   Greetings, I borrowed an early Chrony in the late 1980's. I came home one day to find my son had it set up in the Garage using a couple of bed head lights and had chronographed his rubber band gun....

   Greetings NIMROD and all, There was an earlier club in Napier in the 1970's called the Black Stag Club. I remember a derelict hut in the Ruahines, downstream of Awatere Hut called the Black Stag Hut...

   Another thought, If your scope is a second focal plane unit then your calculated drops will only be accurate for one power so if you are a power ring twirler you have another problem. If you can...

   Greetings Kimber 7mm_08, I set up my Tikka T3 Lite with a Leupold 6x36 scope with the long range duplex a few years ago with the idea of it being an open country rifle. A load was worked up that...

   Greetings @MB, To a point yes. This is what I do in reverse to get a base zero for 300 and 600 yards on my 200 metre range. Based on the chronographed velocities I calculate the trajectory at 200...

   timattalon liked post by grandpamac On thread : What powder for 6.5x55?

   Greetings Rated M for Magnum. You may find it easier to work up to a velocity rather than just adding powder and looking for pressure signs. The 6.5x55 has around 5% more powder capacity than the...

   Greetings, I found AR2209 worked well in my 6.5x55 T3 Lite with the 129 grain SST. There are a couple of cautions though. Current production AR2209 is faster than that produced 20 or so years ago...

   Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : 7x64 reload

   Greetings @ chainsaw, No criticism just my clumsy phrasing. The 7x64 is loaded to a higher pressure than the .280 Rem and the faster twist allows heavier projectiles. I see that the .270 is now...
