    Range Report Anybody have 300 grain bergers coming apart? Pic included

    Not 300's, but... I've got the exact same thing happening with 7mm 180's.. the target hybrids specifically, of all bullets* Puffs of smoke and pieces just like that splatter on your cardboard. I for one would be curious to hear what Berger says. Mine seem to be an anomoly in the 7mm class...

    Has Tangent given a date as to when the entire shipments will be reaching vendors, like yourselves?

    Rifle Scopes Tangent Theta - TT525P

    Orkan, I may have missed it being mentioned, but were you sent (one, 5-25) so far, just to test out and get a look at? Or the first of a whole shipment already??

    Rifle Scopes Scope with most "Color Pop"?

    One of my scopes is a Hensoldt, as far as any significant "color-pop" goes, I'd say Hensoldt be the way to go. If a guy keeps a look-out in the for-sale ads here on the hide, you'll come across the odd one listed and often under $3000. If I was you, considering the circumstances in your eyes...

    Range Report 7mm Rem Mag 180gr VLD vs 180gr Hybrid Target

    About the only thing that could be the curveball in my results is my chrony itself, the only damn thing I can figure is maybe it's "off" and giving lower than real readings... I've probably put 1000+ rounds over it since I got it a couple yrs back, been noticing alot more false reads the last...

    Range Report 7mm Rem Mag 180gr VLD vs 180gr Hybrid Target

    Powder is Retumbo, same as yourself. And yah, accuracy with the Hybrids is excellent.. at 200y I had them grouping at & under an inch with speeds of 3075... Problem is the odd one blows mid air, as I mentioned. I've read of guys such as Kirby Allen run into this problem in his Allen mags but...

    Range Report 7mm Rem Mag 180gr VLD vs 180gr Hybrid Target

    Not sure it's anything unique.. Krieger 1:8 Obermeyer 5R, also 26" I ran the 190 Matrix vld's to about the same speeds as these Berger 180's (but) had far more of the 190's dust* Was almost ridiculous, something like 2 in 6 weren't making the targets... puff's of smoke mid air as if shooting...

    Range Report 7mm Rem Mag 180gr VLD vs 180gr Hybrid Target

    KY... What is your muzzle velocity? And how hard have you (or anyone reading this) pushed those hybrids, & in what barrel-twist?? I've got an 8 twist 5r on my firebird, worked up to 3175 and started seeing pressure... exceptional accuracy at 3075 but had 2 of the last 15 during load-finalizing...

    Pics of where you shoot

    See if mine attaches properly..! Range is out in one of the pastures, private land. Targets out to 1300. Lake bends around off to the left for another half-mile or so.. makes for tricky & tough-to-call wind on the 800-1300 targets, often dead-calm at the guns but blowin' to beat hell 3/4 the way...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt vs. Schmidt revisited

    I have to agree with you on the CW/CCW thing.. only in my case it is opposite. I have spent such an amount of time this last year behind my Hensoldt (with CW turrets) that when I got back to my NXS this last month or so I found myself initially turning (them) the wrong direction! Amazing how...

    Help with Temperature and Elevation change and POI change

    Higher elevation (in general) makes for thinner air and less drag on a bullet. However, colder air makes for thicker air and slows a bullet. Extreme swings is where a guy sees drastic changes in poi.. in all reality, 200 yard zero will not change regardless where or what you shoot. As mentioned...

    Rifle Scopes What REALLY happens if you turn elevation knob too far?

    I've had my hensoldt to it's lowest position repeatedly & it's max a few times as well.. never been an issue arise in mine. Have done the same on my nightforce & not yet seen anything happen with it either. I've often wondered whether using them at their max (in either direction) would effect or...

    Rifle Scopes What distance is a 20 MOA base needed?

    Are any of you guys using 40 minute rails? Or 20 minute mounts in conjunction with an additional 20moa rail?? I have a rifle fitted with a 20moa rail and recently ordered a 20 moa spuhr mount to put an nxs (100moa/without a zero stop) scope in. The way I figured, it should put my "zero" damn...

    Rifle Scopes US optics T-pal 34mm owners and Spuhr mounts

    I have a similar question. I use a 3.5-15x50 NXS on one of my rifles, NO ZERO-STOP but 20moa turrets... the rail I've got on that rifle right now is a 10MOA rail, and my zero (right now) is two & a half rotations (50moa) up from the scopes very-bottom elevation adjustment. My intentions are to...

    Rifle Scopes What mount did you use on your 34mm glass?

    "Near" out of Alberta Canada.. ships south regularily and in short order (fast as overnight if you want it) I have his alphamount on one of mine, if I recall correct it was in the $325-375 range, don't remember off-hand. His stuff is highest quality, supplies RCMP and militaries with select...

    Variations in OAL when seating my bullets? I could use some help on this one.

    I'm not familiar with 308, personally I shoot magnums over & above anything else.. BUT, (can say in the case of magnums) I have seen my own seating depths vary like that once the necks start becoming badly hardened* Annealing cured my issue. Softened the brass and is giving me MUCH more...

    Is weight sorting Laupa brass necessarry?

    I have to lean in favor of this ^^^ ...however, it may show more evident differences (imo) as you go up in case size (ex: RUM's & such) vs. a 308 or smaller capacity of that sort I haven't tested smaller casings* BUT.. By weight-sorting (my/bigger capacity) brass I did see a shrink in my "es"...

    Rifle Scopes zero change taking scope off and on?

    I would imagine that whether it holds zero after removal and re-install probably has alot to do with the rail itself and the mount your scope is in.. (I would think a mil-spec 1913 rail would be of the highest precision) So mating that with a Near (or badger/etc) set of ring-mounts, especially a...

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    Justin, How could I place an order for one to fit my 995..? I'm in Canada. Would there be any of them "in-stock" anyplace (here) or do I order direct through KRG, or how exactly?? Also, is it a Gen4 or which exactly that is left remaining to fit these 995 actions?

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    Guys I'm curious.. I've got a couple m995 rifles. Is there any special bottom metals or bedding of any sort involved with swapping an action/barrel out of a current "stock" and dropping it into a KRG? I'm seriously thinking of ordering one of the Gen4's with folder for mine (if it in-particular...
