    Quick range trip 850 yards

    NightForce emailed me back, 35X is the max magnification for the 7-35x56, if reducing to 17.5X because of mirage, etc, then each line is 2 MOA. If dialing down to between 35 and 17.5, then I got to do the Math to get the exact MOA per line. Example, Dialing down to 25X will be 35 divided by...

    Quick range trip 850 yards

    Jim, the new ATACR 7-35 x 56 SFP I purchased last month does not have any letter R on it or any of my ATACR 5-25 x 56 for some reason. It says to adjust focus at the highest magnification which is 25X and 35 X for the new scope, so is the true reticle at those magnifications? I haven't been...

    Quick range trip 850 yards

    Very good point, the ATACR 5-25 true reticle is at maximum which is 25X, I always leave it on at 25X. I don't even remember lowering the magnification at all. Anyways, I'm curious on how true reticle works and how much MOA will change with certain magnifications for the ATACR 5-25 and 7-35...

    Quick range trip 850 yards

    Agreed, its nuts. .22 shooting is tougher than centerfires because of the poor BC and its a slow moving bullet, its a challenge and helps to learn to read the wind. I had remembered that missed a 8 inch plate at 200 yards last year when I was shooting a friend's CZ, winds was blowing left to...

    Quick range trip 850 yards

    If wind isn't too bad, i'll just hold on the edge of the plate, if not then I guess I need to dial for windage especially at 150 to 200 yards.

    Quick range trip 850 yards

    A thought just came into mind to avoid dialing for the .22 Vudoo out to 200 yards at future matches on steel, since I sighted in at 50, 6 MOA line at 100, 14 MOA line at 150 and then dial for 22.5 MOA for 200, just sight in at 100, and underhold for 50 yards using the hash marks above the center...

    Quick range trip 850 yards

    6.5 Creedmoor GAP, 140 Hybrids, 42 grains H4350 and .090" off the lands, 3 shots @ 850 yards, wind was just a crawl. Grinned from ear to ear when I saw the 3rd splash and then came the ding. Still using Nosler brass and 13 firings on it. Out of the 50 piece lot, 2 primer pockets have been a...

    Fixing high ES

    Did you run 3 round groups in .3 increments? Along the way, you should find a low ES and a node, I would start midway and work my way up. It's the way I always have done it. If I don't see any promises , I would play with seating depths in .010" increments, I would start with touching and...

    Alliant Powder Availability

    One of the reasons I shoot less nowadays, until this s*** is back to normal like prices and availability that we used to have which I doubt will happen.

    .22 Vudoo just came in

    Had the itch to go this evening, winds was not too forgiving, was hoping for single digit winds. Cycled 150 rounds through her with SK Standard Plus which was the cheapest SK ammo. Two targets, one was at 50 and other at 100. First two pics is at 50 yards, and last two is at 100. Was dialing up...

    7mm stw re barrel?

    I had 3 barrels on the 7 STW, based on the Remington 700 Sendero action, barrel life is limited. I had converted the 7 STW to the 300 Win Mag when my 3rd barrel burned out. The brass available for the 7 STW was Remington and Winchester at that time, but there are more widely better and...

    .22 Vudoo just came in

    Been away from posting for a while, had an alert that my custom .22 Vudoo just arrived at my FFL today. Went to pick it up, its a beauty. Upon arriving at home, I put on the ATACR on the .22, it had a few millimeters to spare of clearing the 22 inch Bartlein MTU barrel. The cycle of the Vudoo...

    270 Win SGK 130gn H4831 ladder test.

    The H4831 SC is a slow powder, I had the same issue with my 6.5 x 284 pushing the 143 -147 ELD's pretty slow. I ran 3 round charges up to book max and was still about 100 fps below book speed, so I went about 3-4 grains over to get to 2890 fps and it the accuracy node was at that spot. It's...
