    Rifle Scopes NF atacr vs minox ZP5

    I've shot the Minox zp5 MR4 and MR5 reticle 5-25 with our shilen barreled ar10s pretty extensively. Pretty darn awesome scope. The glass is as good as any S n B without any tunneling issues. Minox is NOT daylight bright illumination. Not at all. Turrets are good. Not best. But workable. Never...

    What is the perfect 3 caliber setup?

    223 wylde 75 grain pills just over 3000 fps. And 6mm Comp match 115s just over 3100 fps. And 6.5 saum 135 grains at 3000~ This is our setup. Covers most all the bases. Comp match can be subbed by any of the 6mm wildcats. As can the saum. 6.5 284 norma. Or 260 AI.

    Scott Parker Beam Scale or high end digital balance

    Fx120i. It is so much less stressful than beam scale. No fretting on a kernel here and there. Fx120i is where it's at hands down.

    What is the best 243 brass?

    I was told Norma's primer pocket outlasts the lapua.

    Not all rifles will shoot a boat tail bullet ????

    I found that ours in 7.77 twist like it fast 75 grain pushed to 3100. Shot like crap under that. It's the low tip of the fast node. Slow node is well under 2920. For the 75 grain Amax. Like spife said. Another manufacturing co will have their bullet built differently. So things will be...

    Muzzle velocity question???

    To answer number 3. Even when everything is perfect it won't be. Your barrel will have nodes. Pockets of velocity where the barrel 'likes' to be shot at. When you shoot a ladder for visual you will see the nodes flatten out vertically and will be side to side of one another. You will be able to...

    case mouth chamfering

    Agreed with both posters above. Any VLD chamfer tool will get er done. Just a quick twist around the rim and ur good to go go U should not see any additional biting on ur bullet jacket. Hopefully your neck tension isn't crazy tight.

    Pressure signs after annealing?

    Is it a new barrel? Maybe it sped up and your out of your node.

    Benchmark

    From a linear algebraic approach. The answer is 22.24 grains to go 3000 fps if 25.2 gives you 3400.

    What is your favorite barrel contour and why ?

    MTU. cause I've been taught to keep spare parts for my truck handy. Med Palma is nice but there's something to be said about the stiffer barrels.

    Any good loading data for 223/5.56?

    75 grain Amax 25.1 gr IMR 8208 XBR. Just under 3100 fps. SDs in the 5s. With 26 inch barreled rock creek. Bolt gun. Please don't put that in ur gas gun. It'll go boom the wrong way.

    Looking for 223 Trainer build advise

    Sell ur 6.5. Buy a TL3 shouldered 6.5 creed or whatever for Comp and pay for a 223. Same contour and length. Same concept at the above poster but instead of blowing out ur creed barrel shoot 223. Same scope trigger weight chassis. Easy. Cheaper than 2 guns ever would be

    Issues with Shoulder Bump in Custom Whidden FL Dies

    Be careful. Too much left unsupported may cause your webbing to stretch through each firing. Had it happen with my 6mm Comp match that wasn't.

    Gunsmithing 6x47 Reamer Question

    We shoot a 115 JLK. Similar in bearing surface to the 110 if I 'member. We run a 120 freebore. But we're jumping only .020.

    Rifle Scopes Bump for choice made/update in last post: Specific scope choice question related to "older eyes"

    I run my scopes around 12x for most everything I'm doing. Whether it's PRS or target shooting. I would think I'd hunt the same. Eye box is nice and forgiving and reticle is there and usable in my FFP. Mine goes to 29x but I'm never there FOV waayyy too narrow. Hope you find something that suits...

    Digital scales vs. Balances

    I used a balance beam scale. An old Redding one. It did the job. Then I got the AnD Fx120i with an auto trickler. Life became more accurate and extremely less stressful to get great quality loads. You get what u pay for here. This has allowed me to make ammo that when shot in the node has sd...

    Larger Rear Bag

    I really like the SAP short action precision lightweight bag. I love that it clips to my chassis but it doesn't have to. http://wiebad.mybigcommerce.com/sap-lightweight-bag/ weighs nothing too.

    I want to shoot .223 at 750-1000 yards.

    I have a TL3 in a MPA chassis. Only cost me $700 for a shouldered 223 wylde barrel and I have a 223 gun. Cheapest way to have a competition gun and training gun. And a hunting pencil barrel gun. And a f class gun. And a 2 mile single feed gun. They all cost $700. And SAME SCOPE. ULTIMATE CHEAP...
