Now that is great info! Thank you all!

I need a chrony to get accurate muzzle velocity. My ballistics software plugged in 2800 fps for the load I am using and I think it may be faster than that. @ 2800 I am supposed to dial 39moa to reach 1000

I'm still learning.. Which powder & bullet did u use? I am using 168 gr Sierra match kings.. Never actually shot out to 1000.. Not alot of opportunity for that range here in Florida.. I used to live in Michigan on 20 acres, boy did I take that for granted.

Thanks for the replies all! I think I'm going to go with 20 or 25 moa then adjust my point of aim downward by the same amount of moa.

I think I'm just going to count how many clicks I have until I hit the bottom of my adjustment range, divide by 4, and minus 5 moa so that I can zero closer than 100yrds.

Spare Elevation Just seems like I have alot of spare elevation at the bottom of my adjustment range.. Guess this question would be more valid if I actually had enough magnification to see clearly at 1000 yards.. I wonder if 9x is enough to hit a target at 1000 yrds. Hmm.. Maybe I'll get another...

Forgot Info BTW, I am shooting 30-06 165gr with 4350 and/or 4064. I have 256 clicks of elevation @ 1/4 moa per click.

Ok guys. I used to know more about this but i think I may be a little rusty. I have a Zeiss 3-9x40 which my rifle is zeroed @ 100yrds. My scope has an adjustment range of 64in/100 yards. My sight height is about 1.7 inches. Currently, my scope has a cant of 0 moa. I think I'm approx in the...

Thanks man! Good info. Just what I wanted to hear. I actually a new Reloader and have made plenty of ammo. My gun does shoot nice and accurate. I bought it used. They said it was a sherrifs gun. It does have Bo mar adjustable sights and a custom trigger. As far as any other mods I just...

Ok so I have read that your barrel should be tight in your Bushing at both ends of your slide. My current Bushing is tight when the Bushing is at the muzzle, however, when I lock the slide back, I noticed a lil movement of the barrel in the Bushing. So I ordered a prefit match Bushing from...

I'm loading for 30-06. I've also herd that Hodgedon extreme powders are best too. I have H4350 and Reloader 19. Thinking of trying 4064 and 4895 next. Oh and maybe reloader 17 & 22. Maybe I'll just buy H varget since it is close to 4064 burn rate. Does anybody know where they get those...

I want to buy 4064. Hodgedon doesn't make 4064 I guess so I added IMR 4064 to my cart.. Then I notices accurate arms has 4064.. Then I read in Long Range Hunting Magazine in an article on precision Reloading for long range hunting. Quote "Avoid old tech extruded and ball powders. IMR and...

I want an AR in 308 or 338. I've been looking at the dpms lr308 and the les Baer 308. I don't wanna spend over 2000. I would like to pay around 1200 base model and then add on from there. I want an accurate rifle! I would buy bushmaster but I don't think they chamber for 308. The colt AR...

Wow thanx for all the great advice guys.. How do I set my die to partial full length size? I don't get it. As for the annealing part, I don't need to anneal yet but, I'm the type of guy who likes to learn and acquire things before they are actually needed, so that I will be prepared for when I...

I am thinking about buyin the dies for neck sizing.. Looking at redding type S bushing type die and redding body die. My question is, might be a stupid one, but, how do I get the diameter of the bushing that I need for the die? Fireform, then use mic and measure neck diameter? I have factory...
