    Rifle Scopes 100 yd or 200 yd zero???

    Re: 100 yd or 200 yd zero??? Keep things simple, zero everything at 100 yards. If you want to go hunting and want a 200 yard zero then dial up from 100 yards what you need and leave it there while hunting. If you want to go with a max point blank range dial it in from the 100 yard zero. If...

    Rifle Scopes forcing a mil reticle to moa?

    Re: forcing a mil reticle to moa? I like to convert Leupold's TMR to MOA or IPHY's, depending on what the turret travel of the particular scope I'm dealing with. Like Lindy said you definitely need to check to see what the actual travel of the turret adjustments are. I have Leupold's that run...

    Headspace issue or not?

    Re: Headspace issue or not? How many times have you reloaded the cases? I have seen cases that were bumped back .005" too much start showing signs of case head separation in as little as 5 reloadings.

    Range Report 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??)

    Re: 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??) I have just started load development for my 7wsm and the only draw back I have seen so far over the 6.5 is the recoil. The 180's going around 2950 are hammering me without the brake. I don't like recoil period. I wish they would come out...

    drop chart versus chrono for load work up

    Re: drop chart versus chrono for load work up One thing to remember when checking your scope travel at 100 yards-MAKE SURE that it is 100 yards. Some people will step off 100 steps and call it 100 yards and it may be 91 or 96 or whatever. If its only 92 yards then you will be off by 8% when...

    Nosler 280 RM vs. 280 AI brass costs?

    Re: Nosler 280 RM vs. 280 AI brass costs? You will waste more money in powder, bullets, primers and barrel life fire forming the standard brass than the difference in cost of the AI brass. Plus you may loose a few cases when you fire form.

    Hunting & Fishing Berger VLD bullets for hunting

    Re: Berger VLD bullets for hunting All the older VLD's in the yellow boxes were what are now called the hunting VLD's. The older boxes didn't specify hunting or target. The new target VLD's come in a yellow box and are marked TARGET and the hunting VLD's come in an orange box and are marked...

    Gunsmithing MOA confusion

    Re: MOA confusion ericf alot of the time the rifle may be capable but the load may not be as good out at longer distances. I have seen some loads that would shoot very good groups at 100 yards but by the time they made it to 500 yards they were terrible. Problems with extreme velocity spreads...

They feed from the magazine smoother than any factory gun I have laid my hands on lately. I haven't bought a factory rifle in a long time but...

    Brass life question

    Re: Brass life question +1 on what bugholes said. Most of the time it takes a few firings before the shoulder will be blown all the way out. Loosen the the lock ring and turn the die down another 1/8 turn and try the brass again.

    Re: 6 BR in 22-24 inch BBL-Velocity ??? I don't know about gas gun firing pins and fit but to get the velocities that cheyenne is getting you usually have to have a small diameter firing pin and a bushed bolt or you will be piercing primers. I'm running 105 VLD's a touch over 2800 in 26"...
