Long range scope Hi guys, I'm into long range varmint hunting and here is what I've come up with. There is a place called Kenton Industries. They make target turrets made up in yardage instead of MOA. It's $79 for one made up for your load, velocity, and bullet. Jesse had one made...

The scope will be an IOR straight 16X scope. From what I have been able to find out this scope is the best tracking scope you can buy for under $900. If you come across a better one let me know!! Tom. Hi Tom, Do you want me to let you in on a little secret...

Long range varmint rig Hi, If you are starting from scratch, I'd look into the Savage rifles. Their upper end models are extreamly accurate out of the box. They are coming out with it chambered in 6.5-284. E Arthur Brown, E. Arthur Brown Company - Maker and supplier of hunting and...

Hi, I have a 6mm Ackley and all I've used for sizing is the Lee Collet Die. The Lee Collet Die for the 6mm Remington will also size the 6mm Ackley case. Also, check out Mike J's 6mm Ackley Improved web site. There is a lot of good load info on this site. Tell him The Big Dog sent you. I...

Hi Jwood, Below is a couple of web sites that might have the answer to the questions you are asking. One site is for the 224 TTH, Texas Throphy Hunter, cartridge. The other one is for the 22/6mm with the lighter bullets. Look in the reloading pages for the 22/6mm. Hope this helps some...

Hi, I've been using the Burris Signature with the inserts and I shoot out to 1000yds. What I like about the Signature rings is that with the plactic inserts, it doesn't leave any ring marks on the scope. I've been using these rings with my 338 Lapua Mag with no problems of holding zero. You...

I've heard of people using 300gr Matchkings for long range hunting and was wondering how well they worked. I'm working up loads for a 338/378 Weatherby for hunting and was courious about the Matchkings? Catch you later, The Big Dog

Hi Matt, I also have a Remington Sendro in 300 Win Mag. The Action has been trued, Kreiger barrel, muzzle brake, and the trigger lighten. I've shot a .189" five shot group at 100yds and a .685" three shot group at 400yds with it. The load I use is 68gr AA-4350, Federal GM brass weighed to...
