Anyone?

...because I think I already know the answer, but I'll ask anyway. Does anyone make a 20+(variable power), first focal plane, 50mm obj, milrad reticle with hunting turrets? I recently bought a SWFA SS 5-20 that works great but is a little heavy (and cumbersome) for a hike all day elk gun...

Lengths: Berger 1.254" Nosler 1.304" I think I might be getting more case pressure because of the length and shape of the Nosler (seated deeper because it's longer). The Berger looks like it has less bearing surface, so I don't think that's the culprit. Any suggestions for seating depths...

It's a Weatherby, so not sure about distance to lands (freebore). I set the OAL as long as possible. This was the first test of the loads--5 rounds each and I averaged the velocities. The faster group was shot after the slower group but I let the gun cool several minutes. I'm guessing...

This may be a stupid question, but on the surface it's perplexing for a simpleton like me. Here's the data, an ideas what may be causing this? 300 Weatherby Accumark, same gun, same brass/primers, same powder load, same OAL: 168 gr Berger Classic Hunter (BC .496) = 3125fps 168 gr Nosler...

Post or pm what you've got. Thanks

All, Thanks for the good words. I did the deal and received the rifle as advertised. Now I need glass to shoot it.

Is there a work around for PayPal fees?

Should I pay via PayPal or postal MO? Thanks for the help.

How much are you a$king?

Thanks for the words

Sorry this post is a little off topic, but I wasn't sure where else to post it. I have been negotiating with a couple LHR members to buy a rifle but not quite sure how to go about it without being scammed. I have one seller request I send a money order and he'll ship the gun to me. As much...

If like to step up from a Vanguard but will keep it in mind. Thanks.

Uncle Roy would've wanted me to have one... I'm a 300 Win mag shooter but looking to upgrade my back-up Vanguard 300 Win mag (trade) for a 300 Wby... ...or buy a 300 Wby. Let me know what you've got. Thanks.

CORRECTION!!! It's .300 Wby Remington brass (not Weatherby)--my mistake. Thanks Backwoods.
