    virgin brass to once fired load development

    enviro was around 5-10 degrees warmer, 75-80...I’m .020 off the lands and they’re about 250 shots down the tube. I’m using RL33 which I know isn’t the most stable

    virgin brass to once fired load development

    This thread is perfect timing... My 28 nosler is shooting virgin Peterson brass 84gr 3010fps with 5sd and 1/4moa. Fast forward resizing. I bumped the shoulder back .002 and then reloaded to 84gr and my muzzle velocity went up to 3090 and started getting swipe marks. I’m scratching my head as I...

    Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor velocities for 143 ELD-x Precision Hunter

    Just broke in a Barrett Fieldcraft 6.5 today. Shot the factory 143eldx with average 2650 for a brand new barrel.... oh and it’s a shooter!! Shots 5-9 on this new barrel. The First four stacked in there tight but pulled the fifth, it might have been barrel heating up as all shots were within 2...

    New, trouble deciding on first long range setup

    If it were me i'd buy a 6.5cm CTR for 850ish then put it in a KRG Bravo. You would be right around 1200 all in and have a 1/2moa gun that will make you smile everytime you pull the trigger and cycle the bolt.

    Rifle Scopes VX5 hd, NF SHV, or Razor LHT?

    Has anybody compared glass on the new LHT vs the old LH 1”? To my eyes the razor LH has brighter clearer glass than the VX5HD. Not to say the Vx5hd is bad, it’s very good. I think the razor glass was closer to Swaro glass. I hope the new vortex LHT is close to the older version. If it does I’ll...

    Upgrade Weatherby or Invest in a New Rifle?

    Deep down You want the tikka so sell the Weatherby. Buy the CTR and then sell the stock and grab the KRG Bravo... I have the exact setup and shoot Hornady American gunner sub moa out to 800 with ease. If I handloaded I’m sure I could hit 1400yds with ease. But the factory AG ammo is so cheap it...

    Rifle Scopes VX5 hd, NF SHV, or Razor LHT?

    I have the older version of the vortex LH 2-10 and the vx5Hd and to me the vortex class was much cleaner and brighter. I’m hoping the lot has the same glass as I’d like to sell the LH and but the LHT on my fieldcraft. For shots 300yd and in I’d seriously look at a Swaro Z3 and zero your rifle...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I’d just send it back to Seekins. I called a couple weeks ago about getting a new barrel and they quoted me $500 chambered w/ threaded muzzle. I’m not sure what the profits are from straight jacket.

    6.5 CM Ammo Recommendations for New Tikka T3x Tac A1

    It depends on how far you wanna shoot MOA out to. The American Gunner shoots sub moa out to 500-600 in my CTR, which for $.80 makes it great. The Sellier and Bellot also shot really well but is slower and had wide ES. At under 300 it was around .75 moa... I feel the tikka shoot almost all...

    Seekins HAVAK Precision Rifle

    I have to agree with Clark. My 6creed PH1 is a hammer with the Hornady eldm at 3030fps and SD in the 8-10 range. Shot this group at 600 the other day.

    Sheep gun weight/build

    I know I mentioned it earlier but I would strongly suggest on selling the stock and barrel and buying a Barrett fieldcraft. They start out at 5.2lbs and are 1/2 moa for street price of 1400-1600. AG composite stock, Timney trigger at 1.5lbs. Then put a 300-500 lightweight scope. All in would be...

    Sheep gun weight/build

    12lb sheep rifle is crazy heavy. As others have said sheep arent very big or tough and go down easy.... if you are dead set on building a rifle it’d go lone peak ti, 20-22in 2b or proof carbon. Mesa altitude stock. Chamber 6.5 PRC and go kill sheep at as far as you want, but from my experience...

    Sheep gun weight/build

    If it were me and I was looking for a super lightweight I would just go with a Barrett Fieldcraft. I’ve handled over 6 different Fieldcrafts and every one has been 1/2 MOA shooter. Bare rifle weighs 5.2lbs SA and around 5.5 for LA. Running some numbers in the ballistic calculator in sheep...

    6.5 PRC mags?

    I'm building a 6.5 PRC for a buddy of mine on a Lone Peak Ti Fuzion with Hawkins bdm M5. He doesn't reload and will be shooting only factory ammo. From the research I've done it looks like the accurate mag wsm is 2.950 oal while the Hornady factory ammo is 2.955. Has anybody had any issues...
