What I found hilarious was the dragging up of a five year old thread involving an issue that is little more than a light zephyr in an egg cup and has been done to death. . It was two lines with 24 words, not one of which referenced you or anything from your post so NO I didnt call you or your...

You need to read my post again. I had it confirmed by cooper and then tested it my self with the correct gauge. It is a a true ackley. You are missing the logic here. The gauges fit the chambers they were designated for perfectly, they also fit when swapped. Their comment section is still...

Ha ha, depends on how good the maths is I suppose, one decimal point out of place can have amazing consequences. Yes Edd that is my position. Gunsmith talk has an example at the beginning of this thread. Showing both the SAAMI and traditional chambers then swapping the chamber gauges around...

If your attitude was as above then I'm not surprised it turned personal. Yes I have formed a position as every time I tested actual chambers, traditional and SAAMI, with gauges and try and find this magic .014 shorter chamber it vanishes in a cloud of mathematical smoke. I could type...

Hilarious really after all this time. There are more recent threads now claiming the SAAMI spec to actually be LONGER than the original, go figure. I suggest anyone with a genuine interest in this put aside the reamer drawings, the theroy, the "Redding have done this" and the "PT&Gauge...

I had cause to test the customer service with a fault preventing the unit from arming. I was on the edge of the one year but it was repaired under warrenty. Communication was very good and the Australian repair guy was excellent. In conversation he said the main issues they are seeing are...

On our last trip i was happily lining up on a good stag with my March while my mate was franticly trying to defog his leupold. Im not saying March are better with moisture because all scopes will collect condensation in the right conditions.Iv had issues with a Z5 when a cheap vortex was fine...

Couldnt agree more. Comparing competition scopes in answering a question for a hunting situation is like using Formula one to gauge 4x4 vehicles.

Yes thanks for that, defiantly interested so will have a search. With the rock shooting Im not talking about groups. Its practice for hunting after you have a proven load, if you know the size of the rock then you wont be fooled. Youve either hit your target or you haven't. We shoot plenty...

I think "shooting at rocks" is good practice with the qualification that the size of the rock is relevant. We use rocks as in a hunting situation, walk along then pick one that is small enough to represent the kill zone of a deer (8-10 inches) and shoot from what ever position we can best...

From series list tag the + in the top bar.

I followed Greyfoxs advice for my new M 92 cooper and went with Retumbo. After sorting the internal donut issue in the brass i ended up at 56.5gr with a berger 140EH and 2960 from a 24" barrel. This load shot well from the beginning in new brass at 2910 but sped up after usual 100 or so rounds...

I think the funnest thing about the nosler 280ai is how its changed in the eye of some comentators over the years. In this old thread the theory was that the nosler version was .014 Shorter. https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/280-ai-controversy-explained.118623/ Now the claims are...

Just got my second cooper. The first was 2008 . Both are excellent in fit, forrm, finish and accuracy. I have customs but will definitely have another cooperwhen the budget permits

A good budget option is the vortex diamondback HP. 3-12. Side focus, 90 moa elevation and another 10 in the BDC reticle. reasonable glass for the money and dials well.
