Keys to Rifle Accuracy

By Glen Wunderlich

During a recent session at the rifle range, I pulled out one of my most accurate firearms: a Remington model 700 in .22-250 caliber.  I wanted to see where it was hitting at 200 yards, after having sighted it in at 50 yards.  The computer indicated that the home-brewed 50-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets would be on target.

At the 200-yard target, the first 2 shots were a scant one-inch low but grouped a respectable .625 of an inch.  Since I had only 7 rounds remaining in the box, and wanted to save them for hunting coyotes, I was putting it away, when my friend, Joe, piped up, “Shoot it again.  That could have been a fluke.”

Mind you, Joe has a .300 Winchester Magnum that’s his go-to, show-off gun and I’m quite sure that first group challenged his best of the day.  I explained that I’d that I’d have to change ammo to satisfy his curiosity.

Again, I had already done a bit of testing with the other ammo, but only at 50 yards.  However, the 50-yard results were just as good, but the groups were low and right compared to the other ammo.

“Alright, Joe, here goes.  But, understand the group will be low and right.”  Three more shots and the issue was settled:  .687 of an inch at 200 yards – a bit low and right.  No more from Joe.

To pull this off, several factors come into play.  Read more

Bloomberg Proxy Releases Anti-Gun Manifesto; Proposes to Ban Cartoon Characters and Colors!

The name of U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) headlines the Kelly Report, a new manifesto identifying a long list of gun control initiatives that anti-gun activists intend to pursue in the near future. However, the document appears to be the handiwork of Michael Bloomberg, whose misleadingly-named Independence USA political action committee contributed $2.1 million to Kelly’s congressional campaign last year. With Bloomberg’s help, Kelly was elected to fill the Chicago-area seat previously held by fellow gun control supporter Jesse Jackson, Jr., who is currently doing time in federal prison. Read more

Russian Sanctions and Guns

374. If I own a Kalashnikov product, is that product blocked by sanctions?  Am I able to resell a Kalashnikov product at a gun show or other secondary market? 

If a U.S. person is in possession of a Kalashnikov Concern product that was bought and fully paid for prior to the date of designation (i.e., no payment remains due to Kalashnikov Concern), then that product is not blocked and OFAC sanctions would not prohibit the U.S. person from keeping or selling the product in the secondary market, so long as Kalashnikov Concern has no interest in the transaction.  New transactions by U.S. persons with Kalashnikov Concern are prohibited, however, and any property in which Kalashnikov Concern has an interest is blocked pursuant to OFAC’s designation of Kalashnikov Concern on July 16, 2014.  If a U.S. person has an inventory of Kalashnikov Concern products in which Kalashnikov Concern has an interest (for example, the products are not fully paid for or are being sold on consignment), we advise that U.S. person to contact OFAC for further guidance on handling of the inventory.

375. If I have Kalashnikov products in my inventory, can I sell them?

If a U.S. person has an inventory of Kalashnikov Concern products in which Kalashnikov Concern has an interest (for example, the products are not fully paid for or are being sold on consignment), we advise that U.S. person to contact OFAC for further guidance on handling of the inventory.
