+1 Id like to know also???

Thanks for all the advice. I am gunna send the scope in for inspection. I have a buddy thats interested in a trade. The mark 4 for a VXIII. Any thoughts on these scopes??? I know ninightforce is better but this is convinant. Or would u all recommend just selling it and saving for the nightforce?

I have not had a chance to re zero and do a tracking test. I dont think that I spun the turret because it was making clicks according to the turret markings. That was my thought as how much it changed my zero leads me to think that something internally broke.

Yah I mean leupold IV. And I didnt crank hard on the end at all. Just started to feel resistance so I stopped. No excess force was applied. FearNoWind what was the turn around time on a shipped scope?

I have a mark 4 and maxed my elevation today. In doing so it completely threw my zero off by about 7 1/2 moa. Has anybody had this happen? Should I send the scope in to get fixed? If I dont send it in can the scope be trusted? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thaanks to all for the replies. All the testing was done at or around 20 degrees. The rifle is fully floated and bedded. The powder is from the same lot. The barrel only has roughly 300 rounds through it.

Im in the process of building a load for my 338 lapua, and i have hit a snag. I found what I thought was a load of 84 gr h1000 shooting 300gr berger otm. The problem is the load will shoot a .5 inch 3 round group at 200, then after letting the barrel cool and test the load again it will shoot a...

Thanks to all for the helpful information! VarmintH8R that is exactly what I'm talking about! I think with all the information that I have heard I think I will move my initial load testing out to 200, simply because I have the range capabilities and it can't hurt. Another question about a...

Thanks to both of u for the replies. The factor of the wind was what had me wanting to shoot at 100. It definitely makes sense that the farther u get the more groups are defined. Engineer101 what do u mean that you don't consider bullet stabilization a factor? I have just heard word through...

I'm just curious If there is a huge benifit to testing loads at 200 yards vs 100. If so could anybody explain! Do some bullets take that long to stablize or am I completely wrong? Thanks for any info.

My apologies 406, I did realize u did that! Didn't mean to jump to conclusions. Now that I know that I will get my ducks in a row and start finalizing my approach to this build. All I have to do is decide! That's easy right!:D Thanks again

300whisper, I would like to go a compleat custom by 406 or someone similar I just have to take baby steps on this build. I can't swing it all at once!

I definitely agree on the fact that the caliber alone is very capable! I am just wondering if there is a border line between weight and performance when talking ELR. I guess it all boils down to the shooter. But then again I find myself wondering if a guy or gal is stacking odds against them...

That's what I was thinking 406. I am gunna go a different rout and make my 338 a lil heavier to make it a dedicated ELR stick! Thanks again for the help! Any thoughts on the AR-30 platform?

Thanks to both of u broz and 406! That was my Problem I was thinking that a heavier rifle would stand a chance of being more consistant at ELR, but I didn't know if I should try to make it as light as possible to pack with. I was afraid if I did go light with the gun I would be giving up some of...
