    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Local shop running specials. Trying Aberlour for the first time. Don't shoot, but had to add a splash of water (121 proof burned my tongue) to get the full taste. Might be my next favorite when on sale. McCallan 18 is still too much for my budget ($187 on sale). :(

    Range Report Which Published Berger BCs Are From Predictions Rather than Measurements?

    Michael, I have read and re-read this thread. Is your purpose to get Berger to hire you for BC testing of their products? I really don't understand where you are coming from. If you have the ability to measure BC's do so, then shoot!

    55gr V-Max/Varmint Nightmare - short throat or too much OAL?

    My suggestion is to take the gun to a 'smith for further eval. I have always thought the Wylde chamber was good for up to 62gr bullets at mag length. I can't imagine the ogive of a tipped 55 being closer than that. Again, wait and see if someone else answers as my knowledge is limited. Please...

    55gr V-Max/Varmint Nightmare - short throat or too much OAL?

    Maybe someone with more experience will chime in later. Here are my thoughts. Separate the upper/lower remove BCG and drop a round in the barrel. It should go fully in. No marks on the bullet when removed. It does have marks, throat not long enough. No marks? Check bullet tension as bullet...

    Rifle Scopes Wandering zero. What's the deal?

    BCP could be on to something here, "I've had a couple scopes take a shit and that's how it started". I think you know it too. My test is to give the suspect a sharp rap over the turrets. if it moves the scope is sticky inside. Leupold has good CS.

    270 Bullets

    Thanks for bring to my awareness of the Berger shortage. I have been thinking I should actually do load development this year, but, No.... I can't replace components. Deer will just have to die with adequate loads again!
