    Rifle Scopes Good deals to be had on new NF scopes?

    NF has a strict advertised price policy not a sell price policy. Make some phone calls.

    F T/R Competition Berger 215's

    I was going to try them in one of my barrels, but I really don't have the freebore to run them. I actually have a box I am going to sell if you are interested. A couple of guys I shoot with have used them with mixed success. One shot a clean at 600 yds with them. If you aren't on top of your...

    155 or 185 for 308 to 1k

    2730 fps for a 185 is a good goal. It will keep you at mach 1.2 at 1000 in just about any altitude at any temp. If you don't think you will shoot at a lower altitude or in cold temps, run JBM and see what it says to stay at 1.2 at your altitude and temps.

    When to use an expander mandrel; is it even necessary?

    Thanks. Makes perfect sense.

    When to use an expander mandrel; is it even necessary?

    Isn't the turning mandrel larger than the expander mandrel?

    Unorthodox methods that work for you

    Have you tried a Lee collet die? It does a nice job of this in one step.

    Alliant 2000MR

    I have shot probably 30 lbs of that powder. I got the best accuracy and the lowest sd around 45.5 to 46.5 grains with Berger 185 OTM in a 30" barrel, F/TR gun. Velocities were 2725 to 2825 ish. It will produce some impressive velocities. It is quite a bit more temp sensitive than Varget. I...

    Picatinny Anti Cant Mount

    Clear View Levels If you want precision, this is it. They test them a surface plate and calibrate the bubbles. It doesn't fold up.

    F T/R Competition F T/R build sequence question.

    If you spring for a NF Comp, you won't go wrong. You could sell it and lose very little money if you didn't like it, which is not likely. It is also light and won't eat into your overall weight allowance much. I would go Ken Farrell or NF Ultralight rings. The used NXS would be a good...

    F T/R Competition F T/R build sequence question.

    Do you have any 600 yd F Class matches near you? I would get a rear bag and go shoot it just like it is with your Harris bipod. Start shooting some matches. Look at other shooter's rifles. They will likely let you get behind their rifles and maybe even shoot them. Ask questions about...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 12-42 NP-1RR, thoughts?

    I certainly agree.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 12-42 NP-1RR, thoughts?

    Subtends to scale at 22. It has an "R" there. The NP-1RR doesn't have hash marks. It sounds like you might be describing NP-R1 reticle which has 1 moa hash marks on the vertical stadia and 2 moa hash marks on the horizontal stadia.

    Redding T7 and Lee Collet die setup

    No matter how much force you put on it, it will only reduce the neck to a certain size. Whatever force it takes to achieve that is all you can use. After that, all the extra force is doing nothing put damaging your shit. Measure a neck od or id. Put in the collet die. Measure it again...

    Need some insight on loads with light ejector marks/swipe on hotter days.

    It is just creating more head space which isn't needed and isn't a good thing. You don't want to size your brass and move your shoulders .005". Moving them .001" - .002" is better. I sometimes body size new brass, but usually I don't even do that. I trim it, chamfer it inside and out, load it...
