    gadgetman liked post by Puffin On thread : Good Quality Muzzle Threading
    Mitch Maxberry did the most spectacular job on my last barrel with a 14x1 for a T2. There is almost no off-axis movement after just 2 turns of engagement yet the barest thread contact friction...

    rossi.45 liked post by Puffin On thread : Adjusting MV and BC to match trajectory
    Checking the calibration of the scope dials can be done very accurately, so why not eliminate this variable completely? Something similar to the jig and measuring stick pictured in the thread...

    I have used a 1.5-5x20 Vari-X 3 continuously on the bush rifle for 25 years. 1.5x is great for quick target acquisition. Longer range, out at say 300m, is hampered somewhat in my view by the course...

    6x47 liked post by Puffin On thread : Forbes 280AI Load Development
    I would suggest that if intending to load the 162gr for 60kPSI peak or over - as seems to be the practice in the endless quest to equal 7mmRM performance - then 2213sc may be the limit for burn rate...
