I a sig range finder as well. I found the the very bottom of the circle was where the laser was actually aimed. That has helped me get more accurate ranges. I took my range finder out and using the auto scan feature I ranged the very top of a power pole to pin point where it was aimed at.

I do a lot of dry fire practice with my rifle (20ish shots a night) and have had no issues. Ryan Cleckner (he does the Going Ballistic Podcast) says not to worry about it. With old rifles you might have a issue but modern rifles I don't worry about it.

Looks fun! Building one of the Traditions rifles is on my list this year.

How long are your batteries lasting in your SIG range finder? Mine seems to be short. I received the rangefinder as a gift for Christmas. Using it during the winter the battery dropped from full to 3/4. I guessed this was due to the cold. Last week I decided to replace the battery before bear...

Hey everyone I'm from Idaho Falls. Looking to see if anyone knows of a long range shooting club in the area?

Yes they are camfered correctly and do not shave any brass off. I cleaned the case necks.again tonight and resized just for kicks. They are in the tumbler now getting cleaned up. I did reload some federal brass that has not been annealed yet and everything looked great with them. I'm thinking...

I'll try brushing the necks tonight and will see what happens. Thanks to everyone for your insights.

The bullet is .308. The neck outside dia. is 0.334 once the bullet is seated it is 0.336 so about 2 thou of neck tension which I would think was good. Unless I am measuring that wrong. The cases where cleaned in a tumbler before annealing but not after. They all look to be chamfered correctly...

Hey guys needing a little help. I've been reloading for a few years now but am now having a bit of trouble. When I seat my bullets I'm getting a ring around them from the seater. It used to just be a faint mark but after annealing my brass it has now become very noticeable. If you run your...

+1 on the life straw. I never leave e the truck with out it. Very light and you forget that it is there until you need it.

If you can get your hands on some try the 215 Berger hybrids. If I was shooting a big old gun like that I would use them.

That was my next thought as well. If the zero wasn't corrected it would cause problems

At higher elevations the bullet will not loose as much speed over distance due to thiner air. I don't know what it will do at the muzzle but at long range there will be a point of impact shift due to more retained velositly. Maybe there is enough change to explain the misses?

Just wondering if anyone new of a good place to hunt whitetail deer around Idaho Falls? I have never hunted them before and i'm just trying to see what opportunities are available. Thanks!

I'm glad to hear that people have had good experiences with Nikon. I do have the original box and receipt so as soon as bear season is over I will send it in! Thanks again everyone
