    Powder IN-STOCK thread

    That's crazy, it seemed to be going down there for a while in the last 6 months.

    Spotters Terrapin X vs Sig Kilo 8k

    As far as the original topic, I ended up with the Sig Kilo 8K for now to try out, going to use it as a backup to bino's in NRL and for hunting. The glass is not great, the blue tint is there but the display and laster seem pretty darn good. Played with it a little at a long range course this...

    Spotters Terrapin X vs Sig Kilo 8k

    It can be a rude awakening commenting on a forum, especially one like this where punches are not often pulled and people can be harsh. Thanks for trying to help, don't quit the forum over this, just wanted to give a heads up since I started the thread.

    Spotters Terrapin X vs Sig Kilo 8k

    So glad you chose my thread to enlighten us with random data sheets. We're much more interested in practical applications here than this type of thing, FYI. Not trying to be rude but this is not the purpose of this thread and most shooters aren't going to get anything from this. Lasers are...

    Fierce Fury?

    Holy thread resurrect Batman! Guy’s probably already shot out the barrel on his gun since 2018 when he was asking for advice. That said; glad y’all like the Seekins, they are nice factory guns.

    7mm SAW

    @fmillik, I have not used my Hornady 7 saw die yet but that does seem odd. I’m assuming you used case lube? I have a 22” PROOF carbon I’m shooting suppressed. Saw II chamber. 41.2 grs of Varget yielded me: Avg 2686 FPS ES of 7 , SD of 2.8. (7 shots) with the 162 ELD-M, hope that helps. COAL of...

    StaBall Match Testing - 77gr Reloads, Chasing mk262

    If you’re getting flattened primers at 50 degrees why not drop the charge more? I have learned it’s just better to stay far away from pressure. Moisture, dirty chamber, hot barrel, hot weather, ammo in hot vehicle will all increase pressure. So if you’re getting flattened primers in 50...

    Another when to clean thread

    Accuracy is not the only issue to watch for. Carbon rings and tighter chamber/neck area can happen with a dirty barrel. Those in turn can cause pressure issues at in-opportune times. I trend towards #4 but am starting to do more maintenance every 200-300 rounds in the 6-6.5mm calibers to avoid...

    7 SAW Proof Blank on Tikka Action

    OP, 280 AI or 284 Win would both be good options, although not sure if there are feeding issues with the rebated rim on the 284 in hunting conditions. You'd get a little more velocity with the 280 AI than the SAW I think. I chose the SAW because I didn't want to fireform, I've had good luck...

    7 SAW Proof Blank on Tikka Action

    I built mine at 22" because I'm running it suppressed and seemed to hit pressure a bit early, only getting 2670ish FPS with 162, but yeah, still plenty of energy.

    7 SAW Proof Blank on Tikka Action

    No, I had it done just in time last year but only hunted one day with it. Smashed some rocks with it at 600 + yards when it was clear the deer weren't going to come out before we had to leave, lol. At 4000 DA with my speeds the 162 has about 1500 FT lbs of energy at 550 yards and 1200 ft lbs at...

    7 SAW Proof Blank on Tikka Action

    About 90 FPS slower than what Clay posted on the website. He mentioned to me that he has seen some PROOF's be a bit slower, which has been my experience as well. Doesn't really matter much, don't think the animal's are going to tell the difference and the the thing shoots great. Clay and WTO are...

    7 SAW Proof Blank on Tikka Action

    I built a 7 SAW on a different action, the Alpha WTO brass is awesome. I have a 22" PROOF that I had chambered by my local smith. I'm not getting the same speed as others without hitting pressure but 41.1 grains of Varget gives me 1/2 moa with the 162 ELD-M, 2670 FPS with great ES and SD from...

    Spotters Sig 3K vs 6K vs Fury AB’s

    Good to know, thanks man. I had to miss Dorgan’s match this year.

    Spotters Sig 3K vs 6K vs Fury AB’s

    @SXS00 , what @wpeach1912 mentioned is the biggest test of a rangefinder. SIG has been doing good lately with lasers, I’m curious how good the 6K’s really are at this. The 10k’s are supposedly really good as far as laser. I have to think 10k 2.0 is being worked on with better glass, just hard...

    Spotters Sig 3K vs 6K vs Fury AB’s

    @wpeach1912 I had the 3K’s, they weren’t bad. The 10k’s are more blue but the laser is awesome. 3k laser was pretty good too actually, how’d it do with all the snow in Vernal? I heard it was a tough match, didn’t know if it was hard to range targets.

    Spotters Sig 3K vs 6K vs Fury AB’s

    That’s Good to know, they sound similar to the Leica’s s Far as display. One advantage of the Sigs. Too bad Sig shit the bed on glass with the 10k’s.

    Spotters Sig 3K vs 6K vs Fury AB’s

    Why are you worried about connecting to the kestrel with the Fury’s? They have the full AB Elite ballistics so as long as the sensors update fairly quickly you have your drops. Of course wind is a factor that no binos can sense without a wind meter of some kind. I have found in field matches in...
