    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    little surprise showed up Friday afternoon. Got it mounted and to the range today! I shot a 600 match with 6ARC, and then tested this bebe out to 1250! started at zero 100/200, then held reticle elevation out to 300, then used the base elevation adjustments to 45MOA to get to 1250 with my...

    Man, that's awesome - Way to hold with the bolts! I didn't fare so well today in the local 600 match. May have been my ammo/wind. I thought I grabbed my match ammo and it happened to be the slower BTs that may not have had the best vel. consistency - just plinking ammo. I got to anneal 250...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I got some hits on the 1250 plate for the first time today. I was shooting the Barnes 140 Matchburners at 2700. Strelock Pro had overestimated the elevation I would need for those rounds, but I'm sure it was more my fault for bad/missing input. I started at 100 and went to 1k, and confirmed my...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    Glass is here, but ivey base will be next week. I have a 600 match tomorrow so will be running the poverty pony. My range has 4x4 lg plates and 12"x12" center plates at each yardage so MOA references are somewhat not-difficult. for the scope, at 24x, the hashes are 1MOA and at 48x it is .5MOA...

    6.5 CM for mile - 123 Flatlines - load dev

    wow, thats legit, thx for sharing. My plinker/hunting loads are 143 ELDX @2550, but I only have a few of them left. I just saw that Valdada released a chassis system-drool. Just for fun my Ruger MKIV pistol upper came it yesterday. It is a full 16.5" long with pic rail over/under and a 4-12 BDC...

    6.5 CM for mile - 123 Flatlines - load dev

    I'm working up to 1760 yds. I've been shooting/reloading 6.5 for 5 years now, all on the RAP (poors yippie). I'm wondering which brass to use for the shot at a mile. I have a set of Starline 1X fired Lg primer and a set of NEW Starline Sm Primer on the way now. I would try others like pedersen...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    Sightron SIII 10-50 MOA-1 ordered and should be here next week. The Flatline Bullets showed up today. I spoke to my LR mentor and he said there are a couple better choices for 6.5 bullets but I cant remember the name of them ATM. But that is all based on his big bullets 33XC I think.

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    I have some FL123 bullets on the way now. it says backorder, but was shipped out fast. Their load data and RL16 or 26 is one of the fastest speeds and I think it can get a MV of 3000-3100 which should stay supersonic to around 1600 yds, I'm not sure if it will stretch super to the mile though...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    Yes, I get that most people like FFP scopes and I know why, I just like weird shit and different style of thinking. I also like to be told something can't or shouldn't be done and then trying it anyway to see how/why. For instance - I also have a penchant for fixed power scopes where most...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    I don't like how the FFP scopes cover the target on high zoom. I like seeing the bulletholes i'm aiming at - thus I prefer SFP. I will have dope cards for the distances that I shoot and they will include inches/MOA conversion at that distances/zoom. So for your example if someone told me 6MOA...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    yeah, that's why I was asking about mirage. I've had it happen some with another 20x scope but it was bearable most of the time actually. I may go more to the 32x but like you mentioned, I would like to use this as a spotter some too. My only optic above 24 right now is a spotting scope and I've...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    So in the meantime I'm going to research on work up some loads that will stay supersonic, and also other heavier ones that might be better for trans sonic. As far as the Scope goes I do prefer the Second Focal Plane scopes, but I have a question about mag and mirage. Shooting 1 mile what mag...

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    Sweet Zombie thread that was revived in May... I'll jump in this too... I will soon be attempting >1k with a 6.5. Just ordered an Ivey Base. In the meantime I'm going to do some prep dope estimations for 1250 (my ranges max) and hopefully mile with this rifle. I've shot 1k a few times with it...

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    Sweet, thanks for the feedback guys. I was a bit unsure at first, but they said they shipped around 300 units last years so something is going right. pics when it happens.

    Ivey Adjustable base with Sightron SIII 10-50 on 6.5 CM

    Just ordered an Ivey base, something I've been drooling over for years. Any thoughts opinions/experiences on the Ivey - please share. roast or toast IDC. My range has 1250 max, I have shot 1k there before, but never made it to the 1250 plate. 1 mile with my own equipment ammo is the eventual...

    Ivey Adjustable Base with Sightron SIII on 6.5 CM

    Mods - I just realized I posted this in the wrong sub forum. Please close this thread I started a new post in the ELR forum.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I'm sure you will not be disappointed with either. I debated about opening my CFE 223 for some more load dev but decided to trade it to a friend to help him out and I'm sticking with LL. I just have more load dev with LL and its more available. -post groups when you get em!

    Ivey Adjustable Base with Sightron SIII on 6.5 CM

    Any complication in the base would be negated by using holdovers instead of using dials on the scope - no? so that's a wash IMO. I'm looking for more magnification that the scopes you mentioned. I see more value in high mag paired with the adjustable base than limiting the base with 30x max...

    Ivey Adjustable Base with Sightron SIII on 6.5 CM

    Morning all, I just ordered an Ivey base, something I've been drooling over for years. I just converted a bunch of unopened pokemon cards from 99 into some scope money so the ELR thing is on. Any thoughts opinions/experiences on the Ivey - please share. roast or toast IDC. My range has 1250...
