    James and Melissa Gilliland is who you are talking about. I've shot with them a good bit and they are good people. I honestly don't know the reamer specs. I told Mark at Accurate Ordnance to make it happen so they ordered it and will be doing all the work. I trust them to do what's best. The...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short / first-hand experience anyone?

    I need to consolidate some optics so everything is the same. I wonder if euro optics will give a discount if I buy two at the same time. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short / first-hand experience anyone?

    No doubt. I would almost order two of them if they were at that price point. With them at 4600 I'd just assume buy the larger ones like I already own for less than 3k. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    This is my second one. The first one was ran at 3150fps using h4350 or h100v. About 41.8-42.6 depending on the powder with cci 250 Magnum primers. I'm using cci Br2s now and bn coated bullets so a few things have changed on the second one.. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    No its Logan Martin lake in Talladega/Pell city area of Alabama. The barreled action is Barrett bronze which I really like but doesn't go so well with the carbon XLR. I've had a few in this color and they look great in the manners black forest pattern which I don't have a picture of on this...

    Another great Accurate Ordnance built 6mm Creedmoor. 24" 1-8 .237 Bartline barrel with APA little bastard brake blended in. TAC30 action with 20moa stiller base. Timney 510 with some work to get it to 1lb 0.8oz Carbon XLR chassis Steiner 5-25x56 MSR reticle mounted in a 20moa bobro...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short / first-hand experience anyone?

    And with the single turn turrets and 17mils that takes me to 1639 yards with my 6mm Creedmoor and probably a little further for the 6mm slr once I get it. I'd say for what we do it would be a great option IF it were priced a little lower (3200-3600 depending on reticle) Sent from my SM-N900V...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short / first-hand experience anyone?

    Right now I'm having to pinch penny's but I'll probably get one on the way in a few months. I wonder if the glass is similar to the other 20x optic which to me is better than my 5-25x56 for some reason. With it also being a newer optic maybe the quality of their newish 7k dollar 27x model which...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-20x50 PM II Ultra Short / first-hand experience anyone?

    David I've been thinking about picking one up for a few reasons but 4600 is hard to swallow for sure. They are tiny though and I personally like the single rev elevation turret and capped windage turrets. As far as elevation it's enough to take me a long long way with my 6mm Creedmoor so...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    Honestly I'd probably place roughly the same if it were my guess. I'm not that great of a shooter so honestly that barrel that would only shot a best of 3.5" at 100 the day before the match at K&M may have helped me.. Do I think it did? Hell no but there is always a possibility I suppose :-)...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    I've walked into more than one match with loads or a barrel that wasn't what I would say the best and I damn sure don't think the rest of the group needs to shoot with the same jacked up setup as me. If you need a certain powder you can find it if you look hard enough. It may be a few bucks more...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    And DA can change the dope from day to day or even minute to minute even with the same velocity so that's also something that needs to be written down in your notes . it helps when you can feel a shift and adjust for it just like I will hold low in the afternoon when I would hold dead center in...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    I notice less change in velocity with H100v than I see with h4350. It's probably about 30fps difference going from 20* weather to 95+ weather with h4350 and around 15 fps with the h100v. I found it odd since the h100v is not in hodgens extreme powder lineup. The h100v also meters like water...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner 5-25x56

    Just an FYI the sunshade that comes with a march 5-40x56 fits the steiner as well as a premier scope. I know it's not going to help unless you have a march scope but they do fit. The outside diameter is a little larger than the steiner OD but still works fine. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    **6 Creedmoor**

    It's very close on the burn rate so it probably will work well. If you can find hybrid 100v (h100v) that works and is what I like to run but haven't been able to find it anymore so I'm back to h4350 for now. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    **6 Creedmoor**

    From the guys I know shooting the coated Dtacs they have not had any issues. I haven't spoken in depth about having to recoat the barrel after cleaning but do see where some are taking it or a finer grade and mixing with alcohol and after the barrel is clean they run a patch with the mixture on...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    New AO barreled action came in today so logically I went to do some load development in this hot ass weather. I'm now running bn coated 105gn hybrids and the highest load loaded was running around 3105fps with a 2fps ES over 3 rounds. Time to load some more up, I tested non coated and got about...

    **6 Creedmoor**

    When new I was seating the hybrids 20thou off the lands and coal was right at 2.7450, the last batch of bullets I made were seated at 2.7650 and 20tho off the lands. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Your suggestions for rifle for novice female shooter

    I'll add a few things that I've noticed from my wife. She's about 5' 7" 130lbs and isn't a weakling by any means but when she tries to shoot my match guns which are in heavy to me (13.5-15lbs) she has a hard time moving them around (precision rifle style shooting) and usually ends up sore the...
