Back when I bought my first rifle and wanted to get into loading, I received some wicked bad gun counter info. I already got the press and tools just was looking for the powder and bullets. I was very trusting at the time. Guy told me H1000 and some 115gr bullets. So I went with that and had a nice load worked out in my head. went to the range and zeroed off with some factory ammo. let the rifle cool off a little while and then tested this load., rocked the first one off, nice hole in the target.. rocked another off. DANG same hole.... so went with 2 more and made one hole. The fifth one hit high. I was kind of disappointed, so went down to get a close look. well.... I must say after seeing this I just stopped shooting and did tons more research. I needed a much faster twist barrel for the 115. The 1/12 in the old .243win just wasn't right and the bullets hit sideways.. so went back to the drawing board.


The 5 shot group.

Just sent you a PM regarding a problem finding various forums.

Leupold isn't the liability it used to be from the mk4 and mk6 era.

There are reasons for why someone might not like the mk5 over other brands, but they are flippable without much loss if you don't like it.

Gotta look at the upside. Buy all the used ones about to hit the market and resell them at a big mark up to some 3rd world commie shit hole. Wthh a boat load of LAX ammo.

Buddy (knows the deal) has bought a few very very cheap in hopes a fix is forthcoming

How many rounds of 7prc can you do in the 1800 case?

Too many quality pistol manufacturers that ARE drop safe. I've stuck with Walther PPQ 45 and PPQ subcompact. I'm not a big pistol aficionado.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet... but with light bullets from a slow twist barrel, it's unlikely that the ES/SD is the major cause of any accuracy problems, at the distances that combo is typically used for. Short range BR shooters routinely shoot tiny groups with ES/SD numbers that would give the LR crowd hives.

Bump, offers entertained

Picked up this beauty in the hood.

Any mass produced rifle that behaves that badly eating brass cased commercial ammo, thats a big no thanks from me.

didn’t see the eating brass part. i was referring to the accuracy

what was it doing to brass? none of my mcx’s have done that. they’ve all been stellar performers
