The unvetted rumor that I heard was that the atf has been getting some bad publicity for not really doing anything so they have been trying to speed up approval turn around time to justify they are needed. Which seems dumb to me but whatever
Man if money is no object check out a zero compromise or tangent theta.
Honestly though get him a Nightforce Atacr in a max 16-20x magnification. And get a FFP. If you’re looking to get custom turrets, get the stickers and redo the stickers before each hunt based on the specific environmentals...
Primer pockets get looser with subsequent reloads and I’ve just found better longevity with the smaller primers. Some hunters in cold weather say that it’s better for the large rifle primer, if that’s something you’re concerned about. Shoot what you have, nothing wrong with large primers. Small...
Yes and if you’re shooting from an AR platform, I’d keep full length resizing. An AR platform, chambers differently and extracts differently (sometimes if it’s over gassed it will really dent the brass neck when it’s ejecting) but it’s not quite as accurate as a bolt action. I wouldn’t waste...
I want to throw my two cents in here because I’ve had a different experience. I reload and admittedly shoot most of my stuff through a bolt action. On my more accurate rifles 6bra and 6.5 creed for example, it’s not so much my group size that tightens up, but my velocities and SD. I usually only...
I’m team Garmin all day. I’ve had a magneto speed and it’s worked pretty good. I do get a point of impact shift just slightly probably do to it hanging off the edge of the barrel, but it’s good for getting velocity for my drop tables. My buddy got a lab radar when it came out and we broke it the...
I’ve used the 195 in my 28 Nosler (extreme long range hunter is what I think they call it), and the 105 hybrid target in my 6bra. I’ve shot a bunch of whitetail with the 105 and it smacks. Grafted in Texas most of my shots are only 100 yards or so, so I’m not worried about losing energy.
What barrel twist are you using? I was planning on running the 88 eldm and then last night I watched Ultimate Reloader talk about how his 1-8 twist was not spinning the 88 enough to give tight groups.
