    Berger 185gr Juggernaut testing

    I picked some of the Juggernauts up for load testing out of my DTA SRS. Although not as accurate as the 175gr VLD Hunters out of my rifle so far these aren't horrible and maybe with a little seating adjustment may actually work. The testing was done at 119 yards, with Varget powder, Federal...

    Concentrisity question

    Ok, just a simple question, is there any need to worry about perfect concentrisity (i.e. high end micrometer/body sleeve seating dies) when loading for a practical/tactical bolt gun being magazine fed? If you vote and want to share your opinion please do.

    Berger's VLD load testing

    I recently read Berger's article on VLD load testing and thought I'd give it a try. I started off touching the lands (2.950") and then subtracted .040" down to 2.830". Then I loaded the last group at the normal suggested OAL from a manual (2.800"). These are from once fired brass, prepped and...

    Rifle Scopes Finally time for an upgrade!

    Took a bunch of saving pennies but the time has finally came to upgrade my optic. I've narrowed it down to either a Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x50 in a DTA mount or a Vortex Razor 5-20x50 in a Sphur mount. I like the fact that the Razor is illuminated but that isn't a big drawback. Both are in the...

    Loading for a DTA .308

    Well I recently traded into a DTA SRS .308 with a 22" factory Krieger barrel. I've put some factory ammo through it just to check function and all is good. Now it's time to start working up a load. One question I have is concerning the OAL for the cartridge. I can set the OAL to 2.900" with...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Vari-X III LR-T

    Well I've had my Swarovski AV up for sale for quiet some time now and I finally let it go today. What I traded for isn't exactly what I was looking for but I thought it was a very nice scope with great looking glass. I actually had quiet a hard time finding any real information on this scope...

    Rifle Scopes Which budget 3-15x?

    This may have been discussed before but I searched as well as skimmed back through sever pages but didn't find anything. I'm wanting to get into a matching turret/reticle style scope to try my hand at long range shooting. The scope on my rifle tracks great and does a wonderful job but with...

    Adding weight to a Tikka T3

    I've been debating putting a muzzle brake on my T3 for a few weeks now. It's not that the .308 is a hard recoiling round but between the general light weight of the rifle and a bum shoulder it can begin to wear on me after a 100rds or so in a weekend. The trade off is a lot of extra noise will...

    Rifle Scopes Warne Tactical rings

    I had to have a new set of rings and had a set in stone budget of $100. I ran across the Warne Tactical series and thought I'd give them a try. They're an all steel ring and seemed to be of very good quality. I haven't heard much about these so I was wandering what you all thought. Any first...
