    Night Vision Thermal or NV scanner

    The guides in CO used these scouting for elk and let me try it out, worked amazingly.

    284win/shehane with copper bullets

    I only tried one load in my 284 Win Tikka with the 168 LRX. At 2.490" CBTO, 50.5 gr H4350 gave me 2770 fps (24" barrel), but got heavy extractor marks. I was getting 80 fps faster and no pressure signs with the 168 ABLR so I gave up on the LRXs. The ABLRs worked great on elk this season, so zero...

    6.5 Grendel

    The Grendel is a great short/medium deer hunting round, and that's what I use in my AR for MN/WI hunting under 300 yds. Can't comment on bolt action or single shot. I know the bolt gun guys load a bit longer and hotter, and for my load (129 ABLR) I'm really limited by mag length so it's only...

    7-6.5 PRC

    It's a cool cartridge, a great size for the long bullets especially on a medium action. But I'd think neck turning would be required. Both from necking up (shoulder brass is usually thicker than in the neck) and because those long bullets seated at SA mag length are well into the neck-shoulder...

    Weird accuracy issues

    This sounds like a great use case for a barrel tuner. If they'll ship to you, the ATS works well for me.

    284 winchester. Long or Medium(defiance, Origin) length action

    Long. Here are OALs to the lands in my X-Caliber prefit. Works great in my Tikka, more of a medium action.

    accurate scale that measures to .01

    My GemPro 250 measures to 0.02 gr and I got it for $80 shipped used, but I've seen them go for insane prices even used lately. I'd agree with above, get an FX-120i if that precision is a real requirement. You can get them for $500 from Cambridge.

    Athlon Helos BTR G2 vs Arken SH4 G2

    Old post I know, but hoping for a follow-up on this. Is the 4-20 Helos still doing well? Noticed any zero shift issues (cough LHT cough)? How is tracking if you've tested it? I'm looking for a decently lightweight FFP scope with locking turrets in the 3-18ish mag range for an elk trip, and...

    Action Length for ELR

    I'm not familiar with the differences in those actions, but if you're just starting a 375 CT build, you saw this, right? https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/375-cheytac-build-parts-bat-action-proof-cf-barrel.7100544/#post-9862601

    Caliber change options for Tikka T3x Long Actions

    You're going to need to add a lot more detail (intended purpose, requirements re weight etc, budget) that's probably better suited to a different thread. Or just keep reading other threads. Yes, Tikkas aren't the best for the big LA magnums if you're handloading longer than SAAMI OALs, but you...

    Alpha 6BRA brass?

    There's a thread on Accurate Shooter on it, some incredible groups at 1k using Alpha brass. If the price difference vs. Lapua ($120 vs $98 or so) isn't a concern that's what I'd go for. That said, Rocketman isn't wrong, fireforming is really simple too (unless you have an improperly headspaced...
