  1. Is 357 maximum as good as I’ve read?

    Hi all, Living in Ohio I can use straight wall cartridges in rifles for deer hunting. I have a 44 mag rifle that I am using now but looking to add to my arsenal. Mike Bellm speaks eloquently on the virtues of the 357 maximum and I am really intrigued by this round. I have a TC contender that I...

  2. Shooting at night ?

    Thank you for all the replies. I got the answer that I wanted, that it isn't only possible it is actually preferred by some. I agree that the lack of wind visibility could be a problem, but I can guarantee on the next dead calm night I will be at my 400 yard line with a couple of strong lights...

  3. Shooting at night ?

    Morning Let's say you have an itch that really needs scratching, but the wind is whippin' all day. You watch the evening weather and the man says the wind will lay down at sunset so you load up your gear to do a little shooting. What kind of lights do you need or is it even possible to shoot...

  4. Makin' my own rest (pics)

    LHSMITH I hear ya on the footprint, the base is 8"w X 9"l hopefully that is stable enough. That was the only stock we had on hand at the shop. butchlambert I too was wondering about the height and I may shorten the upright by about an inch or so before I weld it to the base. Thank you...

  5. Makin' my own rest (pics)

    Hi all, Didn't want to spend $200-$400 on a new rest so I decided to make my own. It may not look as good as a SEB of work as smoothly as a Farley, but it should work great for me. I still need to finish the top plate (gonna attach "wings" on sides to help bag keep it's shape) and...

  6. Protektor front bag question

    Andy, Thanks for the reply, I thought it was over-filled but wanted someone more experienced than I to say so. AK

  7. Protektor front bag question

    Hi all, Just got a protektor #9 front bag prefilled but it doesn't seem to fit stock right. It seems that there is too much sand in it. The middle is humped up and the bottom is swelled down. I am not an experienced benchrest shooter and I could be wrong on this, but I'm tempted to take...

  8. 6br with standard dies

    Thanks for the reassurance.

  9. 6br with standard dies

    Redding Type S FL dies are on the way, as well as a .266 bushing. May need another bushing, but we'll see how that one does with blue box lapua. Thanks for all the comments.

  10. 6br with standard dies

    Not wanting to split hairs, but Midway has Redding type S match 3 die set for $165 and the $75 was for 3 bushings. Aside from that, I got 2 votes for Foresters, but more importantly 2 votes for match grade. I think my mind is made up. Match it is. Thanks for the replies.

  11. 6br with standard dies

    Hi all, About to put together a 6br for general shooting and friendly competition. Not trying to cut corners, but are standard dies "good enough", hoping for 1/2 moa at 100 yards and close to that out to about 500. Using a Stevens 200, shilen barrel, SSS stock, and rifle basix trigger so I...

  12. Making my own front rest with ???'s

    Yep, I'm gonna make my own rest. Just not sure on a few things. 1. Gonna make a basic top, but don't know what size plate to use. Want to use protektor bags. 2. Thread size on main adjustment and leveling feet (1/2, 5/8, 3/4, fine, course) Thanks, AK I will include pics as I go.

  13. Bullseye size?

    Hi All I was wondering what size bullseyes you all are using at different ranges? I have big sheets of cardboard to make targets out of, but I don't know how big to make the bullseye. 600-1000 yards with 20x scope. AK

  14. Which factory action for .338 Lapua?

    TonyR Thank you very much for the post, it came in very helpful. I should've searched for myself, and I really appreciate your help.

  15. Which factory action for .338 Lapua?

    A good shooter knows how to put bullets into little groups, not necessarily how to build them. I understand that the answer MIGHT be found with enough searching, but I was simply looking for a quick answer.

  16. Which factory action for .338 Lapua?

    Uhm...not the answer I was looking for. If I understood the video correctly, he doesn't need such a rifle and wouldn't know how to use it if he had one. Since when did we let need stand in our way, and whose to say he isn't a great shooter. If you don't have an answer to the question, move...

  17. Which factory action for .338 Lapua?

    A friend of mine is jonesin' for a .338 Lapua but is unsure of which action to start with. I've tried to talk him into something smaller but he has his heart set on the Lapua. Has anyone done this on a factory action or it too much to ask? He has a Savage in .300 Win. mag but doesn't know if it...

  18. Berger 6mm 105 Grain Match Hunting VLD Load data?

    Glock, E-mail Berger and Walt will send you load data for your cartridge and which bullet you specify. Very good customer service. AK

  19. Sinclair or Caldwell?

    I am on the market for a front rest, but am not sure if I need a windage top or not. How important is this feature for informal target shooting? I would like to get the Sinclair lightweight model with all-purpose top, and have the option to upgrade to a windage top in the future. How does this...

  20. Do sand-bags stand a chance?

    Being the frugal type, I was wondering if sand-bags made from blue jeans make a descent rest? I know they won't cut it for real life competition, but what about a friendly grudge match? What level of long-range accuracy can be realized with such a set-up? AK
