    How do you do your bulk? Powder question.

    Re: How do you do your bulk? Powder question. Like alot of others - use Dillon 550 for 45 ACP. For rifle - worked up a load with TAC for 5.56 and use a Harrell thrower. I can dump them right into case and never see over a .2 to .3 spread. Probably could do the same with the 231 for the 45...

    Rifle Scopes Looking at IOR Valdada 3.5x18x50 moa/moa any input

    Re: Looking at IOR Valdada 3.5x18x50 moa/moa any input A friend of mine just picked one up & really likes it. The crosshairs are a little heavy for me - think IOR needs to have them just a little finer. Other than that - good scope.

    Re: Ballistic FTE Second chance-WHY??? Been using Ballistic FTE and BulletFlight - maybe 0.1mil between the two and about the same with data from either and actual POI with both. IMO - close enough.

    Rifle Scopes Moa or mil adjustments question

    Re: Moa or mil adjustments question The zero stop would be the higher consideration. You can get "lost" on the turrets in a match. The finer adjustments will get lost in the wind. Once you can out shoot the wind; then worry about 1/8" adjustments.
