    How to true the BC

    Not sure if I`m any help, but I always use the G7 BC and make minor velocity changes. I shoot Bergers and their BCs seem to be pretty close. Seems to work for me. My .02

    Our Youth 2022 - No Idea on the History of the United States.

    Sad indeed... Also very sad that the kids today are being robbed of our country`s history. Good or Bad our history is what made our country what it is. Taking down statues, forbidding flags, and other historical markers because it may offend someone is erasing our history. Some of which should...

    Long, short, or medium action?

    I didn`t use a DBM on that rifle just a blind ADL setup. I had McMillan build the stock that way. I wouldn`t think you should have mag issues as long as the case diameter is the same as the cartridge the mag was made for. I would think you should be able to load the shortys in the longer mag...

    Long, short, or medium action?

    I prefer using a long action for the shorter cartridges just for the added magazine length for seating the bullets long. The first one I ever did this on was a 22-6mm IMP with 80 gr Bergers. I used a Rem 700 LA for a donor. Works just fine. My .02

    Beating a dead horse

    I have had great luck with Burris XTR IIIs, and I have 1 XTR II that has been just as solid. Glass in The XTR II is good, but not on par with the XTR III. Tracking has been spot on for both. have also have a couple of Sig Tango 4s that have been solid. Most all my scopes are FFP. My .02

    Berger 195 EOL Terminal Performance Video

    Sounds like shot placement was spot on. Animal reaction, and autopsy sound like it penciled through. I saw the same results on my buddies bull last year with the 195/28 Nosler. Three well place shots to the sweet spot at 770. The bull didn`t even act like he was hit. Went about 100 yds on an...

    Trying to level scope

    Just guessing here. But I would think you might induce a little cant to your ring level if it was not tightened down evenly. I use the MKM billet rail mounted levels myself, so like I said just guessing. Who`s rings are you using?
