Picked mine up from Cabela's about a month ago...best accessory I've bought in a long time. Have the Magneto speed sporter...big improvement! Literally takes 15 seconds to set up and you're shooting. Only time mine has failed is when I was shooting my 44mag rifle and I went above the lower range...

Free bump...that is soooo tempting! I've got the mag version but without sights. Love that rifle.

I agree with Benman73 that this post is ridiculous. IF it's a scope with a scaled reticle. Unfortunately too many people are going Mil's by buying a Mil-dot type scope and trying to figure it out. OP never said what kind of scope he's got. To the OP (and others!), in this day and age, spend the...

Do what I did. I retired...now everyday is a Saturday! A perfectly wonderful day for going shooting with my mil/mil scope with a scale reticle that I never have to do any math formulas with!!

A Mil reticle/Moa turrets is called a piece of junk. The smart thing to do is spend the money and buy a mil/mil or moa/moa with the scale reticle. No figuring needed. You can always find your approx holdover, shoot, use the reticle scale to find the difference in your POA and your POI, dial the...

That's great advice, but, that's the problem the OP is going to have with this scope. Look at the scope link he provided. It's a metric based scope. The turrets are graduated in cm's! Everything he does is going to have to be converted from yards/inches to meters/cm's. Or, vice versa. You can...

I've used Hornady's ballistic chart a lot, just google it. Plug in your velocity that you get, your other variables it asks for, and it will spit out your clicks in either MOA or Mils. You'll have to convert to meters/cm's to get figures for your scope. Maybe one of the other ballistic apps will...

The Milrad may "live in a metric world" but it's angle measurement. Yes, it may be based on 1/10 ths but that doesn't specifically make it metric. I don't know of a Milrad scope out there that has any turret adjustments listed in cm's. There might be but I've never seen/heard of one. Each click...

Yes! Centimeters and millimeters are metric. Milliradians is not. You're confusing them. Most U.S. scopes are either MOA/inch or Mil(milliradian, milrad). Look at your scope description. States it's "european influenced design" which obviously used the metric system as it's basis. Each click is...

Everybody's throwing out all the mil/inch conversion formulas/tables but look at the scope. It's not a Mil scope, it's not an MOA/inch scope. It's a metric scope. The clicks are cm. Unless you use metrics on a daily basis, I bet most U.S. shooters here would have a tough time using this scope...

Quite honestly I don't believe I have re-chronographed the Lapua rounds. I should have done that too. But I used the same load as the Hornady knowing I wouldn't have any problems. Of course I did use Hornady 4DOF ballistics, printed out the results, then I've gone through and adjusted all my...

I ordered a dozen rings right away, after I tried to insert a Lee collet die. Then after I realized it really didn't take much more force to push it in over the o-ring, I wondered if I even needed it on the Lees. The Lee, Hornady, and Forster lock rings are all the same thickness, with the RCBS...

I've made a reloading bench by ripping 2x10's and gluing up the strips in butcher block configuration 2" thick. I then routed out a 10"x10" square 1" deep. I butcher block laminated 1" thick plates to fit, mounted my presses and my Hornady case prep center to them. 4 bolts go through the plates...

As far as Hornady goes...I bought 3 boxes of loaded ammo to start with when I got my 338LM. I reloaded those cases upwards of 15x times. No problems whatsoever. I just retired the brass and went with some Lapua I snagged on sale. Why? I really don't have any reason! And, I might add I haven't...
