    Full Setup- APS LRSS 338 Allen Xpress w/ Schmidt Bender PMII, Spuhr, Brass, Dies

    Your chance town a fine piece of Kirby's Craftsmanship without the wait! I'm posting up a full 338 AX setup with SB scope w/ a Spuhr mount, 248 pieces of Petersen brass, and Dies. Ordered this sucker in August of '18 and took ~2 years to get it. Life's changed and I'm reluctantly putting it up...

    Pressure Signs WAY before max charge ??

    Any other pressure signs or only flattened primers? No ejector marks or anything? Tried pushing it further until you see other, more reliable signs? I don't worry much about what the primers look like if the rest of the case head looks good. I've had them get flattened several grains before...

    Nightforce SHV - Opinions?

    Frank Galli has been testing the tracking of his students' scopes at the classes he teaches across the country. Results are in the link, results are in % (ie, scope dialed 10mils, actual travel was 9.9mils, scope would be 99%, if dialed 10mils and traveled 10.1 mils, it would score 101%). I...

    Minimum scope power

    Once you get up past 16-18x, the mirage is going to blow out the image out past 7-800 yds anyway. I've got a good number of high dollar 20-35x max magnification scopes and the majority live set at 15-16x almost all of the time. The only time when it's nice having super high magnification is...

    SCOPE ZERO FOR OVER 1000 YRDS

    This is another side-track. He asked where everyone zero's guns for 1000+ yd shooting, and the answer is a question about whether he can shoot 1000 yds... Short answer is zero at 100 yds for any gun you plan on dialing. I remember listening to a podcast that had Brian Litz on and he brought up...

    SCOPE ZERO FOR OVER 1000 YRDS

    Yeah I hear it a lot too. Only way to increase useable up-elevation range is by altering how it is mounted to the rifle.

    SCOPE ZERO FOR OVER 1000 YRDS

    100 yard zero. There's no reason to zero these types of rifles beyond that. For really stretching the legs on these rifles, the main reason why you shouldn't zero past 100 yds is due to the environmental variables involved. At 100 yds, the zero is mostly reliant on the scope's ability to...

    What is your Favorite Long Range Scope and Why?

    Man this is the truth. I've molested pretty much every scope on the market and always ended up back with F1 ATACR's because they were good reliable stand-by's and the volume of Demo scopes at Mile High pretty much meant I could get an essentially new one for a heavy discount. The glass always...

    Stuck case in chamber

    Man the big 338's will have you running around trying to find powder scratching and twitching like a crackhead 😂 24 lbs might see a barrel through at 108gr a pop and it's not 108gr of the easy-to-find stuff either.
