    Tall target test results and zero issues

    Ok so the gun is a 6.5x47l shooting 139 scenars the scope is a swfa 12x. Let's start with the positive from this test the distance this was shot at was exactly 100metres. The distance between my 2 shots at the bottom and the 2 shots at the top after dialling 10mil is exactly 100cm so the scope...

    Ply for long range target practice

    hi yes I was thinking ply wood that was reasonably thick, I was thinking at those distances with a 6.5 it wouldn't punch through so easily and might cause the wood to wobble etc. Ive never shot steel at all only cardboard I wear both ear plugs and earmuff as my rifle is as loud as fuck with a...

    Ply for long range target practice

    Just wondering if anyone has tried using sheet ply for a long range target to get some practice on. Was thinking like a 4ftx4ft ply painting it white and maybe with some reflective tape on top and hanging by chains. Will a 6.5mm round move this enough to see impacts from 1000+m? or will it...

    Zero issues and seating depth test

    Thanks mate that is clearer now can you also please explain once zero'd dialling for wind. I only use the reticle as it's easy enough if the wind is coming from right to left I hold to the right of the target and the wind blows it onto the target so to speak. with dialing for wind let's say the...

    Slow powders in small capacity cartridges?

    Hi mate I was also looking into this with my 6.5x47l was going to get H4831 and try it. I think you need to have a large freebore with your gun if you want to try it anf possibly single load. i have a .250 freebore in mine so I can seat 139 scenars at 2.840 which is around 100 thou longer than...

    longest base to ogive 6.5 bullets available

    Thanks mate I had a feeling the 139 scenars were one of the longest base to ogive out there. Maybe these new 150 sierras might be longer.

    longest base to ogive 6.5 bullets available

    This is a difficult one as my research on this shows numbers vary wildly depending on which comparator someone is using. I'm using 139 scenars which with my 6.5 comparator measure base to ogive of .717 I'm looking for a match bullet 6.5 that has a longer base to ogive than this as I want to...
