Main reason I like DNZ Game Reaper is the rings are purt'nigh always offset inside of the base mounting screws. This allows me to run my leedle Leuy 2.5-8 and 2-7 on long action rifles. On my 220F I tried many mounts, including the most highly recommended rail with Warne rings combo. I cut...

Good afternoon, Team. I am once again infected with the 6.5 calibre bug. I am thinking about rebarreling a Kimber 84L to 6.5-284, vs an 8400wsm to 6.5wsm. Of course the wsm is faster. But if I set the barrel length at 24", I don't understand how the larger case is an advantage. Seems like a...

I am still piecing together parts to try 140 gn Absolute Hammer in my 280AI 1:9 22". I found TWO CANS of IMR 4451 last week. That was an exciting moment. The only rifle powder I've seen this spring. It seems like most are recommending magnum primers, and today I finally found Remington...

Ha! You're right! I had a 12 in there for inches to feet, but I didn't have a 60 for seconds to minutes. I reported rps rather than rpm. A spreadsheet is only as good as its formulae. I think I'll start out with 140 AH and IMR 4451.

Does the unexpected velocity increase mean we can use a slower twist? For example, if a man said he needed an 8.5 twist for his bullets rated at 3,000 fps, that would be 4235 rpm. But, hey, if he's running 3,200 fps instead, a 9 twist would give him... 4235 rpm. I ask because it's still...

I am awaiting delivery of my Kimber 8400 Montana in 270 wsm. I'll be mounting a Leupold 2.5-8x36, and at this point am most interested in the S&K skulptured base and their V1B low rings. Looks smooth, clean, and light. The Leu scope isn't very long, and the objective is pretty tapered...
