CA Ridgeline in 6.5x284, great shooting rifle, zero complaints! My 8 yo. Grandson shot this three shot group off of bags at 100yds. He was pumped.

Montana Elk 5x5 at 1040yds, 28 Nosler/195 gr Berger. Laying prone with no wind, ideal conditions cross canyon.

Looking for a neoprene cover for my spotter, slanted not straight eyepiece, something with easy on off lense covers. Apparently vortex don’t make one anymore?

Trying to get a good starting load , none of my books have 280ai. I was going to start off in the middle of 280 load info but thought I would run it by you guys who are using the 168 VLD. I have Peterson brass, federal 210 and 215 primers and the only powder I can get my hands on is Retumbo and...

I love the press but my Redding and Hornady seating dies with micrometers are to tall , what are you guys doing to get them to work? Don’t want to buy all new dies.

Getting setup with Redding type S 280ai, Peterson brass and Berger 168vld. I loaded a couple shells and measured neck OD and consistently getting .3120, measured a couple new never fired pieces of brass and got .3075. Which bushing would you recommend? Also any load help would be appreciated...

Th They are not stocked in store but you can order from them . Start now and order from Midway try on in house and send back if you want something else. I prefer Crispi but have just bought Zamberlain , too early to tell on them but crispi are excellent!

Ok if it goes up for sale let me know, Pittsburgh area

How much to buy the Retumbo

I am comfortable with 600. Maybe after this summer season of shooting I could extend the range but time and conditions will determine.

Yes I may have to do that, I have started getting in shape or trying to. Treadmill and a bunch of hiking, shed hunting, will move into pack and weight in pack in a month or so.

Shooting a 24” barrel

I have not found anything yet, seen some 168vld on gunbroker, almost twice the price. Haven’t bought anything yet.

My barrel is a 1:9 and talking with Berger they said the 180vld will be fine if I go that route but also recommend the 175 hunter? The basket accubond may be a good option as well. What is your current load that is performing best for you?
