Seating Depth Question 6.5cm

New to reloading and question regarding initial seating depth. If I did things right I am roughly 20 thousandths off the lands, overall cartridge length is 2.93 which seems a little long from what I have read on here regarding 6.5cm loads. Bullets are Berger hybrid target, 140g. I took the firing pin assembly out of the bolt and it closes smoothly at this depth. Is this a decent place to start?

Training Courses Sniper's Hide 3-Day Training Cours in W. TEXAS! May 20-22, 2023 near Rotan, TX.

One of our two-time students invited Frank and I down to the canyon country of western Texas. He is student-hosting us at Hawk's Double Mountain Ranch near Raton, TX for a three-day course with ELR on Day 3.

I asked him to write up a description, since it's one of his local ranges. Here's what he wrote:

A full three day course offered at an incredible 5 star venue in Texas. This location offers access to multiple shooting ranges on an expansive game ranch in the heart of the West. The focus of the course is Hammer-Forged Precision Rifle skills with a bonus day of alternate positions and drills. Winds will be present in an area famous for their tenacity and omnipresence. This location will present an awesome aesthetic backdrop and crucible for skill development in a challenging environment. On day 3, there will be a once in a lifetime chance to shoot out to 2 miles across an expansive canyon. Additionally, due to its remote location, lodging and world class cuisine will be available from the ranch. For additional details on this course please email: [email protected] or [email protected].

He has filled most of the Course from his associates in TX and LA, but we have room for 3 or 4 more, so here you go.
All inclusive with respect to the Lodge; $275 per day for meals, range and lodging. Training Course is our standard $1,000 fee.

220 rounds of ammo.
Bring a mid-range rifle and maybe an ELR rig for Day 3.

Reach out for one of these roster spots to the emails above.

See you there.

Rem 721 time to re-barrel, what caliber

I have a 721 30-06 which I got from my father. Nothing fancy but it has a well adjusted trigger. I was hoping for the rifle to serve both as a range toy for local level 300 yd steel and egg matches, as well as a hunting rifle for whitetail in northern new england. The range use being the focus, and hunting as time allows at a friends property.

I recently spent some time at the range with it and it consistently has a POI shift as it warms up. Walks down the paper ~3" at 100 yards till hot, then holds steady. I knew it had a historic tendency for shifting POI so before I took it out I gave it pillars and bedded the action in addition to floating the barrel. I'm pretty sure the pencil barrel is the culprit and am considering re-barreling with something a bit heavier (M24/MTU) but am now thinking about caliber choice.

the basic perimeters are :
readily available match grade factory ammo because I have no time for reloading with a young family
cant be too small of a case cause it a long action and I would like to be able to use the blind mag

currently I'm thinking about 6.5x55 but am wondering what the recommendations might be.

I recognize that the recommendation will likely be origin action with 6BR prefit for the target work and leave the existing rifle alone for hunting but I like projects and making use of what I have.

What can I do with an old AW barrel?

.300 Winmag bolt face caliber.

I have the replacement in hand and I'll be installing it later this month. I was thinking about taking the old one and getting it installed on some other rifle so I can use it to fireform brass.

Problem is I'd have to have it re-threaded, which means I'll have to have it chambered as well (I have a reamer). Don't GAF about accuracy or anything else, seems like a good idea to me as I'll save on the life of my new barrel, but I don't know if the math adds up. Also, not sure what donor action I'd use. (Bartlein MTU profile)

Has anyone done this?

Dillon xl750 is there slop in ram like the 650xl?

i’ve had a Dylan XL 650 bought it brand new and should’ve paid more attention as to where and why the cases were not lining up with the dies. whether it’s rifle or straight wall pistol brass it does not lineup with the center of each station.

.

Does the XL 750 fix this? Did they add a bronze bushing so that there’s not slop in the ram?


Looks like the XL 750 is basically the same except they change the primer system.


FYI, my case feeder even has a warp in the bottom half where I had to add thin card stock to level it out so the brass cases will not keep falling out of the feeder before it got to the drop spot.

