    Advice

    Really, all of the components are important and I don’t know of I could prioritize them except that the barrel is number one, the scope is the other number one and the stock / chassis is the third number one ?. I would decide what my ideal rifle would consist of and look for those parts on sale...

    The Kestrel Killer?

    I’m with you. Come on Revic... not sure how this would work with the scope though, it already does everything except range, dial and press the trigger. ? I guess it would be a good backup if the scope electronics went south though. How ya doin?

    Range Report Never Do It Again

    Went to the range again today to re-zero and gather some dope at 300 and 600 yds. Couldn’t see impacts on paper at 600 so decided to drive down and see where I was. Based on location of poa vs poi it looked like about 2 mph of wind. I pulled the paper not wanting to spoil a nice 3 shot group ...

    Better consistency

    I agree with antithesis, probably outside a node. With an SD of 11 or 12 your expected ES at the 95% level is 44 to 48... probably not the load you are looking for.

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    If you are still impacting left after dialing right either there is a scope problem (unlikely) or more likely recoil is pushing the butt of the rifle to the right... it doesn’t take much about .001” at the butt can easily move your impact an inch at 100 yds. You may just be letting your...

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    I think at 77 and .010 you are good to go for your hunt. Give the barrel a little time and continue your workup after it has 150 to 200 rounds through it. Check action screws, scope mount and anything that may be threaded on the barrel. If nothing is loose have a good hunt. How far away do you...

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Single digit ES might be tough. If you get it great, but that might be unnecessary. See what you get, see what poi impact shift you would get with that ES at your longest expected shot and decide if that’s tolerable. If it is, great. If not you either have to look at closer shots or look for a...

    Range Report Berger 105 Hybrid vs. Lapua 105 Scenar L

    Comments from anyone who has live fire experience with both of these projectiles would be welcome. I have shot the Bergers and know they have a higher BC. Just curious about the Scenar Ls. Were your best load charges significantly different? Fussiness about seating depth? Thanks.

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Yeah I think you’re right. My 0.2 gr is overkill. I don’t shoot the heavy hitters anymore so think in terms of my workups. The OP 0.5 gr intervals are fine and it will save time and materials.

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    Ok it seems that you ARE one of “those guys” ?. The problem with going to groups at distance is that there is more chance for environmental factors to play a role in the observed results. Personally I would probably take the range of 76.5 to 77.5 at 0.2 gr intervals and shoot 5 rounds of each...

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    I think that your reloading process has to be really refined to use the Satterlee method or a one shot test of any kind. There is just too much variation from shot to shot under any but the most controlled circumstances to draw any useful conclusions. Hey if you are one of those guys that neck...
