Don't let this guy wind you up, it's like Butterbean says don't engage with stupid people, it just makes you more annoyed. There are plenty of other things to watch on U tube if that's what you like.

MKK you will probably find Bullseye,red dot and blue dot are all suitable powders for what you are looking for but as some have already said availability may be the deciding factor.

Lapua is always a good choice and Norma.

With high quality scopes when you focus the scope on an image, the clarity of the image in the centre of the lens is the same clarity the as at the outer edges of the lens.What a lot of manufactures of cheap scopes do is place chevrons and hold over points and bits of crap within the reticle...

I would be more interested in the long range ammunition than the long range scope, with regard to the ES.

Your thread is a little brief with regard to why you want HBN coating.If you are target shooting for example and shooting 100 plus rounds at the range then it is maybe worthwhile but if you are hunting and using half a dozen rounds then it's not really worth it,I say that because the process...

What a great thread,I totally agree.I target shoot at 1000yds and 1200yds and its easy to understand, if you can't consistently group shots in the V bull at these distances you should not be shooting at animals.Unfortunately a lot of shooters have little or no understanding of long range...

I think in general all bullet and powder manufactures have reduced there charge weights due to health and safety issues and possible litigation.

All the gunsmiths I've dealt with in the UK use the same system as the US,Imperial system.

I'm with you with regard to glass Quality it's everything when it comes to rifle scopes.Most manufactures of lesser scopes try to hide there glass quality with complex reticules with chevrons and other objects around the outside of the glass, high quality scopes do not, they speak for themselves.

I don't need to worry my taxes now,I'm retired now but my 6.5x284 makes a dent in world peace as well especially 1000yds

You guy's are gifted with more space in the USA and I'm green with envy with some of your setups, in the UK there are 66 million people living on the area of a postage stamp so space is a luxury.Ihave to set my reloading in the kitchen but I get by. I love your setups they are the way to go.

The best thing to do is start at at jam length and come down in 10 thou increments till you get the best results, it's easy to do if you have a micrometer seater die.The only trouble you can get is if your gun is Mag fed and your best results are over Mag length.

If you are disappointed with European choices you are looking in the wrong places, Zeiss,Schmitt & Bender just to mention a few there are lot more, the truth is with rifle scopes, you get what you pay for full stop or as you say in the US, period.
