    Spotting Scopes

    What spotting scope do you need to see hits on steel at 1000 yards or more. I don't want to spend more than a 1000 or so and would prefer less but I want something that would work. Thanks

    Yup I found it, under drag table I had G7, at G1 the Hornady and Nikon are very close. But a Sierra HPBT is a G7 correct? Thr hornady asks I entered .611 as Sierra has on their web site. What's the correct answer in these?

    I will look into the Coldbore software for my laptop. Just out of curiosity what does Coldbore show as drop for above 6.5 load at 1000 yards? I would be interested if it matches ether of these other reports. 142 Serra at 2610

    6.5 Creedmoor Load with Alpha Brass

    I'm working up a load for my RPR 6.5 Creedmoor using small primer Alpha brass. I'm using H4350 and 142 Sierra HPBT and 450 primers. Tonight I worked up to 41.2 grains that gave me 2660 fps. The brass shows no pressure issues and I was planning on going on up .3 at a time. What is thought to be...

    6.5 Creedmoor Lapua Brass Primer Issues

    Thanks for the advice. So can I then prime with any small primer tool? Wouldn't all the shell holders for the 6.5 be large primer?

    6.5 Creedmoor Lapua Brass Primer Issues

    I was thinking of getting Lapua brass for my 6.5 creedmoor but the small primer pocket and flash hole has me worried. I have a Hornady press and will buy Hornady dies but how do you prime and deprime with these odd cases? Thanks for any help.
