    VLD seating options

    I don't mind putting the work in if it gets my group size down. It's the only rifle I reload for so it isn't so bad. I've put about 5000 rounds through it and it will still group under 1/4 moa if I do my bit. The barrel seems to be very hard wearing indeed.

    VLD seating options

    It's a blaser lrs2 in 223. Myloads are neck turned , trimmed to length and sorted for weight using lapua match brass. I also turn the flash holes to a uniform length on every firing. I use 25.7 grains of h335 with cci 400 primers. This gives me an mv around the 3100 fps mark. My oal length is...

    VLD seating options

    Yes my Cbto are accurately measured. I use a Forster competition seating die. I have a seating stem for the berger 77gr vld, hornady 75 gr bthps match and now the Sierra 69gr tmk. I only shoot 223 as it is all the gun I need. all ammunition is check with mititoyo calipers and starred micrometers.

    VLD seating options

    All my loads are at least 100 thou off the lands. Using this seater has achieved 5 shot groups in the high 1s at 100 yards and approaching 1/4 moa at 600 yards. Also sd s in the single figures for 20 shots. I've the stem well drilled out beforehand and the contact area about halfway up the...

    VLD seating options

    I would drill the stem out enough to let you contact the give with extra room. I put my stem into a drill and used whatever vld i want to use with some valve grinding paste. I smear the vld with the grinding paste and use the bullet to sand the lips of the stem to match the give. You will use a...

    Swarovski atx95

    Have to agree. I have looked through many scopes. Nothing competes with these for optical quality. Also I can look through it for hours on end with no fatigue whatsoever. My best purchase to date bar none. Picks up on mirage and vapour trail unbelievably.

    Powder Measuring and Dispensing?

    I use a beam scale and a targetmaster trickler. This has a sensor that reads the position of the beam scale and stops it at the zero mark every time. Using h4895 it measures to o.1 grains. With ball powder like h335 it's on the money every time. Look them up. It is the best reloading tool I have...

    Swarovski atx95

    The clarity is unbelievable. On a good clear day you can make out rabbits in a field which has to be 2 miles from my house. I live in Ireland and mirage doesn't be an issue a lot of the time. But in the summer it can get a bit of mirage. I rarely move it from 30 mag in fairness as there's a...

    Swarovski atx95

    Hello , I have a Swarovski atx 95 spotting scope which I am very happy with. The glass in these are unbelievable. I can make out 223 holes in the white out to 700 yards. I was wondering what others thought of theirs.
