    Khyber Optics Scope Mount?

    Thanks for the reply. I like the idea of a one-piece mount, I guess I will check the mileage. Except for the tiny level it all seems pretty good so far.

    Khyber Optics Scope Mount?

    I know its bad form to reply to your own posts - never mind. So far 51 people have looked this post, no comments. I bought one of the Khyber 1-piece mounts. I have a scope sitting in it. The fit and finish seems good. There are a bunch of places to screw things to the mount. It uses the...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    If you are trying to validate your 0.002 setback, use scotch magic tape. It is gray and translucent and about 0.002 thick. Masking tape is thicker.

    Kahles. Left or Right wind knob?

    As I mentioned above, I am a right-handed shooter. I adjust elevation, parallax, and windage with my left hand. I can imagine doing it with my right hand but not with a left-side-windage scope. In my case, my right hand is for weapon control and operating the safety and trigger control. I...

    Kahles. Left or Right wind knob?

    I am a right handed shooter. I have Kahles scopes on precision guns. I prefer Left Side windage. in order to change windage when using a right-side turret, I have to break my cheek weld and reach over the stock in order to see the right-side turret, not so with left-side windage. If...

    Khyber Optics Scope Mount?

    Brushbeater is offering an optics line called Khyber. Has anyone looked at this scope mount? It looks a little like a Spuhr for about 30% of the cost. Waste of money or a deal?

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks, whatever I shoot it will feed out of the magazine. I use AICS 308 magazines so the max COL is about 2.83 and change. Barrel length will be 26-inches (give or take), Bartlein MTU #7 contour, 5R, 1 in 7.5 twist, glass-bead, and Ace brake.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Thanks for the input. I am leaning toward .170 . When it comes to bullets, I like long-and-heavy. Applied Ballistics says that Berger 154s at 2650 go trans-sonic at about 1600 yards.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I'm thinking that leade is another word for bullet jump. Is that right? In days gone by, bullet jump was from zero to about 25 thou. Has that changed in general or is the 6.5 CM different?

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Hi guys, I am 300-PRC guy but trying out a 6.5 CM for a bit less recoil. At the moment, I plan to shoot Berger 154 gr. I will be shooting out of a magazine. What leade are you using? I have looked around on this thread and I don't see much. Any comments like, "I wish I had ..."? Or, "I did...

    Why do people load so hot?

    I could not care any less what the case weights are. I only care about group size and making good wind calls. If I get those right, with a 308 I can make cold bore 600 yard A-zone and 800 yard silhouettes every time. That is what I care about.

    Why do people load so hot?

    yeah, okay but I'm not doing case volumes with water for 20 cases so I can make a comment on this board. AND, I would have to put primers into the Lapua which I don't want to do. If I did it right, I would make sure they were all trimmed to the same length - wot I am not doing either :) Funny...

    Why do people load so hot?

    I don't care what the velocity is. I shoot for the best consistent group I can get that fits in my magazine including my magpul ar10 mags. The rest is wind reading and math and I have AB for that.

    Why do people load so hot?

    One of the guys who blew up a gun while I was standing there got some shrapnel in his face - his glasses probably saved his eyesight. Most of the shrapnel was in the front of his body. He was wearing a white tee shirt and there were maybe 15 bloody spots I could see as he was jumping around...

    Why do people load so hot?

    Could be I have better than average Lake City LR brass - mine is 2005 thru 2011 - I got a good deal and bought a bunch. I happen to be reloading 308 with LC LR. I grabbed ten random pieces. All had been sized and decapped, primer pockets dirty. I also grabbed ten random pieces of brand new...

    Why do people load so hot?

    You did not read what I wrote. I find where a given case, bullet, powder, primer combination (varying only powder weight) shows pressure then back down. You said that 3rd party people confirm the reloading manual numbers, where is this data confirming reloading manual pressures? Do they...

    Why do people load so hot?

    "you can see the pressure" - sometimes I can and sometimes I don't . It is rare where the book is shooting the same barrel length, bullet, and case. My 308 loads usually show pressure in the primers - I shoot Federal 210Ms and 41.52 grains of IMR 4064. That is a moderate load going about...

    Why do people load so hot?

    If your goal is to make your barrel and brass last forever, then stop shooting. You barrel and brass will last forever, problem solved. If you have other goals, then you balance costs and benefits. A fast bullet shoots flatter and gets down range quicker so it is more tolerant of a...

    Seating question

    After sizing, are the neck outside diameter (OD) pretty much the same - that is, plus or minus .001? Smaller tolerance would be better. If no, then that is a problem you have to solve first, your sizing process is not creating uniform dimensions. If yes (same OD), and you can still feel the...

    Don’t Blow it Shooter !

    When using a barrel vice, I wrap the barrel with a leather strip. I was thinking about getting the brake tight when I don't have a barrel vice. I have those fat APA brakes. I didn't know that AI did that with their barrels, pretty cool, thanks for the info.
