    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    I've used these quite a bit now and my only complaint so far is switching from one ballistic profile to another. Is there an actual procedure for this? Im using the AB quantum app and I have to try 900 times to finally get my "active" profile to be the one used by the binos. And I really...

    How much do set your bullets back from the lands?

    Yea exactly

    How much do set your bullets back from the lands?

    I think everyones measurement will vary, even 2 people using the same method will probably come up with a different number. My .005 is probably your .012 and someone else's .009. It's arbitrary, I think you just need a solid reference point to start with.

    How much do set your bullets back from the lands?

    I start about .005 from touch (or mag length) and work back from there.

    Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

    Excessive annealing from the factory is what I have assumed in my case. You can neck up lapua 6br to 30br in one pass and not collapse a shoulder. But expanding a few thousandths did them in...

    Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

    Not sure what you're trying to say here. 50/50 would have been ruined if the die wasn't set up correctly. It wasn't the first 3 cases that were ruined.

    Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

    No. Virgin brass, expander mandrel in preparation for chamfering and loading. For the record, I'm not bashing ADG, they make good brass. But I've only had this happen with this particular brass. @rmiked post a picture of your brass

    Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

    Heres 2 of the 3. I have to expand them before chamfering so they will fit over the pilot on my henderson trimmer. There were no signifi ant burs on the necks and my mandrel is in great shape. When these necks folded in, the feeling was nearly indiscernable from the rest of the cases, didn't...

    Neck collapsed reloading new brass?

    I collapsed 3/50 necks on ADG 300 wsm brass a few months ago just using 21st century nitride mandrel on virgin brass, same mandrel I've used on thousands of 308/300wm/nm cases without issue. The shoulders folded inside the case body and I could barely even feel it happen. Never had this happen...

    Testing loads - Am I doing it wrong?

    I gotta keep it simple when doing load development. I pick the bullet and powder I want to shoot, measure chamber and seat the bullet .010 off the lands (or max mag length if I can't reach the lands). Then shoot a ladder over a chrono, 3-5 round groups at increasing charge weights, usually in .3...

    Pair with the Leica app and you can change this setting. I have mine set so each reading displays for 2 seconds.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Only 100 rds but flawless so far. I shot from the tripod quite a bit today and didn't see any zero shift. This rifle flat hammers. Does Barrett make their own barrel blanks?

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+/ Sig Sauer KIL010K-ABS HD 10x42mm AB GEN II/ Revic Acura BLR10b Binocular, or VECTRONIX SHOOTING SOLUTIONS VECTOR X

    The Leicas use angle in the ballistic solution. Can't speak for the rest, but it would be stupid for them not to include that in the math.

    Leica Geovid Pro 10x42 AB+

    Spent a lot of time behind them this weekend. Ranged cattle at 1400 yds every time. Trees out to a mile no problem. Got returns on trees at 2700 but not reliably. There were really no reflective targets past a mile that I could range to test its upper limits. This was all broad daylight, bright...
