Vendors have been getting the Berger 6.5 140 VLD Hunters instock. I bought about 1000 of them in place of the Hybrid Targets. As of this posting Powder Valley has these instock: https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/product/berger-264-6-5mm-140-gr-hntg-vld/ I did a 20 round test using the same...

I have been looking for Berger 6.5 140 Hybrids for the last year. I am down to my last 74 rounds. They are the best bullets I got for shooting 6.5 Creedmoor to a mile. I use Hornaday 140's for 1000 yards and in. But the Hybrids shine way past that in terms of consistency with an avg of 2830 fps...

Got out to 2200 yards today! I built a 6.5 Creedmoor load using a Berger 140 Target Hybrid pushing around 2800fps. I had to hold 41 mils of elevation to get out here. With the Schmidt and Bender I maxed out my turret to 26 mils, and pulled the magnification back to 10x to get as many mil...

And of course Ian has his review up! Ordered mine, hopefully will be in by next week or so.

https://www.swiftandboldpublishing.co.uk/the-green-meanie-l96a1/ I picked up Mr. Hougton's prior book "British Sniper a Century of Evolution" a year ago. It is fantastic reference material into British Sniper Rifles, their uses, doctrine, accessories and development up to the current Accuracy...

I have one for my AI AT. The stock AT trigger was heavier than the one on my AE MK1 and I wanted it a bit lighter. The only thing I did was take out a little more of the initial over travel of the first stage so it was right up against the second stage. I probably 1500+ rounds through, and...

Its 95 degrees in the middle of October. My state is on fire as usual. But I would say it was a good day.

I had seen that AB Garmin and was looking into it. I know you don't get all the weather capability of a full on kestrel, but I like the easy of carry and form factor are pretty convenient. It can also work with the BDX3000. How would such an item do in a unknown distance field match?

The Hornady 4DOF was my first Kestrel because the entry price on introduction was hard to beat. I also use 140 ELD-Ms almost exclusively. Its been accurate from 1000 yards to 1 mile when set up right. But I just switched over to the 5700 Elite. The reason was for more options of Laser Range...

Finally upgraded my AI ATs glass. I was running a NF F1 3.5-15 for close to a decade on my old AE and transferred it to my AT when I got it last year. Decided to finally upgrade the glass. Shout out to the guys in the optics sale forum. They been having great deals on Schmidt and Benders for the...

Looking to also try out the Berger 140 Hybrids. So far I have been using 140 ELD-M, I have been using 41.5 (max book), Lapua SRP Brass (5x fired), 205M out of my Accuracy International AT 24" stock barrel. I avg 2750s with single digit SDs. Works great at 1100 and just as good at a mile. I...

So far i had been lucky with the wind having been there 3x now. But shooting in the wind we had last weekend, man thats like playing the lottery.

That range is fantastic isn't it? Did you try for the 10x10 diamond steel at 1013y? There are also 12" plates all over the place at varying distances. I have an AI AT in 6.5 and it took me about 3 to 4 shots to make the hit on the diamond. After getting my Kestrel trued up, hitting everything...

Well finally committed and bought my AT in 6.5 Creedmoor. Been running Hornady American Gunner 140, Match 140 ELD and Match 147 ELD. The American Gunner had a huge SD of over 20 where the 147 had the smallest SD around 10.7. The Match 140 ELD was kinda all over the place. I pretty well have...

I went from a Savage 308 10 HS Precision to a Accuracy International AE MK 1, 8 years ago. I can't go back to anything less. But I am finally looking to move to an AT in 6.5 this year.
