    Rifle Scopes March Scopes - Your thoughts?

    Re: March Scopes - Your thoughts? I have 3 F Class matches coming up in the next few weeks. I've mounted the March on my Spencer rifle for right now while I am waiting for my new rifle to be completed. I took my Nightforce off, so we'll see how the March does. I'll come back with a report...

    Rifle Scopes March Scopes - Your thoughts?

    Having been a Nightforce guy for a long time (F/TR Class), I recently picked up a March Tactical 10-60x52 w/MTR-1. I am mounting it on my new rifle build soon. I went with the March because I needed to lose weight as I was bumping the F Class TR weight limit of 18.15 lbs.. I'd like to hear from...

    Chargemaster + straw = greatness

    Re: Chargemaster + straw = greatness Yes, it works better. I recheck all my chargemaster loads on a laboratory scale accurate to .02 grains. The chargemaster charges are plus or minus .06 of a grain or .12 grains variance even though the unit says it is dead on. I don't like a .1 grain...

    FYI: Chargemaster can be re-programmed + New Trick

    Re: FYI: Chargemaster can be re-programmed I like my chargemaster and it is set at factory settings with the straw. It is consistent according to the scale. After I throw a charge, I recheck the weight on a laboratory scale to the .02 of a grain accuracy. The chargemaster is consistently...

    308 with berger 185 BTLR - how long can you go?

    Re: 308 with berger 185 BTLR - how long can you go? That is some long freebore. I also shoot the 185 Berger BTLR and they are awesome. I said goodbye to the 175SMK's a long time ago when I started shooting this bullet. In my rifle, the OAL of my loads are 2.875 and I'm 10 thousandths off. So...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NXS 12-42x56. 100 Yard Zero Question?

    Re: Nightforce NXS 12-42x56. 100 Yard Zero Question? Mirage is your friend. 42X works well for me and I shoot in an area that is prone to heavy mirage. I stay at 42x to read the conditions.

    F T/R Competition What is your F/TR load?

    Re: What is your F/TR load? I find that the Varget loads posted here for the Berger 185 BTLR are quite hot as in y'all be careful. I get ejector marks at 41.8 and blown primers above 42 grs. Berger suggests a max load of 41.6 grs of Varget and it is certainly true in my rifle. My load...

    Digital Electronic Scale Recommendation?

    I like to double check my Chargemaster match loads on a separate scale. Currently I am using a Dillon Terminator for the task and it's not a very good scale (constantly drifting and rezeroing). I would like to buy a decent digital electronic scale with readouts to hundreths of a grain instead...

    Re: F-TR Stocks, what are you using? Having a custom stock built now. This A5 has to go. Good for tactical, but not for F Class T/R.

    Here's a 50-shot ladder test for my 700 5R (pics)

    Re: Here's a 50-shot ladder test for my 700 5R (pics) SD of my loads are always in single digits. The load is good. I tried several loads with the rifle. 43.0 of RL15 shot the best. I'm happy to hear that you have a good one.

    Here's a 50-shot ladder test for my 700 5R (pics)

    Re: Here's a 50-shot ladder test for my 700 5R (pics) I had a Remy 5R that shot solid .4's at 100 yards using 43.0 grs. of RL15/Lapua Brass/Fed 210M/SMK 175's. At 600 yards, the rifle sucked, a 2 minute gun at best. I was using a NF NXS 5.5-22 so I had very good optics with Badger mount and...

    Sorting cases by weight --- effect on accuracy?

    Re: Sorting cases by weight --- effect on accuracy? I don't bother weighing. With .308's you have bigger fish to fry than worrying about this. Same with neck turning. If you must weigh... you are better served by measuring case volume and not case weight. You do this by filling the case with...

    Powder measure advice

    Re: Powder measure advice Redding 3BR for Varget and RL15. Throws close, but trickle up the last couple of tenths is the way to go for consistency.

    Need another Drag Bag for 50" bolt gun

    I'm on the hunt for a drag bag for my 50" bolt gun w/optics. I currently have (and really like) a Galati for my current rifle 48" long with 26" barrel, but my new rifle build will not work with that size as it is a couple inches longer. I don't need a bag/mat combo. Mostly interested in a...
