    Nick in crown/bore?

    I was cleaning my rifle and I noticed this mark on the end of the barrel. I can't tell if this is a nick or just where the rifling ends. Haven't noticed it before but also haven't cleaned it with the same lighting I have now. Any thoughts? It's a Sauer 100 with maybe 150 rounds though it. Only...

    Best adhesive for bonding pic rail to receiver?

    Any recommendations on the best adhesives for permanently bonding a picatinny rail to a rifle action? I've seen that Loctite 380 works great but I cant find any locally. I'd guess JB Weld would work fine. Anything else?

    Reloading Brass with Mixed Number of Firings

    I've got a batch of brass that has a mixed number of firings and it could be anywhere between 1-4. Will there be any noticeable accuracy differences between them? I don't anneal so I assume I can continue to reload until the neck splits, head separates or primer pocket becomes too loose...

    POI shift with 1 grain powder difference?

    Just curious what you have found your POI change has been when doing ladder tests in 0.5 or 1 grain increments. If all else is equal, does each shot with a different charge weight hit the same general area or can they be widely scattered?

    Leupold RX-1000i TBR settings

    Is there a way to use the TBR without having to select a ballistic group? My rifle/ammo combination isn't listed in one of their charts and I don't want my rangefinder compensating for the wrong setup. All I want is for my rangefinder to compensate for the angle and give me the true...

    Shot long range for the first time

    After always shooting a standard 3-10x duplex reticle scope and limiting myself to 350 yard shots I got a new rifle, Sauer 100 in 7mm Rem Mag and Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 scope. I messed with some handloads but wasn't getting the accuracy i was hoping for so I tried some 150 gr Barnes Vortex...

    Changing from Full Length to Shoulder Bump sizing

    I have been full length sizing my brass and have a good load worked up but I'd like to start just bumping the should back. Should I expect the same, worse, or better groups with the same load?

    Evaluate this 'group'

    I'm working up a new load for a new rifle. I loaded rounds at 64, 64.5,65, 65.5, & 66 grains. Shot the first at 64 and worked my way up looking for pressure signs and there none on any of them. I was surprised to see that the 64/65/66 grain charges all shot with each other. Does this tell me...

    How much powder over book max is unsafe?

    I'm going to be loading 160gr Accubonds with H1000 in my 7mm Rem Mag. The Hodgdon data shows 66 gr as being the max charge but I see many people are loading 70+ grains with the same setup. I dont want to short myself on speed so I'm thinking of loading a few rounds at 65gr, 66g, 67g, and so on...

    Norma Brass vs Norma Ammo

    Norma is typically regarded as some of the better brass to use for reloading. However, the factory loaded Norma Whitetail ammo is relatively inexpensive. Is it all the same quality, or are there different levels of brass that Norma puts out? Also, the thickness of the Norma brass at the neck...

    New Rifle-First Groups-Not Good

    I got a chance to take my new rifle to the range for the first time and the groups are....not great. Rifle: Sauer S100 in 7mm Rem Mag Scope: Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 Rings: Seekins Rail: Nightforce Ammo: Norma Whitetail 150 Gr. I personally installed everything and am 100% confident that all...

    New Sauer 100 Setup

    Just wanted to share my new setup. It's a Sauer 100 in 7mm Remington Mag with Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X56, Nightforce rail and Seekins rings. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but hope to make it out this weekend.

    Nightforce Scope not making contact with Seekins Rings

    I've tried mounting this new NXS scope in these new Seekins rings on two different rifles with two different rails. First was an EGW rail on a Weatherby Mark V, and now it's on a Nightforce rail on a Sauer 100 and in both cases it seems to be making minimal contact with the rings. You can see...

    Starting with 7mm Rem Mag, need suggestions

    I'm going to start loading for a new 7mm Rem Mag and I'm looking for a few recommendations. This will be an Elk/Deer/Bear/Antelope gun so temps will be 20-90 degrees. Looking for accuracy over speed, but I'm not opposed to both :) - What powder would you recommend for loading 160 gr...

    Nightforce NXS goes out of focus

    I have a brand new NXS 5.5-22x56 that goes out of focus as the power increases. When I have it on 5.5x everything is perfectly clear. As I increase power and look at objects around 150 yards it becomes more fuzzy but the closer objects (30 yards) stay in focus. I set the diopter according...
