    Re: Is this cratering I should worry about? Thanks, that is very reassuring. Any idea why I am getting that ridge?

    how much load development?

    Re: how much load development? I definitely prefer shooting than load development, so I develop a load until it shoots about a MOA or so and then just shoot. I've had excellent luck with IMR4064 in a variety of different .30 caliber cartridges. I seat about .020" of the lands, then work up...

    Is this cratering I should worry about?

    I loaded up some 7mm 162gr Amax bullets and noticed a slight rim/crater on the higher charge. The gun is a 7mm-08 Stevens 200, stock sporter weight barrel. The load was a 308 Lake City surplus case sized down to 7mm (and trimmed appropriately), CCI 200 primer, and IMR 4064 at 38.0 grains and...

    Dual Bipod Studs

    Re: Dual Bipod Studs Put the bipod on the front one. The idea is to put it forward of the sling so that it does not dig into you when you carry it around. Switching the order ensures that the bipod will DEFINITELY dig into you, and you would be better of just clipping the sling to the bipod...

    Tripod for chronograph?

    Re: Tripod for chronograph? Agreed, buy the cheapest tripod you can find. You want to be amused if you accidentally shoot the tripod, not pissed off

    Interesting Outing With Mil-Dot Scope

    Re: Interesting Outing With Mil-Dot Scope Note that on many (most?) scope, the magnification dial is not calibrated perfectly, meaning that even though you set the dial for "10x", it may be some other magnification (eg 9.5x). On my Vortex Crossfire 6-24, the reticle is supposed to be a true...

    Shooting in snow?

    Re: Shooting in snow? I was out during the start of a blizzard we had out East today (still raging, actually). Just my luck, as soon as I get to my range, the snow and wind kick up, with the wind blowing directly into my face. I couldn't where I was hitting even at 100 yards through my...

    Spotting Scope & Tripod

    Re: Spotting Scope & Tripod As has been mentioned, the biggest factor in seeing anything at 600 yards is mirage. The Hubble would have difficulty at my range on a hot sunny day in the summer, as the mirage is just too great (we shoot over a swamp, so it is particularly bad). On overcast...

    Knife Sharpener

    Re: Knife Sharpener I use the Lansky system and it works great. Relatively compact, and reasonably priced.

    What size bipod rail for Savage F/TR?

    Re: What size bipod rail for Savage F/TR? My F/TR came with a sling stud that slid into the channel, via which you can attach a harris bipod. Failing that, the bipod boss also works. Just be advised that with a leverloc on your Harris, you have to position the bipod boss backwords and won't...

    On a budget need to buy Spotting Scope..

    Re: On a budget need to buy Spotting Scope.. Check out the Celestron C90: http://www.adorama.com/CNC90N.html?utm_s...;utm_term=Other I have the previous generation. Very good optics, only issue can be too much magnification on hot days with lots of mirage.

    Rifle Scopes Swiss K-31 Scope ???s

    Re: Swiss K-31 Scope ???s Buy the clamp on side mount. I have one and it is a much better setup than a rear tangent sight. The only issue is you have to kind of reach your head over an extra inch, which can make the wood stock batter your cheek a bit in recoil. Putting an Eagle cheek pad...

    Danner TFX with goretex or not?

    I'm strongly considering getting a pair of Danner TFX boots, but am debating between the goretex model or the "hot weather" model. I'm up in the Northeast, so we get the full run of temperatures up here. I would like to be able to use these in the summer though, so does anyone have a good...

    Rifle Scopes Decent $200-$300 spotting scope?

    Re: Decent $200-$300 spotting scope? Celestron C90: http://www.adorama.com/CNC90N.html I have the previous version, and it is a LOT of scope for the money. It is big and cumbersome, but the optics are quite clear. Using a different eyepiece than what was supplied, I was just barely able...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Crossfire

    Re: Vortex Crossfire I have the 1 inch $99 model from SWFA. Sharpness is very good, though contrast is pretty bad throughout the whole zoom range. Turrets feel very good, nice solid clicks, and they seem accurate though I haven't done a box test. Plus you get the Vortex warranty -...
