Re: Best barrel for first build? My Kreiger MTU is a true 1/4 MOA barrel. 2000 rounds and still holds.

Re: What barrel contours are you using? Great Photos

Re: Oehler 35P vs CED M2 Field Test Results No I didn't The numbers were so blasted close that I just wrapped it up!

Re: barrel selection/recommendations I just went through your exercise and ended up with a Broughton 1/8 It appeared to me that Bartlien and Broughton have the best reputations for 6.5 barrels. That being said, I am currently using a Kreiger on a 6.5 X 47L and it holds 1/4 MOA when I am up...

Re: Oehler 35P vs CED M2 Field Test Results Just Standard Screens!

I know that there have been several requests lately for Chronograph accuracy and repeatability information - so here are the results from my latest field test. The CED M2 was placed 12 feet from the muzzle and the Oehler 35P was placed directly behind the CED (within an inch) Time of day was...

Re: Ballistic FTE (IPhone) Trajectory Question All Thank you for the help I will adjust the BC until things match up better

Re: Ballistic FTE (IPhone) Trajectory Question Roger that! My velocity readings are dead on and have been checked numerous times over two chronographs 2842 fps ES 11 SD 5 The rifle groups about 6" at 1K but I am getting a true error of 2.5 MOA at 1K (Thats Huge)

All I have been working with my Ballistic FTE software and am getting a significant error at long distances. The software gives me fairly good data (+/- .4 MOA ) to 600 yards and then things get off. At 1K I am hitting dead on with 32.5 MOA but the software is telling me 30 MOA. I am shooting...

Re: Chronograph comparison I have found my CED to be very sensitive to low sunlight conditions and others have had the same experiences. Morning shooting with the sun at my 6 is really difficult on the CED - even if the entire unit is in the shade and has a clear view of the sky ???? My best...

Re: Luminox Watches Very Interesting comments on the bands. Mine broke after a year and Lum told me NO Warranty. I have never had a rubber band break that quick and that easily. This whole Navy Seal / Military grade is nothing but a cheep marketing ploy. They are consumer grade watches with a...

Re: Hunting Rifle Build Ideas +1 After killing a Grizzly, I am not nearly as concerned about cartridge selection (within reason) The WSM's are more than enough and the recoil is very manageable allowing you to make s better shot. I used to hunt with the Weatherby family and shot a 300...

Re: Hunting Rifle Build Ideas 2 Years ago I took a trophy class Mountain Grizzly. I used a Borden Rifles 300 WSM with 180 Gr Barnes TTSX. The Bear was at a full run and he didn't go 5 feet from where I hit him. Bullet performance and penetration were spot-on perfect. Best hunting experience ever!

Re: 5R rifling The only thing that I keep hearing is that 5R provided easier cleaning and less fouling Just received my first 5R but haven t used it yet.

Re: My almost complete reloading room! Dude you suck... I hate my reloading set up now!

Re: Brass baked in oven at 350F? Follow up thought. Why don't you reach out to a brass manufacturer and ask them if 350 F for 15 minutes will negatively affect your metallurgy? Cant hurt! I bet they would talk to you.

Re: Brass baked in oven at 350F? Dont know if this will help but I have been doing the very same thing to my Lapua brass in our electric oven (except at 200 F ) for a year now. Probably seven firings and they still behave like new. I actually preheat the oven with the brass inside. I wish we...

Re: Buying high end brass? Straight up! If Lapua doesn't make brass in the caliber I am interest in. I move on to a caliber that they do! Its that good!

Re: Handle modifications to a Forster Co-AX press I purchased the short handle from Forster and love it. Way better feel and the right amount of leverage for sizing 6.5 cases in the 308 family. Cant help you with the roller handle but would buy one from you if you ever decided to go...
