    25 Creedmoor Load Development

    I forgot to ask in my previous post. At a coal or 2.841, where is the bullets bearing/boat tail junction in relation to the neck/shoulder of the case? Is it still above or below the case neck/shoulder?

    25 Creedmoor Load Development

    Thank you. Just wondering if it will work in an AI mag or if it requires a something similar to an accurate mag that allows up to a 2.94 coal.

    Light recoiling 7mm ELR?

    I’ve thought about a practical elr setup over the last couple years and I keep coming back to 7mms. There are so many great 7mm bullets on the market yet no ideal magnum cartridges to launch the larger 180+ grain bullets. A saum in a long action or a 28 nosler are it but not crazy about either...

    Are hawk hill barrels slow?

    My personal experience is limited to 3 kriegers, 1 hawkhill, 1 bartlien. Currently the hawkhill is a 26" creed and one krieger is a 25" creed. Chambered with the same reamer. Exact same load in both, the krieger is about 60 fps faster, they each are around the 500 round count. I've spent a lot...

    Tikka T3x CTR vs. Tikka T3x Tac A1?

    Been debating about this exact same dilemma myself but in .223. Original plan was to take a tikka varmint .223 and put it in a mpa chassis with accurate mags. Saw that it is now available in the tac a1. Now I hear rumors of a ctr in .223 coming out this year. Possibly put that in a manners...

    Has anyone heard of tikka will be offering the CTR in .223 for 2019? I see they offer it in the TAC A1. Interested in the CTR. Thanks.

    6.5 creedmoor dies

    Depends on brass you want to use. Some have different neck thickness. I believe the neck diameter of the 6.5 creed Forster die is .284. I had Forster hone the neck in mine to .287 and also shave .002 from the bottom of the die since it took excess Camover to bump the shoulder back. Seems like...

    Rifle Scopes Which new long range scopes are you most excited about in 2018?

    Yes. You know it will be done right. It’s not some Joe Shmoe trying to get into the optics biz.

    Rifle Scopes Which new long range scopes are you most excited about in 2018?

    The specs and looks of ZCO are incredible. When Jeff Huber separated from Kahles, I heard he started working on his own scope line. Is he the one developing ZCO? The turrets and reticles have a Kahles look influence and the scope body silhouette looks nightforce like. I noticed on the webpage...

    Ai at small vs large firing pins

    Is there a headspace discrepancy between AI rifles with a SFP and one with a LFP? Seems like there was some discussion on that a while ago with guys having issues with head spacing with aftermarket prefit barrels when the SFP rifles first came out. Can anyone clarify this?
