    Scope Tracking Question.

    I just mounted a new Vortex Viper HSLR 4-16x44mm. As I'm trying to zero at 100yds, a one click adjustment should be 1/2 moa or roughly 1/2inch. However that one click vertical adjustment moves the point of impact vertical 2 full inches. I repeated the adjustment two different times thinking I...

    7mag powder preference

    I've got a load with retumbo and 160 grain accubonds that's simply awesome. They're coming out of my factory Ruger mk1 at 3020fps with a 24 inch tube. My buddy is shooting it out of his Rem 700lr with great results. His last groups at 820yds were under 4 inches.

    7mm Rem Mag... Powder choice...

    The 7mm Rem Mag is without question my favorite caliber. There are a handful of powders that work well. That being said i have had my best results with Retumbo. Not only did it offer some of the fastest velocities for me but also the least Velocity variations. My specs are similar to yours...

    190gr. Berger hunting VLD Questions

    Thanks for the replies. I was pleasantly surprised how well they grouped. These are quite a bit faster form me than the 210's were. Both lighter and a shorter bearing surface helped out. Do you know what velocities we was getting out of the 30 Hart and 190gr. combo?

    190gr. Berger hunting VLD Questions

    Hi all. Its been a long time since I posted on here. Long story short I finally cycled through my hobbies and landed on LR shooting again. This partly due to the fact that I couldn't find Retumbo for some time. I am shooting a 300 RUM Remington Sendero. Although the tube on this gun is...

    accustock troubles.

    Thanks Doc. This is a good read. Will this work with the accustock where it has a wedge that clamps down on the recoil lug?

    accustock troubles.

    That was my first thought until he mentioned that the load he was having trouble with was redeveloped after the break was added. I figured I would start eliminating the simplest things first.

    accustock troubles.

    I was hoping for some help. I have a buddy with a savage predator 6.5 x 284 with an accustock. His smith took it apart to put on a muzzle break. Since then it just isn't shooting quite the same. I've read where accustocks can be fussy when put back together. I've searched for the post but...

    168gr Gameking HPBT?

    Long story short I received two boxes(200) of Sierra 168 grain Gameking hollow points. It was not my choice, but alas I've got them now. I would like to load these in a 300 win mag. The idea is to load them mildly. I am thinking of 3100 fps or less. I figure this is mild seeing that the 300...
