Jewel is excellent - done 3000 rounds with mine (had 4 blown primers and no issues) Used in F-class - set to 6 ounces my master gunsmith Mik Maksimovic from Dolphin Gun Company CG also great ... has a brilliant provenance Any good trigger, properly installed and well setup will perform.

Will work very well I have done 3000 rounds in F-Class in the UK with a Stille Predator & Bartlein & Jewel It is a very sweet combination. The Stille Predator has a REM 700 footprint but is a custom action that is really excellent. An advantage is that later on you can cross the Stille...

Quickload I replicated as best I could the load you have - Had to use the 300 Berger Hybrid but changed it. I get 51,010 psi for 2,596 velocity I did notice my "Shot Initiation Pressure was 3,626 - unlike your which was 10,825 in the jpeg The other thing I noted that the default H20...

Accuracy before speed .. and Bartlein barrels are brilliant out the box....

Re: Bad bullet, or something else? My initial response is bullet with one of 3 likely causes. 1. Air bubble in lead plug inside - if it is out to the edge of the bullet it would cause a severe distortion to the stability of the flight and easily wobble and lose more stability and become...

Re: Nightforce 12-42x Benchrest question I have 20 MOA base with 12-42 NP2DD I have my 100 yard Zero about 3 MOA above the lowest scope setting. I do most of my shooting at 600 to 1000 yards and it works - since with 155 gn bullets you need between 25 to 28 moa at sea level ONLY when we...
