Yes, I also have found significant differences in fps with different primers and often not in the direction expected. In the AR15 it is well known that WSR are thin, pierce, and blow out much easier. On top of that In my AR therun hotter than the CCI primers.

The Anschutz is great. Everything German says about the Anschutz is correct. On top of that, unless you are an incredibly talented shooter, you will never outshoot that rifle. I use a 1913 for 4 position shooting in the winter. It lets me know right away when I make the tiniest mistake. In...

Mike: Yes I do plan to shoot. The neck is finally coming around. I'm shooting position smalbore now without any problem. I haven't tried shooting any centerfire since last June as it hurt too much. I'm pretty confident that by Spring I'll be good to go with the centerfire. Jim

NRA rules state eye protection is recommended. Many Ranges have their own rules that require eye protection.

As others have said the CCI primers are harder to ignite. I once had a similar problem. In my case the culprit was too much lube on the firing pin spring. In cold temperatures it slowed the firing pin down too much to set off the CCI primers. Federal primers worked fine. Cleaning the firing...

I have an LV rifle I bought as a 6PPC. I bought a second barrel in 30BR which I use for VFS. It does kick more and must be handled different than a 6PPC but I don't feel that is a real handicap. (I can not shoot the 30BR free recoil and don't believe many others do either). As mentioned by...

Unless you are shooting benchrest score I think you'd be better off with a noncoaxial rest. The Hart, Sinclair, etc rests will work fine for F Class shooting which I believe from your other posts is what you are mostly planning to shoot. Since the point of aim is essentially the same for every...

H4350 best for me. My experience with the 260 has also shown H4350 to be my best powder. Re19 and N160 worked OK but not nearly as well as the H4350. Standard loads as listed in the Hodgdon manual with the Sierra 142 SMK shoot very well.

Phil: If you want to start in Fclass without spending a lot of money I would suggest Buying an upper from White Oak Precision. You can use the lower you already have. John Holliger can make you an upper to use on it with a scope for well under $1000. If you want to go with an "off the shelf"...

Phil: The barrel length on your AR will certainly be OK for midrange. My AR15 service rifle has the regulation 20 inch barrel and shoots very well at 600 yards. You are a little limited by the 1:9 twist but what you loose in wind handling would give you a better education for wind reading...

Phil: Your AR would be OK for NRA Higpower mid range prone matches with iron sites or F Class with a scope. Midrange prone is usually shot at 300, 500, &600 yards. Fclass is the same but with scope. Long range prone is shot at 800, 900, and 1000 yards. You could use the AR there as well...

"I believe I am self motivated enough" No matter how motivated you are or believe you are it is just human nature to try especially hard in competition. Also, as mentioned above, there are others right there to ask you questions about what went right or wrong and help you find the answer. As...

Phil: There are many shooting games out there, each with their own set of skills to teach you. I compete in 4 position small bore, NRA highpower, NRA prone, F Class, and Benchrest score. I firmly believe that if you really want to become a better shooter then competition is the best way to do...

Don't forget the increased pollution produced in manufacturing the new cars. The ones that were destroyed had already produced pollution in their manufacturing which was spread over a much shorter time frame by ruining perfectly good running cars. As usual the politicians let their emotions...

Jackie, I want to tell you I really like your idea. In fact I think it really is the best game I've heard of to promote rifle precision and accuracy. It has always bugged me that it doesn't matter where on the target your group ends up. Your game sounds really tough and fun. Having said that...

I prefer side focus for prone When shootin off the bench I don't really have a preference. When shooting prone I really prefer the side focus. It is much easier to adjust. I haven't seen any other difference.

Bullen: I think the Otto bag stabilizer is what you would want. https://www.sinclairintl.com/product/5290/Sand-Bag-Accessories The True Kote really is more of a spacer. The Otto stablizer will form its shape to level and stabilize your bag. Despite that, unless your bench is not level/flat I...

They normally are much more expensive. My SPR Cost me $999 on sale at a local gun shop. List price was about $1800. The cheapest I could find on the web was $1350. The PBRs have always been cheaper. They usually went for around $1000 like you said. CDNN has been having great deals on them...

Another option you should consider is the FN SPR or PBR. CDNN Investments usually has great deals on complete rifles and actions. The Patrol can be had with 18,20,22, 0r 24 inch barrel. The action is a very strong control feed winchester. The last CDNN price was $599. there was a good...

Thanks for the info folks. I will contact Fudd and Harrell. I also got an email from a member that has one for sale. Things are starting to come together so I can start shooting again without so much pain.
