    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    With that configuration it should weigh under 11lbs. Is it beating you up? Do you have a flinch when you dry fire? Spike footed bipod? Are the bipod legs slightly loaded? You might tape or strap a pad to the EH1 butt stock. A wide spiked footed bipod can do wonders on a lightweight magnum.

    Well that should shoot, I’m assuming it’s bedded. The barrel likely has some more speeding up to do. Are you shooting prone? I wouldn’t be working too hard to develop a load until the barrel sped up and settled down.

    Speed averages on small sample sizes can only be taken for what they are. Likewise three round groups also represent small sample sizes. What are the rifle and optic details and round count on bbl?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 - Initial Thoughts

    At 26oz. Leupold’s Mark 5 is also sort of in a class unto itself, but with an oddball 35mm main tube. The Mark 5’s non-Christmas tree reticle selection is limited to Leupold’s TMR, a reticle I really don’t get—at all. The TMR looks like a series of compromises made in a design workshop held...

    How often do you clean while at the range?

    When I’m working up loads, I do the following: At the end of the forend, put the hot barrel between your middle and ring fingers up against the tender flesh that makes up the web. If the barrel is too hot to keep it there, it’s too hot to keep shooting. This is conservative, but allows...

    How often do you clean while at the range?

    As long as you’re not shooting an excessively overbore chambering prone to developing carbon rings in the throat—the consensus on cleaning regimens span a few hundred rounds to never.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50 - Initial Thoughts

    I can’t think of anything else in the lightweight (28.3oz), compact, ultra robust (assuming the NX8 is on par with the NXS and ATACR series in terms of sheer mechanical reliability), in the vicinity of this mag range, at any price point that compares. This doesn’t even factor in the quality of...

    Ultimately, velocity doesn’t matter as long as all the bullets go to the same place out to your maximum intended hunting range. If you’re set on the plan above, load 10 @ 77 and .020 jump. Fire 5 with the MS mounted on the barrel and and 5 without. Do this at 100 or 200, each 5 round string at...

    Help: First Ladder Test...now what?

    The problem with using a MagnetoSpeed is that you really can’t look at velocity and groups at the same time. You’re only able to get data on one or the other. Last year, I chased my tail doing load work up for a 28 Nosler using a MS. The MS not only affected POI, but group size. This...
