    New spotter: Helion 2 XP50 or?

    All good points. I currently do have a lower res spotter but since I spend 99% on the spotter I wanted to up the quality a little bit. I currently have a helmet set up with white phos binos that I use to drive into the locations and walk to the set. So unfortunately no helmet mounted thermal...

    New spotter: Helion 2 XP50 or?

    Looking to upgrade my spotter this year and then my scope next year. Currently looking at the Helion 2 XP50. Is there anything else I should look at and consider at the same price point?

    Cant get good SD/ES with Lite barrel

    I’m going to see what’s under 37.2 as well. Slightly slower than a want the MV but if the accuracy is better and more consistent then that may be the way I end up

    Cant get good SD/ES with Lite barrel

    Brass is going to go quick but truthfully it’s not a huge concern of mine for the limited use this rifle will get. Although it’s limited, I still want it as accurate as possible, like we all do I’m sure

    Cant get good SD/ES with Lite barrel

    Re-shot it round robin style. Waited 5 mins between shots in 35 degree weather. Roughly the same SD/ES for each group (SD:15ish. ES:30ish). 38.7 and 39 have pretty similar POI. So I may load some more up between there to continue testing.

    Sad day on the reloading bench

    I believe a 5 gallon bucket full of 40 brass is 6kish? Does that match your powder usage?

    Cant get good SD/ES with Lite barrel

    Honestly, that really stood out to me as well. Usually I can get several firings before I need to trim again. The Lapua brass has been fired 2 times so far.

    Advanced Marksmanship The "Lightbulb" Moment With Respect To Home Range Data

    I do the same but if the targets are staggered left side and right side then I will slightly offset the numbers as well. IE (the dots are only so the website text box on here will let me have the format spaced): .....400 - yrd date ..............................315 - yrd data 200 - yrd data

    Straight Jacket Armory

    It’s been a few years for me but service was good the last time I bought an action and barrel from them. They even fixed one issue in short time as well
