So the Vortex is a non illuminated version, which is the 2.5x10. The Leupold is 3x9 which has the firedot. I checked the Weaver out, looks like a solid scope for sure. I like a bit more with a reticle than a duplex if I expect shots over 200 yards. All of my woods guns use 2x7 Leupold VX2 with...

I'm looking at putting a hunting scope on my 30-06. Will be medium range, looking at keeping the weight down. I've pretty much narrowed it down between a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 with BDC reticle and a Leupold VX-R 3-9x40 with ballistic firedot reticle. Both are relatively the same price...

I have tested other bullets that veer off a straight path often, so that was nice to see it penetrate deep and straight. It shot well enough that for a dollar a round I did order another 6 boxes from Beretta. I'm going to shoot it again into jugs but with some form of barrier in front of the...

Ordered some Sako Super Hammerhead in 30-06 to test out and see if it would work for elk and moose. I've only shot half a box so far and am still evaluating everything, but it seems to be decent ammo. I mainly reload, but in the last year or so I've learned that some times it's not bad to have...

I just spent an hour tonight with the FA unit taking the crimp out of some Wolf brass and squaring the pockets. I can only do so many of those small cases before my hands can't take it anymore. I have a dillon swedge unit but I like to feel the case for my bolt action rifles. Couldn't imagine...

Going to pick up my new 30-06 tomorrow. Told the wife I'd found my dream rifle and will stop buying them for a long time if she would agree to it. Gave me the go ahead, she's too good to me. Going to pick up my Christensen Arms Classic in the morning. I ordered some Sako Hammerhead ammo from...

Very nice. I did initial velocity readings with H1000 and the 160gr Federal Trophy Bonded tip, five shots in half grain increments. 67.0 - 2963 67.5 - 3035 68.0 - 2993 68.5 - 3021 69.0 - 3087 No pressure signs so I may flirt around 69gr to see how it groups, this was just a quick prelim...

Looks like Shooters Pro has 140gr with cannelure in stock right now. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Isn't that what the Swift A-frame is? :) I've been trying to get the Sierra Gamechanger to work in my new 243 but it just doesn't want to group well. A bit over 3" wide, less than an inch vertical at 300 yards. New stock should be coming so I can bed it tight and see what happens. If that...

I can't believe I'm saying this but I didn't order a single one. I'm going to give the 75gr Gold Dot a proper go at half the cost before I jump to the 70gr Accubond in my 22-250. I want to see what one will do in the jugs at 3200 fps before I switch over. I've had perfect expansion in both 6.8...

Shooter's Pro has seconds on sale. 28 left, free shipping over 99$ ends tonight. Just a heads up. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I shoot an M88 in 308. I understand I'm not dealing with semi auto port pressure, but have had extremely accurate results with 165gr Hotcor bullets and MR2000 powder. I tried boat tail bullets and did not have any luck. Unfortunately last season my sling popped off while shouldering the rifle...

I found a great node with mine and 75gr ELD-Ms at 3370fps using RL23. I don't shoot it hard or hot, but a slow three shot group gave me 0.58" at 300 yards during load development. I'll wring it out this summer to see what it can really do. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I just don't understand these quickloads. Lowest load density is showing 108%, most of them are at 120%. I don't know how practical they are. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Yes. I am narrowing it down to AA2200 and H322 for light weight and H335 and CFE223 with midweights. I'm getting ready for some trials with 87gr and maybe some 105s, going to try H380 class for the heavies. I've tried AR Comp without much success, not much velocity there for how much you can...

Nah, I'm running a 700. Had to modify to allow out to 2.5, but the 80gr are awfully blunt nosed so they won't allow you to seat out far but will get to the lands. Basically threw that out there in case some one stumbles along down the road that is loading for an AR. Sent from my SM-G960U...

Just as an FYI, Bud's Gunshop has 80gr Remington plated HP bullets for $7.50 a hundred. I bought some a month or two ago, they show up in Remington bags and are a bit tarnished, but an hour or so in corn cob cured that. They load well at mag length and shoot under an inch at 100. I just ordered...

I use 2200 with 55gr and get velocities more in line with 3500fps. I've tried more combinations with the 6x45, necked up 223 starline brass, then I've ever tried with any round. Going down the H380 rabbit hole this summer for fun. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I feel that it might be a bit much. I think I want to keep the bullet weight at 130gr or less, if I wanted more horsepower I'd build up a WSM or the like. That being said, the photo doesn't make it look it but that puts the beginning of the bearing surface right at the neck and shoulder...
