    175 SMK v 178 ELD-M: Length Question - Ogive and Mag Length.

    I'm just starting with my reloading adventure so here' my stupid question for the week... Will the 178gr ELDMs work with a 0.065 jump? The rifle I'm going to load for is a R-700 AAC SD 20" 1:10 w/ a stock barrel and chamber and Wyatt DBM w/ a max coal of 2.88. 2.875 to make sure they will feed...

    QuickLoad request

    Forgive this stupid question but .... what's wrong with the 42.4gr or 42.6gr loads the OP posted? The 42.4 only shows (guessing) 1/4" vertical spread and the .6 slightly more. If this were me would I be wrong to go with that 42.4 load? I'm just getting started loading and trying to understand...

    Best how to book's for reloading

    Thanks for the replies I've got an order in with Amazon for a couple book's. I did watch all of Elfsters vids again and that cleared up several questions.... Thanks Padom. I've got a few more little things to get after that I'm thinking I'll start off with my .308 and keep running factory in...

    Best how to book's for reloading

    I need to expand my library before I get started with this. What book's should I try to find. My search on here returned pretty much every post in the reloading section. I'm looking to reload for PRS not really striving for the ultimate 1/4 moa load. Just want a dependable consistent load for...

    Training Courses First hand experience with 1MOA solutions?

    I'm looking into training classes within a days drive of Phoenix Az. If anyone has taken a class with 1MOA could give a little feedback. Gun sight is the closest but sadly out of my budget for time and price. I wish I could take a week and travel for a class but that' not in the cards. Looking...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I finally got to run my Ares in a club match this weekend. Im' happy to say it did just fine. Shot from 128 out to 1k. The elevation is a little soft but I had no problem feeling the clicks when I dialed without looking ( I did check but only because I didn' trust myself ). The zero stop was way...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    It' the Ares btr 4.5x27 so far so good. Had 4 or 5 stages that had multiple distances and no trouble dialing up or down. Returned to zero fine. I can't complain about either very happy with the RPR glad I went to the 6.5CM

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Well I finally got to run my RPR/Athlon in a club match yesterday. Both worked flawlessly... and I did fair as well. In a 70 round match not one feed issue. Balistic Arc was spot on and not one miss was due to bad DOPE. The Athlon tracked and returned to zero. The reticle is very useable for...

    Gear priority help

    First thanks for the input. right now I'm only able to shoot local PRS matches but do want to start traveling next year. I do plan on buying another case of ammo next payday. With what I've already got on hand that would give me 600+ cases for reloading. I work 2nd shift so when I get out to...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    Quick question for anyone that owns an Ares 4.5-27. I finally got time to mount and zero mine on a RPR 6.5cm in a vortex 1pc mount. After 100 yrs zero I'm left with 14.6 mils up elevation. Enough to get 140ELDMs out to around 1400 (per Sterlok & Balistic arc) Is that what others are seeing for...

    Rifle Scopes $600-$900 budget long range scope

    I just picked up an Ares 4-27. It surprised me. Glass is clear I personally like the floating center and reticle overall. 10 mil turrets zero stop that's easy to set. Illuminated and 850 out the door. It is easy to get behind for me even when I shot from my weak side. Anarchy outdoors has a...

    308 keep it or swap to a 6mm?

    I guess I could have been a little more specific with my question. Is it worthwhile to continue shooting my .308 after making the jump to 6.5? Also is rebarreling with out rechambering a waste of money? My barrel is not even close to burnt out but I would like to tighten up my groups. I...

    308 keep it or swap to a 6mm?

    It's been a while since I've posted on here ... work. But here's the question. I've scrimped, saved, eaten Mac n cheese and top ramen to upgrade my gear. Now I have a new RPR 6.5CM and an Athlon Ares 4x27 new bags and most all of my reloading equipment. Soooo what should I do with my R700...

    adjusting for wind

    Lowlight thanks for that, alot of info and I'll reread it a couple times I'm sure. I do need to keep better notes and use my book correctly. This weekend I was watching the mirage @ appx 300 yrds ( top of the berm ) looked like it was L-R @ 2 oclock ( not quite a 45) witch I put at 4-6 mph I...
