    Need advice mount for a .50 bmg and 6.5

    My M99 with handloaded Amax's at 2570 fps needs 17.5 mils of elevation for 1760 at 5600 feet. That's my verified dope.

    Brass Deflector....Effective or No

    Your AR didn't come with one? The tit on the side works well when I shoot weakside, and never heard complaints from wrong handed soldiers.

    Opinion: Which is the best looking bolt gun and why?

    Absolutely. Tactical is fine, tactical is cool, but it ain't pretty. Figured wood and deep blued steel is gorgeous.

    Pretty rare factory nickel Hi-standard Sport King Lightweight. Only made from 1956-1958.

    Using tripods - how often and how

    Pretty much the same setup I'm using. I really like the Anvil-30. I use it for spotting with optics 95 percent of the time, but used the crap out of it at a high angle match this summer.

    Triggertech hammer wear

    Hammer wear is normal on any AR due to the BCG sliding over it. All of my Geisseles do it, and factory triggers in every issued rifle I ever had in the Army.

    Ammo Issue?

    You should really shoot some quality match ammo to take the ammo out of the equation. Always question the shooter, but M80 ball is always suspect.

    Looking for a good rifle for 12 year old.

    We buy each kid their first big game rifle for their 12th birthdays, when they can legally hunt big game in WY. They all have access to all of my match rifles, Barrett, 22s, Varmint rifles, ARs, anything they want. There is absolute magic in a child carrying their very own rifle afield while...

    6.5 CM load question

    I settled on 41.5gr H4350 coupled with 140 ELD-Ms, and Hornady brass with my 22" Criterion Hybrid barrel. I have put JP High Pressure bolts/firing pins, and asjustable gas blocks on every 6.5C AR I've had to prevent pierced primers, swipe marks, etc. Most guns like that 41.5ish charge with 140s.

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    Absolutely, and I never said otherwise. Those are also a small percentage of the optics they sell every year, so my statement still stands. If Kia made a bad ass super car that ran trouble free for 150k miles, would you be defending the entire brand, or would all of the Sorento owners...

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    Nothing with those, but that is a small segment of their line. I have seen multiple issues from the PST down,which is a vast majority of their product line and sales.

    Masterpiece Arms

    My 6.5BA is one of the most accurate and consistent rifles I own. If a chassis gun is what you prefer, it doesn't leave anything on the table to any other rifle.

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    I did, but the Razor Gen 2 is only one scope in their line. It is a great scope, but the rest of the line leaves people bragging about how good the warranty is. Besides, my brand (NF ATACR 7-35x56) got two different entries for the same scope, so that makes it 100 percent superior. lol

    Bipods

    I still prefer Harris for hunting and general use rifles. I prefer Atlas on my Precision match rifles. I purchased a Magpul when they first came out, and gave it to a newer shooter. I hated it, and felt like it would break at some point.

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    Bergers are good, but I settled on ELD-M because of the volume of them I shoot practicing and for matches every year. I've never lost points shooting 140s at 2850 fps due to bullet blow up or not shooting a Berger. I try to buy the same lot number in bulk for consistency reasons, just like kegs...

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    Lot# 2201384 I called Hornady this morning, and they are sending me the missing bullets, and emailing me what the window of shipped weight should be for a box of 100 140 ELD-M should be so I can check the other lot numbers. Only instance I've ever been glad I couldn't buy all of the same lot...

    Hornady 140 Gr ELD 100ct SHORT BY 12

    I was loading for a match tonight, and had two boxes of 100 - 140 ELD-M that were short twelve bullets. It pissed me off, so I did a search, and this thread came up. I'm emailing with pictures in the morning. Did you ever hear anything?

    Rifle Scopes Riton scope testimonies

    I bought a Gen 7 4-32X56IR to use on my 6. 5 Gas gun to compete with. I used it in about four matches, and I started having trouble with tracking at about the second stage. By the fifth stage, my zero was 9 mils low, and the elevation turret locked up. I sent it in, they sent a brand new one...
