    Devildog Hog 6.5 Creedmoor feed problem. Ideas?

    What a mess. Your bullets shouldn't look like that and your cases shouldn't either. I'd want to borescope it but assuming you dont have one of those?

    KAHLES K624i - EYEBOX COMPARED TO PRESENT SCOPES

    Man, I like my 624 from 2015 or ‘16. If anyone has a mint gen 3 that they’d take less than $1500 for because of all the new stuff, I’ll pay that for another!

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I’m aware of the different mil dimensions used. This scope was supposedly after the change and it was off in the opposite direction. Honestly that was the least of my concerns, click error was consistent across adjustment tested so could have been handled within DOPE and/or ballistic calculator.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    I know you get off on all the finer points of rifle scopes, i just want ones that do the basics well. When it came to the basics, the 3-24x52 I had sucked. Sure, the form factor was nice, image quality was pretty solid (below 20 as you say), turrets were great. But when you can dick around for...

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    They sure make em sound nice on the internet but they did with the 3-24x52s back when as well. And that was a $3k POS. Fool me once..

    Rifle Scopes Hunting Scope suggestions

    Maven rs1.2. Mag range, function, a reticle that’s actual decent at low power, reasonable price. I’d happily trade my LRTS and LRHS2 for another but haven’t quite justified the upcharge. It’s like an improved version with better reticle and mag range for hunting.

    Favorite Trainer Round

    Have you tried Norma? This stuff has been solid for the price. Good enough for practice for me. https://rivertownmunitions.com/product/norma-6-5-creedmoor-130-grain-golden-target-match-hpbt-20-rd-box-200-rd-case-x-2-free-shipping-400-rds-total/...

    Dillon 550 only- Tips, Tricks, Process Q&A thread .

    I finally got myself a 550 and am going to need to buy more tool heads. Armanov seems good but most of my seating dies are Forster micrometer and I’ve read that the armanov toolheads may be a bit thick for some of those seating dies? UniqueTek? Jofer? Whidden? I’ve got analysis paralysis on...

    Ace barrels vs the rest bartlein brux ect...

    Do you know bore diameter and groove count? I know early on it seemed like they started with 6 groove 0.236" bores before adding 0.237 bore. Same with 0.218 vs 0.219 bores.

    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    I do this but different neck thickness and neck tensions still results in a fair bit of adjustment headaches. No way id go back to trim, chamfer, debur in separate steps though.

    Giraud Power Case Trimmer Ya, Nay

    Have a giraud, been happy with it for a long time. I’d take a hard look at the hornady one if starting from scratch now.

    SAUM help choosing.

    Yeah but the heavy 6.5s come with a recoil and velocity penalty. The 130 class .257 pills are pretty dang slick for the weight. Without a brake im lousy at spotting shots with lightweight 6.5s so I’ll take all the help I can get. Brakes suck but especially so on hunting rifles.

    SAUM help choosing.

    Had a couple 6.5 saums and still have a 7 saum. I’d probably do a 25-6.5 PRC before any of them these days but a 25 SAUM sounds cool too. Those 130 class 25s would be lasers.

    Thoughts? Christiansen Arms Mesa vs Tikka T3X

    Neither sounds appealing at all for long range shooting to me - because 6.5# rifle in 300wm isn't a ton of fun. General rifle/company attributes I'd take a tikka over a mesa any day. For 300wm though a tikka factory mag is way too short for loading heavy bullets longer. If you're shooting...

    Describe your perfect scope

    In that vein, cut the 8x+ erector bullshit and make something that is more useful without so many compromises. Make this a 4-20. 3-24x52 March was the most disappointing scope purchase I’ve ever made.

    Seekins ph3

    And an 8 in 6 creed. I don’t get it. But 7 RM gets an 8 twist. Not sure if they or their barrel supplier is just limited on twist options?
