    Rifle Scopes Tracking issues with my Vortex Razor 1-6

    So I'm a big fan of this scope and am very pleased with its overall value. I happen to find out today however that it does not track.... At least not well. I watched a 3 gun tip about having a short yardage zero to keep from having to hold high(just one less thing to remember)on short range...

    head space question

    I have just recently started reloading for a new 6.5x47. This rifle was built by a local builder and this thing will shoot no matter what you feed it.

    Quick question about problem with stainless steel

    Ok so I have cleaned a few batches of both 300WM and 308 using stainless steel media.
