    Bergara Crest Carbon

    I have the ridge cf in 300wm. It has been shooting .4- .8 groups with 208 eldx and retumbo and not much load development. Main reason I bought it was Bergara was offering a free tax stamp and local scheels had the 300wm marked down to 1100.

    Which annealer?

    The ugly Annealer works great easy to do multiple cartridges from .223 to 50 cal and dial each one in and repeat the process whenever you need to

    Range finder or RF binoculars?

    For bowhunting I tend to carry both, but with the ballistic solutions custom built in nowadays it is hard to beat any of the high quality binocular rf combos.

    7 mag 162 eldx seating distance

    In my 7mm rem 700 I had jam at 3.439 with the 162 eldx. I started .015 off and worked down until decent groups then back and forth in about a .005 span. Didn’t really start getting good groups until about 3.400 it shot .52-.6” but at 3.398 groups are .22-.29, 3.397 was .32-.42.my best groups...

    Thermal scope used. What to look for?

    As far as budget that really doesn’t go hand in hand for the thermal game. More money is definitely better, but if you have a limited budget and plan to shoot under 100-150 yards the agm rattler and burris thermals are decent for under 2500. I used an agm rattler 25 256 (for $1300) this weekend...

    6.5 PRC and 308 Win powders and bullets suggestions

    Lapua brass has been great for me, had a few nosler premium that I had some neck issues with. But if you want to run cheaper powder ramshot magnum and 143 eldx shot good out of my prc, I was able to find a different velocity node with rl26 and have been using that since. But I have also shot...

    Redding Dies an Upgrade?

    When I first get my dies I usually polish lightly with Flitz on a cutip through entire die body, I then clean thoroughly with a contact cleaner and soft rag, haven’t had any issues with cheaper Lee, hornady, or rcbs dies. I also clean my dies after each use.

    6.5 PRC issues

    obviously there is a carbon ring that is causing issues, but have you ever tried any other ammo ? I have seen 2 different Bergara rifles show excessive pressures using factory 143 eld-x ammo even to the point of blowing a primer. Personally I haven’t had any issues with either of my 6.5prc in...

    Smart *** gunshop clerk

    I shoot suppressed on about everything from .223 to 300wm. Unless you are doing mag dumps maybe you might need ears. I don’t ever wear hearing protection anymore when shooting suppressed. Recoil reduction is great right rivals with top quality brakes, but gone is the muzzle brake percussion and...
