Absolutely! Share away. Ultimately, I'm just trying to help people out, so the more that benefit from it the better.

It definitely was! The testing and data crunching were a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. It was awesome to get hands on experience with all the different designs. They are far from "all the same." Lots of cool and unique features on most of them. Man, it is crazy how far scopes have come in...

I know a couple people that still reference this thread, and I had some empirical data I thought might help others trying to figure this out. Essentially one of my closest friends has two Surgeon rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and he has tried out a 26" barrel as well as a 22" barrel (both...

I've looked at literally thousands over the past few weeks, but don't remember seeing any that are 80+% white. You probably saw the one on the gallery that is 70% white (link below), and I have a few that are 60% white as well...

I'm not at this time ... I plan to continually add more stocks to the photo gallery, so you might check back over time.

That is definitely one of my best groups. My average group size is 0.25-0.30" with that load, with 25% being slightly smaller that average (down to the .18" group shown), 50% being within that range, and 25% being slightly larger than average. Here are some of the stats from my groups: mean =...

I have a 7mm Rem Mag, and have a load that has produced 0.18" groups (see photo below). I wrote a series of blog posts that walk through my load development process that I thought might be helpful. Check it out at: 7mm Rem Mag Load Development Part 1: Bullet Selection & Real-World Velocities...

I created a blog post that lists all of the max COAL that will fit in several different magazines. I thought you guys might find it helpful for reference. Detachable Magazine Dimensions & Max COAL | Precision Rifles & Handloading

I created a table-top portable reloading press stand for this, similar to the one Sinclair offers (but with some improvements ... at least in my opinion). I drew it all up in a CAD program, and posted all the plans and instructions to try to help. I thought you guys might be interested in...

I completely agree. Hans Spuhr showed me the 45 degree mount at the 2013 Shot Show. After seeing it, it seems completely ideal. Like you said, you can just rotate the gun to aquire the reflex sight, and you never even have to lift your head off the cheek rest. I have a reflex sight mounted...

I wrote an article that has a brief explanation of bearing surface, how to measure true bearing surface (different from base to ogive), and the bearing surface variations I've found in match bullets. I thought you guys might find it helpful. Check it out at...

I get this question A LOT from friends. So often in fact, that I took the time to write a comprehensive blog post about it. Here is what all I cover in the article. I go into more detail in each one, and have specific scope recommendations (all from 2013). Most Important Features To Look...

I think the best setup is a quality long-range scope, with a small reflex sight attached. The long-range scope allows you to get some distance, but the reflex sight ensures quick target acquisition if something pops up under 100 yards. The picture below shows one example of what I'm talking...

This is actually a pretty confusing question. I had read this several months ago, then when I was at the 2013 Shot Show I noticed Lapua's new reloading manual also listed the 7mm Rem Mag loads to be using a Lupua case. They also reference that on their website. I talked to the Fins at the...
