Point of diminishing returns for a 2-12 ish scope

Bought it, have shot it a few times, love it thus far. Have two identical rifles, one with this and the other with an ATACR 4-16 and the ATACR is as much better as it is heavier. The Trijicon is everything a boy needs to whack pigs out to 400+.

Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

I'm intrigued on one hand, and concerned due to the low hanging side 18650's it wouldn't work with the 45 degree throw over a typical rail on a 50mm objective.

With that said, I would LOVE to be wrong, that would be a real game changer for me. I'm not mad at my NOX at all, but if I could leave my 20" on the tripod and put a totally repeatable thermal optic on, I think I would usually default to that option.

Primer seating depth?

Yeah I'm aware there are tools now that may account for rim thickness. When I went down the rabbit hole there was not and I'm still happy with my priming process and see no reason to change at this time.

I'd say when one is happy with their process . . . IMHO, that's all that really counts. :rolleyes: :giggle:

Primer seating depth?

Variance in cup height, anvil protrusion & rim thickness led me to seating the cup to the bottom of the pocket then applying a specific crush. This is with a uniformed pocket.
Even if you're pockets are within a thou and you measure every primer and get it installed exactly as the math would indicate you still get a variance from rim thickness.

I use a Primal Rights seater on an F Class products base with indicator to measure the crush.
From there I'll sort the primed cases for below flush of the case head. I know it sounds like a lot but I'm still only handling the case one time in the priming operation.

The ladder test pic was at 600 yards in 2022 after winning a 16 target benchrest agg match. 8 targets at 600 and 8 targets at 1000 over 3 days setting a new 16 target group agg record that's still standing.
I shot the match with .004" crush the test after showed .002" & .003" to be better.

Regarding "variance from rim thickness", while that's true for almost all primer seating tools, it's not so for the Lee ACP (which I have and use) and Sinclair has one that won't index off the rim thickness. :giggle:
