    Yeah I was getting ready to post the same thing - looks like he was off by a factor of ~2. He said it with confidence though... :LOL:

    6.5 Creedmoor Deer Set Up

    Not really. After I get the scope I do some measuring and figure out the lowest ring/mount height I can get away with. I usually set my scope position (eye relief) in prone with scope at max magnification. Use some levels and a plumb bob to get the reticle straight. Cheek height is just...

    6.5 Creedmoor Deer Set Up

    If it was me: Make sure the trigger is how I want it, whether that's adjusting or a spring or a replacement trigger (I've had Timney and Triggertech with no complaints) Get a decent scope (probably a Vortex Razor HD LHT or a Bushnell LRHS-2, or a used older version of either) Get quality...

    Leica 2800-3500.com

    Mine was very close to kestrel out to 1000 yards when setup properly though. So it is accurate. I tend to think you still had an error in setup. Which is understandable, it's not intuitive and the manual that comes with it sucks. I downloaded a manual online and it is more detailed. One odd...

    223 Projectile, High B.C., Short BTO?

    The only difference between wylde and rem is the throat, correct? Have you considered using something like the PT&G Uni-throater to custom throat your existing chamber? It is something I've thought about since I only shoot heavies out of this rifle...

    223 Projectile, High B.C., Short BTO?

    Its post hunting season winter so I'm back on this. I shot a 5 round group of the 75 ELD-M with 23.3 gr N135 (most accurate and most consistent velocity from previous test. And also a 5 rd group of 77 RDF with 22.2gr N135 (most accurate from initial test) and 22.5gr N135 (slightly less...

    7mm rem mag bullet choice

    I'd be looking at the 160 Tipped Matchking, 162 ELD-X, or 168 Berger Classic Hunter. Considering the winds I experience in pronghorn habitat, I won't go with a less aerodynamic bullet than my rifle can handle. And you don't need a "tough" bullet for pronghorn sized creatures. I've had good...

    16" or 18" barrel for 6.5 CM?

    T3x 6.5cm cut to 18.5" and suppressed: I'm shooting 130gr Sierra Tipped Gamekings at 2,660 fps and they are down to ~2,000 fps at: 400 yards at 800' elevation 550 yards at 8000' elevation. For what I want to do I wouldn't go shorter on the barrel. I would rather use a 5" suppressor than the 8"...

    I got my Lieca 2800.com on black friday deal. I've been playing with it and setting up my curves but haven't had any significant field use. Any solver will need trued. Here is a comparison between the Leica ballistics (in the Leica app) and Hornady 4DOF App (which I have been using with good...
