    Rifle Scopes Horus h59 vs Bushnell G2DMR

    I also have the ERS/G2 and it makes holding over/holding off very easy.

    what powder best works on loading rounds for Swedish M41B Sniper Rifle 6.5x55

    Masood, You might attract more attention in the Vintage Sniper, or one of the reloading sub-forums. However, I load 6.5x55 for both the M96 Mauser and for my Tikka T3. Most people will tell you that Reloader 22 is the "go to" powder for this caliber, especially when shooting 139/140 grain...

    Range Report Someone's input on velocity estimation. Is my barrel that fast, or is Strelok that bad off

    Run it through a chronograph. Edit: I'm not trying to be a smartass, but you've got a custom rifle, Nightforce scope and you're handloading with some of the most expensive bullets one can buy. I think it's time, man!;)

    Range Report Someone's input on velocity estimation. Is my barrel that fast, or is Strelok that bad off

    I don't have all your info, but I ran some numbers, the best I could, through Strelok, based on what you posted above. Using a velocity of 2750 and a 200 yard zero, I get 8.46 MOA drop. If I keep the scope at a 100 yard zero and use the 2870 you posted above, it shows 8.96 MOA drop. I'm sure...

    6.5CM, Issues with 140 AMAX in 8 Twist Edit: Bad Lot of AMAX

    I came across this thread last night and had to run and check the lot number of the bullets I just bought. Sure enough, they are lot #2130191. So, I loaded up a batch of five rounds before going to bed and I tested them this morning. This load usually shoots one hole groups in the .2s and .3s...

    First time reloader- .223 Tikka T3 lite

    My wife has a T3 Lite in .223. We're running the Hornady 68gr BTHP Match bullets over 23.5gr Benchmark. I forget the COAL at the moment, but I know I routed out the front wall of her mags just a little bit to get a little better length. You'll probably never get anywhere near the lands if you're...

    Anyone know if they have plans for LA/.300WM size?

    Range Report Nosler Ballistic Tip vs. A-MAX 308 Win

    Sorry to say, but the only way you will know the answer to these questions is to try them all in your rifle. Every rifle is different. For example, my .308 is a Savage 10FP. My buddy has the exact same rifle. His shoots the SMK better than mine. For my rifle, the A-Max will shoot better than the...

    So how'd I do. M1903 at 100 yards

    Cool. My 03-A3 loves 168s (actually shoots pretty well with anything I've put in it), but I haven't tried 155s. Looking forward to your next report.

    So how'd I do. M1903 at 100 yards

    If I may ask, what's your load? Guessing 168 or 178 A-Max?

    So how'd I do. M1903 at 100 yards

    +1 For iron sight testing, I'll take a plain, white piece of paper and spray paint a black spot on it, about 2-4" in diameter (depending on lighting conditions for the session). The contrast helps to get a consistent sight picture and it's dirt cheap, too. I'm also a firm believer in holding...

    So how'd I do. M1903 at 100 yards

    Don't take this the wrong way, but I think that gun wants to group better than what you're currently getting out of it. In both photos, I'm seeing what I would call "mini groups", with the latest photo showing two such groups where two shots are overlapping. My hunch is that it's either your...
