Guy.
So far it is averaging Under 3/4 MOA for 3 shots. Barrel heats up very quickly. Notice my COAL is 3.385" which is considerably longer than the 3.340" "standard".
I did make four more rounds at 3.355" just to see if there is any accuracy difference. When all you have is 12 brass to...
This rifle sports a 24" barrel MB not included. Max load from Hodgdon but seems mild to me. This is what they got:
59.0 / H1000
3,047 FPS
62,100 PSI
All I wanted was 3K with that high BC bullet. Pressure seems well under 65K PSI
I know an older gentleman who has been taking elk out of Battle Mountain in Wyoming, almost every year, since 1998. His load of choice is the 150 Core loct factory in 7mm Rem Mag.
In my elk camp there are a few hunters who are using the 143 ELDX in the 6.5 Creedmoor every year since its...
Finally my MK V Live Wild came in after a long wait. Very pleased with the rifle. Pure Weatherby quality and no surprises.
I mounted a Zeiss 4-16x44 mm on it and played a little. Now, I do have brass on order but WBY is saving it all (for now) until they catch up with factory ammunition and...
Hopefully they will be:
1. Better at getting a decent group out of a rifle, unlike their Scirocco which was a bear to get an accuracy load.
2. Real world BC's
3. Available in many diameters and just plain available.
Time will tell.
I love the levers for sure. Like previously stated a nice 30-30 or 35 Rem will do a great job indeed especially if the flex-tips are employed. Now if by strange chance you run across a 32 Win special on a great deal I would not pass it up either. Last year we were busting steel at 200 yards...
Gotta love the lines of that Ruger. Funny you should mention this Guy. Last weekend I took my Blackhawk Bisley 45 Colt out for plinking. Cast 205 gr with 7.5 gr Alliant Sport pistol at 835 fps. What a blast!
"Their estimated BC is supposed to be 0.558 which I don't quite believe"
Well according to the FX Professional the BC measures closer to .430 average on the Maximus. The GS Custom 330 gr went to .473 average which is about what I thought on that one. Still got about 40 of these.
Again this...
If you're talking about the Vortex Razor 6-36x56mm yes I have. I find nothing bad I can say about it. Everything is as expected and I am very pleased with it. Quality, ruggedness- (I'm sure)- even though I have not beat it up yet, tracking all that stuff is awesome. Just like my ATACR. If...
Congratulations looks great! I agree that Europtic is a class act. I just got my 2-12x40 Nightforce NX6 the other day. Fast shipping and as usual awesome NF scope! I also have an "ATACR" and it is also a great scope. Both track great and very good glass.
What scope are you looking at?
