    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Load ten with 77gr seating the 215 Berger’s at .005 jump and shoot them at the same POA at a rate of 1 every two minutes. If the first 5 are all over the place stop and seat the remaining five deeper. Those groups look pretty good as it is.

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Your easily minute of Elk, but a rifle built right and with those components should shoot. You might want to try a few different bullets. Maybe the ELDX. Are you using a drop tube or vibrating charges? If you need more jump, it might be worth trying, particularly for a hunting rifle where...

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    With that configuration it should weigh under 11lbs. Is it beating you up? Do you have a flinch when you dry fire? Spike footed bipod? Are the bipod legs slightly loaded? You might tape or strap a pad to the EH1 butt stock. A wide spiked footed bipod can do wonders on a lightweight magnum.

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Well that should shoot, I’m assuming it’s bedded. The barrel likely has some more speeding up to do. Are you shooting prone? I wouldn’t be working too hard to develop a load until the barrel sped up and settled down.

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Speed averages on small sample sizes can only be taken for what they are. Likewise three round groups also represent small sample sizes. What are the rifle and optic details and round count on bbl?

    WJM it looks like we were typing at the same time. Thanks for the great synopsis!

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 - Initial Thoughts

    At 26oz. Leupold’s Mark 5 is also sort of in a class unto itself, but with an oddball 35mm main tube. The Mark 5’s non-Christmas tree reticle selection is limited to Leupold’s TMR, a reticle I really don’t get—at all. The TMR looks like a series of compromises made in a design workshop held...

    How often do you clean while at the range?

    When I’m working up loads, I do the following: At the end of the forend, put the hot barrel between your middle and ring fingers up against the tender flesh that makes up the web. If the barrel is too hot to keep it there, it’s too hot to keep shooting. This is conservative, but allows...

    How often do you clean while at the range?

    As long as you’re not shooting an excessively overbore chambering prone to developing carbon rings in the throat—the consensus on cleaning regimens span a few hundred rounds to never.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 - Initial Thoughts

    I can’t think of anything else in the lightweight (28.3oz), compact, ultra robust (assuming the NX8 is on par with the NXS and ATACR series in terms of sheer mechanical reliability), in the vicinity of this mag range, at any price point that compares. This doesn’t even factor in the quality of...
