    Scope base & ring question

    I use Valdada Rings, Valdada 20 moa base, and Sightron SIII 6-24X50 FFP LRMOA scope. By far a great set up. I get 95 moa of elevation and wind age. The Sightron SIII SFP 6-24X50 will get you 100+ moa of elevation and windage. I have used Seekins, US Optics, Nightforce, ect for the rings and bases and can tell you from all the work I have done the Valdada are just as nice for a little less.

    Reload accessory tips?

    wow where to start. I use the Lyman prep center for un precision calibers 22-250 bla bla bla. Works great and is fast. I use a Thumbler model B for stainless tumbling http://www.stainlesstumblingmedia.com/reloading-products/tumblers/thumler-s-tumbler-model-b-high-speed.html I use a LE Wilson case trimmer http://www.midwayusa.com/product/276092/le-wilson-micrometer-case-trimmer-stainless-steel-case-trimming-kit?cm_mmc=pf_ci_google-_-pf_ci_google-_-pf_ci_google-_-pf_ci_google&gclid=CJaXq5iGpMYCFdcVgQod6PsB8Q I use the (VERY GOOD TOOL TO HAVE) K&M chamfering tool for precision work https://www.kmshooting.com/catalog/case-neck-chamfer-tools/controlled-depth-tapered-reamer_large_6mm-338.html I use the (VERY GOOD TOOL TO HAVE) Sinclair Primer pocket tool with the driver adapter for my drill http://www.sinclairintl.com/reloading-equipment/case-preparation/primer-pocket-tools/handles/sinclair-primer-pocket-uniformers-prod34720.aspx I use a Ballistics edge annealer for annealing http://www.annealingmachines.com/model-400.html I use a Harrells press http://harrellsprec.com/index.php/products/compact-reloading-press I use a Hornady concentricity tool http://www.hornady.com/store/Ammunition-Concentricity-Tool/ I use a Redding Concentricity guage for cases http://www.midwayusa.com/product/311160/redding-case-neck-concentricity-gage I use a RCBS Chargemaster 1500 for fast throws http://www.midwayusa.com/product/772151/rcbs-chargemaster-1500-powder-scale-and-dispenser-combo-110-volt I use a Sartorius ENTRIS323-1S for double weighing (getting the weight to .02 precision) http://balance.balances.com/scales/662 I use a 21st century SS priming tool for precise primer seating depth http://www.21stcenturyshooting.com/S.S_FQUY.php I use the Hornady digital calipers (have about 4 sets) 1 for the headspace measurement, 1 for hornady comparator CBTO, 2 for regular measurements Lyman flash hole uniformer http://www.sinclairintl.com/reloading-equipment/case-preparation/flash-hole-deburring-tools/lyman-flash-hole-uniformer-prod44714.aspx Sinclair flashhole reamer (get the .081 for bigger flashholes and .0625 for small) http://www.sinclairintl.com/reloading-equipment/case-preparation/flash-hole-deburring-tools/sinclair-flashhole-reamer-0625-prod36020.aspx If I think of anything else I will put it up. Most of these items I use are for precision work. I can get by without using half for my 22-250.

    Calibration Defense| Anybody ever try it?

    If you plead not responsible then a court date will be set so the officer can be there too. For a speeding ticket 99% of the time the officer never shows up hence you will be found not responsible. But yes you do have a valid argument with the radar not being calibrated. No matter as long as you are polite and dress accordingly you and file not responsible with the argument of not being calibrated your case will be dismissed.

    Laws on minors hunting and shooting

    In Arizona the kids can hunt small game without taking Hunt Ed. Just big game and if they are between 10-14 they have too. I use to run around out in the hills when I was young (in the 80's) with sks, shootgun, 22's, with no one around. I never did get hurt and I was safe. Mind you i was around 8 or 9 when I use to do this. But of course I knew the consequences if I did something wrong.

    Rifle scope ?

    Where did you order from?Brian eBayThanks Ordered it Monday Arrived yesterday. Looks nice. Have it mounted. Will Shoot it tomorrow. I'm still trying to decide which scope to get. I do very little rifle hunting but I would like a decent set up on my new 6.5 creedmoor.Brian This is what I've got on my creedmoor. Awesome scope! Of course Brian you probably already know I have a few all on Creedmoors. These scopes ffp will take you out to 1700 yards and the sfp scopes even further. The clarity is edge to edge crisp. Very light weight, perfect tracking, and the company does in house custom upgrades like if you would like a turret cap on the windage they can do that for you. They will even change the reticle if you would like. before you buy they do have a new reticle the moa-h. Look up this scope and look at the new reticle better for windage holds.

    Changing Savage Barrel

    That is fine the way you are doing it if you are getting a consistent reading. There are many ways of doing it. Just the hornady lock n load oal gauge is the simplest to use. You will get a consistent reading from it. They don't cost much either.

    Changing Savage Barrel

    Get the Hornady overall length guage and the required case for the caliber you need. This will help you measure the Ogive on your gun so you can prepare loads correctly. Once you do your initial load development the next step is fine tuning the load by adjusting seating depth. Without knowing what you Cartridge Base To Ogive (CBTO) is you will not be able to fine tune. Measuring the Cartridge Overall Length (COAL meaning from base to tip of bullet) you will not be consistent. You want to be able to measure CBTO so the consistency will be the same. The Ogive matters the Bullets tip does not. Just remember Consistency is the key to being able to produce tiny 1 hole groups and keeping the group very small, sub MOA at long distances.

