Re: Leupold TMR type reticle in moa Beenjammin if you have a SFP TMR do like I did and set it up in 2 moa increments. Set up a target at 100 yards marked in moa increments and turn the power down until the 1 mil hash mark represents 4 moa and mark the setting on the power ring. With the half...

Re: NEW IOR scope models have arrived What is the weight of the 6x24?

Re: *NEW* The Premier Heritage 3-15x50 Hunter Any plans for any type of a MOA reticle and turrets?

Re: Close Range Steel Shooting Thanks for all the advice guys. I guess 10 yards will be the minimum distance. Targets will either be hanging at an angle or placed so that they can be knocked over. I know crap can always happen but does this sound ok for 9mm,.40,and .45 FMJ practice? What...

I've got some extra ar500 plate and was wanting to set up a steel pistol range. I have never shot steel at close range and was wondering if there is anything I SHOULD NOT DO? Is there any handgun ammo or calibers that are not safe? What would be the closest safe range for shooting steel...

Re: Building steel targets Thanks Horse1. I figured it would work but its always good here from someone that has tried it.

Re: Building steel targets 3/8" will do what you want if it is AR500. I wouldn't spend my money on AR400. I have got one piece on 3/8" AR500 that is 2'x2' that I use for a backstop at my 300 yard load development target. This plate has taken thousands of rounds from 6br,6x47,6.5-284,7WSM, 308...

Re: 6x47 115gr dtac with ? powder diggler I am watching very closely and I am measuring case head expansion and looking for all the signs. I know that the Lapua cases will stand a lot more pressure before they show signs of over pressure but there isn't even a hint right now. The primers of...

Re: 6x47 115gr dtac with ? powder I have just started to do load development on mine and I am amazed at the velocities I am getting out of such a little case. I have worked up to 41.3 grains of H4350 (this is much higher than most loads I have seen for 105's) and I am getting almost 3200 fps...

Re: Nightforce NP-R2 reticle The windage hash marks are 5 moa on the NP-R2, not 4 moa.

Re: Gaps in dope and can't shoot at all ranges? Two things come to mind. First are the distances exactly what you are calling them and have you checked your scope adjustments to make sure that they are correct. If the 600 yard distance is actually 610 yards that is almost a half moa...

Re: Forster sizing die... bad results I use some Forester dies and I have found the same thing as far as the over working the necks. I send them back to them and tell them to hone the neck out to whatever a loaded round measures minus .003".

Re: Manual Discrepancy Run a ladder test. I don't use it so much as to find accuracy as I do to find the max for a particular load. Powder charges above 50 grains I load in half grain increments and below 50 I load in .3 grain increments. I start with a load near minimum and load 1 round each...

Re: can you see a bullet hole with your scope Leupold 6.5-20 and 8.5-25, NF 5.5-22x50 and 56. I can see 6mm holes at 300 on white paper with all of these scopes with no problem. I can see 6mm holes at 400 with them some of the time depending on conditions. When things are absolutely perfect I...
