Sounds like a one off fluke. If you have the brightness cranked all the way up, the dot can appear oversized. I used mine to make hits today on a ~30 inch gong at around 125ish yards.
Quick math shows that a 133 Berger seated with the bottom of the bearing surface at the neck/shoulder junction of a 25-06 case comes out to 3.379 inches COAL. Give or take a few thou for bullet irregularitys. Add about .050 if you believe in having one bore diameter(.257) of contact between the...
Kore, wear mine every day, from jeans and shorts, to under a duty belt. Get the two pack, one leather one nylon and save the leather for more formal occasions, nylon for every day use. The ratchet system is so easy to adjust and fine tune, I don’t know if I could ever go back to a standard belt.
Start at 38ish and work up. I ran up to 42.5gr. Didn’t hit pressure but it shot well at 42 so I left it there. Throated long and using necked down Hornady 6 creed brass.
Weekend availability. I typically work 60+ hours between Friday morning and Monday night. Getting a Saturday/Sunday off is pretty much off the table without a couple months advance notice and burning vacation time.
JES can rebore some pretty thin barrels, he did a 338-06 on a Kimber Montana for me and said he’d have no issue cutting it out to 358 based on the barrel thickness.
Zeroed my 700ML today, 80gr BH209 by weight with a 250gr Barnes. Shot about a 2-3 inch 3 shot group at 100 yards. No ignition problems with CCI standard 209 primers and the Badger ridge kit. I have a Williams peep sight and ran out of elevation though. I’m still 4 inches low at 100. Any...
I'm doing a 30 Nos,, 9 twist 21-22 inch barrel. Sitting on a pile of 215 bergers and 199 hammers. Hope to have it back in time to find a bear before the end of the year.
It doesn’t. Call me a 3-oh-hater, but I can’t find any reason to own one. Everything it does, there’s other cartridges that do it better, albeit at the expense of barrel life.
I bet they would, especially at creedmoor speeds. If I were to do it again I'd probably do an 8 twist as I feel I'm on the ragged edge of shucking jackets with the 7.
