    R700 chassis $500 max?

    Another idea, AB arms 700 SA chassis at Opticsplanet, with a 10% off code, puts it down to roughly $360 shipped. Got to supply your own rear stock and pistol grip. MDT chassis are awesome also, you can also get around the same price if you shop around. Lots of choices with chassis on the 700...

    Redding body die works in all my Semi's and bolt's with no issue. Use whichever neck die you want. What hlee and hypno02 just posted above, you will have loads that will perform.

    Which 308 upper and lower receivers are best quality for the buck?

    Please do so Pusher, I have been looking at them also. Most of all, two areas I am wanting to know is upper and lower fitment and is there any slop. Also barrel extension fitment into the upper, is it tight or loose.

    Powder other than H4350 for 20" 6.5 Creed?

    I used imr 4064 a lot in 6.5 CM, work quite well, and accuracy is there. Varget is my top pick since it is more temp stable. I use 139 Lapua with 37.3, shown as max in my sierra manual. Give it a try, just might surprise you.

    Just your coriolis and it will not be adding in additional mil/MOA corrections in the wind and angle to the target you are engaging at.

    Brownells Barrels for Ruger Precision Rifle?

    I got one, the 6.5 CM 24" barrel. I have not shot it enough yet or play with loadings. After 5 rounds for sight it, top group is my first group with 37.3 IMR4064, 139 Lapua, second group is 37.0 Varget, 139 Lapuas. These two loads shoot great in all my 6.5's. This was the first time I ever...

    Help - Kestrel Truing for DA/Weather changes

    If your happy with your current calibrated true using that particular load with new lot of powder, you need to create a MV temp table. That will get you tracking with the temperature highs and lows. Varget is pretty good with being stable with various temp ranges, but not perfect either. The...

    Kestrel Wind Direction Setting

    Yes, that is the way it is suppose to work smokeon. Having done those captures, you then scroll through each target capture within the function for your firing solutions. Again, Asuming the wind is in that perfect condition of same angle and same speed from muzzle to the target with no other...

    Kestrel Wind Direction Setting

    Your thinking correctly. Compass is calibrated yes? 3 things you should always do when using the Kestrel. 1. Capture environmental and lock it. 2. Capture DOF to target, it is the 12 o'clock as the Kestrel references it at. 3. Capture WD, whichever way it is blowing, the Kestrel will...

    AR Accuracy or Lack of

    Lots of variables to consider for the OP. From Acog to a 3x18 scope is a factor to shooting precision. Is the buttstock giving you a consistent cheek weld placement? Asuming you are doing all the fundamentals correctly for grouping to check accuracy, you have to be spot on. Semi precision...

    Kestrel 4500 with Horus Ballistics

    I remember how to use it. But only thing I can think of in learning it is using the Kestrel manual for that model, or pull up a old youtube video of that series.

    Kestrel Compass issues

    Ran into this also when I taught a Kestrel class to my guys. Nothing is wrong, as it has been explained by Kestrel themselves. If you run dof and wind off a compass azimuth reading, it's going to confuse the user. Set the wind direction to the clock method and it will match what the wind is...
