Just in case anyone is interested still, i emailed the customer service agent i was dealing with and he confirmed they passed qc and ready to install on the 6.5-20x. I will be sending mine in within the next couple weeks

I would expect the t29 to be almost identical to the 32 just 3 MOA less on the vertical. Id like to see it to confirm though

I talked to a guy about my 6.5-20 about a week ago. He said the ts-29x1 should be coming out mid march and once it passes qc they are ready to go. I was a little thrown off by the 29vs32 but with the higher magnifications they couldn't get the same hold over values.

Well after being not completely satisfied with the quality of lapua bullets, I decided to give the Berger 185 juggernauts a try. After doing some load development I found my gun likes 43.1 grains of varget the best. Shot three shots right at .35" at 100. I loaded up five rounds to test at 300...

I was wondering what the best order is to process brass that includes neck turning. I have once fired lapua brass. My question is should I decap, stainless tumble, size, trim, neck turn then use a vibratory tumbler? That is the best order I can think of but I really have no experience with...

Looks like a good video, hopefully somebody posts a short review after they ship.

I asked the same thing about my vx3 long range. Identical to my other mark 4 just a year older and they said it couldnt be done. At this point id be happy with just a reticle swap to make it moa/moa but of course they dont have that yet either....

I have to see this

Thanks for the input guys I was worried I was going too close to the shoulder from the Forster directions but I think I will take your suggestions. I will practice on some more cheap brass before I move onto my lapua stuff.

I made my first attempt at neck turning today using the attachment for my Forster trimmer. I ruined two cases before getting the hang of it. The brass measured between .016-.014 so I trimmed to .014. This was all crap Remington brass that I figured was good for practice.

I have a rock chucker II, but that's what i've loaded straight ammo on as well. I will check the shell holder and pull apart the die to check for obstructions. I am going to borrow a friends redding seater to see what happens as well.

I have been doing load development with the 185 Berger long range bt and I'm getting excessive run out. I'm using virgin lapua brass and a forester seater. I have loaded 155 scenars with the same setup and have a few stray bad ones. Not the case today, almost every round was between .004-.005"...

A 1/12 should have no problem with 175 smk, I havent got to shoot the 185 yet but according to Brian litz bullet profile on them and bergers recommendation of 1/12 or faster I would say they will be fine

I really like mine, action is great. My only gripe is that the factory bedding job is terrible, once I rebedded it shot alot better. I first worked up a load for 155 scenars but ive decided to switch to 185 bergers so im in load development mode again.

You are correct
