    First off MAGAZINE NOT CLIP....LMAO sorry I had too...

    I use the Berger 140 VLD. FYI I measure Cartrige base to ogive CBTO... The ruger Magazines are also short but seating at 2.175 which is .030 off the lands on my custom also work great in the ruger. Only bad thing about the Ruger is the throat is way too deep at 2.255. My custom is at 2.205. Most savage, custom have been 2.205 to 2.225. Measure you throat and see how deep your throat is. If its too deep you will run into this with all bullets. Even though I am .080 away on the lands on the ruger is shoots great. They say the Hybrids are less sensitive to seating depth but I had a heck of a time finding a sweet spot in all my guns.

    With all 3 of the ruger american 6.5 creedmoors we own the FACTORY ELD-X were averaging .350 groups at 100 yards. If I were to load them and play with seating depth and shoot them out of my custom I know they would be under .250. I just can't get away from my BERGER VLD 140 to load some of these up to try.

    I have for sale Swarovski 15x56 slc binos I would like 1400.00. They do not have a single scratch on them. I had them go through the binos in 2012 and make sure everything was great. Have paperwork showing no cost for all work done. They are great. I have the 15x56 HD now. My son likes these but a little big for him so he wants the new 12 or new 15. I know he's spoiled.

    On saturday I was able to put my dad, my nephew and I in. BUT when I tried to do my son it would just say UN-BEARABLE after entering in my payment info. I too talked to the CRYPT KEEPER this morning and told me to try again later and if I still can't get him in to put in by paper for him.

    I have dealt with Swarovski with repairs needed on my binos and within 1 week had them back at no cost replaced the left side of my binos never had an issue since.

    People say that Vortex is the best.

    I have dealt with Vortex with repairs needed on my PST scope and within 1 week had the back at no cost BUT within weeks had to send it in again, and yep you guessed it a 3rd time. :)

    I bought just any reloading gear I thought I needed and man was I wrong. It really depends on what reloading you want to do. If you want to make precise, accurate, and long range ammo then you really need to read the accurate shooter reviews of what the bench rest guys use. I bought all this stuff and ended up selling it ALL because I was not getting the results I was looking for. I upgraded all my equipment off of what the bench guys/long range guys recommend taking in reviews from multiple forums and sites of what is the best of the best. If I would have done this first I could have saved money and not bought all the first inexpensive items.

     

    Now if you are wanting to do both fast reloading and precision reloading then you will need to check into all the reviews you can. I can tell you from now on thats ALL i do. If i want to buy something i research for months before pulling the trigger (no pun intended) so I know I am investing in something I truly need and want. In the end it is worth the wait and you will already know how to use it before getting it.

     

    Also there is a great book out there for Precision Reloading called

    Handloading for Competition Making the Target Bigger

    It has probably the best info for making those perfect pills for precision shots.

    Whatever you do RESEARCH is the key. Dont get something because I said or Joe Blow said so. Get what you want and need the first time. I went through 3 presses before settling on a Harrell Precision Press why because with my dies it creates zero run out and I can take the press to the range if need be. So I spent 450.00 total on the first 3 presses then spending 200.00 on the Harrell and on the 450 I only got back maybe 300.

     

    Once you start it is very addicting and time consuming.

    What about the guys that put down lets say an example 24B late nov Coues 2nd choice or 3rd choice. Now I have seen this happen lots. They DONT get drawn for it and actually have left over tags on the list of left overs. I UNDERSTAND how the draw works but laugh that there are left over tags for a unit they put in for but did not get drawn.

    A $300 will get you a video but the quality wont be there. You can get and optical zoom as high as you want but if the lens isnt any good or the sensor that doesnt mean anything. Cameras are like optics, you get what you pay for.

    I had a 1800.00 camera and loved it but could not get any distance from it at all. Did you see my videos on the last page? I don't know any camera out there that is taking that good of video at that distance ESPECIALLY for 300.00. I sold my 1800.00 camera for the 300.00 one. I took photography in high school and have had some great cameras over the years. I have to say ANYTHING long range is hard to video/photograph but these cameras that are 300.00 to 500.00 are very impressive.

     

    have you ever tried using a phoneskope type attachment for your phone to use on your binos or spotting scope? you can take some amazing quality video from way the heck out.

     

    Yes I have tried but still does not have enough magnification. Thats why I went this route. I have tried everything but the 20,000.00 lens. :)
