    Rifle Scopes New kahles 525

    I was gonna pick up a 5x25 this week but the whole FOV thing has me backing off. That's a huge issue for me. I'll wait until I can spend some time behind one. I hate feeling like I'm looking through a straw. That's why I love my Hensoldt ........that POW factor never gets old.

    The new 33XC & 37XC cartridges designed by David Tubb

    Jim, are such fast twist rates a result of using solids? Which bullet are you planning on using in yours. I have a 1-8 twist barrel I was planning on using and wondering if its fast enough.

    Most accurate 338 solid projectile?

    Alan, as soon as I get some fired up brass out of this XC I will be sending them off to you to order one of your dies. I have heard great things.

    Most accurate 338 solid projectile?

    I spoke with Warner briefly regarding their Flatlines and they said spin 'em as fast I want, even up to 7 twist. Seemed like quite a bit for a projectile hopefully running 3300-3400 FPS so I went a tad more moderate with the 8 twist. Looks like the Warner bullets will be my first to...

    Most accurate 338 solid projectile?

    I will most likely be staying within supersonic distances, considering how far a .338 solid projectile should be able to fly with the velocity that the XC should be able to push them.

    Most accurate 338 solid projectile?

    I have a reamer on its way for a 33XC and its throated for solids. I have a Bartlein 1-8 barrel that is going to finish out at 32 inches. What solid should I count on to give me the best accuracy results? Solids being as expensive as they are, I dont want to waste a lot of money chasing my...

    The new 33XC & 37XC cartridges designed by David Tubb

    I have a reamer for the .33 being cut by Dave Manson right now which will be throated for the 266 Flatlines. I pick up my Bartlein barrel this weekend to drop off to GAP. I am hoping brass is available by the time I get the reamer. I'll post back in once its shooting.

    PRS Talk Reloading for prs

    I hear people make this argument all the time and it makes no sense to me. Yes, I agree, if I had to pick one or the other, I would take awesome wind reading ability and positional stability and settle for 1 MOA accuracy all day long. But accuracy, wind reading and positional efficiency are not...

    Hands on Origin/Nucleus at SHOT?

    No, thats why I said I am sure it wont affect accuracy, it locked up tight. Just running the bolt it felt flimsy and not precise. I got to finger bang the new Defiance and there was no comparison. Of course it was more expensive as well, so its to be expected. Im just real picky about little...

    Hands on Origin/Nucleus at SHOT?

    I am a big fan of ARC, sadly the Nucleus felt cheap. The bolt was sloppy. Im sure that it probably wont affect accuracy, I just didnt like how it felt.

    6x47L vs. 6 Dasher vs. 6CM

    Don't worry about a Dasher not feeding well. I have 3 Dasher rifles and they all feed as well as any other cartridge I have used. that being said, they have all been Bighorn actions, one TL2, two TL3s. I did after two years of shooting Dashers just add PVA spacer kits to my AICS mags and...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting option for new scope / Hensoldt ZF 3.5-26x56

    So I pulled the trigger on my dream scope, a Henny ZF 3.5-26x56, I couldnt pass up on Eurooptics sale price. Anyways, the main tube is an unusual 36mm. I know a lot of guys use the Era Tac mounts but I prefer rings VS mounts. Anyone have suggestions on a high quality set of 36MM rings?

    New Garmin Foretrex 701 with Applied Ballistics!

    Edited: OK, looks like I got the inconsistencies worked out for the most part. So I'll take it out to the range tomorrow to verify my drop data. I am curious as to why they elected to remove DA input since 99% of the people using the device use DA to input atmospherics. I get a noticeable...
