    6.5 Grendel

    For what it's worth I'm also running 27.2gr of AR Comp with the 120's (SMK's). I've found this to be a fairly stable powder within the normal temp swings here in PA.

    Hillbilly annealing

    In my mind single digit SD's represents optimal. I can't shoot well enough to appreciate any improvement under that :-)

    Hillbilly annealing

    I dim the lights and stop as soon as I begin to see orange regardless of time. I'm getting single digit sd's with all of my hand loaded cartriges and multiple reloads with all my brass. And that's the whole point. If I ever find myself needing to do more I'll certainly consider a machine. Guess...

    Subsonics - All Calibers

    I'm shooting these from my 16" Ruger 300 Blackout Bolt gun with 11.5 grains of CFE-BLK, CCI-400 primer and Hornady brass. They are loaded to the crimp groove with a light crimp. I've tested this bullet on water jugs at 25 yards and 75 yards and can't tell the difference between the bullets...

    Subsonics - All Calibers

    I'm with you guys all the way on the Makers. I'm pushing the 220 rex at 1000 fps and getting 2" at 100yds. I have only taken three deer with them. Two crumbled up on the spot and the third jumped, stood for 5 seconds, took about 3 steps and laid down. Question: how many times did you do the...

    .260 Remington

    Have any of you guys tried the 139 Scenars? They work well for me to 1200 but that's the furthest I've shot them. Maybe the extra 3 grains will get you there

    Adjusting barrel harmonics to fit rifle cartridge

    Been around a long time. Browning introduced one Called the BOSS (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System). I believe they can help to a point. However, I believe they really shine when you minimize the inconsistencies in your components. In other words it will only get you so far by itself. Even...

    Shooting with contacts

    I am shooting with a scope. My contacts are weighted and I also have a "mono-vision" set up. fxdwgkd might be on to something. I'm gonna pull a bolt and try different shooting positions.

    Shooting with contacts

    Charnicus, I'm going from shooting with glasses to shooting with contacts. I've made the adjustments to the scopes. I can get clear crosshairs and sight picture but can't get round crosshairs and sight picture. The crosshairs and sight picture are slightly elongated from top to bottom. I don't...

    Shooting with contacts

    I've been wearing glasses for 40 years. Could not wear contacts back then because my astigmatism in the right eye was too great. Now, thanks to today's technology, I've gotten contacts. However, I noticed that when looking through my scopes the sight picture is now distorted. It is clear but...
