    Accuracy International and Desert Tech

    I have an Accuracy International AT with 4 barrels that I shoot most of the time and really love the rifle.. I just sold my pre-2014 AX338 which I rarely shot, so since I reload I have plenty of 338 Lapua components available..I was thinking about a Desert Tech srs a1 338 with a 6.5 Creedmoor...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex vs Athlon

    With the Athlon Cronus you are talking great glass period, right there with any of the high end glass. I also have two S&Bs so I know what high end glass looks like. If you are talking about the Burris xtr or Vortex pst, now you are talking ok for the money. The only Athlon scope I have looked...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex vs Athlon

    I paid a lot less than $1800 for my brand new Athlon Cronus Btr 4.5-29x56. I was asked not to post the exact price that I paid for the scope,... and I will keep my word....I have two S&B 5-25x56 scopes. To my eyes, the Cronus glass is every bit as good. As far as price I will say this much..The...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    Just back from the range...The glass on the Cronus is awesome...every bit as good as the S&B according to my eyes. Great eye relief. I was only able to zero at 100 yards today because because a service rifle match was going on the longer range...The turrets and zero stop is straight forward and...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Scopes

    I received my Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 today. Just looking through the glass off the deck it looks super clear. I have it mounted on an AX338 Lapua. I am going to take it out Sunday and do a 100 yard sight in. I am bringing one of my other rifles with a 5-25x56 S&B. I will be able to do a...

    Rifle Scopes AIAT Razor Spuhr

    The Sp-4001 is the one you need. It is 0 moa. Since your AT comes standard 20 moa base, a 0 moa Spuhr mount is what you need. Now as soon as I say this someone will chime in and say you need a 20, 30 or even 40 moa Spuhr mount on top of your AI 20 moa scope base. Trust me you don't. Ray

    Redding Die inconsistent seating depth

    It looks to me like either you are trying to load a compressed load or you have too much neck tension. As far as the ring mark on the bullet, it won't hurt anything, just go ahead and shoot it. Ray

    Weighing cases??

    Not sure if it makes any difference, but I separate every box of Lapua brass into 50 piece lots. Ray

    I am looking forward to your review. The specs look good. Thinking about the 4-27 Ares or the new Vortex 5-25. I actually like the Burris xtr II also. Ray

    I like the USO scopes, but not enough to plunk my money down. There are plenty of good options available. My personal choice has been S&B. Ray

    Semi auto neck tension

    I like to run about .005 in a gas gun to prevent the bullet from accidentally get jammed deeper in the case causing an over pressure situation. Safety, function and accuracy in that order with a semi-auto. I discard semi-auto brass after 3 firings. Nothing wrong with your SDs being 15fps...Ray
