    7mm Remington Magnum ELR is it worth it?

    Thanks Steve. I looked up your post history and saw a ELR match win & a hit at 2300+. So you obviously can shoot & reload. Didn't mean to put a finger in your chest on this. But this should illustrate how the belted cases get a bad name. They are more complex to headspace. The bulge north of...

    7mm Remington Magnum ELR is it worth it?

    @steve123 Do you have a copy of the reamer print used in your 3 7RMs? And maybe a pic or the following stats from your gun data book on those rifles? 4x fired bolt face to shoulder datum dimension FL sized bolt face to shoulder datum dimension 4x fired body dia .050 north of the belt FL Sized...

    7mm Remington Magnum ELR is it worth it?

    Ideally, a chamber setup for precision rifle shooting a belted cartridge will have a finish reamer with increased length on the dimension from bolt face to the shoulder datum. The belt headspace dimension will be SAAMI/CIP. This will allow you to chamber and fire out of the box SAAMI/CIP spec...

    7mm Remington Magnum ELR is it worth it?

    You or any number of competent gunsmiths could spec out the reamer the same, was just giving you a known data point/easy button for a smith that has the 7RM nugged out. You will want to headspace off the belt for the first firing, and then off the shoulder for subsequent firings. The 7RM doesn't...

    7mm Remington Magnum ELR is it worth it?

    The 7RM will outrun the SAUM by a bit. You'll need a WSM based 7 to run ckose to the 7RM. The belt is a non issue for precision. The 300 WM or NM will be easier to spot impacts for at a mile than the 7RM. Travis Reddel with RBros Rifles has a 7RM finisher reamer that takes an old case and brings...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Mammoth, welcome to SH. There's a lot to be learned here, there's also a ton of hype and misinformation/blind leading the blind here too, as the precision shooting market explodes. That was a sarcastic post, your right. Anyone that has shot ELR realizes the accomplishments posted aren't easy...

    7mm Remington Magnum ELR is it worth it?

    If you can be more specific you can be with the goal of the rifle, it will help ensure you get the best advice here. What size and type of targets, if used in competitive shooting, what discipline, your reloading experience, off the shelf ammo availability wants, barrel life expectancy desires...

    @bohem Congratulations on the ELR endeavors though I'm betting the guys waiting 19 weeks think that's great as well

    Range Report Labradar

    On a more serious note, it allows you to view a shot series "offline" when not connected to the LR, start a new series, and modify settings from your Android. As was previously mentioned, bummer that you can't "enter" when a projectile acquisition error occurs.

    Range Report Labradar

    It allows you to see your shots in Meters per second...that way if you use MILS everything is metric.

    Kowa TSN-883/884 25-60x88 Spotting Scope

    I'd personally rather have companies investing in thier products instead of making cool videos about freezing there scopes and shooting barn doors at 50 yards with them.

    Range Report 243 at 1350 rds.

    How much have you had to "chase the lands"? Are you still at the original powder charge you settled in on during initial load development? Any and if so, how much velocity loss?

    New Magnetospeed Mounting option

    LabRadar facts: 5 button pushes to turn it on and record a single shot. 2 button pushes to delete a shot. $550 Chrono that requires use of one precision Burger King straw and 3" of masking tape to aim. No way to go back and add additional shots to a recorded series. No way to delete all...

    Scratching my head, rough seating issues.

    Depending on the shooting discipline and your precision/accuracy goals, annealing may be further down the priority list for some shooters than others. Excellent point about all the still standing NRA records from pre AMP era and even the pre Benchsource & other timed flame annealers. Although...

    Scratching my head, rough seating issues.

    Can you describe your brass sizing process/dies? Can you take and then post diameter measurements of a loaded nk @ 1. Just south of the case mouth 2. Midway between case mouth & nk/shoulder junction 3. Just north of the nk/shoulder junction The average measurements of 3 of the cases that...

    Scratching my head, rough seating issues.

    Can you better describe what you mean by "pretty rough seating". Ex: Is it taking excessive seating force to seat a bullet? Does the seating force jump, but then subside? Or is the seating force excessive throughout the seating operation? Is the loaded round not concentric? Are you getting...

    Safran/ Vectronix Terrapin-X *** Update***

    Thanks Jason @jb1000br Here's a tougher question, not meant to be argumentative, but it needs asking, because EuroOptic will be in the middle of it all. For example sake, say the BT module no longer connects to a Kestrel or an app. It's within the 36 month period, and I've registered via the...

    Safran/ Vectronix Terrapin-X *** Update***

    ? I like my SK2400AB for exactly what your talking about. After putting wind in it, I still feel like the Tubbs reticle system with a proficient shooter is about the quickest system out there. His baboon hunt videos are worth looking up if you haven't seen them. Sorry for the derail, back to...

    Safran/ Vectronix Terrapin-X *** Update***

    As of today's state of ballistic technology and tech price points....I personally would rather have the two functions of solver and laser in two separate devices. The tech moves too quickly for both, you find yourself with an obsolete laser/solver before it's time, due to the design/function...
