    Rifle Scopes ZCO Hunter scope at the IWA event

    Given what I’ve seen and read as to IQ on the MK5, I’d take the additional couple ounces and go with the ATACR 4-16x42.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO Hunter scope at the IWA event

    I’d love ZCO to offer something like 3-18/20x range with 44-50mm objective weighing in this 25-28oz range under 13.5” long while maintaining outstanding image quality, low light performance, and outstanding DOF & parallax forgiveness like they’ve done in the 5-27x. I love my ZCO 5-27x56 and...

    Garmin is also heavily in the aeronautical space (ie airplanes) so I know who I trust.

    Rifle Scopes 36mm scope ring options

    I’ve got the ARC rings but if ZCO would have included a built in level I’d buy them and sell the ARCs as I don’t like how the ARCs engage the rail via the round bolt shank vs rectangular lug built in with all other rings. Haven’t had problems but doesn’t inspire confidence in my mind as to...

    Help: Berger bullet seating depth, distance to lands???

    After all the input from this forum and LRH forum, I did the Eric Cortina approach with a hard jam. Found those measurements to be very close to my original measurements (just a bit longer as you would expect from a hard jam). Will back this off about -0.015" as a starting point for max CBTO...

    Help: Berger bullet seating depth, distance to lands???

    Not completely "loose" but with very little neck tension. Enough to allow the bullet to push further into the case when it touches the lands but not so much tension that it jams it. Likely not the most precise/repeatable approach as you can see from the variation I was seeing in all the...

    Help: Berger bullet seating depth, distance to lands???

    Not the same exact bullet but I do measure the ogive length of the bullet and have it recorded and all the bergers I have used to measure the CBTO have all been within 0.001". However, the last set of measurements I did between the 'loose bullet' method and WHEELER method were done using same...

    Help: Berger bullet seating depth, distance to lands???

    Guys, my distance to lands is driving me nuts. I'm an engineer so the details and precision are something I can't let go off and I'm off deep into the rabbit hole. Would appreciate some perspective. Have a GAP 280AI and had been measuring distance to lands every couple hundred rounds or so...

    Ive started OCW testing with 180g Berger VLD Hunting. Powder nodes look promising at 56.7g and 57.6g so now need to do seating depth testing to see how tight I can get the groups. Velocities in my 1/8.7 twist 24" Bartlein were 2850fps at 56.7g, 2900 at 57.6g. I had stepped powder charges in...
