    Blown Primers

    I've been loading .223 for several years using 77 gr SMK, 8208, and Starline brass. I can't currently get the powder or brass and am trying Norma brass and AR-Comp. My initial trial load resulted in pressure signs and a few blown primers. I had last loaded some 55 gr loads and forgot to...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR 5-25 or 7-35

    I wouldn't choose a scope power based on mirage. I've had to turn down my 20X because of mirage. Regarding you second post, 6.5 will be fine for 1000. Dial for range, hold for wind.
