long range precision sights

[mr.big]

finally got everything in house to assemble what may well be the most fun to shoot rifle I have had,,

rifle is a Rem 700 PSS action
Bartlien 5R HV 27 inch 8 twist 6.5x47 Lapua
AICS 1.5 chassis with 5 and 10 round mags
Atlas spigot mount bipod
Anschutz handstop and sling
Champions Choice adjustable height rear sight base
Premier PNW 1/4 moa click rear sight with Gehmann 510 .5-3.0mm adjustable aperture
Mo`s adjustable height front sight base with Gehmann 4.0-6.0mm adjustable aperture and 0.5 dipoter lens

when I get my dope confirmed I should be able to zero from 25 yards to infinity with the sights and ability to switch to a pre-zeroed optic sight with a 4mm alen wrench and 14mm box end wrench or just a pair of pliers,,

gonna try it out late this evening when it cools off a little,,

BTW,,shooting 130 VLDs and H4350 at 2975 fps

Your eyesight never fails to amaze me.

I cannot SEE 1000 yards.

Just being nosey, whats the powder charge? You lighting it off with mag primer?

That 130 grain, that max bullet weight?

 

[mr.big]

CCI450 primers,,it is max load of H4350 42 grs I think I would have to look,,,it will shoot 140 gr Hybirds at 2800 but the 130 VLD is more accurate in this rifle,,it is like a 260 Lite,,maybe 75fps slower than a 260,,pretty much identical to 6.5 CM
I cant see well either,,but really all you have to do is center the blurry blob in the center of front sight and squeeze it off,,

Amazing. I am so jealous haha

Thanks for the info.

If I don't find some Federal 215M primers pretty soon I am going to run out. I have noticed you favor the CCI brand and was wondering if you have any thoughts on the quality and reliability of them. I have never had a 210M or 215M fail to ignite.

I have never had any primer not go off,,I like the 450s in these rounds with a 308 boltface and the small primer pocket as they seem to handle more pressure and shoot very well with H4350 powder,,in my loads with Varget and RL15 I get better results with WW WSR primers,,in my 308 loads CCI 200 primers work very well,

I used to shoot Fed primers exclusively but supply is so shaky that I have worked loads with different primers that are just as good,,
