    Rifle Scopes Kestrel VS. Zeiss App on Victory V8

    I am trying to determine how to set a Kestrel 5700 ballistic for a Zeiss Victory 4.8x35x60. None of the rings go far enough for the shooting distance so I am using the 000 ring that goes from 0-95 clicks. Top of turret says .5cm/100m=1/6moa. I have determined that means the clicks are 1/6moa...

    Gents, My local range just added a target so we are now 1500 to 3000yds for ELR. I'm having a 7stw rebarrel led to a 1:7 twist now but it doesn't look like I will have enough adj to get to 3000.

    Gun shoots .5-.6 MOA out to 940yds. Shows no pressure signs. I couldn't find any go or no go gauges when we put it together, so we headspace it on a new, unfired Lapua case. I know there is a very small difference between go and no go, that's why I listed it on this particular forum hoping for...

    I am an experienced reloader, but new to 6.5CM. I have some once fired Lapua brass getting light rings about .25" up from the case head. I did the hook test inside case with nothing I can feel. I have neck sized the cases so hopefully not over working the brass. !47 eld is loaded mag length...
