    Rifle Scopes Tough decision...

    Re: Tough decision... I have two SWFA 16x fixed and while they are great scopes for the money they aren't a high end scope. That was the reason I didn't include the SWFA...to me for the money they want for that scope I would go with a NF for sure. I'm looking at the 6-24 Mrad PST SFP not...

    Rifle Scopes Tough decision...

    Viper PST, Sightron or Nightforce??? I haven't looked through any of them so I am at a bit of a disadvantage. I have hear a lot of good things about all of them but are the Sightron and NF scopes worth that much better than the Viper? I'm using the scope to go on a 6.5 Creedmoor to steel and...

    6mm decision....

    I have decided to have a 6mm built. Just can't decide which one. I have went from a BR to 6x47 to 6mm Creedmoor and back several times. I have a 6.5 Creedmoor and I love it but just wanting another gun. I decided on it over the 6.5-284 because of the difference in brass and slightly better...

    6.5 Creedmoor Neck Bushing Selection

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Neck Bushing Selection I don't know about the Redding sizer but Hornady makes 2 bushings for their match grade and one is .290 and the other is .288. A loaded factory match 140gr shell has a neck is .291/.292. Take that for what is is worth but I have been using the .290...

    6.5 Creedmoor Load Confusion?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Load Confusion? I am just finishing up developing one for my rifle and 2933 average with 43.7 and no signs of pressure. 43.9 showed slight ejector marks but no sticky bolt. My factory loads were around 2800. 25" McGowen barrel.

    McGowen barrels???

    Why don't I see them used on custom rigs as much as some of the others? I have one and it has been a good one. I just wondered if there was something I didn't know. Getting ready for another build and seeing if I just got a good one or they just aren't popular for another reason. Thanks guys.

    Bullet "jump"

    Re: Bullet "jump" Yes, that is what I was saying....but I'll do it by .020 just to try it. What is the negative to having more bullets to shoot?

    twist question...

    Re: twist question... I knew what you were saying Sandbogg...I'll check it out that way and won't have to mark up my cleaning rod. Honestly, I almost feel stupid I didn't think about tape and was going to mark up my cleaning rod

    twist question...

    So I have a 22-250 that a buddy is interested in buy but wants to know the twist. How can I check it without putting a marked rod in it? It is a Savage model 10 w/ supposedly either a 1:9 or 1:14. Thanks...I ask because I doing really want to mark up a cleaning rod if I can keep from it.

    Another 6.5 vs .308 question!

    Re: Another 6.5 vs .308 question! Uploaded with ImageShack.us I had my smith pull my 30-06 barrel off my Savage and replaced it with a 6.5 Creedmoor. That is a 100 yd load development target but target 5 in the corner was shot with 140gr factory shells. The first 4 targets were shot with...

    Bullet "jump"

    I have narrowed my load down and now I am ready to start messing with OAL. I saw in the sticky loading write ups to start at .010 but it didn't say how far to go? When testing how far off the lands will y'all go looking for a load that shoots well? Thanks.

    Made the stainless media jump

    Re: Made the stainless media jump I was reluctant to drop the cash but my buddies talked me into it. I would have a hard time deciding between it and the chargemaster on which was the better move.
