    6.5 Grendel

    So 2569's kind fast for that bullet? I didn't know lol. I'll watch out for that. There were no pressure signs on the brass thus far. We also shot some cfe under some 120's and these berger 130's but there were fliers. We're definitely going to retry the 30.9 of cfe w/ 120gr lapua scenars...

    MOA and Milrad Turret Calculations

    Yea, a lot of my friends spotters have no reticle in them. A lot of my friends have mil scopes, and want me to go shooting with them. Then we find out their shit's not even zeroed. It seems that when everyone on this forum goes out to shoot, they have alllllll KINDS of nice custom made set...

    MOA and Milrad Turret Calculations

    I don't use reticles for adjustment when zeroing. I can look at the distance it's off, (my eyes see inches not centimeters) do the math on paper to get the exact (not estimate, because ammos really expensive) amount of clicks, then add that to the turret.

    MOA and Milrad Turret Calculations

    My question is this-you're for whatever reason wanting to move your shot group over a specified amount. You look through your spotter (closer view) and you see it's about 'this far' over. Do you know that distance in centimeters? Just by seeing it with your eyes?

    Powder through dies - do you use them?

    I'm wanting all my ammo to be precise these days. I have an autotrickler on order, so the measure will be decent, i guess it's just the possibility of the powder sticking to the walls of the die that could be the only hazard; is that possible?

    MOA and Milrad Turret Calculations

    Not long or unnecessary whatsoever. (i see most people here don't read books lol. if you think this is long, you didnt go to college did you? lol) We all learned in 4th grade that just using a calculator to do every problem before you understand the math/mechanics of the solution is bad. You...

    Powder through dies - do you use them?

    How do you put your powder in your cases? One at a time with a funnel when they're all set up in the tray? Or do you use a powder through die? Any disadvantages of using these dies? I was interested in using one but I'm not sure if they suck or not.

    6.5 Grendel

    Lol, all good points. Well at least I know at 100 yards, a crap es of 121 can still print a decent group lol. Past that, I'm not sure. I have more reloading equipment coming and will find out here soon.

    6.5 Grendel

    My buddy helped me work up a load ladder (only 3 rounds of each as we're short components right now) and the SD was 53.51 between the three.

    6.5 Grendel

    I agree, you are correct. I guess what I'm asking is, is that normal? I was always under the assumption that really nice groups are usually from really tight ES's (providing of course the shooter is consistent in their fundamentals on the gun) If you would have told me a really tight group...

    6.5 Grendel

    Not sure where to post this so I'll ask it here. Just got into reloading (6.5 grendel) and I had a few questions. Got some good groups, with with some so-so Es's, (in the 20's) but my tightest group (.156 at 100) was with a horrendous 121 ES. I know 100 yds is close, but is that typical...

    Any experience with Douglas barrels?

    No, wrong assumption 'poorboyr', I've already sent the action in for a barrel. I was just ASKING if anyone has ever run into that problem in the past...

    Any experience with Douglas barrels?

    I hear you can get hard spots in carbon steel and that can mess up the button when it's being pulled through.

    Any experience with Douglas barrels?

    Sounds good; is there any down side to going chromoly in terms of group consistency?

    Any experience with Douglas barrels?

    I'm assuming not as they have doing it for quite a while; though, why is everyone paying 4-5 times as much for sub half minute groups, when the guys post above these says he gets sub half moa groups? I'm confused.
