I’ll check it out thank you

I keep looking for information on this scope and just am not finding any relative information. I am looking hard at this scope, the glass seems nice and I want a light weight scope. I have a vortex on it now and honestly I just do not like vortex. I do not feel like shelling out money for...

I tried using Redding completion dies with different bushing dies and had concentricity issues. Started full length sizing with Forster dies then using mandrels to control neck tension and concentricity got better. My sd/es got better as well. All of this boosted my confidence in my load...

I’ll play with it some more today. See if I can adjust it down. I’ll stay with small rifle right now, I have my press set up for my large rifle now and have good results with it. Thank you

I recently bought a frankford arsenal hand primer because my rcbs bit the dust. I was using my press for a while to prime (Redding ultra mag and Forster co ax). I wanted to control depth and feel a little better. My problem is that the ram leaves marks on cci primers. I have been loading...

Tac would be one of the few powders I do not have haha

I personally think the flimsy b14 stock needs reinforcing around the action. The action is smooth and trigger is adequate.

My brother has a Bergara b-14 hunter and I had accuracy issues trying to work a load up for it. I noticed one thing on it and that was the action screws backed out on it and good loads didn’t repeat. I felt that the gun needed bedding and bedded the rifle. I have not gotten to finalize the...

has anyone had good luck with 77 grain smk.

Mine likes it at 3063 so that’s about where the next node is I believe. I’m glad to see someone else has had good results with this powder.

What brass and seating depth were you using for that.

I would definitely give a magnum longer to cool. If you are hunting with it the first shot is the most important. I wouldn’t shoot more than 3 before letting it cool. Honestly I never shoot more than 2 until right at the end. Magnums will heat up quick. That’s just me unless it’s a...

I would look at 68.9 that looks like a pretty good node. You should be able to use seating depth to fine tune the load. Definitely run that charge again to make sure it is a repeatable result.

I would agree with wild bill. When I asked over at long range only I didn’t get much if any input. Quick load is a great tool to help with starting loads. I keep talking myself out of it. I do shoot 175 hybrids but my load with h1000 and retumbo was almost the same. I just have a 1 and 9 and...

I have heard people complain loading with N570 but I love using it. Each granule is 1/10 of a grain so getting perfect charges is easy. Just go low and trickle up. My max load with retumbo before hbn coating was 71.5. (Slight primer swipe). Start low work up like always and be careful. I...
