    .45-70 Gov't loads for falling block action?

    Re: .45-70 Gov't loads for falling block action? I use Accurate 5744 in my 1885 hi-wall for silhouette shooting. 29gr with 300gr lead, Rem 9 1/2 primers 24.3gr with 405gr lead, Rem 9 1/2 primers. No fillers. 5744 isn't position sensitive. Recoil is light enough to run a 40 rd course without...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Signature Zee rings 30mm

    Anyone looking to get these rings...the wait will be at least another month. Talked to their rep because I couldn't get them anywhere.He said they had changed mfg. locations. Should be starting production in Nov. but maybe longer.

    Rifle Scopes Took the plunge and bought a Vortex

    Re: Took the plunge and bought a Vortex Bought one, too...PST 4-16x50 FFP mil/mil. Love the feel of the turret click. Really positive and tracks beautifully. The only problem I've had is that there is noticeable chromatic aberration from about 10-16x. Sharp edges like a square target spot...

    cci 400 vs rem 7 1/2 benchrest .223

    Re: cci 400 vs rem 7 1/2 benchrest .223 CCI400s cup is about .005" thinner than the Rem 7 1/2. I was using 400s in my .204 and was getting cratering beginning below mid-range published data. Had some fine flow (about .001" thick) into the firing pin hole. Pressures running 40,000 psi + I...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax adjustment question

    Re: Parallax adjustment question Roger that. But it was screwing up how I perceived the reticle parallax. All I know is that once I set the correct focus on the reticle, I could then adjust the parallax knob and not get the problem I first described.

    Rifle Scopes Parallax adjustment question

    Re: Parallax adjustment question Just came across the procedure for setting the diopter adjustment. I was doing it wrong. Once I set it correctly, I no longer have the parallax problem I described. What I was doing was to adjust the diopter while looking at the target. I should have been...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax adjustment question

    Re: Parallax adjustment question Thanks, guys. I'm thinking it's the optics, too. Just wanted to be sure I had the concept right...both cross hairs should "lock in" at the same time if they're on the same plane. Since the reticle is etched, the problem must be an off-center optical component...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax adjustment question

    Re: Parallax adjustment question It's a Millet 6-26x 50. No weapon contact. To be clear, the movement I refer to is the reticle position relative to the target as I move my eye. If I adjust the parallax knob until the horizontal cross hair remains fixed relative to the target, the vertical...

    Rifle Scopes Parallax adjustment question

    I'm new to parallax adjustable scopes, so give me a break on my ignorance. When I adjust for zero movement on the horizontal crosshair, I still get movement on the vertical. It takes some fine tweaking to zero them both out. Is this normal or is there an alignment problem in the optics?

    Targeting dichotomy

    Re: Targeting dichotomy That's got to be a real bummer, especially the green. I have a problem focusing on blue light. Yup, glad it was simple, too. Hate to see her bummed out. Takes all the fun out of shooting. She's a blast to spot for. Just call the range and solution and watch her take...

    Targeting dichotomy

    Re: Targeting dichotomy Haven't heard that one in awhile. Wasn't that they were small, though. Just the fluorescent color. Black dots or white circles were no problem.

    Targeting dichotomy

    Re: Targeting dichotomy Fluorescent orange target dots. They were playing tricks with her eyes. Made up some different targets and she drilled 'em all.

    Targeting dichotomy

    My wife is deadly accurate on small rodents out to 100 yds. 1 shot 1 kill kinda thing. The problem is when she shoots for group on paper, her hits are scattered with no decent grouping. It's the same rifle/scope combo she uses to nail varmints and the same one that will print .250" c-c groups...
