I have a Bushmaster with a 1:8 barrel that should shoot these 180 gr VLD's but I am unable to find a load that will keep powder compression down and still stay under the over length to feed into the AR magazine.

Anyone have a load source for these.

I purchased a Savage LRH (long range hunter) in 6.5 x 284 Norma. After over 100 test shots and different powders, bullets and seating depth I was convinced it would never be better than a 2 MOA rifle. Here is a photo of the target from my modified 6.5 x 284 Savage with bi-pod and Burris 8-32x50 scop...

is this scope still for sale?

good catch and yes you are right 1/100. sorry bout that

Just wondering, what effect if any does brass that is up to a tenth short of the published size have on accuracy?

thanks

ON ORDER ! Will report when i try it out.

Asking 30 bucks each which includes priority mail shipping in the continental U.S.

Bodei, How many times have you left the powder drain open when you changed powders? A couple a times of that and I started putting a plain piece of white paper under the chargemaster just in case I did it again. All in all I agree. A great powder dispenser!

Looking to replace my savage 17HMR with the Valquartzen TF 17. Does anyone have any experience with this rifle.

They are showing 18 Shots in under a half inch at 65 yards. Also claims sub MOA 5 round groups.

wow, that looks like my savage 17 hmr. crowned it bedded it and no help.

I see a lot of posts for folks using the 39 Grain Blitz King. I also see a lot saying they can't get it to group. What I don't see is much reference to twist rates on the rifles that DO shoot well. I am thinking of trying it on the DPMS upper which is a 1:12. Sounds a bit slow for the 39 but there a...
