    Rifle Scopes question about range estimation

    Re: question about range estimation OP: 10x is just the best of what they had when sniping as we know it today really started to get off the ground. A fixed powe scope is also generally more rugged than one with more moving parts and gives you better glass for the money. Triceratops, you...

    Rifle Scopes question about range estimation

    Re: question about range estimation What the heck have you been reading?? It's not "easier" to range at 10x. Like said above, the magnification power where the reticle is set up to be accurate is where you want to range at. If your scope reticle is on the second focal plane, this means...

    Rifle Scopes reticle choice for hunting

    Re: reticle choice for hunting To PGS and Graham, do you guys actually range game with your mildot scopes? I would love to do this for deer but was under the impression that there was a lot of variances in size which would make for a lot of error. How far are you comfortable shooting an...

    Rifle Scopes Please, for the love of God, stop...

    Re: Please, for the love of God, stop... This really annoys me as well. It also really annoys me when people USE ALL CAPS, AS SAID ABOVE. Especially when they do it in all of their posts, it's so obnoxious and I always just skip their entire post. Two other things I should get off my...

    Pics Of My .308 Rem700 Scope Came Today!

    Re: Pics Of My .308 Rem700 Scope Came Today! Congratulations. I'd appreciate it if you would take it to the range and show us how it shoots with factory ammo. I might pick up a tactical soon, I just have to decide how much to sell my SPS Sporter version for.

    Gunsmithing Polishing cocking ramp on a 700

    Re: Polishing cocking ramp on a 700 Thanks for the input guys. I was just looking to see if the modification was a common thing. I'll just keep it polished and lubed. I thought it would be mostly broken in by now, a I have probably fired it 100 times, dry fired it just as much and worked...

    Rifle Scopes Bought Nikon scope, but having second thoughts...

    Re: Bought Nikon scope, but having second thoughts... Although the quality of the scope is good, the main thing you will be missing out on is tactical turrets IMO. That's one of the reasons I crossed it off my list. If you only want to use the mil-dots for hold overs this will be ok, but if...

    Rifle Scopes Bought Nikon scope, but having second thoughts...

    Re: Bought Nikon scope, but having second thoughts... Hey OP, those scopes get great reviews, but they are really not set up for long range or "tactical" shooting. They are more of a hunting scope with a few options, as shown by the mil-dot but no turrets. I was really thinking of getting...

    Gunsmithing Polishing cocking ramp on a 700

    My 700 bolt opens a little rougher than I like and I suspect it is altering my NPA every time I load a new round. This is only an issue if the trigger has been pulled. I was looking for some ways to lessen this force and found a few mentioning polishing this area. I saw others saying you can...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Thanks. I kind of like doing it the old fashioned way to be honest . I know it's slow, but it seems like it might be accurate enough, and I don't have the money to shoot tons of ammo anyway. I also like having all of my stuff as small and...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Well I made a batch of 9 rounds. I discovered that I may need to hammer more firmly to seat the round fully. Basically I thought I had a seatng depth of 2.925 set since that's what y dummy round came out to, and that no matter how much I...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Thanks for your tips. I primed 9 of my cases today and will load them with powder and seat bullets tomorrow. I will go to the range soon after and shoot 3 3-round groups. (I know people say 5 is better but 3 3-rounders should be fine to...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Yes I think I'm following you. Basically if I pick a OAL I can use the starting load and gradually increase it looking for signs of pressure. If I change my seating depth, I had better start over at a starting load and slowly work up again...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety I'l look into the gold match as well lumpy. Thanks for the suggestion I wasn't sure what everyone was referring to on this site by FGMM.

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Jig Stick, according to your process it would seem you are completely comfortable using a starting load even when the bullet is jammed. That pretty much answers my original question. If I seat what I believe to be .02" off the lands, using a...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety No problem Lumpy, thanks for trying to help me! I wasn't sure if you read it or if I was explaining something wrong. The rifle is a rem 700 SPS Sporter barrel version in .308. It has a Bushnell 3200 Tactical 10x mounted with an EGW 20 MOA...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety Lumpy, did you read my OP? I am not having pressure issues... I was asking questions on seating depth and overpressure before I begin reloading. The cases I just measured average less than 2.01". Like I said they are once fired and I don't...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety I have no experience with a case gauge. As I said I do not size or trim my cases, just neck size. Maybe after firing them a few times I would need to, but most people don't with this system. The empty cases feel fine when closing the bolt...

    First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety

    Re: First time reloading: Seating Depth and Safety I was planning at first to adjust the seating for accuracy using the starting load so I think I will do that. lumpy, what do you mean how am I confirming? I am using dial calipers to measure OAL. Using the method above I believe that a AOL...
