Best one you can get is the USAMU Service Rifle guide. Anything from the USAMU, those guys are the best in the world.

Gen Ike, (President) established the USAMU in 1956 for the sole purpose to provide the information you are looking for.

kraigwy, (I hate to be pushy, but) have you got it (pdf)? Your Pistol Marksmanship Guide is unsurpassed. I, for one, would love to have it.

Sorry but I haven't been able to find the USAMU Service Rifle Guide in .pdf file. But I keep looking, when I find it, I'll post it.

I have three suggestions in the order that I think will help:

Prone and Long-Range Rifle Shooting, by Nancy Topkins with Mid Tompkins

The Rifle Shooter, by David Tubbs

Precision Shoting at 1,000 yards, by Dave Brennan

The ones with David Tubbs are usually pretty good.

By the way...if you have a 69 Vette with a 427...I HATE you!

I had a '64 convertible. and sold it. and its worth like a million $$$ now. Great, now I hate ME!

My best friend had a '63 split window. and sold it. and its worth like several million $$$$. Now we both hate each other!

Seriously, though, the Tubbs videos are good.

And welcome to the forum.

Anybody reloading 6.5 Creedmoor? I am trying to choose between 139 gr Scenar, 140 gr AMax, 142 gr SMK? Any experience out there with these bullets in this chambering?

tlanders, try these two articles. Performance should be almost identical between those bullets. Personally I prefer the 139gr Scenar due to cost, accuracy, and consistency; however, I have shot the other 3 bullets (140 Berger, 140 AMAX, and 142 SMK) with excellent results.
