I'll start by saying I've not shot past about 500 yards. I just got rid of a 700P/McMillan/8.5-25x50 MK4 combo in favor of something a little lighter and a little more fun. I'm putting together a 25wssm AR-15. It's not going to be a LR beast, but it's going to double as my hunting rifle and will...

Re: .458 SOCOM Ballisitics? (Novice quesiton) The SOCOM is not a LR round; it's more comparable to a 45-70 than a 308. It's going to stomp on the 308 for bullet weight and will take down just about anything you want it to. It fits a standard AR-15 platform, and common bullet weights range...

Re: AR15 upper recommendations possibly 6.8 or 6. Hehe... I was having this same debate a while back... ended up with a 25wssm upper instead of either. If you don't want to shoot LR the 6.8 is the way to go. It's way more available than the 6.5G, and availability of ammo, brass, parts...

Re: mini-14 accuracy??? I have a Mini 14... it's a 99% 182xxx that's 28 years old. A detachable magazine semi-auto in Kalifornia (with no jail time) is a VERY GOOD reason to own a Mini 14. That's why I purchased mine. When I found the gun the owner (in Ohio) told me it would shoot 1" and...

Re: Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x24 opinoins If I go with something that's not a scope I'll use the Aimpoint. My only concern with the Accupoint is, as the poster above mentioned, eye relief. Really by the time I'm done I don't think there will be a ton of cost difference to get the Aimpoint and a...

I have a 458 SOCOM upper that will be here in the next couple days. The original plan was to use an Aimpoint Micro on it, but the Accupoints have caught my eye. The main purpose for this rig is bear defense when we're hiking/camping/hunting in the high country. This isn't Alaska, but we do have...

Re: Scope for a 7mm WSSM build Wow... anybody know WTF happened here?

Re: 7mm Bullet Data? Thanks for the info... I'm checking into the SMK and a couple others, mainly due to ogive length. I can handle many of the 140gr bullets and still have good case capacity, but the big issue I'm noticing with the Berger is the loooong nose.

Re: 7mm Bullet Data? That does help... Thanks! The Berger VLD 140gr is just a bit too long, so now I have a POR to start from. Are you sure that's a 140gr VLD by the way? According to Sierra their 150gr MK is .010" or so longer than the Berger, but it appears quite a bit shorter in the...

Re: 7mm Bullet Data? The VLD's are the ones I was after, but I'm .012" too short for their ogive length. I would have taper in the neck... that's why I'm looking at other options. I'm limited to 2.25" and the WSSM case is 1.670". Doesn't leave much, but with the powder volume in the fat...

I'm having trouble finding bullet data on most of the manufacturer sites. I'm trying to find a 7mm bullet in the 120-140gr range, decent (high 400's) BC, with .580" or less ogive length. Am I just not looking in the right places or what? Berger is the only site I've been to out of Hornady...

Re: Scope for a 7mm WSSM build I have been looking at the Elite 6500... from what I can tell it's suitable. Does anybody have experience with this unit? I know they're fairly new, and I've never put my hands on one. I do have an Elite 4200 on one of my bolt guns that is very clear and seems...
