Rifle Scopes What scopes have all these features?

The Delta Stryker 3.5-21 checks almost all of your boxes, elevation has a zero stop, not sure it is is locking.
Your biggest issue is going to be the low turret height.
The March definitely has low turrets and great glass, but is above your price range.
The new Burris XTR PS might be just the ticket.
Once you have your data loaded into the scope, get your range from your rangefinder and dial that exact range.
Glass is XTR III level, so not incredible, but serviceable.

You think I'd get any funny looks if i show up to the next PRS match and whip this thing out? I might have to just bring it and try and keep a straight face during sign in. Ill have to load it up on my 53' stepdeck, it isn't gonna fit in the fucking denali. Boy i hope there are no standing positions...
You need to show up with it on a trailer and strapped down.

New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

6arc108group.jpg

I found the pic of one of the early groups on the rifle. It had a whole 20 rounds through it at this point. Warm barrel with a Magnetospeed hanging off the end and a one minute call to cease fire on the line at the range. Not bad for a slightly rushed group at the end of my trip.

I have let some of my workers shoot it on a trip to 1000 and all of them had no issues. This was the first time any of them shot past maybe 50 yards. I warmed them up at 730ish yards first with no issues, then straight to 1k. So to let a handful of novice guys get behind a rifle and give them wind calls and watch every round impact the target was cool to experience. I wish I took pics of some of the groups at distance. Usually 5 shots about the size of my fist at 1000 yards on a zero wind day. With wind I had a little more spread, but very impressive for a gas gun and factory ammo.

37xc Die set question

CEB recommends loading to the seal band
That is the first thing they say, but then if you go on to read more it basically says put it where ever you want/ works for you, just don't shove it to far down into the case neck.

I hang mine pretty far out there cause I have a long throat and don't wanna give up case capacity.

I've thought about getting another reamer with a shorter throat for solids only because I think I'm giving up some velocity to pressure loss, I'm jumping them roughly 150 thou

Don't worry, you've got plenty of time. Thread was started 4 years ago.

Having spoken to Terry all of once, I love the dude and totally appreciate what he's doing but it just ain't fair to hold something so great out in public and not offer it for sale for so long!
I feel your pain. 😄

I can see that he (the sign remover) was trying to make/prove a point. I just don't know if I'd have done it that way (i.e. direct confrontation with the libtards). Perhaps, I'd wait until they go home for the night and then do it. Confronting them like that is a bit risky, not knowing if they're armed or not, and with what. Or, if you might have to use with what you are armed.
Grow a pair.

37xc Die set question

Getting around to measuring CBTO to get some initial loads worked up, and ran into an issue. For every other caliber I load i just use a Hornady OAL tool. Stick it into the chamber, push the rod till the bullet touches the lands, and start at .020 off the lands from there. When I do this, the 400 gr lazer is literally almost falling out of the case in order for the bullet to touch the lands.

Is the method for seating the CEB Lazers different since it has the sealtite band? The barrel has a .225 FB, which was recommended by Tubb. I didn't measure it before i left for work, but its sticking out about .25" past the sealtite band.
You can probably shoot mono's or cup and core bullets in that chamber. Just stick the bullet into the case until you are comfortable with how much the neck is holding it.
