    Tempest comparison?

    I noticed that 2 hitch lift in some of the videos, but also other videos where people were running them pretty fast. Surmising from what you said that the 2 hitch kind of disappears as you run them fast. I like the round balls of the Tikka and Sako. Imagine I would like this one. Looks a lot...

    Tempest comparison?

    Beginning to take a hard look at a new .308. I'm used to the 60-70 degree bolt throws of Sako TRG and a Tikka CTR, and prefer 60 over 90 degree. Just feels right to me. Those are also my point of reference. Anyone have experience with GAP Tempest? How does that action compare with either of...

    How does a 20" barrel affect start/max loads?

    This is good to know. Thank you.

    How does a 20" barrel affect start/max loads?

    All powder manufacturer's load data that I've seen is for a 24" barrel. When developing a load for a 20" barrel, should I look at Starting/Max powder load differently? Should the Start/Max loads be more, less, or the same? I guess the confusing bit for me on the published data is whether the...

    6.5 Creedmoor - IMR 4451 - 18”

    Curious about this topic as well, as I am back to the drawing board on 6.5 load. Have a 20" barrel and using 4451. Rifle instructor said I was blowing burning powder out my muzzle break, that I wasn't getting optimal velocity as a result, and that I should look into a faster burning powder...

    Barnes LRX for 1:12 twist?

    Mapping a potential build and bullet here... Considering getting an AI AT .308 with 1:12 twist. Also looking at pairing that with a ~175 gr all-purpose target/hunt bullet that I can (mostly) hit steel at up to 1087yd range. I don't compete, at least not now. Couple questions: For that...

    Is something going on in Ukraine?

    I'm not a farmer, but isn't harvest season still a ways off?

    Seating depth test. Thoughts on where to tune?

    This is all pretty sage. Yes, rifle is a pretty light CTR and 10x scope. Works fine for hitting steel, but for exacting aim in isolating gun and ammo, I do find more magnification to be a bit easier. There is definitely a component of shooter in this equation.

    Seating depth test. Thoughts on where to tune?

    This is an update on a previous thread: here. Looking to tune this seating depth test. Could use some insight on best practice. Shooting: 6.5 Creedmoor 20" barrel IMR 4451, 40.4 gr Federal large rifle primers Lapua 139 Scenar-L The target crosses are 2"x2" 4 shot groups No chrono Following a...

    Thoughts on where to go from this load test?

    Dumb aesthetics and an over-developed need to reinvent the wheel. I've shot mostly .308 and 300WM. 6.5CM seems awfully long in the nose. Cyrano long. I thought, maybe if I just push the 6.5 down a little... Thank you to these responses. I'll experiment with seat depth at 40.4, and also...

    Thoughts on where to go from this load test?

    Not very experienced with load testing, and could use some guidance on what to try next. Posting somewhat dubious results on my first load test for 6.5 Creedmoor at 100yds. Should I pick one of these and play with seating depth? Shooting Tikka CTR 20" barrel, 6.5 Creedmoor IMR 4451 Federal...

    Tulsi

    I'm going to say this with the qualifications of: she's a politician. Take words, even when they sound good, with a grain of salt. I'll also say this as one who once thought Mattis walked on water, and was disappointed by that. And yes, Tulsi is left of center. Most of us on this forum are not...

    10x fixed effective range

    While we all can appreciate the flexibility and versatility that a variable power scope offers, I'm curious if we can (subjectively) quantify practical or "comfortable" min/max ranges of a fixed 10x scope with decent glass. This isn't intended to...
