    Rifle Scopes Leupold 6-18x mil-dot... but a 14x mil-dot reticle

    Re: Leupold 6-18x mil-dot... but a 14x mil-dot reticle Ok, so is it a fluke then that Sierra V6 would spit out a spot-on mil hold over chart for my load that would work without correcting for the SFP reticle? Similarly, the 18/14 correction make the mils in my scope bigger at distance, i.e...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 6-18x mil-dot... but a 14x mil-dot reticle

    Ok my peeps... school me a little... Here is the story: Got a deal on a Leupold 6-18x Mark 2 Mil-dot scope. Bright and sharp image, I like it just fine. Was ranging with it at know distances to test my estimation accuracy and got some wild numbers... figured it out after a phone call to...

    Rifle Scopes Mirage, Sun and Wind...

    Re: Mirage, Sun and Wind... Thanks for the replies. This should at least give me a baseline to experiment with so I am not burning ammo just trying to get a handle on the properties of MSW.

    Rifle Scopes Mirage, Sun and Wind...

    How exactly is mirage compensated for in terms of static (vertical) mirage and mirage driven by wind? (which way does the target "appear" to move) And, is the position of the sun in relation to the shooter related in any way to mirage? How does POI change with the position of the sun? Thanks

    Varget for AR-15 .223/5.56

    Re: Varget for AR-15 .223/5.56 I use 26.0g varget with Montana Gold 55gr FMJ for 3000FPS out of my 20" AR. Works great. A friend uses Ramshot TAC for a very similar load. The TAC meters better through Dillon b/c it is a ball powder. Also has slightly less flash at night than Varget...

    Does bullet jump vary from bullet to bullet?

    I dialed in a load for my 7mm with a 162g A-Max that likes either a 0.030" or 0.060" jump to the lands. Both of the jumps are equal on paper to the best that I can shoot and are marginally better than seating to the lands (gently touching). I have chosen the 0.060" jump. My question is: Now...

    Bullet Jump & bullet to case concentricity...

    I have a question... Is bullet to case (as loaded) concentricity more, less or of the same importance when not seating bullet to the lands? In my testing of loads for my 7mmRemMag, I found that seating to the lands, 0.030" jump and 0.060" jump all seem the same in terms of accuracy. When...

    Reloader 25 Temperature Sensitivity (???)

    Reloader 25 Temperature Sensitivity (???)

    Re: Reloader 25 Temperature Sensitivity (???) I suppose it could be. What would that effect. One other thing I should mention is that I have a brake on it, so there should not be much gas reaching the screens. You have me wondering now, I will look in my CED manual.
