8's over 10's all day long. Better exit pupil. The extra powers is no advantage in a neck bino. My opinion

Cow elk caliber for kids rifle
apache12 replied to BOWUNTR's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
7mm-08. the Bullet your rifle shoots well. If you'll have the youth carry the rifle I think the Tikka is a great light rifle and the 7mm-08 kicks a bit more than a 243 so it's a nice set up with a light rifle and an easy kick. Short barrel swing too 22 inch . Eurooptics has the tikka t3 on sale for a nice price -
I struggle to find a good place to shoot at 3-5 hundred yards. Seems like I'm always running into people And I only have 15's. For glass. Makes for a lot of walking to check target. Thought I would try a ladder at Ben Avery but hate to waste bullets if a ladder at 200 what really show any nodes

Good stuff. Thanks. Think I'll head of table mesa or maybe up to Dugas turn off. Try to get out butt crack and avoid the wind up there

I like it too. I've been staring at one on Europtics for a month. Too much of a.... to pull the trigger

so I'm not a novice at ladder test, but i believe I should test the initial loads at 200 to 300 yards, and increase load by .3. I have also read some people skip the lower charge weights because they what to find the most accurate charge at a highest velocity for obvious increased performance. If as some suggest the initial powder charge test is around 20 rounds as you go up in increments does anyone recommend cleaning a barrel during this 20 round group? If you start with a clean barrel will there by that big of an effect on the 20th round if you're just looking for the string load? I plan to use the same bullet and seat depth and three different powders. 20 rounds in each powder, to find the powder and charge weight to start with and then go to bullet seat depth. Does that sound like the right plan? I think I'll do this over three days. Open to any suggestions from the more experienced

great responses. thanks. I should have added that this is for my 257 wby. so I suppose .3 increments are not wise. I usually shoot at Ben Avery and only can get 200 yards, then I go to the desert and shoot to 500. it sounds like from what you guys are both saying id be better off getting to the desert and ladder testing at 400 to 500. AZsugerbear, are you saying that i could go 250 or more rounds without cleaning? Maybe I'm cleaning to often. I usually clean my rifles after each trip to the range. I'm all for cleaning less.

Did I spell that right? For a non match shooter how important is this tool? Noticeable improvement? I should say I use a hornady press and dies. So maybe it would help me more as I assume hornady not as good as RCBS. Or Redding

Federal 215 primer super tight in new brass and one real bad
apache12 posted a topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
So I'm using federal magnum primers for the first time and thought I'd do some loads with brand new Weatherby brass. Every primer was super tight to place in brass. Like a two hand squeeze Hornadau primer loader. Which I like. Normally very positive engagement Then one primer in pocket got totally messed up. Is this just new brass and exact specs of fed primer? I updated pics of loaded rounds that I just noticed the primer are a bit squeezed do think I should pull all these? They are new test loads -

Yea I have confirmed with Weatherby in the past that Norma makes their brass and ammo -

They sent new brass? That's nice. Wonder if I should call Weatherby. They'll say call Norma or piss off I suspect -
Kids exchange is a good idea. I don't think I have boots that size but I have certainly thrown them and other clothes out as my boys grew

Found some of these online and bought all they had. I have a total of 2000. They cost me $103 with shipping and hazard fee. Not looking to make a profit so $50 for a 1000. $25 for 500 I'd like to keep 500. Ship on your dime
