    Help.

    Good luck! I’ll be curious to see how this turns out for you. The OCW and ladder tests Spife7980 referred to are great methods and I second his suggestion to use a longer range than 200 if you can. Although, I do quite a bit of load development at 200 simply because I have a 200yd range about...

    Looking for New Boots

    I’m guessing you found some boots by now? I’m curious what you picked after getting advice on every possible type of boot out there, lol! What kind of boot to recommend depends on the hunting and hiking you do. I can give you some advice from a hunting guide’s perspective but I’d need to know...

    School me on spotting scope mounts/ball heads

    I think IÂ’m going to get the pan head from The Outdoorsmans: https://outdoorsmans.com/products/outdoorsmans-pan-head My spotting scope is, first and foremost, for hunting and scouting; and their head is very light and and very smooth. This scope is really heavy (comparatively) but I opted...

    6.5 4s/PRC vs 300wm for PRS ELR

    FWIW, I'm building a SwitchLug rifle in 6.5 SAUM and 300WSM on a TL3 so I have the choice. Could just as easily do it with one of those 700sa's you've got. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Swarovski STR 25-50x80 protection/case

    I'm going through this right now. Lots of people recommend the Kite Optics Skua case but a Eagle Optics is their only NA distributer. Eagle only has SOME covers and will not order anything for you because they're closing their doors. I emailed Kite and they're working on finding a new...

    Vortex binocular suggestion?

    I use the 10x42s for guiding and love them. If I need to see farther I use a spotting scope. They're VERY comfortable to wear and I'll often wear mine in my Kuiu harness all day long. The 50's are just too heavy for me to use the way I use mine. More than 10x has too much image wobble for me...

    vortex fury HD range finding binoculars

    These look really interesting and I'm a van of Vortex Viper binos - been using mine for 2 years as a full time/year-round outfitter/guide. But I'd kinda like to see what Sig comes out with. I can't imagine that they don't have a rangefinding bino in the works. I love my Kilo 2000 and I've been...

    School me on spotting scope mounts/ball heads

    I'm looking for a ball head (or some other mount) for a Swaro ATX 85mm (4.1lbs) to go on a Slik CF tripod AND a window mount. My new scope is arriving later this week. My current setup is an old Meopta 65mm on a BogGear trigger head; but I really do not like the trigger head because it's super...

    Tripod for scouting and hunting

    Dang, I didn't know y'all have ringnecks up there! I grew up in Moose, Wyo, just north of Jackson and I didn't know what a ringneck was until I got here...almost 30 years ago. I thought they're were a Texas 'thing!' You lucky dog! I'd love to move back up there but my wife and kids are pure...

    Tripod for scouting and hunting

    Chorizo - Thanks for the input! I like that setup. I use that BogPod bipod for calling all the time. Never thought of using it as a rear support before. Nice to have that much room off your porch. I can only reach 250 from mine and have to drive 3 miles to the ranch to stretch out past 400...

    Issues reloading .300WM

    Keep us updated. Inquiring minds want to know. Good luck with Redding. I've called them twice to ask questions and the "tech guy" was an absolute retard that was the typical east coast jerk with attitude. Hope you have better luck. Sure sounds to me like you have an out-of-spec die. Sent...

    6.5cm 140gr velocities & higher charge weight (H4350) questions

    I'm curious what velocities people are finding their accuracy nodes at with 140gr bullets; and what charge weights people are using on the upper limits and where they're seeing pressure signs? Particularly with Lapua brass and H4350? I've been loading for a 6.5cm for a couple years now, with...

    OCW vs Ladder vs Plain FPS

    With ES that low on both, I'd need more info, like 308Pirate said. I understand your point and it's something that Scott Saterlee pointed out. He said, given these 2 groups: Load 1: ES=25 Group size= .5moa Load 2: ES=5 Group size=1moa ...he'd choose Load 2 for shooting distance. I'm about...

    Tripod for scouting and hunting

    I hear a lot of people using a Slik 700DX and I'm wondering if that isn't awfully heavy? I've got a PRST tripod (http://stores.hogsaddle.com/prst-carbon-fiber-tripod/) that I use with my Hog Saddle that only weighs 4.1 pounds, bare, plus the weight of the ball head and saddle (3.4lbs) and it's...

    Sig Sauer 2400 GO!!!

    Has anyone figured out if you can use Weatherflow's Bluetooth wind meter instead of the phone jack model that comes with the K2400? I'm considering buying a K2400 but my iPhone doesn't have a phone jack and I already own the Bluetooth Weatherflow that I use with several ballistic apps. I can't...

    Issues reloading .300WM

    I use the same die on my 300wm and I don't have any issues bumping the shoulder. Off the top of my head: A. Are you trying to bump beyond SAMMI specs? They won't do that, if you are. B. Is your decapping rod or pin making contact inside the shell somewhere and preventing the die fro doing the...

    Primer choice for 6.5cm, Lapua brass & H4350?

    Can't decide what primer to use for the first load development on my new 6.5cm custom. I've been using CCI 450's on a Savage 6.5cm recently. I've got some BR-4 and some Federal 205M laying around also. I'm starting with 140gr Berger Elite Hunters and, like the title says, I'm using Lapua brass...

    Load data for Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor brass

    Normally, most precision bolt action reloaders use .002 as a neck tension. This is enough tension to hold by 300wm reloads in place under recoil. I used to use .002 for my Creedmoor but when I got a custom rifle built in 6.5cm I switched to .001 tension. There's so little recoil that I don't see...
