Very nice looking call. Never saw a copper slate. Is that what you call it? Assume you stroke it like a slate… I see you have a cross hatch is that 90 degrees or a different angle? Happy hunting

Jim’s advice is solid. I spent some time watching videos of NWTF championships. This 12 yo girl, took a paddle box call, cupped it in one hand and struck it with her palm. Gave a unique yelp. I turned two Toms following a hen away from me at 170 yards… I got one close enough and harvested...

Pictures please!

I had a bunch of mixed head stamps that I sorted into Super-X, R&P, and win. So initial ladder was with Super-x(old cases). Since then, a Starline Order came in and the speeds matched the SuperX. All the mixed headstamps are set aside and will probably get dropped off at the range for others...

Well guys, thank you! I have to say, the RL17 TTSX was one of the easiest load work ups I have done. First loads with SD in the 2-3 fps range… Started with Barnes book for seating depth. Didn’t have the modified case to check lands, but after getting that.. went on to using Barnes recommended...

Had a friend call before rifle season opened in a panic because he couldn’t find 257 Bob, and was asking if I could hand load for him…never did find brass, but eventually scheels had an ammo sale and I caught them with 257 Bob with SST’s… so bought 6 boxes. Told him to not pitch the brass next...

Oldest son with his 5 YR and 1.5 year old.

So since 54.1 and 54.4 had SD’s of 2&3, decided to Trt one more step, Results from 54.7 3150 3135 3143 Ave 3142, SD 7 and ES 15 Will load up seating test at 54.4 RL17.

Just a quick update. Extended the ladder test. 130gn SGK, H4831, Seated 0.020” off the lands. Prior test it was close to 0.140” off the lands 59.0 - 2911 59.3 - 2951 59.6 - 2980 59.9 - 2996 60.2 - 2989 60.5 - 3044 60.8 - 3051 No heavy lift. No pressure signs on primers or head stamps Will...

I do have some RL22. Going to push the H4831 a bit harder and change to starline brass.. ladder test loading up. RL 17 looking very promising at 54.1-54.4. Right at 3100 at very consistent V. Right now RL17, Norma and Barnes TTSX h4831, starline and SGK. If I get that Starline SGK...

3.217 is running about 1.25”. I’m about 0.140 off the lands. So long ways from the minimum recommended 0.050” I’ll run up to the store tonight to see if I can pick up a box or two.

So I measured distance to the lands with the TTSX and got 3.355”. My test loads were 3.217. Barnes recommends min 0.050” jump, So I’d start at 3.305, 3.295 3.285, 3.275, 3.265, 3.255, which would cover 0.050-0.100” off lands, is there merit I going further? Trying to not run out of TTSX just...

I have some… with the 22” barrel… maybe I should try it…

Thanks Jim. The only issue I’ve had is getting the dioptic adjustment right for my eye… it was better this last time out… seems to be a very fine adjustment and I haven’t hit crisp yet… hope too. I do like its size and when I’m hunting I’m typically using 2-4x. Not one to crank the magnification…

If I walk away from that scope, I’d ship it to you….no charge. Will PM you if that happens..

I think it was 69. Was a pricey trip… Joe had Polio.. so getting around is hard… support his business inspite of prices…

Thank you!

That sounds about right… first shots were over a foot high at 25 yards.. turned it about 4 revolutions to get it near target.. so a form of inches at 100. Thank you very much. I’ve never seen one like that before…

I looked at the bullets rated Mv is 1600-3100. So next I looked for 300BO recipes for that bullet… and they don’t have them. Instead they had 2 225 grain bullets - both target bullets… Does that imply the 220 gn RN. #3090 rated Mv 1600-3100 and the only Hornady 308 rated for Dangerous...

Hi. I got this scope, Leupold Vari-X III, 2.5-8x I’ve never seen an adjustment like this. No MOA or MILRADs, just numbers.. When I adjusted it, I felt no clicks.. Can anyone tell me what these markings are referring too?
