    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I’ll second that. My experience across 6 guns was also just as good with the 73 ELD. For folks suggesting a separate bullet for practice, I’d suggest using it due to lower cost than the SMK, and closer BC to the TMK. I’ve found the zero to be within .1-.3 mil in both axes for my rigs. I...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    I only put one on the side of the buttstock. There isn’t much meat, but I drilled and tapped what wall thickness was there and put a little epoxy on the threads. I was just experimenting and tinkering and shortly after that pretty much got away from slings and went to using a quick release...

    Ok, riddle me this. When I get a "good" dry fire with no reticle jump, what made the difference? Can you point me to a deeper understanding of whats happening mechanically in the gun vs. mechanically with me?

    As in, previously primed and fired, so now dead primer? Don't tell me that ive been chasing a rabbit with my jumps on dry fire.

    Barrel break in, does it matter?

    Threw an SWFA 10x on my Bartlein/T3X 223 and rezeroed. I said I’d keep good records, but I didn’t. Think round count is about 600 rounds. No cleaning.

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Q&A

    I thought using a 6x power scope at distance would be a big handicap. As hard as I tried, I couldn't see any significant difference with rounds on target out to 800 yards between my 6x vs. other scopes up to 20x. 800 yards is about the max I can shoot on a regular basis. I guess if you...

    223 brass

    I think Form said reading it bedtime stories shaves off 1/4 MOA from your 3 round groups.

    223 brass

    Giraud is money. This is the only way I've found to make trimming worth my time. Its literally faster than measuring.

    Lightweight scope that dials with zero stop, does it exist?

    I bought the Fury II AB in June '21. I can report that mine has been fine for my use in temperatures as low as about 20 degrees (full cold soak). However, i rarely am ranging more than 800 yards and haven't done a formal test. It has lived in my truck on most weekends this winter (day and...

    223 brass

    Have you tried a mix of lanolin and high % alcohol in a spray bottle? This is uber cheap, fast as one-shot, and I can't find a reason not to do it other than having to clean it off after sizing (I'm too cheap for one-shot)

    223 brass

    Heck, I'll bite. Form, do you clean your brass? Do you not have a mess in your die in short order without cleaning up 5.56 brass? I've been wet tumbling large quantities of brass without any media with good results and very little time spent working it. I can't remember the last time I...
