    Trekking poles-yes or no?

    I use them hunting. If you have to pack alot of weight, or go up/down nasty steep shit, they kick ass. They are cheap and light. Most the time they are collapsed in my pack, then out they come, and up I go.

    Can someone help me understand 6mm fandom?

    I have, and do shoot .22 and 6mm in competition. I like speeds at 3k or under for barrel life, recoil, spotting misses, and ease of loading. I get far more feedback from a 105 than a 88, past 800 yards. I am not against a 6.5 either, but shoot with a can, and lower recoil is the king. Any way...

    6mm BRA

    I have the number #1 .268 neck. Get the .272 neck out the gate, turning necks is for the birds. I sent my reamer back and had it ground with a new .272 neck.

    Rifle Scopes Upgrading from Gen 2 PST.....Nightforce NX8 or spend the money on a Minox ZP5?

    Or run the Burris xtriii, or wait for the Leupold mk5 with a good reticle. Those 2 are in the NX8 range.

    Rifle Scopes Upgrading from Gen 2 PST.....Nightforce NX8 or spend the money on a Minox ZP5?

    In that range check out the tangent theta or zero compromise. I run a zp5 and have had no durability issues. I have looked through the nx8, and they are nice, but the glass is not the same. The zp5 has sweet glass and I like the reticle. If you are going $3500 really you are in the zco, tangent...

    Rifle Scopes Issue with NightForce nx8

    For my part, I think the scope is an issue. I took the rifle, shot a 3" groups at 100 yards. Then swapped the scope with a known scope, used the same ammo, and shot a 1.5" group. His rifle was not overly keen on the ammo, but it appears that the scope is also not holding a decent zero. Whether...

    FL Dies Scratching the hell out of my brass.

    I have had this happen to a die that did not have enough lube on a case. It scared the die, and now marks everything. One time was enough to cause it to scratch forever. I did not get it polished out, I got a new die. But like Dtros said, never caused any functional issue.

    Keyhole issue

    Check muzzle for loose brake, or defect in the crown.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt&Bender-ZCO-Tangent Theta For 300 Norma

    Really probably a toss up. I would go zco just because they are at least based in the US and are showing some support to what we do. I also like their reticle better. But at the end of the day, they are pretty much all the same. Of note, I have seen some tangents go down, but they have more...

    1,000+ with 6.5 creedmoor ELDM

    Lots of things happen the farther out you get. If your load is not dialed, your rifle has accuracy issues, or you have fundemental issues, they will all be magnified at distance. If your rifle does not like the eldm, that is also an issue. What groups are you getting at 1k? How big is your...

    6mm BRA

    Harrrels Precision makes a nice sizing die. You can cut off a Dasher die to size BRA. The Bench crowd does not seem impressed with the 109 hybrid. They seem to really prefer the 108 Berger, or a custom bullet. Anyone have luck shooting 109 hybrid, Nosler 115, or Sierra 110?

    PRS Talk Here’s what really matters for the novice to intermediate shooter

    For the target acquisition, the description I like is the same for shooting anything to prepare for a solid position. Locate landmark by the target, square your shoulders to your landmark, stab the rifle straight at your target while getting it to it's support and as you pull it back into you...

    Annie- Fluxeon shop returns

    Finally got resolution. No contact for a month or so, I emailed quite a bit. Then he replied and sent out a repaired unit. Unfortunately USPS mangled the shipment and smashed the unit. Fluxeon asked for pics, then sent out a new unit post haste. New unit Functions well again.

    208 or 225 ELD Match for .300 Win Mag at 1 Mile

    This. If 208s shoot run them till the wheels fall off. Check your accuracy at 1000 yards, and your extreme spread. If they are shooting decent at 1k and your velocities aren't a brush fire. Run on. High bc is super badass in a calculator. But whatever shoots can be calculated with more drop...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk5 HD 3.6-18x tree reticle??

    If you can wait, word on the street is the new reticle is usable. If not go with a Burris xtr III with the scr2 reticle. I have owned and used both scopes. I like the mark 5 turrets and feel more, glass is about a wash, and the Burris reticle is way better than any of the current Leupold...

    Why "Hold" edge of plate?

    Hold wind for dynamic ranges on short time. Dial for static distance. Or dial wind for mover distance and hold lead.
