Thanks for that...well that rules out the wind , but what about the scope mounts ...? I had a similar problem with my Sako 75 ..the `Optilock` mounts were causing the wandering zero.... the cause was a loose front ring securing screw under the front mount...the one that goes up from underneath...

Give us some more info on your rifle/scope set up and what were the field conditions on the day ?

There was me thinking shooting rabbits with a .308 was a lot of fun.. Chuck shooting with a Chey-Tac sounds insane.....wish you loads of fun.. Martin

Hi, .. Dave's rifle has a `Robertsons` stock but it has been re finished by a company in the UK called Hydrographics`....he has several done in that `carbon fibre` effect ..I like it too ! We don't have hunting leases as such, but its not unheard of for people to have to pay or rent the `...

I had an invite from Dave AKA ` onehole` yesterday to meet him at his place for a go on the long rang rabbits he has on a very nice patch of land... Well it was 1400 hrs and time to set off for the hour drive up to his place in my truck.. Got to his just before 1500 hrs and started on our way...

I think there must be some faster ` lots` of Varget around...see what `groper` is getting from his load...!

impressive data groper.... What length is your barrel please ? Im getting 2870 fps from a 26 " tube /46gns Varget CCI BR2

Some good interesting info guys...cheers.

Thanks for the replies fellas, I willreport back when I have loaded another batch. ;)

Just an update... I had the chance to crono some loads today..>> 46 grns Varget/155 Amax was producing an Av velocity of 2870fps from virgin Lapua brass/BR2 primers/26" tube. The same load with 155 Scenars was 2896fps.......155.5 Berger VLD was 2838fps Of all the loads i shot today...

Admin..Please move if this is posted in the wrong section... .............................................................................................. My self , And a couple good friends ( Dave and his son James ) went out for a bit of long range fun this afternoon with a couple of...

I use this turret set up on two different rifles. My 6mmBR Norma, custom Krieger tubed Rem 700 I shoot 75 Amax,105 Amax, 95 Berger vld, 105 vld, ....all are within 1 MOA elevation at 100 yards. My Sako TRG22, I shoot 155 Amax ,168 Amax, 155 Scenars , 44 grns Varget/ 46 grns Varget. All within...

Trueblue, just to clarify. It was not my intention to have a 20 MOA reference point, it just so happened that to get a red and green marker on the column it was necessary to rotate the turret two full turns. At one full turn (10MOA) the hole is half way between red and green. I used red as...

The only tricky part was drilling the hole in the turret, I used a jewelers vise to hold it and wrapped it in card to protect it. Due to the tiny hole, I used the `Dremel` hand tool at fairly high speed. I found it a lot easier to hold it steady compared to a normal electric size power drill...

Loosing your elevation Zero( being a whole turn out ) is something that does not happen very often if one is careful, but could have serious consequences if unnoticed ... I thought long and hard about marking the turret some how to help remember which line the turret needs to be set on for...
