    What could be the cause of this?

    Sorry I kind of subcouncisly group all the garbage animals into the varmint catagory. I think I am going to stick with the 73gr eld's cause they seem to buck the wind a little better and drop less. At least thats the case to 300yrds which is as far as I have been able to take them out to.

    Range Report 73gr .398 g1 bc vs 77gr .340

    So I am fairly new at reloading for precision and just looking to finalize a load and load up a bunch for some varmint and target shooting I am looking to do over the next couple months. I have narrowed it down to hornady's 73gr eld-m and noslers 77gr bthp. Both shoot to the same accuracy, about...

    What could be the cause of this?

    Thanks for the info. There was a node around 23.8-24.0 and only about 60-80fps less so I will just back down to 24.0 and call it good. As far as rounds good for varmints, I am not really overly concerned with saving the pelts on the coyotes and this barrel doesn't particularly shoot much of...

    Seating stem messing up bullet

    Tried it but unless I get neck tension way too low it still does it. It’s a very fine ring, like the stem is only contacting a very very small part of the bullet causing too much pressure in one spot.

    Seating stem messing up bullet

    Loading up some 73gr eld-m’s and the seating stems on both my Lee dies as well as my hornady’s leave a pretty significant ring in the ogive. They still shoot really good to 300 yards but I’m concerned it will be an issue at distance. Any fix for it?

    What could be the cause of this?

    Nope, never changed the setting and this was in the middle of a 15rnd string.

    What could be the cause of this?

    Worked up a load for my AR for varmints recently. Shooting 25.0gr of varget, lake city brass, nosler 77gr bthp and cci 400's. Its a compressed charge and over recomended max but I get no pressure signs at normal temps and only the occasional swipe when its real hot out. The barrel is a Centurion...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for opinions for FFP under $1500 for 6.5cm

    I have been running the dmr2 for about 800 rounds over the course of 4 range trips. So far I am very impressed coming from some first gen vipers and a leupold mk4 ert but managed a gun store for 6 years and had the opportunity to use and look through a lot of stuff and I would say the dmr2 is...

    Mpa chamber throat for ELD

    Sorry it’s for the 6.5cm so it’s for the 140gr eld. I don’t mind the idea behind running the eld but would like to be able to run some Bergerac and others for hunting possibly.

    Rifle Scopes Exciting scopes coming from Bushnell the ERS & XRS Gen II

    Im not sure if my dmr2 is an exceptional example or the lrhs I compared it to was sub par but my eyes told me my dmr2 has significantly better glass than the previous lrhs. At least as far as CA, color rendition and dynamic range. Mostly dynamic range as there was a significant difference in...

    Mpa chamber throat for ELD

    Excuse my ignorance but I’m kicking around an mpa rifle and see they list on the barrel “chamber throat: Hornady eld”. How does this affect accuracy and ability to shoot other rounds? I have recently got addicted to reloading and like the trial and error of finding a load for my rifle and don’t...

    The Fix from Q

    That is my understanding as well. The two that I have seen the owner tried several types of factory match as well as a couple hand loads. If in fact the bartlein barrel and bag was the base offering I would highly consider ordering one.

    MPA barrels

    What I am after is a lighter weight rifle with a quality chassis I won't need to upgrade down the road and something fairly accurate. MPA has their MPA BA Lite competition rifle that's $2000 on their light weight chassis and a trued/honed 700 action. I just shot them an email to see if they can...

    The Fix from Q

    Anyone been able to run a decent amount of rounds through their fix yet? Locally there's a couple that I am seeing less than stellar results from the factory barrel's and thinking that IF I was to order one I would need to upgrade to the breitling or proof barrel to get the accuracy I would...

    MPA barrels

    Looking at building or buying a gun for recreational precision shooting as well as some hunting. The new masterpiece hybrid chassis has really caught my attention due to the features and the light weight. I am half tempted to buy a Bergara hmr and drop it in the MPA chassis but also kind of...

    Lightweight chassis for a Bergara HMR?

    The more I look at chassis the more I am drawn to the MPA hybrid. Light weight, folding and under a grand.

    Lightweight chassis for a Bergara HMR?

    Looking to throw a HMR into a chassis that will cut some weight from the factory stock. Not looking to spend a ton of money but would like something that will hold up to field use. I will be packing the rifle around a bit as it will be my primary hunting rifle going forward. Considering the MDT...
