    Just got my first Atlas (V8)...not sure I like it

    Re: Just got my first Atlas (V8)...not sure I like it I made some quick videos showing the issues. Are these suppose to do this? Loose Legs: http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/2135/legs.mp4 Notice the ball mount which provides cant/pan is not moving. This is purely play in the leg locking...

    Just got my first Atlas (V8)...not sure I like it

    Re: Just got my first Atlas (V8)...not sure I like it Here is a picture showing how it doesn't stabilize until the cant runs out. The rifle is level. The leg locking mechanism has some play in it (which you would expect with any mechanical device), but mine seems a bit much. With the legs...

    Just got my first Atlas (V8)...not sure I like it

    Just picked up a V8 and the claw feet. It seems decently well made, but I'm not sold on it yet. The key issue for me seems to be that when you load the bipod the ball mount moves. Yes, I realize you can tighten the ball (big twist knob), but I can't seem to load the bipod sufficiently for my...

    What range to build .338LM load data at?

    Generally, the advise has been to work up loads at a distance greater than 100 yards with the long range .338LM rounds. What distance have you found to be ideal? I.e. if a load shoots good at X yards, it usually shoots good for all distances past that.

    Firing pin hole to large?

    Re: Firing pin hole to large? For a field gun I won't push pressure like benchrest does, but getting primer flow is a problem. When the round is ejected, a little bit of that flow can get broken off and end up in the firing pin assembly. If this happens it can cause light firing pin strikes...

    Firing pin hole to large?

    Re: Firing pin hole to large? I've just never had a rifle that would do it every time. Don't want to work a load up an in the process, before other pressure signs are evident, rupture a primer on nearly 90gr of powder. Probably wouldn't be too pleasant.

    Firing pin hole to large?

    The manufacturer told me this is fine, but I'm not quite sure. The rifle is a DTA SRS. I have the .308 and .338 bolts. I have shot lots of rounds through the .308 and only get primer flow when I push the pressure. This is what I expect. However, on the .338LM I get primer flow every time...

    Compressed Loads w/ slow burning powders ... ?

    Re: Compressed Loads w/ slow burning powders ... ? Like always, it depends on a lot of things. Not a tactical gun, but I have a long range varmint gun (300 Varminter). It is a .300WSM throated for the 125gr BT or 110gr Vmaxs. I get great ES with a compressed load of 74.5gr of H4350 and a...

    Fieldcraft Cerakote a scope

    Re: Cerakote a scope Are there any downsides to coating the scope and then mounting it in the rings? Vice versa?

    Re: This is crazy! Only a five day suspension! What kind of human being actually contemplates doing this to another?

    Fieldcraft Cerakote a scope

    Thinking of cerakoting a scope multicam. Was thinking of putting the base coat on with out the rings, then mounting it, and finally putting the final camo over the scope and rings at once. How does everyone go about coating their scopes/rings?
