    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    This thread is getting a bit long so I have quoted myself so you can linked back to my first set of pictures in this thread if you are curious. My take home point here is that I am no longer blaming the Factory ammo for my pressure signs. When it comes to pressure I trust the ammo in my rifle...

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    I just may take you up on that. I'll put an order in for the nut wrench so that I'll have it on hand in case It comes to that. Thanks Frank!

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    I was one of the guys commenting on pressure sighns with the 140A-MAX in a new savage 12 LRP. I contacted Hornady and was told that Savage makes their barrels on the tight side of SAMMI specs and that it doesn't take much fouling to cause pressure spikes. They asked that I slug my barrel and...

    Thanks Frank, I'll give it a try before I blame the ammo.

    Range Report The Hornady 140 amax ammo. The OLD VS THE NEW

    Frank, Yep, that was my break in run and I haven't run anything else through it yet. When my dies come in I'll be sticking with reloads.

    I was breaking in my new Savage12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor with three boxes of 140 gr A-Max all lot number 3133158 ordered from MidwayUSA a couple weeks ago. Out of the 50 rounds I shot I had 3 blown primers and many had ejector marks. 26" factory barrel Temp estimated: 70 F MV in fps Mean 2868...

    Bullet weight variation

    It's good to hear that this is what others are seeing. I don't yet know how much this affects things but I have to find out for myself, at least once. My tests will be at 300 yards, and from what others say, I won't notice a difference at that distance. I'll try it again when I get to a range...

    Bullet weight variation

    I just sorted my 175 gr SMK HPBT in 30cal. Part number 2275. I used a RCBS Charge Master 1500 that weighs to the tenth of a grain. The Charge Master was calibrated and confirmed with check weights. These bullets came from two different boxes. I had used a few bullets from each box and...

    Training Courses M.O.A. and U.S.O: Long Range Gunfighter Mar. 28-30 Anza, CA

    It's a Steyr SSG 69 P1 with the original green stock and a vortex viper pst ffp 6-24x50 sitting on top. I'd be glad to hand it off for a second opinion but am pretty set on the Savage 12 in 6.5 Creedmoor at this point. I've got my local shop liking into getting one for me. He'll ya to this...

    Training Courses M.O.A. and U.S.O: Long Range Gunfighter Mar. 28-30 Anza, CA

    Looks like a fun class. If I can get my rifle ready by the class date then I may have to sign up. My Current rifle is a bit finicky at the moment. Quick question, looking at the class schedule I noticed that half of the last day was devoted to "teach-backs" for those interested. Can you...

    Don't get all paranoid...

    They can turn on your phone too. How funny is it that we all carry bugs around in our pockets that the government can turn on at any time and listen to us. Really though, most of us aren't that interesting.

    Rifle Scopes Any Vortex PST's in stock?

    Re: Any Vortex PST's in stock? I picked up the PST MRAD in 6-24 FFP from Midway 2 week ago. It was listed as Out of Stock but it was at my doorstep in about a week and a half.
