I have 2 6.5 twist 26” Bartlein 5R barrels. They are on two different but similarly built rifles. I would be cautious of using 6.5 twist and trying to push them fast, I had issues with throwing jackets in both rifles. I think I was getting in the 3200-3300 fps range with the 95smk. I had to...

That stinks. Understandable why you need it and don’t want to send it in, I was just wondering. 8 rifles, that’s a lot to be doing load development at once for, good luck.

I guess people like to read what they want? I actually said “companies may not be able to afford it or choose not to because they don’t see a benefit cost wise to do it”. Meaning they want to make a higher profit margin on the product. Which is fine with me but it may or may not cost them...

Sounds like a faulty unit to me if you done everything suggested here, do not know what else you can try. Just to make sure because I don’t think I saw it above(only saw you say it was shipped with the latest firmware version),what is the version on start up? It should say FW-A 1.2.4 and...

For several months I had been trying to decide between a Labradar and a magneto speed. At the time I didn’t have a tripod and need one for my rifle and other optics. Regardless of the chronograph I had to get a good tripod so that was not considered...

Was posting at same time you were, just saw this response.

Ohh and to kind of answer your question, I wouldn’t want to remove any material if possible. I have used a primer pocket uniformer but that is to take off material at the bottom of the pocket and not the sides and I don’t think that would help your issue. I would think you would need to take...

I’m assuming these are SRP. I have 22cm and 6.5 cm alpha brass in SRP as well as some with LRP. When I first started seating primers had issue with the SRP being pretty tight. I use hand primer and if brass was not aligned perfectly I would have the issues you are talking about. I can...

I am assuming that the Leica has-r 2700 have the same glass and similar capabilities as the 3000 other than just not ranging quite as far. I had a chance to use my father in laws Leicas this weekend with my sigs. Clearly the glass is better in the leicas but to me it’s not an astonishing...

What SpeedR said. I’ve also had good luck with Hornady ammo and the 6.5cm, shoots well. I shoot a decent amount so I reload for 6.5cm mostly now. Glad you were able to get it figure out, hope you don’t have any more issues with primer ignition. The head space gauge is a invaluable tool for...

Not saying this couldn’t be an issue, not sure on firing pin hole size on those rifles but I would start with the brass if it was me because like I said in the previous post if you have die touching the shell holder you are more than likely pushing shoulder way back. This needs fixed regardless...

What speedyr said is what I was trying to clear up in my last post. I understood that you were resizing new brass? If you were resizing new brass by setting up your die with it touching the shell holder then you were moving the shoulders back significantly probably. In my experience new brass...

if I understood correctly you were sizing the new brass? If you were just loading the new brass then I retract my statement about it probably being a headspace issue but you should still setup you die with minimal shoulder bump and not by turning it all the way down till it touches the shell...

I know several of the die companies tell you to set the die up by running it down all the way but that is really incorrect. You do not need the competition shell holders to adjust the headspace, you just have to back die out unit you are just barely touching the shoulders. The best way to do...

If you are running die all the way down to shell holder it definitely sounds like it’s a headspace issue. You are probably bumping the shoulders back several thousandths. When you are firing a round this means the case is moving forward several thousandths in the camber before it hits the...

There is a blue hue in the right side and the left side is more orange/yellowish. I cannot see the blue or yellow color at all when using both eyes, the colors mix and give a neutral hue between the blue and yellow. That’s is how my eyes perceive it anyways but I could see where some people’s...

Hmm I just got some from powder valley but tempted to run over there, I’m in Odessa right now.

No, mine literally move on their own, white mark does not help because while I am using them they are turning. I had to actually hold them in place with my finger, if I didn’t they were unusable. That’s why I had to wrap them with electrical tape, now they work great but pretty big design...

Overall, other than the diopter issue I like the BDX. I do t use the ballistics in the bino so cant comment on that.

The diopter issue is frustrating and a little ridiculous. The diopter on my set of BDX actually move on there own. I had been using them in TX just fine (they moved easy but I wasn’t too bothered by it) and went to CO to elk hunt and every time I pulled them out up there they were out of focus...
