Well, I broke down and got the Leica CRF 1200. Got a great deal at 548.98 brand new in box to my door with a 10% off ebay coupon. Couldnt turn that deal down. Cant wait to get it. Could Have gotten the swaro for 774.00 to my door, but I liked the compactness of the Leica, plus the diff in...

POP, How do you think the swaro's would do for ranging inside of 50yds for bowhunting. I have heard the target circle is a little large

I am leaning towards that swaro unless I know the other brands will realistically range deer to 600yds. I had heard mixed opinions on whether the bushnell 1500 and leupold RX IV will actually do that. If they did, then I would be satisfied.

I was looking for some opinions on a rangefinder. I will not be shooting past 500 yards and it will be for ranging whitetail. I know that the swaro and the leica will range well past that, but I really only need a maximum range of 600 for deer size game. are there any recomendations of some...

I know this has been debated many times but I would like opinions again between using Balistic tips vs accubonds in 7mm 140 grain Im set on the 140's in both bullets so I would like to keep it at that. I will be hunting whitetails in the 250lb range and at 100-500 yard shots AB and BT both...

Well, I tried the krylon on an old black synthetic mountain rifle stock. There is definately an art to applying the webbing paint. First time didnt look so good. I had to re-coat over the webbing with the olive base coat(gave the smooth stock a textured look) and reapply the webbing paint...

Hey Guy MIner When you painted your stock with the cheesecloth, how did you use it?. Did you just lay it on the stock or did you hold it up to it and spray through it. I just put a base coat of krylon Fusion matte olive on an old remington black synthetic stock(works pretty good) and I was...

I would like to apply a coating(duracoat or maybe cerakote) to my blued action and possibly my stainless barrel. I have an interarms mark x action that looks good but rust easily. I clean it often and when it gets wet, but I want to make it more weather resistant. I haven't had luck finding any...

Are you lubeing the mouths when sizeing? Does the expander feel like it is dragging? I am very lightly libing the case mouths. The expander ball does seem to drag. I dont have any accurracy problems out of the 7mag or 270. I guess what i am trying to say(ask) is that I would light to have that...

RCBS 7mm rem mag FL dies All of the brass is from the same lot. I can put a fired empty case in the chamber and the bolt closes fine, and there is no tightness whatsoever. I have never been able to get that snug(crush fit feel) in my 7mag. It shoots MOA so there is no problem with accuracy. My...

I have always heard that when PFL resizing you have to bump the shoulder(crush fit) occasionally to prevent any feeding problems. I am shooting a 7mag with nosler brass. i'm on my 7th reload and have never bumped the shoulder. I PFL resize about 55% of the neck. I have no problems opening or...

I know I need a chrono. I am going to get one soon. The nosler book says 63.5 grains of 22 with a 140 grain bullet gets 3160. I figure another .5 grains puts me close to 3200, plus another 70fps for the 26" tube and that gets me around 3270fps. take out 100fps for the chamber and I'll see how...

7mm 150g accubond

I do not have a chrono, YET. I am going to load some 140 accubonds with 64 grains of RL 22 for my 7mag with 26 inch barrel. Any guesses on my velocity. I'm hoping for at least 3100fps

I wanted to stick with ballistic tips but I just might try the 160 AB's. The load will be for Kansas whitetails in the 225lbs range. I'm leaving on the 26th of Nov, so I need to decide soon

Hey spires5d, I Live south of Hoover In Shelby County. I couldn't get the 150's to group like I wanted with the IMR 4831. I have been loading 140's with the IMR 4831 and they have been grouping .5 moa. I tried the RL 22 with the 140's and they still group .5 moa. I really want to stay with...

Does anybody have a good load for RL 22 and a 150grain BT in 7mm rem mag. My nosler #5 guide has RL 22 load data for everything in 7 rem mag except 150 grain. I want a long range load at about 3100-3200 fps. I have been using IMR 4831

I here all the time about some powders being temperature sensitive, particularly RL 22. I use RL 22 and IMR 4831 mostly. What kind of temp extremes does it take to see major inconsistencies or pressure spikes. If I am shooting (sighting in) in 90+ degree summer and fall weather at long...

I can't find federal primers anywhere. Does anyone know why that is, or where I can get them?
