    New F-Class Rifle

    Rifle Scopes Alaskan Cruise- Spotter or Binoculars

    Getting ready to head north for an Alaska cruise. I'm thinking of quickly ordering something like a Kowa spotting scope to take along to help see stuff from our balcony.

    6.5x47 Load Lengths

    Most if the 6.5x47 handload threads concentrate on grains of powder and velocity. I'm still working with my gunsmith to come up with the optimum throat length for the Lapua 123/139 and Berger 130 bullets. Many of you have suggested 0.109 freebore but I don't know what COAL and, more importantly...
