    Please help with seating issues

    You would have to check your lot of bullets to be sure, but most of the time the BTO variance is less than the OAL variance. So seating depth wioll be more consistent, even if OAL varies more. Unless the OAL variance is creating problems due to mag length, I would focus on BTO and not worry...

    Resurrecting Cutting Edge Bullets 32Grn

    Sorry, no progress, but I can give a little more info on what I have done with the 50gn bullets.. I tried Longshot, AA-9, HS-6 and VVN350. I ended up with a reasonable good load for the rounds with 2.75gn of HS-6, giving me ~1170fps. 2.3gn of VV N350 was similar and maybe slightly slower @...

    Good Price On Norma .22 LR

    CCI also makes non-lead 22 that shoots poorly. And the lead ban is only for hunting, if you just want to plink or shoot targets, you can use traditional ammo. You can also load your own lead free 22 using Cutting Edge’s products. Cutting Edge has told me that it qualifies for CA’s lead free...

    Is clean brass more accurate then dirty brass?

    Thanks. I have only tried graphite and HBN, and have not done any calibrated testing, but I would say my results between HBN and graphite support your: Graphite seems pretty consistent, and HBN was all over the place. I wasn’t even aware that there was a dry powder version of moly, I might...

    What did you find to be the best lubes for consistency?

    Seating Depth Analysis--My Assessment Meter is Pegged Out.

    Ah, sorry, I was thinking about it backwards. Have you tried longer jumps? I had a rifle that shot best with a .120 jump. Not sure how deep that puts the bullet; the 185g bullet is probably pretty long for the .308 case (I’m guessing, sold my last 308 in favor of a 6.5 a while back)...

    Seating Depth Analysis--My Assessment Meter is Pegged Out.

    If the end state for the rifle is PRS and the mag length limit is .020, why aren’t you focusing on optimizing .020 and less?

    Launching - MDT Training Shot Timer

    Hmm . . . When I try to set the time higher than 60 seconds, it resets either to 0 or 60. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

    Launching - MDT Training Shot Timer

    Is there a way to do PRS style timing, with par times of 90-120 seconds with this? I just got one and haven't worked through everything, but I can't figure out how to do a par time longer than 60 seconds.

    109 ELD M ?

    .284 to .286 sounds right to me, definitely in the ballpark. I've been using .290 with a 1:7.25 barrel, but I switch to ATips after 600yds so I have not spent any time refining it.

    Do the pros use stainless steel pin/wet tumble or Dry Tumble?

    Do what works for you, and allows you to get the best consistency. If you are wet tumbling and getting peened necks, sticky necks, or shooting pins through your rifle YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. But if doing it right is too much thought, time or trouble for you, don't do it.

    109 ELD M ?

    I like them. The are a lower cost alternative to the 110 ATip for distances out to 600. After that, the Atip shows better BC. When they were first announced, the chatter was that they would be the same profile as the ATips, but that turned out not to be true. But they do shoot very close to...

    Auto Trickler V3 problem

    Re the buzzing, you probably have a cable going bad. Buy some spares and swap the current one out. Those little wires get broken, esp[ecially if you are moving the unit/components.

    Sako TRG22A1 6.5CM

    What is the trigger pull weight range? I like the old TRG trigger a lot, I just wish it would reliably adjust to a lower weight.

    Rimx build glass help, 2500$ budget

    I like the Nightforce NX8 4-32. Of your list of features, I would say that the ones you might find lacking are eyebox and depth of field, but if you go with a 30mm tube and 50mm objective you won’t get many better options for those.

    RimX Go NoGo?

    If the barrel was done properly, and you are using the correct bolt head, you shouldn’t need to, but it never hurts to check.

    6.5 PRC with 123gr ELD-M / 124gr Hammer Hunter

    Sorry, no experience with Superperformance.

    6.5 PRC with 123gr ELD-M / 124gr Hammer Hunter

    I worked up a load of 58.6 H1000 for 123gn solids, ~3150fps in a 26" barrel, ADG brass, BR2 primers. H1000 is usable but on the slow side for the lighter projectiles.
