They had it coming unless I missed something.

  I've put some much larger V-8's (HP/TQ) with six trans and rear ends. If you are not running slicks, not to worry.  :)

Indeed on the above.   He was talking about box ammo so I did not go there. I have two rifles both in .308 that like an entirely different load because of throat and chamber with hand loads.   Hand loads are really the only way to go. However, if you don't and have to use box ammo, Black Hills is as good as it gets. But it still has an ES of 30 or so.

175's always shot better than 168 SMK's in my .308. Plus if you want to shoot long range out to 1,000 you can, where 168's are a problem.   The 175's should be fine w/ a 1-12 twist. We just got done shooting a 185 in a 1-12 twist LR and it was very stable.

I would try again at a longer range (if possible) and see what results you get.

Got mine about a week ago.

Been there, scary stuff. Spent all day at ER a few years ago because of "Pleruisy". Felt just like a hear attack and scared the crap out of me.

I did this years ago. Mine is NSA. Freaks people out when they come over the 1st time and look for a signal on their I phone.

Quick search:   http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sgt-cu624/overview/year/1995/make/chevrolet/model/k1500   Might want to check w/ tech dept and see if it has trans line fittings.

Nope. I'm usually there on Sunday mornings, however.

You should send her this link so she can watch this one live to make sure it wont get away and harm somebody.  :)   http://www.assaultweaponwatch.com/camera1.html

  Ditto. I've shot plenty of steel core there. They never asked to check it. 

Minus ammo I bought a Winchester from CMP a few years ago for $695. If you could get $1,300, that would be a good price.

Iv'e shot prone many times at the 400 yard range. Not sure if they let you at the 100 yard.

He's actually been a pilot since the 1960's.................

Yes, I have an older model. Love it, I use it suppressed most often.

  Ditto.  :)

If your plan on making 1,000 yard ammo focus on good brass, brass prep and neck tension. Good dies to reduce runout as posted above is also crucial.   Lapua brass is worth the extra coin. You won't need to sort and prep near as much. 

You don't hold over for F class. You dial the elevation. You "hold off" for wind changes. Most people I know do not use mil dot scopes in F class.   There is a tremendous difference between 100, 600 and 1,000 yards in terms of ballistic drop. The programs I use are right on the money as well out past 1,000 yards. If shooting iron sights at longer distance, the additional MOA needed must be considered and factored. It's not just a "few" clicks.   If you shoot service rifle, then you know what you are doing. The OP may not, he may need to consider that factor, that was my point.

The correct terminology is hold over and hold off. You can do both, depending on the situation and how far you are shooting. Also, you cannot just dial up X number of clicks on rear sight for given distance. It's not a linear thing. Short range you can to a point. However, the further you shoot, the bullet goes slower and drops faster the further it goes.    Kentucky windage (holding off) works great even with a scope. Just watch any F class match because that's what they are doing much of the time out to 1,000 yards during a wind change.

Everyone likes something different. Just me, but this is what I like.   When I'm shooting an AR or Garand at less than 200 yards or so, I like a center hold and will adjust sights for that. When shooting my Garand or any other rifle at longer distance, the front post will block the target and I adjust for 6 O clock or pumpkin/lollipop hold.

Something like this?

Bacon is a primary food group.

Nasty again up here on the secondary roads.

90% of the time all I ever use is irons with an AR.
