    Just blows me away what difference handloading can make!

    Marine... that’s a thought and the 178 ELDX is something like 1.420” long. While that’s a lot longer than I expected it to be. Now I’ve shot the 185 juggernaut out of the same rifle with GREAT success, it’s only 1.344” long. So that’s a matter of almost 80/1000” difference. When I plugged it in...

    Other Auto throw and Trickler Option?

    If you want something you can trust that’s a little bit more high end but doesn’t cost as much as a Prometheus, Check out the A&D FX-120i with the V2 auto trickler. I own one and it’s LEGIT to get fast loads out to the 2/1000th of a grain. I use mine in conjunction with two RCBS Chargemasters...

    Just blows me away what difference handloading can make!

    Nice , I’m down here in Mississippi and it’s the humidity that’ll make a 29 degree morning here feel like a 0 F day in Colorado. It was 5.4 mils to get to 605 and what’s crazy is I literally guessed 2490 fps. All those hits were literally back to back with no previous data. I was pumped!!

    Just blows me away what difference handloading can make!

    I’d like to start off saying that I own several “high end” rifles. GAP, AIAW, and some custom builds. BUT one of my favorite rifles that I own is a Remington 700 SPS TACTICAL 1:12 with a 20” bbl bedded in a Bell and Carlson stock. I have probably shot 5,500 rounds through it. Well, yesterday I...

    Question on a Ruger Precision Rifle

    I’ve got what may be a dumb question..... I bought a RPR 6.5 creedmor about a month ago from Academy Sports. It’s got a 24” 1:8 bbl. my question is how do I know what generation it is?

    Rifle Scopes Pulled the trigger and bought a Bushnell 4.5x18x44 LRHS

    Got to say I’ve been able to play with the SWFA SS and was VERY impressed with the quality of the glass. Reticle was a little too thick for my liking though but I wouldn’t mind having one. Seemed like a very good optic

    Rifle Scopes Pulled the trigger and bought a Bushnell 4.5x18x44 LRHS

    I just mounted it on a custom .300 Win mag I had built a few years ago. Had a NightForce NXS 5.5x22x50 on it but it’s not a ffp scope hence dial ups were necessary when not on 22 power. Now I just have to look at my IStrelok app on my iPhone or my kestrel AB and it’ll tell me exactly where to...

    Rifle Scopes Pulled the trigger and bought a Bushnell 4.5x18x44 LRHS

    Got to say I’m very impressed with this scope. Turrets are nice and crisp. Parallax is good to go. And I love the FFP and G2h reticle. Best part is I got it for 750$ ?

    Odd velocity readings

    You’ve got a max spread of 34 fps out of a rifle shooting almost 82 grains of powder. Personally I wouldn’t sweat it at all. But it is interesting that you’ve got a mad spread of 6 fps on shots 1-3 and then 6 fps on shots 4-6. Personally, I’d plug the average in on a ballistic calculator and...

    300 Win Mag + 215/230 Berger Hybrid Target : tell me about it!

    And as far as the 230 OTM goes. I shoot 76.5 Retumbo at 3.618” coal ( AI MAG ). Shoots 2880 fps and I’ve taken 6 or 7 deer out past 875 yards. I think the furthest was 965 yards. It hits HARD and they were all drt. The 215 was very disappointing in terms of killing. Shot 2 deer that I lost due...
