The High Road, around the internet and forums you will find countless way to measure rifle case volume. There are YouTube videos and write ups on this subject. Some use water, some use powder, some measure case weight, and spend a lot of time sorting brass with the hope of improving...

I have a 9mm Storm Lake barrel that requires me to load JHPs very short in order to keep them off the landes when chambered. I have sent them to a gunsmith to have it throated so I can load longer cartridges. I included a dummy load so that he could cut the landes just enough to give me about...

I've been handloading for a variety of rifles over the last two years and am becoming more and more interesting in learning about taking things to the next level for my bolt guns in particular. My most accurate rifle is a Remington 700 in .308 WIN with a Bartlein 24" 5R M24 contour barrel, etc...

I just wrote an article about diagnosing problems in handgun shooting, aimed (ha!) at folks who either carry concealed or are preparing to do so. You can read it here: http://www.usacarry.com/diagnosing-shooting-problems/ I'm only one person, with limited experience and a single point of view...

Heya gentlemen! I wanted to upload some footage from the first range trip with my recently acquired 1944 K31 Swiss. I scoured YouTube looking for good videos on accuracy and there were some amazing long-distance open-sight shots out at 1000+ yards, however, trying to get a feel for what the...

Recently I have been saving all my cash and been looking to buy a new rifle, as any good American should. I hope it isn't too ignorant to ask, but what is your general experience/preferences in factory rifles, if any. Lately I've really been reading into Savage, and I am hard-pressed to find...

Chances are, if your like me you need all the help hitting that bulls-eye. In the past there has been many forms of helping you to stabilize that shot for accuracy. Let’s make it simple and easy to do so. What a difference a n adjustable front shooting rest can make. There are several different...

I'm mulling over getting some rifled chamber or sub-caliber adapters mostly for shotguns, but maybe for rifles as well. I'd like to know for the shotgun adapters if the rifled adapters are that much more accurate than the smoothbore adapters and if they are, does the 8 inch long adapter...

I am not trying to start a never ending internet war here, merely trying to ascertain the inherent qualities of each platform. If you had an AK and an AR with the same: Barrel (length, quality, manufacturer, profile) Chamber (for example, if both rifles were chambered in 5.56 NATO) Trigger...

During your time as owners, did you notice if lead .45 bullets were grouping better and were more accurate than fmj .45 bullets?

Every time I shoot at paper, the first two shots print a wonderful, probably better than me pair. The only problem is that it's consistently almost two inches to the right of point of aim. The next shots go back where they should be, two inches above point of aim( as it is sighted in to do). All...
