The following video is of myself along with good friend and spotter Todd L. shooting out to 1000 yards using the 6.5 Creedmoor! For those of you who are into long-range precision and competing, you will love this round. Let me first start off by stating that this cartridge is extremely forgiving. The 6.5 Creedmoor […]
The Red Rock Tactical Rifle Bag would have been a huge benefit to our section, not just as a drag bag during a stalk lane, but for everyday use.
Special Operations Command is exploring a new caliber for its semi-automatic sniper rifle needs and upgrading one of its bolt-action sniper rifle systems. Maj. Aron Hauquitz told Military Times Tuesday that SOCOM is in the preliminary stages of exploring a sniper rifle chambered in the 6.5 mm caliber.

I’ve been asked on multiple occasions, “Does rain or snow affect the bullet, and how do you adjust for it?” Some precision shooters absolutely freak out when it starts to rain, or may even go as far as to not shoot in those conditions. I like to look at rain, to a certain extent, the way […]
I’m sure everyone here knows that a bullet is most effective when it’s traveling through the air at its prescribed velocity. After all, that’s what the bullet is designed to do. The cartridge holds the powder, and once the powder ignites, initiated by the primer, the projectile unseats from the casing, travels the length of the […]

I know that technology has somewhat taken over what we used to do, and some consider paper and pen “old school,” but I’m a firm believer in […]
A negative lead is typically used when engaging a stagnant target while the shooter is moving. See how this can impact accuracy during precision shots.
(Article courtesy of Tactical Life) Law enforcement countersnipers, military personnel and those engaged in executive protection have always needed compact precision rifles built for concealment. Urban engagements are generally within 300 yards, where there’s no need for rifles with longer barrels or fixed stocks. I’ve deployed precision rifles with 16-inch barrels that were perfect for most police […]
I began this 3-part series discussing how to build a precision sniper rifle on a budget. This third part of my series is going to talk specifically about having a custom one-off rifle built to the shooter’s specifications. To build a custom rifle one must seek a reputable gunsmith to perform this task. Before contacting […]
Although there is no such thing as a perfect cartridge, we can take a look at a few cartridges and the characteristics that make them as good as they come.
