    Watches?

    They are very difficult to find. All sports models are in shortage. The green one you see in the picture was about ~$9500, they are being sold preowned at 15-18k currently. Go to a dealer and get your name on a waitlist. Black subs are a few months to a year. Other models like Daytona’s are...

    Watches?

    Well said. Although I understand people’s reservations on spending a lot on a watch, people can say the same thing about this hobby. The value of Rolex continues to sky rocket too, many of their offerings are worth more than double the MSRP on the used market. What kind of accuracy do you get...

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    I am currently at 240 rounds. (200 prior to my last range session, I had a box of Hornady ammo for some friends to shoot). The rifle is very accurate. I will push it a little hotter the next time I go out.

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    Yes I am. Are you? I will probably load up 41.5-43.0 with both neck tensions to compare. 3 of each neck tension at each charge.

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    The Labrador is not attached. Also it’s a 26” barrel not 22”. I figured 2700-2800 is where I can expect the velocity to be for a 26” barrel. Does that sound right?

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    3 and 12 were light loads. Roughly 2400 and 2500 FPS respectively. However 18 and 20 are also a bit higher than the rest and are in the 2700’s.

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    Hmm, I didn’t think of that. I am using a 1# jug. I guess I’ll order an 8# jug too. Also I only bought 100 pieces of Lapua brass. Would you recommend getting another 100? Or does the brass lot vary too? Thanks for the advice.

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    41.5-42.4 seems reasonable. Also, I used a 0.263 expander mandral on the new brass to give me the .001 neck tension. I have a Redding 0.289 bushing that I have not used yet. Thoughts on finding a load in that range. Then comparing with 0.001 vs 0.003 neck tension?

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    My goal was to find a max charge. So I started at the lowest recommended charge and worked my way up 1 shot at a time. This was my first time loading any ammo, so admittedly I was a bit nervous pulling the trigger the first time haha. I could have done 3 shot groups, but I felt like I would...

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    I am new to this so forgive me if I use the wrong verbiage. But, I’ve read about methods of shooting a single shot with varying charges to try to identify nodes by looking for similar velocities between different charges. For example, my 1st and 2nd shot were about 5 FPS apart, my 11th and 12th...

    First time shooting my own loaded ammo/Report... more advice needed

    I recently posted regarding load development for sako trg 6.5cm. I started at the lowest recommended 36.7 gr and loaded up to 42.4 in 0.3 increments (20 rounds). I finally got out to the range today and had some interesting/surprising results: 1. The velocities ranged from 2385-2747 fps and...

    Ready for first Load! last second questions

    I've been working on gathering as much information as possible over the last couple months in preparation of my first load of 6.5 CM. I am now ready to start my load development but have a couple last questions on where to start: 1. My rifles is very accurate even with factory ammo. I regularly...

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    Any recommendations for a case? Ive been looking for a nice hard case for my trg 22 but cant really decide what i want. Any suggestions?

    Range time with my Sako TRG

    Yeah that's what I've heard from most people who own them. I still think there's some room for improvement. I was shooting of a concrete bench with a Harris bipod that doesn't really fit the rifle. I would like to see the results after adjusting the trigger, switching the bipod and shooting in...

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    Unfortunately I don't have a way to measure it. It feels like it's about 2.5-2.75. A little bit heavier than my Timney trigger in my Remington and my sako 85 trigger.
