    6gt

    DTACs weren't part of my analysis (at the time, they were seemingly less available than berger 109s) - but to do apples to apples - what's the spread between W1 and W2 on your Kestrel, there? To be clear, I'm not saying DTACs are in some way inferior (or any other bullet, for that matter). By...

    6gt

    What's really enlightening is looking at how much of a wind change will push you off a target at a given distance. I don't really care what number I have to dial on the elevation turret (as long as its consistent) - and I've learned not to care what the exact number I have to dial/hold for wind...

    Or... shoot 1000 rounds, and you'll pretty much be there anyway? LOL

    For what it's worth, you actually can have your gunsmith lengthen the throat, if desired, using a throating reamer. Obviously, if you had a .170 FB, you couldn't get to a .120 without setting the barrel back, but going longer is relatively easy.

    ZCO doesn’t keep zero

    I'll say this. Last week, I had a problem with my 5-27... a user induced problem. I dropped a note on Thursday (holiday), and it was responded to and handled in less than 24 hours - parts on the way to me now. (I chowdered a turret lock screw... yes, I'm an idiot)

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    I wonder how much "thermal shift" equals "slap drift"?

    TT and Vortex Gen3 in PRS

    I know which match you were at... LOL. 100yd rimfire benchrest targets are no joke, even at 50 yards. It's been pretty well demonstrated that changing environmental conditions can change the apparent zero of a scope - this thread has one example...

    Yeah, they are... And it depends on how the die works, vs your shoulder bump, too. If you've got a die that uses a neck bushing (or no bushing), and you set the die to only bump .001-.002, you might not be sizing the lower most part of the case... And I've even had this issue w/ SAC...

    Haven't gotten into my 2nd GT barrel, yet, so I haven't seen it there, but definitely seen it with other cartridges - especially when swapping barrels. Basically, the very bottom of the case isn't getting sized down and eventually expands just a bit. The fix for .308 case head size cases is...

    6GT, 25x47, or other?

    I'm also in the "6GT Slow" camp - I run a Berger 108 at 2820 - 35.5-36.0 of H4350. Typically, ES of <= 15, and SD <= 5. Groups routinely .1 mil or better. I'm nowhere near max pressure with that load. Load dev with that combo for me looked like "random charge weight, random seat depth... huh...

    ZCO doesn’t keep zero

    OP - here's the thing. If you're looking for help, ask for the help you want. Your opening post was just a "poor me" complaint. That's what drew the initial heat. Let's say I'm in your boat, and I need some help from the forum. My post looks more like this: ---- Title: Need some help with a...

    spotting misses

    The other side of that coin is - if you don't know them, you don't know if you can trust the info they're giving you, either. There are so many people who just simply don't know how to spot, or interpret what they're seeing - and those people will have you in all kinds of wrong places by...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Staccato C2 or CS

    From the tits down, maybe... From the slide stop up, they're literally the same. The different parts between any "normal" 2011 and a 1911 are: trigger, magazine release, magazine, grip panels and bushings (1911 only), or grip module, screws, and bushings (2011 only). The newer metal grip modules...

    Varget vs N140

    So, N140/N150 for Varget... N550/N555 for H4350... is N160 too slow, or...? The N5xx series powders are double base - just wondering if there's a single base powder equivalent for H4350/RL16?

    Swarovski SLC 15x56

    You can also find the previous generation of the same model for even cheaper - bought mine for $1500 a couple years ago, here on the 'hide - they have a bit more chromatic aberration vs. the current model (they changed lens coatings), but keep up just fine. Most people don't even see CA anyway.

    Wish I had the spare cash at the moment... Great piece of gear and that's a solid price.

    ATS vs ACE muzzle brake

    It's too bad they couldn't roll a Maverick into the testing mix up there in Canadia, eh. I've been running one for a full year, now, in the 5" braked config. It's definitely less recoil reduction than a Sidewinder (or, theoretically, the Hellfire Match, which seems to be roughly same as a...
