    long range rangefinders

    I have a leica 1200 the problem is the target at that distance needs to be in the right light and also you better be rock steady to get an accurate reading at that range. Round bales and buildings are tough but to range a deer or a coyote at 1200 you need to be very,very steady to be accurate, I...

    problems with powder burn rate charts!

    I looked at the burn rate charts provided on here and you look at Hodgon and they list varget much slower burn rate than does the reload bench? How can that be? Reload B has Varget faster than IMR 4064 and Hodgon has it much slower than IMR 4064? How can one have 2 differenr burn rates? It is...

    If you had to choose IMR 4895 or Varget for .243

    Thanks I have all 3 minus RL19, I have some 4350 rounds loaded and ready to try as well, but what I have shot so far no real differance in groups between 38 grains of IMR 4895 and 38 of Varget with the 80, with a 1-9 1/8 twist I'm thinking my low bullet choice is the 80 and I don't mind that...

    Question on head space?

    OK I'm thinking on head space issues, if we start with new brass neck sized or FL sized, I hear all new brass is under sized to fit in all guns, wouldn't that cause head space issues as well? We need to worry about over sizing in a FL die, do they make the brass even smaller than new brass? Or...

    Question on FL sizing has me stumped?

    Thanks guys I did just that and it solved the problem, the redding instructions made it sound like you didn't want to go lower than die touching shell holder, as you all stated it didn't take much and now they will chamber in the gun, I went just very little at a time until it would chamber the...

    How about a 90 grain accubond in 6mm/243?

    this is a dual gun for coyotes and my son to use deer hunting, 2900 FPS and bone I'm betting I wouldn't get the same performance with the bal tip as a bonded bullet. He is new to deer hunting and I want something that may help less than perfect shot placement for a good kill. I like the swift...
