Even this is not totally safe. People re-use passwords and doing this on forums is unfortunately common. Then you think you are dealing with a reputable person but the account has been hacked. Always do your due diligence. Anyone selling should be happy to take a phone call and go through a...

I'll tag in here as I have gone through dozens of boots trying to find the magic ones. For sitting extended periods.-Bunny Boots. Keep my feet warm even if they are wet. They are heavy though so not reasonable for all situations. For water proof knee boots-Cabela's zoned comfort Trac 2000...

I couldn't get them to shoot in my 6.5PRC. Bugholes with 143 eldx loaded to max mag length (.050 off lands)., ADG brass Iirc ABLR have the same cbto as the eldx so .050 was the closest I could get them. Tried them out to .150 off in .020 increments. 57.0-59.0 H1000. ( Again running from memory...

Happy with my Giraud. Great for high volume work and consistency. Does a perfect trim and chamfer and it's quick. Holding up well after 10kish rounds so also passing the durability test.

Different rifle/caliber, but my 6.5 PRC shoots the 143eldxs .050 off lands consistent .3s. Factory loads are almost as good. When I couldn't find those and tried some ABLRs, I couldn't shoot under a 2" Group no matter what load or seating depth I used. I almost laughed when I was done with my...

I had a fraction of a piece of corn media once make it into my sizing die. That wouldn't typically have a random impact but if you're talking about just nudging the shoulders, some can make it through with little to no shoulder contact. I agree with the others that lube is the likely cause, just...

Your plan to take it out to 800+ yards is a solid one. Make sure to zero it again in those conditions first to get the most accurate data. If you are prone especially, be aware of mirage. You'll find the BC adjustments will be most telling past 600. Don't discount mirage and wind as well...

I agree with the feedback here on a few points. Get the headspace comparator. That will help you see what's changing. Keep doing your homework with the vids and manuals. There is nothing wrong with practicing and sacrificing a few pieces of brass. Just be sure to set those aside as they will...

I use a charge master and a gempro to checkweight. Had my buddy weigh a couple of pieces of brass on his fx for me that I use to confirm the gempro and it has been within .02 consistently. I cut a straw and stuffed it the chargemaster trickler. It has greatly reduced the over charges. I'm...

I am pretty happy with my leupold VX5 HD. Lightweight. I've walked it out to 1200 and back. Dials true. Clear glass. Checked all my boxes.solid low light performance, never find myself wanting more than the 44mm objective. I am a bit of a glass junkie..is it the best glass out there..for sure...

Also perfected my ultra sonic cleaning regimen using lemishine and a little dishsoap A little Lemishine goes a long long way. I keep the batches to under 75. Run them for 45 mins to an hour. Put them in a separate dish inside the sonic so I can just dump the water and rinse them. As someone...

I have the VX5HD, my buddy has the 6. Optically I could not see a difference. If the price Delta between the 2 had been @$200 I would have gone with the 6 for the "nice to haves" leveling reticle and caps. I prefer the firedot so the reticles were equal to me. Other than that, there wasn't...

Sorry if it's been said already. Too many replies to sift through. For long range shooting, cant is extremely important. My chassis has a built in bubble level. My hunting rifles I level the gun with 2, sometime small 3 bubble levels off the action and/or rail and split the difference (it's...

The only thing that changed from your custom dial is to glance at a range card and dial that number instead of your yardage. Everything else is the same. How to get that number is where the varying opinions are. Kestrel or app, whatever flavor you like. Do it ahead of time. Close enough is...

I use a MPA .22. Same chassis, scope reticle and trigger set weight as my competition rifle. For hunting rifles,, same concept. .22 in a similar configuration as my hunting rifle. It is much cheaper shooting .22 rounds! Fundamentals are the same so that works for me. I just practice on smaller...
