    Rifle Scopes Revisiting drop testing

    I've got a foot in either camp. I don't know "formidilosus" from a bar of soap and I'm disinclined to place too much trust in a lot of unsubstantiated claims on the internet. However the "drop test" results as presented do show some pattern to reliability. They've certainly induced a lot of...

    Looking at a Manners T2A-GAP with a 700 short action - standard fill - roughly what contour of barrel suits to have balance a few inches forward of the mag well for PRS style matches? cheers

    That's interesting. Assuming you're talking 20 + rd groups?

    Precisely. I'm using a comparator on the case shoulder. The factory brass that I measured was about 1.407" (this is clearly just a reference measurement relevant to my measuring system only). I don't have any more new brass to measure to double-check this. Most once-fired brass is in the...

    I'm shooting an 18" 1:8" twist Brux barrel with .236" bore. I'm bumping shoulders about 0.002" but it's hard to say precisely as it appears that the brass has fire-formed various amounts since new. The max I've measured is about 0.008" shorter on a new case vs a 1x fired case. I've shot...

    I am getting sporadic ejector marks on my brass with loads that are under the Hodgdon book max. No carbon ring (checked with borescope) Alpha brass - 1x fired. Read somewhere this is normal with Alpha brass. Anyone else seen this?

    ELDM lot-to-lot variation

    I'm shooting the 108gr ELDM from a 6mmGT in a Brux barrel. I tested loads with one particular box to check if my barrel liked the bullet - shot 3x 10rd groups around 0.5-.0.6 MOA group size (0.05 - .06MRAD mean radius). Seemed all good, so I purchased 1000 bullets of a different production lot...

    223/for distance

    Aside from the difficulty of getting consistent velocities with .223, and the lower impact signature, the 88s or 85.5s should be in the ballpark of being reasonably competitive with the 6mms, with some serious advantages in recoil & cost. I'll probably try a barrel set up for 88s when my current...
