    Rifle Scopes NXS Help!---I'm a NF newb.

    Re: NXS Help!---I'm a NF newb. I used shooter's choice for the first 10 shots and 10 cleanings. I used that instead of wipe out because I wanted to use a nylon brush for some physical action. Then I shot 3 and cleaned with wipe out with their accellerator to see if it'd pick anything...

    Re: NXS Help!---I'm a NF newb. Done! Thanks Treebasher!! I might adjust things again. Yesterday I did the barrel break in procedure shooting on my .260 on FN SPR action. No pics yet as I was trying to get through twenty rounds before dark! Not a speck of blue on any patch with all...

    Rifle Scopes NXS Help!---I'm a NF newb.

    I have a quick but simple question on my new NF 5.5-22 w/ zero stop. I'm not setting the zero stop yet I just want to move my turrets to zero the knobs. I read the manual it says to loosen the allen screw 1.5-2 turns so that you turn the knob freely without changing your setting. Well I...

    Odessa FV 200yd F-Class Results (July 4th/5th)

    Re: Peru NY 300yds V is similar to X count. Basically the X or V ring is a smaller bullseye within the bull and only count for tie breakers as they both score the top point value on the target. Both are 5's on a target with a V, (or 10's on a target with an X ring) a 185-7v will lose...

    Most accurate powders for the 22-250

    Re: Most accurate powders for the 22-250 My load has always been with BallC2. It just happened to be the first powder I tried and the routine 1/2" to 3/4" groups in a factory M700 varmint with a 6-24x B&L scope was just dandy. I always intended to try IMR 4064 but never got around to it...

    Loads for .260 /.243/ 6.5x47/6.5 Creedmoor

    Re: Loads for .260 /.243/ 6.5x47/6.5 Creedmoor I second the request to break out each cartridge into it's own page. There are enough of these posts that guys leave out what cartridge they are shooting and you have to know your components to read along. (Ie. knowing Hornady doesn't make...

    .260 Bushings...

    Re: .260 Bushings... good point on the different micrometers. Mine is old and had been dropped! Really only care about the ability to get 0.001 to 0.002 smaller than loaded and not so much needing to know the exact number. My chamber was cut with a standard .260 reamer from PTG and not a...

    reloading for friends

    Re: reloading for friends Yup, I have to agree. If they haven't laid a hand in the process then you own the liability. I had a mechanic at work wanting me to load up some weatherby loads for him because he didn't want to pay $80 a box. I offered to help him load them up if he bought the...

    .260 Bushings...

    Re: .260 Bushings... Well my rifle is almost done so I haven't reloaded any .260 yet. I did measure my loaded rounds of Black Hills .260 with 139 grain Lapua in RP brass. They measured .289 OD. My bushings on hand are .289 and .288 and I'll use the .288 bushing.

    flushcup or not to flushcup

    Re: flushcup or not to flushcup I'm curious on a little more discussion on this. IIRC there was some complaints on the newer uncle mike's QR cup swivels. TIS slings used to come with the older more robust Uncle mikes. I ordered a pair from Brownells that had some heavy duty cup type...

    Redding Competition Seating Die worth it for....

    Re: Redding Competition Seating Die worth it for.... It's handy if you often change bullet brands/types. Record your settings in your reloading log and just dial it back in. This is what I do.