    Changing Savage Barrel

    Kinda true. But know this when you tighten the nut it will create MORE head space than normal because of the nut pulling on the barrel threads. It is simple but be safe and get a go AND nogo gauge. Get a barrel nut wrench and you will also need a barrel vise or action vise. The action vise works better IMO.

    Rifle scope ?

    I have tested some of the top names Nightforce, Valdada, Sightron, Vortex, Leupold. It depends on what you are looking for. For strength, dependability, and Lots of elevation I would say Nightforce/Valdada. For dependability, lots of elevation, and very little weight Sightron/Leupold. For warranty Vortex. Not to diss on vortex but I have owned 5 different lower end scopes HS, PST, Diamondback, crossfire, and man they all needed work only after a little use. Every scope has little flaws like its too heavy, edge clarity, not enough adjustments, ect. You have to pick the one that has all the features you want and don't want. I have owned all mentioned above. But the only scope that had a great balance (24oz weight, very great clarity, LOTS of elevation, Tracked .9998578% perfection (which was the best), great warranty,) was the Sightron SIII 6-24X50 scopes. I have both FFP and SFP. The FFP has 95 moa of elevation, and the SFP has 105 moa of elevation. These scope have some of the best tracking (if not the best) in the industry. Sightron claims to have the best tracking and from all the tests I have ran they do. The scopes do not come with a zero stop but for a hunting scope I do not need a zero stop. For PRS you probably would. that was the only flaw this scope had was not having a zero stop. You can find the FFP for around 850.00 some places. These again are all my experiences and recommendations. I do not work for any of these companies. When my friends call me and want to get a HUNTING scope I tell them to come shoot my gun to see the scope in action. After that they save themselves lots of money buying the sightron. When they actually mount the scope they fall in love. Maybe some will chime in to what I mean.

    Nosler Accubond Long Range

    I have had a 2 different Hornady electro scale, RCBS 1010 balance, RCBS Chargemaster 1500 (I still have), GemPro 250, and a Sartorius Entris 323-1S (still have). I can tell you the hornadys, both RCBS, and even the gempro I do not trust, not when you have a Sartorius. The Sartorius will give you a TRUE weigh but at a price point that you will not like (850.00). I have now charged my way up that if I would have just bought the Sartorius it would have been the same price as buying all the other scales. The laboratory type scales like the Sartorius are all very accurate because of the weigh system Magnetic Force Restoration. Most of the cheaper scales are strain gauge. I throw my weights on the RCBS 1500 and then re-weigh on the Sartorius and can tell you the RCBS reads it correctly threw the charge but the Sartorius will read anywhere between -2.0 gn to +2.0 gn. So if you are into reloading to PERFECTION, and to creating a PERFECT load as I am, the Sartorius is the way to go. Very well worth the money. I have watched the other cheaper scales do some crazy thing like yours did with weighing the bullets. I am not saying these cheaper scales don't work but they will get you close. Just thought I would share a little of that info with you guys!!!
  14. I had patterned my shotgun looking for a good turkey load. I was using a xtra full choke and tried hornady, winchester, and heavy shot. At 30 yards the hornady and winchester were about a 30" circle which imo sucks. So I bought a Xtra Xtra full choke and it helped a little on the horn and win but only by about 5 inches. When I tried the Heavy shot I got an 8" circle with 90% shot in the circle at 30 yards and 12" circle with 90% shot in the circle at 40 yards. For turkey loads I understand patterning but for bird you could only do so much. This helped me know what my range I could shoot out too.

    Compact Rifle . . .Which one?

    I second the vote for Ruger American Predator in a 6.5 Creedmoor, Would be a great round for your wife. My nephew 10 years old and my son which was 8 at the time has taken this rifle out to 1000 yards.
  17. I am now selling my other Savage 6.5 Creedmoor. Rifle has about 350 rounds through it. I have 64 very precise loaded rounds that also go with gun. Brass is nosler, cci-br2 primers, h4350 @ 41.4 gn, and loaded with Berger 140 gn VLD hunting bullets. I will also provide the buyer with all the specs i have for this rifle like seating depth, powder info, throat info, headspace info, ect. This gun produces 2" groups at 750 yards. 2800 fps. This rifle is very precise and accurate. I am asking 2000.00 for everything above. Please see below for all other info. Does not come with scope or rings.

    Custom Savage 6.5 Creedmoor "for sale"

    She is sold. A bench rest shooter took it to a match and won the match.
  19. Cbto 2.190 (.020 jump) for 1 rifle with a load of 41.6. Lot #2 of powder takes 41.8. Cbto 2.170 (.035 jump) for 2nd rifle with a load of 41.4. All h4350 powder. 1st rifle has cci-br2 primers 2nd rifle has federal 210m. The first rifle is my savage I have for sale and the 2nd rifle Is my custom Shilen. Most guns will love 41.5 to 42.5 grains of h4350. Try to get her at 2800 fps and you should have a smoking gun. I shot another .20 inch 5 shot group at 300 today with my custom again. Find that special seating depth and anything at 2700, 2800, or 2900 should shoot lights out.

    thats surprising you can't find the primers. The brass is a little hard but the primers should be available. I will keep an eye out for you.
