    The Nikon field scope is excellent and has a reasonable price. 80mm is rather heavy to be humping over the mountains.

    Haven't used the 22-250 for a while but I used to snipe rabbits in the dry Central Otago country up to 350 yards, using a 6-24x40 scope. It is a brilliant cartridge that deserves an accurate rig.

    The case necks may have hardened due to multiple firings, so they spring back more after going through the neck sizer. So, anneal a few and try the neck sizer again.

    GWH liked post by rupert On thread : Annealing, neck turning all that attention to neck tension and true Centering
    Another factor is case reforming - any significant shift in the brass will require annealing, maybe more than once. My first efforts at turning 308Win into 243Win cracked at the necks because I did...

    chainsaw liked post by rupert On thread : Bergara B14 rifle
    Fire-cracking - when the cartridge is fired in the barrel chamber a very hot flame follows the bullet down the barrel. The flame erodes the bore of the barrel. If you have a look with a bore-scope...
