    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 FFP vs Athlon Ares BTR Gen2 4.5-27x50 FFP

    where are you finding it for $1k? Best deal i can find right now is a little under $1200, but when I say half, i do mean half of that.

    Building an interesting little 338 RCM

    Not wanting to hijack my own thread here, but while we are talking fast twist 338s, Martinakl, I told you I was on that 8.6 Blk train too, and it is awesome. Not at all long range but this gun is too handy and fun not to use a lot! And the fast twist does insane things to animals.

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 FFP vs Athlon Ares BTR Gen2 4.5-27x50 FFP

    I'm currently batting these two options back and forth for a scope to top my latest project (pictured below, 338 RCM). Both more or less have the same feature set I am looking for in a scope for this gun, and I am trying to weigh pros and cons of each based on where they are different. Problem...

    Building an interesting little 338 RCM

    It has been more than a few months, but the barrel and feed work is done and my little beast is back together. Looks pretty mean I think. Now just to decide on a scope. I'm currently back and forth between the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 FFP, and the Athlon Ares BTR Gen2 4.5-27x50 FFP...

    338 RCM headspace gauges

    My gunsmith who is doing the rebarrel work for my 16.5" 338 RCM I posted about earlier is having a really hard time finding headspace gauges to rent for this job. Would anyone who has 338 RCM go and no go gauges be kind enough to let me borrow them for this one job. Or does anyone know where I...

    How close are RL17 and H4350?

    How has your experience been with the HH? I’ve had good luck with CEB and HH so far, but even if I was shooting Barnes I’d want a cheap match target load as well.

    How close are RL17 and H4350?

    I plan on shooting 250 grain bullets. I think 225 would be more ideal, but I plan on using the CEB lasers in this, and I'm not going to do a ton of practice with those since they're so pricey, and there are no 225 grain match bullets available. So, I figured I'd take the higher BC and lower...

    How close are RL17 and H4350?

    What’s it say for 250 grainers?

    How close are RL17 and H4350?

    So what about charge weights? Are they roughly equal in any given cartridge?

    How close are RL17 and H4350?

    In what ways? I’ve never used either. Are starting charges similar? How interchangeable are they, if at all? Do they produce similar velocities?

    Building an interesting little 338 RCM

    Loaded a few dummy rounds to check feeding once my rifle is done. Those are 250 grain PPU OTM with the base seated right at the shoulder/body junction. End up being pretty long but fits in the Mauser magazine perfectly.
