    Neck size a 6.5 Swede in a 6.5 Creedmoor Redding

    Re: Neck size a 6.5 Swede in a 6.5 Creedmoor Redding Tonytx, Have you ever checked your reloads for bullet concentricity after reloading with the Hornady dies? I ask as once I checked my Swede loads for concentricity, I was getting 50% with at least a 5-thousands run out. (Which is not...

    Neck size a 6.5 Swede in a 6.5 Creedmoor Redding

    Re: Neck size a 6.5 Swede in a 6.5 Creedmoor Redding Well, I'd try to neck size the Swede on a Creedmoor neck sizing die....but I don't have a Creedmore neck sizing die. (Or any Creedmoor die's for that matter) I ask as I may .....just may "dump" my two Swede barrels in favor of the...

    Neck size a 6.5 Swede in a 6.5 Creedmoor Redding

    Can you neck size (and do a good job of it) a 6.5 Swede cartridge in the Redding Competition Bushing Neck Die? The case measurements are very close, and (as you well know) since the neck die only does the neck and not the cartridge body...will the Creedmoor die not only work, but provide a good...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Revolver question

    Re: Revolver question I'm agreeing with Matthias. The people who own the 41 Mag defend it to the "hilt." (And I don't know what the heck a "hilt" is anyway.) But...you have to figure if you just spent $650 or more on a revolver....are you gonna call it a POS? Get a caliber that gives you...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST vs Mk 4

    Re: Vortex PST vs Mk 4 I just bot the PST 6-24x50 PST after considering the Leupold M-4, and the NF. I ended up with the SFP Vortex instead of the FFP as I rangefind just about everything I shoot in the field. My reasons for buying the Vortex, were actually pretty simple. The scope was...

    Rifle Scopes I can't because of the cant ...backwards

    Re: I can't because of the cant ...backwards Are you guys telling me the big fat part of my new Vortex 6-24x50 doesn't point towards my eye??? I mean....I thought when I screwed on the sunshade....that's what kept the sun out of my "shootin eye". Well....that and the big blood bubble that...

    Rifle Scopes I can't because of the cant ...backwards

    Re: I can't because of the cant ...backwards Yeah.....somewhere in my tiny grey matter, I was thinking that if the scope is 20MOA higher in the front, then in order to be on target at closer ranges (like 100 yards) the cross hairs would have to be lower than the center in the scope. Thus...

    Rifle Scopes I can't because of the cant ...backwards

    Well....you know...I once had a thought. So, I mounted my newbie Vortex on my Savage 6.5 Swede caliber....and I'm thinking...OK...the scope needs to be "tilted" down in the front so that I will have a bunch of "room" to move the reticle "up" for making a 900 or 1,000 yard shot. Sooooo....I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex\Leupold\NF...Which???

    Re: Vortex\Leupold\NF...Which??? Mounted the new Viper PST to my 6.5 Swede Savage. I did buy a SFP scope and based upon my range time the glass is clear, the reticle is thin & crisp, & adjusting the turrets is easy and right on the money when I printed out a ballistic chart with my bullet &...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex\Leupold\NF...Which???

    Re: Vortex\Leupold\NF...Which??? I am a true dye in the wool Leupold fan. All of my other scopes (four of 'em) are Leupold's and I like 'em all. But to get one that was going to do what this Vortex was going to do was going to cost me $1,700. Well, I'll know in six months if I made the...
