Thanks so much, got it. Now as you say, off for a field test.

After using the ballistic calculator I now can figure out how many clicks I need to adjust my turret for different ranges. Now, at full magnification how can I fugure out at what distances my mil dots themselves are zeroed at? There may be times that I don"t have time to adjust my turret and...

This web site had a great and very simple program for figuring out scope click adjustments at different ranges that could be printed out. My scope has 1/8th inch incriments at 100 yards. The site seems to no longer be up. Does anyone have this calculator program that they could share? Thanks

That does seem to make more sense doesn't it. Thanks!

All 3 are 1/8 moa. all are mil dot, all variable power , by the time I need to start upping the clicks I usually have the power all the way up.

I must be missing something. I have a Sightron SII With 4 marks between 0,1,2 etc.on the turret knob. Next is my Bushnell 4200 Elite and it has 8 marks between numbers. I just got a new Savage varment Max1 so I willed my Rem 788 in 22-250 to my wife and picked up a Simmons 44 Mag with 10 marks...

Does anyone know where I can download a program where you give bullet wt, speed etc and it tells you how many clicks for elevation at different distances? Thanks

I agree with Mike, With a bore site grid you can just dial away and see when your reticle stops moving. All my scope reticles stop moving before I run out of clicks.

I'm sorry to have mislead you. I had a second thread about having problem also sizing brass as the expander ball comes back thru the neck it seems really tight. My fault for not explaining properly. Thanks

Thanks everyone for help on both of the warbird threads. I saw another thread that said to polish the expander ball for smoother in and out. My expander ball had a small edge. I could feel it with my finger nail. I polished it off, trimmed my cases, went to 95 gr. for the occasional hang fire...

I have fought with this for years and with all of you experts out there maybe I won't have to any longer. I have RCBS dies. Adjusted as rcbs says. I have several other cal. that I have never had this problem. If I run my brass into the depriming die just far enough for the expander ball to go...

thanks so much guys. I didn't even know it was called a hangfire. I think I will increase my load a little at a time and see if I can get it to go away and then go from there. Thanks

I have a Sako TRG-S from Lazzeroni in Warbird.I got it new about 8 years ago. Have always Handloaded. Using 165 gr. sst Hornady and RL 25 powder. On the Lazzeroni reloading charts it lists starting load as 93 gr. and max load 106 gr. When I first started out at 100 gr. I was noticing primer...
