    Re: 69 gr SMK VS. Nosler Nearly identical results between SMK and the Nosler CC's in my RRA 20" Varmint. I just look for whichever is cheaper.

    .223 reloading- help me decide...

    Re: .223 reloading- help me decide... I would also recommend the 69/68 grain bullets for a one size fits all in your guns. If it were me I would be tempted to try the 75 Amax in the bolt gun and something else in the AR's since the Amax won't mag feed.

    18' 1-8 twist W.O.A. AR in .223 loads

    Re: 18' 1-8 twist W.O.A. AR in .223 loads My standby go-to load is 25g Varget with 69smk or 69 Nosler CC. Working on a load with 8208xbr which meters much better than Varget. So far 24.1g looks promising. I've never had good luck with the Hornady 75 BTHP's in MY rifle which is...

    Rifle Scopes Which one IOR or NightForce?

    Re: Which one IOR or NightForce? Have you checked to see if IOR can switch out the BDC turret for a std mil or moa turret? The size and power range (2-12)seem perfect for an SPR role.

    possible barrel change, need advice

    Re: possible barrel change, need advice If you decide not to re-barrel I would try increasing your load a bit. I know the data on 8208 xbr is a bit limited but nearly everyone reports having to go near max or over to get good accuracy. Your load seems a bit low but I don't know what brass...

    Rifle Scopes Question regarding MIL adjustment

    Re: Question regarding MIL adjustment It sounds like you are describing the secondary impact indicator. It can be set anywhere on the dial as a quick reference. IE- 500 yards or something you commonly dial to.

    Rifle Scopes What do you think of this coming soon @799.00?

    Re: What do you think of this coming soon @799.00? The FFP makes this scope directly comparable to the SS 1-4 which gets great reviews. Where SWFA prices its new SS 1-6 will have a big effect on how well the new PST sells.

    Rock River Varmint in .223?

    Re: Rock River Varmint in .223? Another 20" RRA Varmint here. I love it but I wish I would have gotten the predator pursuit. The Varmint is a bit front heavy for offhand work.

    Please advise: another very first hand load workup

    Re: Please advise: another very first hand load workup Remember that the Win brass will have a different internal volume so your ideal powder charge will likely change.

    Re: SPS Varmit w/ LTR barrel? I have seen the SPS LTR before. Looked at it when I got my aac-sd. Guys at the shop really didn't know anything about it. Same trigger as the tac line.

    Reloading in a garage

    Re: Reloading in a garage My reloading set up is in a detached garage. No problems other than a little cold at times. Never really gets that hot in Western WA. May need to take some precautions for moisture though.
