    Rifle Scopes Scope Advise (Desert Tech SRS)

    At this point I’d be really happy to hit a mile with my 338 but I’m always pushing myself to get better, faster, smarter, stronger. Once upon a time I never thought 1,000 would be doable but I’ve done it and now have new goals. My local range though is just under 1,000 yards so I’ll have to...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advise (Desert Tech SRS)

    When looking at new or used, how much emphasis should I put on internal elevation? Just my thought process is having as much as possible to reach out as far as possible but then again, just because my scope can get there doesn’t mean I can make the rifle get the bullet there.

    I plan to run the 6.5 creedmoor for the bulk of my shooting and 338 Lapua.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advise (Desert Tech SRS)

    I’m actually a fan of the Vortex product but one of the reasons I’m thinking about leaving the scope on the RPR is because of the “burnt bronze” color looks terrible on a new brown FDE rifle. I know it’s first world problems but.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Advise (Desert Tech SRS)

    I’m moving up in the gun quality world and should probably move up in the scope world as well. I just purchased a Desert Tech SRS because of having so much fun with my RPR I’d like to shoot even further. When I bought my SRS I planned on moving my Vortex Razor Gen 1 from my RPR to the new gun...

    Thank you. I'll do another test at 39.7, 40, and 40.4 and work on finding a decent range to shoot 300 yards to test.

    Had a good day of loading and playing with my lab radar. I’m thinking my 40 grain group is what I want to use to load for this rifle as the last few times my 40 grain group has been pretty good. What are your thoughts @nn8734

    This is what I’m basically doing but with a different primer. What should I use for charge weights on my next test loads?

    I appreciate you bringing this up because with all the research I’ve done on recipes for this rounds I’ve found loads more inline with what you’re saying. My issue is the website (Hodgdon) says max load was 40.0 so I didn’t want to push past that. With that being said I saved my cases that I...

    my local range is 100 and the best to shoot at. Our 300 yard range has a bunch of knuckle heads who shoot your targets for you when you set them up

    “Beginner” Reloading Help

    A question I have is how should I try to reload my next test. My max OAL is limited to 2.830 due to the magazine and I’m using H4350 140 Gr Hornady bullets. This was done with my charge weight from left to right at 39.2, 39.4, 39.6, 39.8, 40. Also, on this batch i loadedthe first two rounds...

    I do want to try a different bullet by either Barnes or Sierra and get away from the Polymer tip.

    Yes, if I measure with my OAL gauge it will not fit in the magazine. My initial plan was to measure then load my rounds so I was about .020 off of the lands but the magazine had other thoughts about that

    “Beginner” Reloading Help

    I did measure the OAL and am well up against the magazine. I forget what the exactlength is but it’s a significant jump, that’s why I just focused on the magazine which is 2.830 I think. (Without checking notes)

    I have that and that’s what I use. I’m going to try switching to Federal primers as I think they are a little softer than the Winchesters.
