I have bean so lucky with VLDs I never actually made it that far in the test. Have set out to do it a couple times but I end up working them up to pressure .010 off the lands and finding a load that shoots beyond expectations in the process. The last two I worked up: I did not even plan to try...
I have a few 338 edge rifles and a couple boxes of 285 A-max to test. I see some old threads using re-33 but no mention of results with h1000 or retumbo compared to the 300smk or 300otm. Anyone done this and care to share what they found?
I am at 3200 feet........... #1 is running just over 2780 fps 1-10 twist with 300 smk in a 24". #2 is running 2810 fps 1-10 twist with 300 otm in a 24". #3 is running 2840 fps 1-10 twist with 300 otm from a 26" All three of these rifles are at or around 1/4" moa and have bean pushed out to...
Under $350 with a mil-dot and a 1" tube would probably lead me to a bushnell elite 5-15x40 or a nikon buckmaster 6-18x40. Just not allot of solid options out there in the 1" higher magnifications.
Agreed that if you have a serious defect of machining it is usually best to consult a professional. However, everything I have ever done for the first time was something I had never done before and rarely did I really know wtf I was doing the first time. . If you have the interest and judgment...
I am totally guilty of "playing gunsmith in my garage". That's why I laugh when someone suggests a "competent gunsmith" to mount a scope. A professional sock installer may do a better job of putting mine on every morning but for something so self explanatory and simple, I think I'll manage...
First, if your 338 edge kicks as hard as a wsm tikka.........get a better brake. I have a wsm tikka and three 338 edge rifles ranging from 13-16lb waring Ross brakes and none of them have FELT recoil even worth mentioning.........................however, Having bean in your shoes: Burris with...
A: yes my eyes are not perfect and I were glasses to correct but some scopes are just picky as hell and some are not. My cheap little sweet 17 bsa was totally hazed "bad" when facing in to the sun, my equally cheap nikon was not. My vortex has extremely picky eye relief, My big bushnell is very...
I can NOT see clearly or easily threw a $100 bsa or $200 leupold rifleman. I can see clearly and easily threw a $200 nikon prostaff or a $300 SS. I can see even better threw a $500 nikon monarch and a little better than a $700 vortex. Way better yet from a bushnell elite..........beyond...
I have an old 1500..........It will ping anything out to about 800, 1050 with a steady rest and a couple tries. Beyond that......useless, first year I had it I got hits out to 1300. However for about the same money there new 1300 G-force (I have two) hits everything out to 1050 instantly and on...
I also run a tikka t3 (300wsm) and they are the nicest production action to run, very smooth, very fast, great trigger. after market parts are available but limited so make a plan or plan to take it as is before going that rout but they are great rifles and very accurate. I do allot more savage...
Sights are held on by two little screws and can be done away with in no time at all. I have used the choate "tactical" on my last few builds and use it almost exclusively now but all the usual suspects apply. Chassis from xlr or mdt, stocks from manners or mcmillian on down threw hs precision...
I have bean torn over the 6.5mm for months, I figure....... Short action: creedmoor, so I am not fighting mag length. Long action gets more complicated, 6.5x284-6.5x55-260.............leaning toward the sweed myself ......cheepest lapua brass.....but a guy could go crazy trying to weigh the pros...
I would second the hog hunter suggestion. Top bolt release version has great aftermarket support. My hog hunters are in the magnum and still do .4 moa with target loads. Comes in a cheap stock (functional but cheap)........in that price range you can afford to swap it to whatever you want. . If...
I would be comfortable at the range with that set up but probably still would not. Never recommend them for serious work, ANY kind of serious. I have completely lost faith in them. Chased one too many wandering zeros and waisted to much time and ammo to ever toy with them again.
