I want to keep this thread strictly about data regarding the Berger 109gr Hybrid in the 6 Dasher, so please leave out your favorite 105gr VLD/Hybrid comments. I am using Alpha Brass and rem bench rest 7.5 sr primers. Thanks

Garmin Foretrex 901 and the system

Can anyone help me understand how Garmin's latest Foretrex 901 works together with other accessories like weather stations and range finders?

My understanding is the Garmin Foretrex already has a built-in Applied Ballistic calculator and I only need input from sensors of other accessories like a Kestrel weather meter and a bluetooth enabled range finder such as Sig BDX family to support the calculation.

Besides Bluetooth, Is there any other specifc requirements for Foretrex to be connected to those accessories ?

Because I saw @Garmin reply in another thread, even it's not directly to Foretrex but I think its related, said:
Starting with v9.33 of the Tactix 7 software, released today, the Tactix will now integrate with any of the Kestrel Ballistics Weather Meters with Applied Ballistics.
I'm wondering if the AB calculation is done within the Foretrex, why bother the Kestrel to have AB as well? The only two Kestrel models that have AB are 5700 Elite and 5700X Elite which are their most expensive ballistic models.

If there's other requirements, can anyone or the official @Garmin lists the product that have been tested working with the Foretrex 901?

and just out of curiosity, if a Kestrel / range finder works with 901, does it works with 701 as well?

Thank you!

‘Entry level’ chassis

Looking to dip my toes into the bolt gun world, from the world of ARs.

The pragmatist in me knows that the Seekins and MPA turn key guns are the best value(s) under $3k.

The eternal tinkerer in me knows I won’t be happy with a factory gun as configured. With a hard $1250 cap on a chassis, is there anything better than an MDT ACC Premier Gen 2 or an MPA BA ESR?

The intent is to configure the rifle (minus glass and mount) for $3k, so I think that budget for a chassis still allows for a higher end barrel, trigger, and muzzle device.

Accessories MPA BA Competition Chassis R700

MPA BA Comp chassis for R700, Righ Hand, Short Action models. Fresh black cerakote. Includes Weighted Bag rider, NV Bridge with thumb rest and Picatinny Rail, NV Bridge Spacers for competition contour barrels, Gray Ops internal weight kit, and MPA barricade stop. $750+ Travel. PayPal, Venmo accepted.

Bullet stabilization issues? .300 Norma Mag

Hi,

After solving my "super weird issues" which were due to bad primers, I have a new problem with my .300 Norma Mag reloads... my groups are very bad (between 1.7 and 2.7 MOA at 109 yards/100m) and it seems that literally all bullets land sideways on the paper target:

Here's my reloading recipe:
  • Neck-turned Lapua Brass, trim to length 2.482in, neck OD 0.3355in for a loaded round at OD 0.3375in
  • Hornady A-Tip 250 grs, tried bullet jumps from 0.020in to 0.065in
  • RWS LRM primers
  • Vihtavuori N570 powder (77.9 grains) -- it seems low compared to some guys here on the forum but I'm already above Vihtavuori official max which is at 76.1 grains

I shot twice 15 bullets (plus like 3-5 fouler shots at the beginning):
  • String one (15 shots):
    • Average: 2703 fps
    • Std dev: 9.8 fps
    • Extreme Spread: 34.8 fps
  • String two (15 shots):
    • Average: 2703 fps (same as string one)
    • Std dev: 8.2 fps
    • Extreme Spread: 30.2 fps
I'm shooting with a silencer, but concentricity looks good:

And my barrel is a 26" 1:10 twist.

While my velocities aren't the best, they aren't terrible either, they're pretty stable... I really don't understand what's causing this.

I tried factory 230 grainers from Norma ("match grade" ammo) and it gave better groups (all holes touching at 109 yards), although I couldn't go to the target to check how they landed.

In your experience, what could cause this?

Optics WTS Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-25 Double Turn MOA Turrets MOA P4F FFP Reticle

I am selling this Schmidt Bender PMII 5-25 rifle scopes. It has Double Turn MOA Turrets and the MOA P4F FFP reticle.

In February 2025 this scope was sent to S&B for overhaul and to have CCW turrets installed, so internals and functions are like new. It has not been mounted or shot since overhaul. Originally it had clockwise turrets. S&B paperwork is shown and a copy will be provided to new owner. If you are looking at this scope you know it's value.



Scope serial number 371698 is the scope in great condition. Glass is near new. There is a minor scratch on the objective bell as pictured and there may be marks on various dials but everything operates like new condition smooth since turrets were overhauled by S&B. See pictures below. I am asking $2300 $2200 $2100 OBO for scope 371698. Venmo or Paypal FF or pay the Paypal fee.

If you want a specific picture of anything just PM me. I can usually ship within a day or two after payment is received.


**SOLD** Scope serial number 360189 was wrapped with self sticky camo wrap and upon removal it discolored the black finish slightly. I spoke with S&B about it they said its nothing to worry about. The objective glass looks like it has a couple of tiny dots on it. I did a basic clean but I did not want to scratch the glass, so I left it alone. As you can imagine these dots can not be seen while looking through the scope and the image appears perfect as expected with S&B glass. There may be marks on various dials but everything operates like new condition smooth. see pictures below. I am asking $2100 $1950 OBO for scope 360189 Scope 360189 was sold.
