There great if you dial a lot. If you do, sooner or later you'll get lost on the dial. When you do all you need to do is dial back to the stop and find your zero. The zero lock CDS dials that are new on the VX6 do that and require pushing an unlock button to rotate the dial and when you dial...

I always liked the 41mag. It seems to outperform expectations. Scott

I agree with Scotty on this one. Speed = Pressure. A long thoat can give you some leeway but the improved cartridges are slower at showing pressure than the standard cartridges. QL is not an absolute solution. It must be tweaked to your actual data(adjusting burn rates to equate your powder...

Just got my VX6 3-18 with the zero lock CDS. I put it on my 28Nosler - perfect! The only thing I don't like about turrets/dials is that they don't lock. I've had bad experiences with dials moving while being carried or removed from cases. The new zero lock takes care of that. My current ZL only...

Nathan, Your brakes are awesome! On my Creedmoor I never lose sight picture and my 28Nosler would not be fun to shoot without your brake. I need to order one of your new ones for my 6.5WSM that's being built right now. I whole heartily recommend using a lighter caliber to work on technique. My...

I verified my recent 129ABLR load and it consistently printed at about .5moa. I chrono'd the load at 2950fps. I used a tested b.c. of .553 and set up my shoot card. I'm shooting this rifle with a VX3 4.5x14 and TSX1-32moa reticle. The winds were variable 3-8mph about 1/4 value and not to...

The ABLRs can be picky. The first thing I do is measure every bullet base to Ogive. In some of the early boxes I found variances up to .012". That's enough to cause issues with a picky bullet. The second thing do is make sure I'm using a VLD seater; it'll give you better consistency. The third...

Many guns shoot very well with a significant jump to the lands. Most guns have several different accuracy nodes that will work for you. Start with mag length loads and find the most accurate powder and charge weight. Then work backwards in OAL to find the best node. Sometimes it's easy and...

I've shot the 129 and 142 ABLR in my 6.5 Creedmore with mixed results. The 142 grouped well but it maxed out near 2800fps. The 129 got up to the 3100fps range but would only group at a little over an inch. This gun is capable of much better when I'm on my game. I had this rifle throated for...

I finally got my new VX6 3-18 mounted on my 28Nosler. It has the new Zero Lock CDS and is perfect for long range shooting/hunting. I started at the 100yd range to sight in and six shots later I was zeroed in at 1.7" high for a 250yd zero. The 28 gave me 2 .5MOA groups at 100yds. I took a friend...

The only cartridge that I intentionally figured powder usage on was the 17Hornet. 700 rounds per pound really helps with the volume I shoot at sagerats! 17cal bullets are very reasonable as well. Scott

Nice Jake. You'll have it dialed in no time. Scott

I finished a new portable bench last week. It's made from 3 layers of 3/4" plywood. The legs are 11/4" pipe. The brackets I made from 1/4" x 5" bar stock and end caps for 11/4" pipe. I cut the end caps off at 15 degrees and welded them to the plates. I bolted the plates through two of the plys...

Heck, That's a 375H&H!

Scotty, My experience with RL26 is that it runs fast but isn't always the most accurate. It runs hotter than my Q/L predictions. It did do well in my Creedmore and my 6-284. Not so well in the 280AI. You gotta love the swede though. It just gets the job done with style and the new powders are...

Scotty, The WSMs are always fun. I've played with them all. The 7 and 300 went down the road for various reasons. The 325 is my darling; I've taken 13 animals with it in 6 years. It shoots the 220 Sierras into a 1/2". The 270 has been fun but I couldn't get it to shoot the ABLRs either. It went...

SPS has the 110gr .308 bullets at blem pricing. Scott

Their "House brand" 7LRM.........close enough Bill. Most of them shooting 168 and 180gr Bergers. Scott

I like those new ones Nathan! Scott

Lovely rifle! I'm sure that action is smooth as glass.
