I’m m in the market for a new ballistic range finder. I am looking at the vortex razor 4000 gb. The sig 8k and the device br4. Does any body know if any of these will give the yardage you should shoot for using your ballistics. And not just the dial up. My scope is set up for yardage dial...

I used the hornady tool with the modified case and put a 155 hammer hunter bullet in it then measured it from BTO

I’ll re measure it. I used the hornady tool to measure and took the measurements BTO

Well I’m thinking that’s it these rifles have tight chambers. Maybe to tight. I need to take the measurements again on chamber and bullets and check.

Width of my neck. Compared to bullet seated and with and without the ball expander no bullet seated

One on right is loaded left is my measured to lands. Also just to see, I seated a bullet slowly until I was at the top of the “last band”. And it measured to ogive 3.75. My ogive measure to lands is 3.727. I also took the expansion ball out of my full length die and measured a sized...

On my 26 nosler I did but loaded Barnes lrx. About .030 they really tightened up. But the claim is that it does not make much difference with the hammers

The grove I am talking about is closest to the tip of the bullet

I think I would be in the lands if I did this. I measuredogive center of first band and that would be another .090 to out of the case. To the best of my ability to measure. With a ogive comparator. I am .033 off the lands so I don’t think I can push it out that far. I very well may...

In the new brass I got bad groups but started at 82gr. I need just looked for pressure with the resized brass to see where it was. So my best group was 85 gr new brass. I will load three of each and look for a group with resized brass. Wich if I get a group then I feel like I need to fire...

It’s at 3305 at 81 gr and 3358 at 82. I didn’t crono the 79 and 80 I just hope they group. 85 was the first good group I got but it was with new brass and I had no issue till I resized.

So is the adg brass not a good brass. It seems soft to me

I ran it again this morning. Started at 79 grains retumbo no problem. Went to 80 grains no problem. Went to 81 slight stick and 82 heavy stick. Why am I hitting pressure quicker than others. Some guys are reporting 85-86 grains.

This is good advise. Every eldX I have loaded in three different rifles. Really tightened up around .030 off the lands. Not exactly that but close. Just my experience

Definitely not in the lands I have measured and set that I believe 30 thousandths off. Have not run them over a crono usually do that after I have found a load