I should’ve boxed it up and brought it back immediately. Now it’s past that point obviously as this is now a discontinued model and they’ve moved onto this XL 750

I’ve got a ticket with DILLAN we’ll see what they say. I’ve done everything, including adding thin bushings to the left side of the bottom of the ram pin holder… this helps to twist or force the head to the left …




I get that this is not a very expensive press in the grand scheme of things…
a misaligned, drilled or bored hole even with a bushing will still be a misaligned .. to whatever side it was drilled/bored off center on…. the slop would be reduced because it would be a much tighter fitting piece.. It doesn’t have to be like a crank and Conrod , as this is not turning at 5,000 rps… so a bronze bushing would work just fine. I would pay an extra hundred dollars or even 200 for that bronze bushing to be machined and squeezed in there for a better fit..

My Review: Telson 5-32x56 Target Master Victory Rifle Scope

My Review: Telson 5-32x56 Target Master Victory Rifle Scope
After spending nearly a year with the Telson 5-32x56 Target Master Victory rifle scope, I’ve had the chance to put it through its paces in just about every scenario I could throw at it. From casual range sessions with a .22 LR and .460 Styer to competitive ELR matches with a 33XC, this scope has consistently impressed me with its performance, durability, and thoughtful design.

Versatility That Delivers Across the Board
I’ve mounted this optic on everything from rimfires to full-blown ELR rigs. At one point, I even dropped it during transport, not ideal, but after checking it on a collimator, I found no shift in zero and perfect tracking. That kind of durability gives me real confidence in the gear I rely on.

Built With Real-World Use in Mind
The Target Master Victory’s design shows that it was made for shooters who actually spend time behind their rifle. The knurling on the turrets and magnification ring isn’t just decorative—it provides a solid grip even with wet hands or gloves. That’s something I’ve appreciated more than once in unpredictable weather or under match pressure.

Turrets That Click With Purpose
I’m very particular about turret feel, and this scope delivers. The clicks are tactile, positive, and easy to track—no mushiness or excessive resistance. Whether I’m making a quick adjustment mid-stage or dialing for a long shot at the range, the turrets perform exactly as they should and return to a solid zero stop every time.

Optics That Punch Above Their Price
What really surprised me is the quality of the glass. The apochromatic lenses do a fantastic job at minimizing chromatic aberration, and I get a crisp, high-contrast image in all lighting conditions. Early morning, midday glare, low light—this scope handles it all well. For a scope with a $2,099 MSRP, the image clarity easily competes with optics in the $3,000+ range.

A Reticle That Just Works
The reticle design is one of my favorite aspects of the Target Master Victory. It’s fast, intuitive, and precise—perfect for competition or practical long-range shooting. I recently used this scope in an ELR match and finished fourth overall, shooting solo against two-man shooter/spotter teams. The reticle played a big part in that success allowing me to quickly spot, measure and adjust on my own.
Target Master FAR2 5-32 and 5-25 MIL For AB (1).png


A Game-Changer: Dual-Turn Elevation Indicator
One standout feature is the dual-turn elevation indicator. Once I pass 15 mils, a clear visual indicator pops up, letting me know I’m on the second rotation. It sounds simple, but when you’re under pressure during a match, it’s a huge advantage. I never have to second-guess whether I’m dialed correctly, which gives me one less thing to worry about.

Final Thoughts: A Reliable, High-Value Scope
The Target Master Victory has earned its spot on my rifles. It’s tough, repeatable, optically sharp, and user-friendly. Whether I’m at the range, on the hunt, or competing at distance, it gives me the confidence I need to focus on the shot—not the gear.
If you’re in the market for a scope that offers high-end performance without the premium price tag, this one is absolutely worth a look. I’ve used a lot of optics over the years, and the Telson Target Master Victory stands out as one of the best values I’ve come across.

Times Square Touts New Statue Of 12-Foot-Tall Black woman

The trash continues!

New York City's Times Square installed a statue of a 12-foot-tall Black woman in casual clothing that its creator hopes will encourage people to reflect on "greater cultural diversity."

New York-based Times Square Arts recently put up the new statue display, titled "Grounded in the Stars," by artist Thomas J Price, along with his "Man Series" animated billboards, both of which are temporary, but causing a stir online.

The Times Square website states, "Price’s multi-channel presentation on the screens and sculptural installation on the plaza below forms a two-part takeover in Times Square that foregrounds the intrinsic value of the individual and amplifies traditionally marginalized bodies on a monumental scale."
