    Yah the exterior of the lenses fog up when it’s rainy, other than that I love everything else about it… I’ve never had my hands on a Schmidt shorty but I’ve looked through some other full sized Schmidt’s and I can’t say for sure if the glass was that much better than my march but it was premium...

    I’ve built them on both short and long actions, you should have no problem running 140 class bullets in a short action. My current set up is on a short action ARC Nucleus running 144 hybrids and 143 eldx in mdt aics mags. if you were running the real heavy 6.5 bullets you may have to seat them a...

    Lyman gen 6 touch screen powder dispenser experience?

    I have one, and to be honest I like my old gen3 better... I use it in tandem with my gen3.. To get it to dump faster you have to run it with the restrictor plug out and it will over trickle by .2 to 1gr regularly... doesn’t have a manual slow trickle button so you can’t set it to dump lite then...

    25 06 ackly

    Love mine... As far as comparing it to the standard 25-06, more case capacity = more speed, don’t have to worry about trimming near as much. Can push light(75gr) bullets in the 4000fps range, heavies(115gr) around 3300fps. Can shoot factory 25-06 ammo if get caught without reloads on hand...

    140 VLD 140 Classic Hunter or 156 EOL for 6.5 saum

    Haven’t had a failure to expand with they 140hybrids, never had any pinholes with them. 143eldx’s definetly expand well, at close range they’re pretty violent... I’ve had mixed results with vld’s in my 2506ai at long range it was around when they came out with the orange box hunting line...

    140 VLD 140 Classic Hunter or 156 EOL for 6.5 saum

    Haven’t played with vld’s but the 140 hybrid works great on deer out of my 6.5rsaums, have also used 143 eldx with good results, either being pushed by h1000 or rl26. Haven’t played with the 156’s but have been shooting Berger 144 hybrids lately...only at steel so don’t have any idea how...

    March 3-24x52

    Sorry yah should have explained it better, yah it seems prone to condensation on the exterior of the lenses not on the interior of the scope...have had other scopes that I used in similar conditions, a Nikon, Bushnell, and Leupold that I can think of off the top of my head that don’t suffer from...

    March 3-24x52

    It was only once that it happened while hunting, was slightly above freezing and drizzling, eyepiece fogged up on the exterior and my lens cloth was saturated so was useless.... was still usable, killed a deer at 300 yards, just had to power down, but it wasn’t like the old rainguard bushnell...

    Lighter scope for 6.5 SAUM - recommendations, please

    March 3-24x52 should fit all your needs... ffp, mil, 24oz, great glass, Awsome turrets. I’ve had mine (in Moa) for the past couple years and love it. Usually sits above my 6.5rsaum barrel during hunting season, then whatever barrel is the flavor of the month after that... Orch

    Sig Kilo 3000BDX Range finding binos

    As stated if you pair them with an ab kestrel or Garmin fortrex 701 or the new Garmin tactical watch with ab it will give you a firing solution as far as they will range... I’ve got data out to 2160yrds paired with my fortrex... obviously all your other inputs have to be good and you need to...

    Please HELP!! Low pressure???

    Yah I’d try h4350 and see what that does... Couple of other questions that crossed my mind: What are you using for a scale? Doubt that it could be your scale is reading higher than reality but it’s worth checking vrs another scale to verify. What make of barrel did you use for the build...

    Please HELP!! Low pressure???

    Are you set on using the 129gr Ablr’s? I assume when you said you weren’t finding much info it was for the 129’s... there’s lots of info out there on the 6.5rsaum but it’ll mostly be for 140+ class of bullets.. anyways ya if it’s throated long so your bullets got a long jump and you are at...

    6.5 PRC with Berger 144 Hybrid

    Has any one had their hands on Tubb’s bullet nose cutter yet? It seems like that would be the perfect solution for making these closed tipped bullets into hunting bullets...

    25-06 AI brass question

    I use lapua 30-06 necked down in one step to 25 in a standard 2506 full length die with no issues, going down to 6.5 then 25 will work too, but I found I didn’t need to so it was an extra step... I’ve had over 13 loadings on some of my brass pushing a 115gr Berger at 3300 fps so the juice is...
