Worked up a load with R17 under a 185gn Berger OTM came in at 49.5gn. The fps was unreal at first that came in at 2763 10 shot average. The brass is match Hornady and the bullet is just touching the lands. My rifle is a bone stock 5R 24" barrel, and so far I love the load. It's held 2" groups at...

I would start in the lands with 74gn of H1000 and work up in .5 increments till I saw pressure then stop. Most find accuracy around 75.5-76.5 even some like the higher node around 77-78. The A-max is some what like a VLD it needs to be in the lands rather than chasing an over all length with a...

I own a 26 inch barreled 5R and love it and had a friend who owned a Sendero.With that said they both shoot really well,but with the 5R already threaded taking out the smith work I'd go with the 5R.Plus the 2 inch difference shouldn't hurt that much.

sand polish lube works every time

I've been useing the same mink oil can for abot 15 years now,and it cost me about $3.Now its about half used and sorry it not new news to me.

yep you got the wrong one my friend.Like one said pull it out some,but think in your case this wouldn't help you.Call the people you ordered from,even check to make sure you ordered the right one,I'd bet they will make it right,or I would hope so,people make mistakes.Many orders go out from many...

I am with ya thrusty,if it is what it is I'll to just add more moa in a higher moa base.But one would think with the lowest set of rings my case ( tps low steel ) and a 20moa base it should alteast be closer to the 52.5moa range,rather than just getting 10 more from the base.This is why I asked...

grayghost how high is the bottom of the bell from the barrel on your rifle.I ask for I too have the same or close to same amount of travel as the OP.If not wrong I have 42 MOA with my rifle/scope ( PST same as OP ) Plus this thread alone just has me woundering,like one said above with 65moa...

I have the same scope with all most the same setup.With my slow ( 2544fps ) 175gn smk load I too have the same amount of up travel as you.When I talked to Vortex I asked if I should go with a 30moa base,was told not to for it might hurt the scope by bottoming out the turret.Made since at the...

clean out your spent primers from the press and deprime,just take it slow and you will be OK

hold on now Bryan knows his stuff,and if he offers a great tip then one should use it.He wouldn't have offered the tip if he thought or knew it was a bad one in the first place.The OP has already said to the fact of it being a ball powder and this may be the cause.I'll take Bryan's word any day...

thats good,Because now that you said something about your barrel length,Bryan was useing a 26" barrel.This is why it was hard for my friend to work up a load on QL with his barrel,thats 26" all so.You should be OK for you are getting 3000fps from your barrel.If I had the book I would say more...

This would be my take on this,the 50mm bell/lens should allow enogh light for dark30.Even on a good full to 3/4 full moon night you should be able to just point and aim,when your eyes have adjusted to the light.Plus having the illumanated ret your good to. I just ordered this scope but in a sfp...

I cannot say to what powder would be a good choice,but Bryan Litz has a great read on the bullet ( 230 hybrid ) A good friend of mine just got through reading it and was telling me about it.Bryan had the 230gn bullet out doing a 338 Lapua with a 250gn bullet.The specs he talked about would make...

Ok I just wanted to thank all that gave their opinion to what and why I should buy for a scope.I want to add that a Vortex is on its way.Your kind words has helped me to make a cal,that best fits my needs.I am sure sooner than later I will be getting another scope to go on another rifle of...

OK I see just as many Sightron votes as the Vortex,but none of the Sightron owners have been able to say the ret is OK for hunting.Maybe one gent has posted,yes there was one guy that posted it was OK for hunting.The two I like for a ret is the one posted on this thread and the fine line with a...

guys I can say that at the least I willl be useing 12x even for a 100 yard shot on a deer.My eyes have to have it that way,been that way for some time now.I too plan on a lot of trigger time before I take a shot thats never been done ( for me anyways ) I was taught to make a kill shot and what...

OK in my case the one place I love to hunt has shots from zero to 1000,but most of the time the deer come out at 300 -1000 yards away,mostly in low light.Even adding that they mostly come out at around 700 or more yards away.So this is why I have picked the illumanated scope,so that I can light...

OK from all that I just read,you guy are saying that I need a SFP scope for my needs.( hunting and target shooting ) I ask because I have my eyes on the Vortex viper 6-24x50 with a illumanated EBR ret.So I ask will I be better off with the SFP or the FFP,I ask this for I want to be able to see...
