    ? Mid-West Long Range / F-Class ?

    I'm looking to get aquainted with long range shooting and F-Class appears to be a logical place to learn & compete. I live in NW Indiana, have 100 yd range close and 200 meter range an hour away. https://www.bassandbucks.com/ located in Wabash, Indiana (2 hours away) is on my list of places...

    Ruger American in Boyd's Stock with AR Magazine

    Update & Range Report I used lipstick on the action tang to identify any unwanted contact areas; didn't find any but it sure does look purdy. Some beading was scraped from the rear steel bedding lug area to eliminate potential interference Loaded a Ladder test matrix of 4 different H335...

    Ruger American in Boyd's Stock with AR Magazine

    I'll take another look at the action & barrel. During bedding I used an equal amount of tape shims on both sides to try to maintain alignment so I'm fairly close. I am going to sand this morning, verify alignment then shoot mid-day Today: 25 SMK 69 & H335, 25 Hornady 68 & H335 and 25 Hornady...

    Ruger American in Boyd's Stock with AR Magazine

    I'll attach a couple pics and also a range report. I loaded 75 Nosler 52gr Match with H335 then shot 15 groups of 5; MOA was 0.8 to 1.5. I had hoped for better. This bullet is better suited to an AR than my 1:8 barrel because previously, gun shot sub MOA constantly using Hornady 62gr BTHP...

    Ruger American in Boyd's Stock with AR Magazine

    The following morning, some bedding made its way into the pillar holes but I had put release wax on the screws so they came out fine. I'll need to go back to the drill press to chase out the pillars after I let this cure another day or two. The 2 steel V-Blocks appear to be firmly imbedded in...

    Ruger American in Boyd's Stock with AR Magazine

    I have been enjoying my Ruger American Predator 223 with AR Magazine since early this fall. It's a nice shooter. Recently I purchased a Boyd's Thumbhole Stock and have been working on bedding the steel V-Blocks into the lumber. Boyd's included a glass filled polymer AR Magazine well and...

    AR15 equivalent for .308

    What would I do? (considering my state doesn't allow hunting with .223) 6.5 Grendel if deer hunting was my first priority. 6.8 SPC & 7.62x39 should be considered too. 6mmAR (based off of the Grendel) if varmints were my quarry. Why? Because these 2 cartridges are not "too far off of the...
