    147 ELD + R16 Loads

    I have some 147 ELDs, R16 powder and Alpha brass I want to start developing this weekend. I'm running it from a Ruger Precision rifle. What's some starting weights for testing? I was thinking of starting at about 41 and then moving up .3 from there. My goal would be nice groups at 2700 and above...

    Seating Depth Into The Case

    I'm loading some 22-250 Hornady cases with a 52 gr. Sierra HPBT. I checked my Base to Ogive but if I seat them .020 off the lands I'm going to be very shallow in the case. I'm thinking to more than 1/16th inch. That's pretty shallow isn't it? The rifle in a Remington 700 varmint . Thanks

    Spotting Scopes Or Telescopes?

    I was shooting last week with several people and with my kind of cheap spotting scope I couldn't see holes on white at 550 yards. I asked the guys to my left and right and they said they couldn't see there's either at 350 and 550 yards. They were using Vortex, Sig, Leopold and a Barska. At...

    Spotting Scopes

    What spotting scope do you need to see hits on steel at 1000 yards or more. I don't want to spend more than a 1000 or so and would prefer less but I want something that would work. Thanks

    Ballistic Calculators Variation

    I ran the same settings using the Hornady and Nikon online calculators and there is a lot of difference. The Nikon Spot on shows a velocity lose of only 500 fps in 1000 yards, this can’t be right. I running a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 142 grain HPBT, 580 bc at 2610 fps. The Nikon shows a moa...

    6.5 Creedmoor Load with Alpha Brass

    I'm working up a load for my RPR 6.5 Creedmoor using small primer Alpha brass. I'm using H4350 and 142 Sierra HPBT and 450 primers. Tonight I worked up to 41.2 grains that gave me 2660 fps. The brass shows no pressure issues and I was planning on going on up .3 at a time. What is thought to be...

    6.5 Creedmoor Lapua Brass Primer Issues

    I was thinking of getting Lapua brass for my 6.5 creedmoor but the small primer pocket and flash hole has me worried. I have a Hornady press and will buy Hornady dies but how do you prime and deprime with these odd cases? Thanks for any help.
