    243 win. Look at my numbers, and let me know where you would go

    After a couple hours thinking about it, 3.5 grains of powder for 75 fps doesn't make a lot of sense.

    243 win. Look at my numbers, and let me know where you would go

    I can see extractor marks with a flashlight. I can't see the edges of the extractor, I can see a dull spot on the brass. I do not think a coyote will know the difference between velocities, but at night its not hard to think its 300 yds, and it be 400. A couple inchs difference in drop could...

    Tikka T3 243 win KRG chassis Lapua brass Federal match primer COAL 2.79 This will mainly be a thermal coyote rifle, but the occasional deer/pronghorn might not be out of the question. With that in mind, I went with the 90gr ELDX, and H4350. Temperature sensitivity will be very important on...

    Odd velocity readings

    The barrel heating up sounds like the most likely cause to me. I didn't forget that tidit, I am getting all the opinions people have to offer.

    Odd velocity readings

    Barrel is not clean, but the rifle only has about 40 rounds through it, so its not dirty either.

    Odd velocity readings

    I have had in the past consistent reading in a shot string that were higher, or lower than I expected, but the SD's were consistent. I could see that being light, or cloud's effecting the chrono's reading. These 6 shots are being taken in the course of 2 minutes. For grin's I just loaded up...

    Odd velocity readings

    The barrel has about 40 rounds through it (just finished the build last week). I cleaned it after 10 mild shots, and haven't cleaned it since. I'm not worried about "I missed that shot because of 20 FPS velocity", its more of an interesting thing Ive never seen that I was curious if could be...

    Odd velocity readings

    I just had another thought. Im loading on a old acculab 123. Could my scale be jumping? I would think this is unlikley, but possible??? I think all rounds were fired in order of loading, but Im not 100% certain. I also realize this difrence will matter .1 MIL at 800 yards, so its not the...

    Manners Customer Service

    Ive had 10 Manners stocks. The most recent one was a EH5A. There was an issue that was not the stock's fault, it was the actions fault. They had me sent the stock, and action back so they could fit the stock to it since it would be easier to modify than the action. Its the first time Ive...

    Rifle Scopes 6-8 Months delivery from Vortex

    So you bought through Optics planet, who everyone knows get very limited shipments on Vortex items. Its easy to sell something cheap that you know you wont be able to deliver on for a year (I realize they are probably telling you 2 weeks, but history tells a different story.) So, you have a...

    Rifle Scopes 6-8 Months delivery from Vortex

    Some vendors get more than others. If you order from a place that gets 1 when some of the others mentioned here are getting 20 then it will take the guy getting 1 longer to get to you. A&A optics from the Vortex email has them in stock.

    Which custom action

    I dont care how it ejects, as long as it does. I dont care how it feeds as long as it does, I dont care about interchangeable bolt heads. Im basically going custom action becaues by the time you buy a 700, and blue print it, then your close to custom action money, and a custom action has better...
