    Verified Magnetospeed Precision Change

    I like your solution! May have to figure out how to replicate it with my setup.

    Verified Magnetospeed Precision Change

    I agree that I wish I had a tube or extended side rail. Right now I am running with an XLR Element and may have to look at how I could rig up something depending on what people are seeing with their group sizes and the Magnetospeed attached.

    Verified Magnetospeed Precision Change

    What I like about the magnetospeed is seeing the SD of velocity and making generalization if that has attributed to the group size. During load development, I don't pay much attention to the POI shift since I will zero the rifle once I have the load picked out. I am only concerned with it's...

    Verified Magnetospeed Precision Change

    I am currently doing some load testing and I am wondering if anyone has tested the difference in precision between having a Magnetospeed attached and not. I understand the theory is that any addition to the end of the barrel will cause a change to the barrel harmonics however is the change even...

    ARC Mags

    I was so excited for these and this was not what I wanted to hear.

    Rifle Scopes Primary Arms?

    I had their 4-14 before and it was decent for the money. I could not see my 308 bullet holes clearly at 300 yards so I had to upgrade however it was a good starter scope for me.

    175 RDF vs 178 ELD-M

    Interested in what people say about 2000MR. I have heard some people trying out 8280 XBR out of shorter barrel but that is just hearsay.

    Loads 178 BTHP vs 178 ELD-M vs 175 RDF

    I haven't been able to get to the range yet. Hopefully in a couple of weeks then I can report back what I find. I am thinking do doing OCW and working forward from there.

    Stupid varget 308 question...

    I am at 43.9 with 2640 out of a 22" Savage 10. I think there is probably a higher node but not interested in running it that hard.

    Loads 178 BTHP vs 178 ELD-M vs 175 RDF

    I have seen a number of recipes that have 44 to 44.2 with Varget but on really hot days, I am a little worried that it is a pretty stout load.

    Bought a Savage for a build... Second guessing myself.

    I would also have to agree with this. An XLR chassis is a great choice. I have my Savage 10 in one and have been completely happy. I can get 1 MOA with handloads out of a factory 308 and will put on a CBI or XCaliber 6.5 Creedmore by the end of the year. While I burn out my 308, I have gotten a...

    Loads 178 BTHP vs 178 ELD-M vs 175 RDF

    That is exactly what I was looking for and hoping for!

    Loads 178 BTHP vs 178 ELD-M vs 175 RDF

    I am shooting them out of a 22" Savage bolt. Sounds like 178 Amax, bthp, and ELD are swappable. For your RDFs, were you using the same brass and primer as you 178 Amax, bthp, and ELDs? Seems like quite a little jump for 178 in 42.5g to RDF 43.1. Thanks for the info!

    Loads 178 BTHP vs 178 ELD-M vs 175 RDF

    I am currently shooting Hornady 178 BTHP with 43.9 grains of Varget. However, I am moving to 178 ELD-M and 175 RDF. I will work up a load for each but I wanted to see how other peoples load changed with Varget when moving from 178 BTHP to these new bullets.

    Bipod hop left (yes this tired old shit)

    If you are shooting off of concrete a lot, I have found that putting the bipod on a non-slip doormat has done wonders.
