    Eotech Vudu X 2-12

    The major difference between MIL and MOA scopes is the engineering design of the same. If you design a great 100 spline turret: In a MIL scope with a 100 spline turret, you get 10 Mils of adjustment (10x10=100) in a single turn of 1/10 MIL (1/3 MOA) increments (34.4 MOA total for the MIL...

    Window Shopping - 223 Bolt Action

    For suppressed .223 work I recommend a 18" Light Palma Contour Barrel (about .750 @ the muzzle) Twisted 1-7.7 for 77 grain bullets. If you plan to go heavier then 77 grain pills then a 1-7 or even 1-6.5 twist barrels might be more attractive. 1-7.7 twisted 18" .750 barrels work great and are...

    Advice for a budget rifle scope.

    For Budget 22 LR scope I always recommend the Athlon MIDAS TAC HD 4-16×44 APRS2 FFP MIL. 30 mils elevation, only 24 oz and under $550. bucks makes it a winner. Side focus down to 10 yds. (if you qualify for a military discount this one is only $393.) But it's not illuminated nor does it have an...

    Cleaning rod

    I've used J Dewey Nylon Coated rods for years. I've been completely satisfied and I've had no reason to change. I have them in 20 cal, 22 cal 30 cal. and 35 cal. I have found no need for caliber specific rods for every caliber. But bore guides are a must, IMHO.

    Rings recs and lapping?

    Seekins (Glen has never made a bad pair) Badger Ordnance (Used their Aluminum rings for years. The Steel ones are way too heavy for most of my uses) Nightforce (Long time favorite of many) MDT Premier (Bought a pair for my latest 6.5 Creed, very nicely done in 0.820" height 30mm) American...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 Winchester mount

    Two piece Base yes with 4 slots: MARK 4 WINCHESTER 70 One Piece Base with 4 slots? No not that I can recall: MARK 4 WINCHESTER 70 SA 1-PC 20 MOA (8-40 ADAPTABLE) Maybe this will do: CCOP USA Steel Picatinny Rail Scope Base for Winchester Model 70 Short Action Or perhaps this one: FG-FORCE...

    Excessive bump required on max pressure load?

    Listen I never said it was just a die issue. If it's not a headspace issue why are you setting your shoulder back .006"? I never intimated that your brass was ever an issue. Headspace is the distance between the face of a firearm's bolt and a specific point in the chamber. For bottlenecked...

    Excessive bump required on max pressure load?

    No you edited your post while I was responding to it. Your original reply told me very little about the action barrel or dies.. In any event is the SAC Die a FL sizing die? Yes or No? It's pre-fit barrel and again a go/no go gauge will tell you diddly about maybe having a SAMMI max chamber...

    Excessive bump required on max pressure load?

    I'm assuming you mean 6mm Creedmoor. Minimum Brass and Maximum Chamber (both within spec BTW) that won't be detected by a go/no go gauge can cause also problems like you describe. How did you check headspace before and after and come up with a .006 shoulder bump to chamber?? Maybe your die...

    Excessive bump required on max pressure load?

    You don't say what round or brass your using, or what firearm is leaving ejector swipes. But I would expect you should see a head separation from that brass in the near future. Basically anytime you have trouble chambering once fired brass that was fired in the same rifle, you might have a...

    Short barrel 6.5 prc

    Think more like: 308 Win for short barreled elk killers as any other good candidates won't have enough good factory loads to chose from. Though many years ago I had a 338 Win Mag in a Sako Mannlicher Carbine with a 19" barrel that was not too bad shooting wise. I called it my toy cannon...

    7mm Rem Mag vs. 30-06 recoil

    I'd would recommend something like this in 30-06: Bergara B-14 Ridge .30-06 Sprg 24" 1:10" Bbl And if your a veteran they have a substantial military discount. I think the 30-06 is better suited for loading up or down, than a 7mm Rem Mag, as needed to accommodate your injuries. If you...

    6.5 Creedmoor - 147 ELD-M H4350 SRP Loads

    My opinion only: Load one round @ 40.0 grains Load one round @ 40.5 Load one round @ 41.0 Load five rounds @ 41.2 Load five rounds @ 41.4 Load five rounds @ 41.6 Load five rounds @ 41.8 Load five rounds @ 42.0 Your plan called for 45 rounds to be tested. Mine plan calls for 28. My rational...
