Have you ever shot an mp5?

Hello, I have two favorites in 6mm 105 A-max for deverstating expantion with good accuracy and BC. Berger 115 VLD varying expantion, on small vermin targets very lightly to only drill a 6mm hole! but awsome 1000yard performance with its superb accuracy and BC. My 115's travel at 2961fps...

Redbone, I have a very similar tripod sherpa pro cf 630. I think it was £90-00. With a Gitzo G1275M head on it. The centre column is in sections and can be used either way up, very flexible. I stripped down the centre column to reduce weight/space for the flight to the comp and used it...

BB I didn't no of the JBM calculator thanks for that. It does match up very closely to my actual results so that's good. Whats up with the infinity software I wonder? Yes I was suprised to go better on bc than predicted.I thought the clicks could be an issue but carried out some tests at 100...

Hello all, I did some testing with a .243win load 6mm 115gr bergers @ 2961fps. I am not all that happy comparing actual range data with the drop table produced from sierra infinity. The results were :- 150MTR zero Mtrs MOA actual MOA predicted 269 , 2.75 , 2.9 342...

My border barrel 24".243win 1in10 would not stabilise 105's @ 2980fps. Just changed to 1in8 26" 87gr @ 3150 are OK. 105 and 107's OK up to 3030fps so far 115 bergers are just stable @ 2961fps The bergers are on the...

Oh how I wish we were trusted enough to be allowed 17hmr in semi auto over here in the UK but alas not so!

Just got round to purchasing some emery.......... The result is no more scratches and some brass like deposit on the cloth! Thanks all

Just been out testing and the 115's are not consistent yet. They are only doing 2897fps average. My load is showing pressure (slightly cratered primer). It is 44grs of vectan tubal 8000, due to col slightly compressed load. I have some RL22 so might try that next. Should that give slightly...

Case dismissed! I am a lot happier now as I have got 1000 of them!! My initial testing showed promise but i had an unexplained flyer on two occasions. That added to the review I read started me doubting them. Very nice groups! Thanks for the info.

Hello, No bench rest for me! My average groups normally 0.5 moa + or minus a bit. I would be quite happy to be there abouts with them. Have you had any probs with them? I am shooting them in 26" tube 1-8 twist with .243win . Final load not chronied yet but should be around 3000fps?

I read some really bad reviews on these just after I took delivery of a load! The reviewer said they have a design problem that makes them inaccurate. They said the D-tac 115gr has no such problems by the way. Has anyone used them? Thanks Gerald

Thanks for your replies every one! I really suspect the build up of brass or carbon on this occasion then. Will try some emery cloth. Kirby, I did exactly as you said hydraulically dented my necks with too much lube then read not to lube the neck and stuck with that method . As you say a...

No haven't tried anything like that yet. I Ran a bronze brush through it. How about carbon could it have such an effect? It is a series of scratches about six covering probably a third of the diameter of the neck. Do people clean out their dies in any way as a rule? Jeza

Hello all, A friend pointed out that my .243win hand loads had a series of scratches down the neck. It is a full length die and I cannot see any marks inside it. I tried various different makes of case in it and it happens to them all. It was ok a while back,I have tried to clean it. I have...
