    Puzzling CBTO Measurement

    Perhaps i misunderstood your question I thought you were determining max CBTO, or the distance to the lands. That measurement from base of cartridge to the ogive for any bullet will be the same. You will see a major difference in seating depth of the different style bullets.

    Puzzling CBTO Measurement

    Yes, at least one of your measurements is incorrect. Load a dummy round using the 2.194 Cbto measurement, put it in the chamber and see if the bolt closes. I usually take measurements until I have four or five in a row all within a thousand of each other.

    Well if I read the PayPal friends and family instructions correctly, you send me a email pay request and I fill it out with card data, I can do that. Maybe an old fart learned something new. Let me know and I’ll pm you my contact info.

    Accessories PVC Data Patches Multi-Cam Gen II

    Just received the two I ordered, thanks OP these are much better then expected, they're great. This isn't a piece of laminated paper with velcro backing, they are a rubber vinyl type material that is thicker then you would think and very flexible with velcro backing. The mounting surface doesn't...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I think your observation is correct in that they try to be safely conservative. However I have a 300WM barrel that is super accurate but it is real hard on the brass and that's using the suggested starting load, so one size does not fit all. I have yet to figure that one out. Start low, work up...

    I'm using one not mentioned so far and really liking it. It's a Knights Armament, a little pricey but came with the DTA when I bought it.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    You won't see an updated guide to address your concerns. Guides are a starting point for safe load development and are based on a specific set of criteria/equipment. There is no way for a guide to consider all the variables involved with reloading and or the equipment being used to fire the...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I use both 4350 and RL 16 and started using the RL16 with a 22” barrel to gain some velocity. So picked up about 100fps while maintaining accuracy. I’m glad I tried it out. Have two loads worked up pushing 140vld’s to 2772 and 2795 FPS.

    whats your favorite anti cant level

    I've used a few different types but for me the KAC anti cant level works the best. I'm able to maintain my cheek/firing position and remain on target and if needed using only eye moment glance down to confirm i'm level. They are small, out of the way and work.

    I got older too, thinned the heard, and restocked with less but much more expense. Remove the pad, insert a bore guide and clean like normal and for me that's about every 200-300 rounds. Also another benefit for us older folks is once you get all the attachments on a DTA it's on the heavy side...

    One scope and barrel zeroed in at 0-0, other barrels use a zero offset.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    A little over a year ago I had the same concerns, I found a member that was near by and he let me shot is DTA and I let him shoot two of my customs. I bought an A1 the next week and now have three conversions for it, two factory barrels and one aftermarket. About accuracy, i'm a descent average...

    Leica 2400 R

    Certainly appreciate your response. Think i'll pick one up, it will definitely be an upgrade and if it doesn't meet my expectations, return and try the 2700.

    Leica 2400 R

    Very interested in the 2400R, time to upgrade from the Kilo. Since most of my ranging is for hunting the Kilo does alright most of the time but not always, hit or miss past 500 yards and sometimes less depending on conditions. The 2400r sounds like it should do better, does anyone have any first...

    I'm by no means a reloading expert but will offer my opinion on a few things. It looks to me like the piece of brass on the left has a few problems, the first is after zooming in on your photo it's easy to see an ejector imprint. The other thing is there is ejector swipe that appears to be made...
