    WTB Lyman Trim Express bushings 19 & 20

    #19 (PRC) and #20 (RUM) Lyman Trim Express bushings are nowhere to be found. Hoping someone has an extra of either/both I can buy. Thanks

    Let us know how they shoot, I was turned off by the low BC number they initially quoted me prior to release

    Quality brass

    Norma is ok but Nosler is generally a bit soft and subsequently has a bit shorter life compared to other brass in the same price range. Lapua, Petersen’s and ADG are superior to both in every way

    Added these with the 130SGC’s this fall. Just over 200yds on the muley and 527yds on the bull. Both pass throughs with shredded lungs.

    I will say the 130/6.5’s don’t seem as tough as the 120NBTs. But I’m sure FLS is talking about the average NBT and he’s right, on average they act a little tougher. The 284/120 & 30/180 are anomalies and not exactly representative of the NBT line.

    New Scope

    If you are wanting to twist turrets for longer ranges look at a Razor LHT or Zeiss V4. Need more information to really be able to help you

    7wsm??

    H4831 for temp stability and 160ABs for all that walks. The 162 has a better bc and will excel at longer ranges but is not as tough as the AB if larger critters are on the menu. The 175s generally need a 9 twist or faster so may not be fully stabilized depending on your tube.

    Vortex opinions

    I’ve used 10x42 Diamondbacks for the last 7 seasons and just picked up a pair of the 10x42 Vipers on a crazy good sale at Cabela’s. I’ve spent about an hour outside glassing from up close to 400+ yds and I can’t really tell a diff in optical quality and truth be told the Diamondbacks have a...

    Scope generally goes on top, skinny end gets loud when you pull the trigger.

    6.5 PRC

    Looking at a Mesa in 6.5PRC as well but heard the advertised weights were a little low and that were actually over 7lbs, not the case?

    Sierra GameChanger Bullets

    As promised, 130SGC via 260Rem. Impact speed around 2700fps, broke left shoulder on entry, scrambled lungs and left a quarter sized exit tight behind the right shoulder. Can’t ask for more.

    CDS custom dials at different elevations

    Get a simple and free ballistic calculator app on your phone and then you can check for yourself. Just to give you an idea at 500yds my 260Rem pushing .510 G1 BC drops just over 2” more at 1500’ than at 5000’.....so out to 500yds and in there is little to worry about.

    I’m curious if 120’s of the TGC design would stabilize in a 10 twist, would be fun out of my 257Roy. Most likely see a 110-115 if they produce a 25cal

    Sierra GameChanger Bullets

    Actually Gamechangers are MUCH cheaper than NBT’s, and additionally boast higher BC’s. Toughness is difficult to pinpoint with the NBT’s because some weights in each caliber are tougher than others. The 120/284 is one of my faves and I’ve killed over a dozen big game animals with them started...

    Ran the 130’s out of a 260 last fall. Didn’t carry the 260 much so it only accounted for three critters. 1st - doe antelope @ 370yds (quartering to) caliber entrance just in front of shoulder and golf ball sized exit third rib. Never twitched 2nd - doe antelope @ 200yds (broadside) caliber in...

    CDS custom dials at different powers

    If it says that they must be talking about using the reticle for holdovers. If your point of aim changes with magnification the scope is broken, period.

    CDS custom dials at different powers

    FFP/SFP reticle configurations have zero bearing in the original question. Magnification will have no effect on POA. Only time SFP compared to FFP would come into play is if the OP was using the windshield, and then obviously magnification of the SFP would matter. If magnification EVER...
