    Re: Molycoated vs Non-molycoated fokai_zach, The 80 grain Sierras stabilized in my out of the box .223 Savage with its nine twist. Same for the 75 grain A-Max. They gave about the same accuracy as the 65 JLKs wich was about 1 1/2" at 300 yards. Neither was as accurate as the 55 Noslers in...

    loading program?

    Re: loading program? Loads for a .22-06 would work. Trying to use load for the same case with a much larger bore can certainly cause problems.

    loading program?

    Anyone have a program that can tell us how much powder to use in a case that holds 66 grains to the bottom of the neck. It is a .224. I want to fire 75 grain A-Max at 3,500 to 3,600 feet per second.

    Rifle Scopes I want a new scope!

    Re: I want a new scope! Buckey, The 5-25 is a Z5. The Z6 is like the March in weight; too heavy. I'm just wondering how the compare in light gathering.

    Rifle Scopes I want a new scope!

    Re: I want a new scope! Bucky, That March looks great. I read a review about it and it sounds as good as the Europein scopes with more magnification. But the weight is too much. So far the one that comes closest to what I want is a Swarovski 5-25. At 17 1/2 ounces it is only 1 1/2 over...
