My Vudoo hated Polar so much I have yet to try it on anything else.
Luckily my Vudoo and 1727 both shoot the tightest and most reliable with a certain speed Lapua Long Range. My Lonestar/Shilen Ratchet combo with a PQP tuner isn't happy with anything but Midas+ and only one speed lot of that. Thinking at some point, health permitting, I'll take a trip down to Whidden's and see if I can find a Eley happy place.

I could be wrong but I think the chambers in the Fortners were optimized for PB?? The tech at the Lapua facility tried 3-4 lot #'s of PB but only the one I bought was exceptional, however equal to the best Midas+, and I didn't want to spend X-act money which was the most precise at 100M by a tiny margin.
The best CX and all the SK lines didn't shoot as well as that lot of PB in my gun.
Just wish I had bought two cases! IIRC in inches(because they measure in MM) it shot around 1" for 10 shots OTO at 100M.
Also they didn't have a proper jig for a Fortner action so they had to put it in a vice using rubber shims which I thought was funky.

Accessories Free Night Force ELR match spot

V
I am not going to the match this year but have a spot for it. I am willing to give this to someone who is wanting to attend but missed out on the sign up. I am not wanting to give this to anyone who is not going to use it or is going to try and sell it. My requirements would be to pay me for the spot now ($310) and when you finish the match and your name shows up on the results I will refund your money in full. I don't care how you do in the match just that you attend and shoot it.

Safeties are for gays and single actions. It’s a training issue, safeties only help the retarded. A safety is a crutch for a lot of dumb people obviously accidents(negligence) can happen with any firearm but if I can’t train you not to touch the trigger, then I can’t train you to put the safety on reliably. No amount of safeties is going to stop an ND if you don’t use them properly and repeatedly. If you don’t put your booger hook(or anything else) near the bang switch it won’t fire…unless it’s a 320.

The best safety is a good holster, and I repeat a GOOD holster. If you can’t touch the trigger it won’t go off unless it’s a 320

Sometimes memes are true

Obviously use common sense and train with the safety on equipped firearms.

Many NDs are holstering and unholstering. Yes, not an issue for most of us. It just is for genpop, and the careless. Manual safeties prevent glockleg. Unless someone is comfortable and knows what they’re doing it’s better to have one than not. Those of us who grew up with them they’re no big deal. If you grew up with only plastic fantastic striker pistols I can see why you would think them unnecessary, but for most people they can prevent NDs, and that’s all there is to it.

Mas Ayoob teaches people to shoot through panic rather than learning to fight panic, remain calm, and breathe. Why, because it’s not a six week combat course. For the love of God!

He teaches a seminar and done, and that’s the most effective way to teach self defense with a pistol in a single seminar to people who aren’t going to train and practice. Shit, some people who have work guns barely practice.

They don’t need to learn to be gunfighters. They need to learn the basics and to shoot through panic, because guess what? They’re gona panic.

Nope, those are factory loads. The factory Hornady 108s shoot extremely well too, and the speed is pretty good. It took about 160 rounds for this barrel to stabilize and get to that speed. Its the factory win tac barrel, i think its a 26".

I am loading for berger 105 hybrids at 3050. They are lights out. I have not hunted with them yet. I have great luck with the hornady 108's. I've only had one runner. Not sure how the hybrids will expand at 500Y. Ill have to try it.

My factory 6CM barrel shot the factory Hornady 108s into about a half inch during break in. So I figured I'd give them a solid chance during load development.

I used Peterson brass, and had read about reduced case capacity and early pressure, so I started way low.

I popped quite a few groups in the 3/8" and under from 38.0 - 39.5 range of H4350 as I carefully worked my way up. From 39.7 - 40.7 things got erratic, but then came back together at 41.0gr...so much for pressure concerns, not a sign at all and I'm generally pretty conservative.

41.0 gave me my smallest group ever at 650 when I trued velocity - just under 2"

^ Probably a fluke, and I'll admit it.

I came down a tenth, held. 2 more for wind, and immediately re-shot it to confirm. Looks like I needed to come down another tenth.

^ That puts my velocity at 3,050-3,060 IIRC.

I did not have a very good experience with my first AI barrel, but this 6CM one hammers.

Currently, I've been using a rebarreled FN SPR in 6.5x47L with 130gr ELD-M to dispatch most of the critters this past fall and winter. I'm about 20 coyotes in, and have been extremely impressed with the terminal performance.

Now it is time for me to test the 108s in 6CM. I'm getting ahead of myself though and having a second 6CM barrel spun up for another rifle to do the same.

WHY????? Mag feed vs. Hand feed

E
It is my opinion that any round with a “longer” bullet sticking out the front of the brass, has more negative impact on the bullet’s seating as it is extracted from the mag, and is ran up the barrel extension/feed ramps.

The bullet gets slammed forward into the feed ramp(s), and “hopefully” the round is aligned as best as possible as it is chambered.
-when you single feed rounds you can slide them in nice and easy and not effect how the bullet is seated

Here’s a test…if you have a Concentricity Tool (I have a Hornady brand), set some rounds up that are perfectly concentric.
Then just run them thorugh the mag/feed cycle, without shooting them, by just pulling the charging handle back…running several rounds through.

Then check to see if the concentricity changes.

As mentioned, you could always use a smaller bushing to increase the neck tension on your brass when reloading.

-In a 6.5 CM, I would assume the 140 ELD will be more affected by the feeding cycle than let’s say a 123 ELD would.

My 2 cents

Mark 4hd tracking issue

R
So here’s the problem, new scope I mounted right before a PRS match and my dope seemed to be off at longer distances. After trying to figure out what I was doing wrong I decided to test the tracking. I shot a group at zero then 2 at 5mil and 2 at 10mil all @100yrds. Problem is with 5mil the point of impact is moving 19” instead of 18 and at 10mil it’s moving 37-37.5”. Doesn’t seem like much but shooting .5mil high at longer ranges makes a difference. Do you guys see anything I could be doing to cause this or just a tracking issue? I shot the groups round robin to see shifts. View attachment 8682707

Edit: This edit is being added to address some questions or things that have been raised in this post. First I always shoot over a chronograph but it doesn’t matter in this test. Since we’re 100% testing impact shift at 100yrds then velocity, BC and all other influences do not matter (we’re only testing impact shift). Secondly I have already adjusted my data in the kestrel to match what the issue is, so that’s not really a concern.
The main reason for the post was to see if this is a common issue with the mark 4hd. I ask that because I have two Mark4 hd 6-24 scopes and suspect a similar issue with both. I bought a pr3 reticle for my 6.5 being built now and the pr2 reticle for 6gt. I received the pr3 reticle first so I threw it on and and shot a PRS match and found at longer distances I was shooting high compared to the (untrued data in the kestrel) and also when compared to friends guns running the same bullet and velocity as me. Right after that match the pr3 reticle came in so I swapped it onto the gun and went to true my data. Doing that is when I saw the actual tracking issue. I’ve been extremely busy so I haven’t had the time to run more tests but next week before sending it back to Leupold I will compare the two scopes side by side on a verified chart to see how much shift I am getting.

419 Mid Cantilever Question

Shootin25
Currently running the standard 419 mount on the K540, but needed a little more eye relief as I shoot a short LOP.
Received the 419 mid cantilever yesterday, and noticed the cant portion has some flex as that connection has a relatively thin profile.

Should I be at all concerned? I’m guessing not as the 36mm scope body will add rigidity?
Am I over thinking this?

Flame suit on (in case this is perceived as a newb question).
