Good to hear, so I’m good then, thanks

My impression is that 6.5x47 shares the same as the 308, but can’t find any info and its not on Dillon list of calibers, even the 6.5CM is not on the list, although there is group of 6.5s ( 284 and 55)

Hi already have the conversion for 223 snd 308, what shell plate and buttons do I need for 6.5x47 Lapua, , would prefer to use the Lee Auto Drum for powder measure, want to rebarrel my existing 308, or if can save some cash this summer might get another Defiance action. Tried looking at Dillon site, can’t seem to find some info. Thanks

Thanks for the video, yes it was very helpful

Hi, how do you ghost load the Pro??, and secondly this one sound funny though, when unloading the rounds from the tube manually that is not cycling bolt , occasionally after I manage to release one round from the mag a second shell would follow and the lifter moves on down position which looks like a ghost load, now I have to cycle the bolt to chamber and eject the shell. Although haven’t experienced this while loading, there must be something else here. Heard from other PRO owners that their SG are ghost loading accidentally. Not on my case yet , hopefully not, thanks

Thanks, I guess the best way is to see it personally, I used to have the first gen and M2 with their slimmest pad and it works for me, wondering how it compares with the M2 SP, I can go between the SG, my concern is more on the LOP, unfortunately the 1301 gen2 is nowhere to be found or very rare here in Canada

Which type Microcore pad does the Pro comes with and thickness , noticed in the Beretta they have 2, the comp and field and .39”-1.3”, It looks like that the factory pad is a little bit over my desired LOP, maybe a .3-.5 less is much better

Thanks, will do more research before going to the dealer, trying to avoid seeing the SG in person, a little bit compulsive buyer here, lol, thanks again

Pretty close to my desired LOP, the pad I presume is the slimmest?,

Hope not too late to join the thread , a little bit concern of the LOP of the Comp PRo especially it is equipped with the A400 stock, I can only used LOP of 13” and max 13.5.” Thanks

Will adding a baffle helps?

Hornadys manual for 168gr starts 36.3 and max 46.1 VV doesn’t have published load for the Hornadys 168, instead they have Sierras 168gr 38.6- 44.5 Berger 168gr 39.5-42.8 I started with 42.5, 43.0, 43.5 grs- this load produced the better accuracy. these was shot from a Tikka T3X Varmint 20”, Coal 2.800“, will try 2.810” if it fit in the mags. belus thanks for the feedback

Gentlemen, loading now 308 using this combo N150 and Hornady 168 on 550would , would you consider plus/minus .1 gr of powder drop a big inconsistency?, and about N150, with 44grs the powder is already on the neck level, is this normal, ? this is my first attempt to load 308, was limited with 223 before. so I back out my load to 42.grs pretty in the mid

Hi its a 223 Rem with 24” Heavy Stainless 1:8 bbl, Tried different bullet weight from 55, 62, 68 and 75 grains, factory rounds to handloads, all ammo will group sub moa, however the 55gr will group 3” right away from the POI from the other bullet weights, elevation is in line with other weights , still grouping sub moa though, any thoughts? Thanks

Btw, powder funnel that comes from dillon conversion kit r?, or the Redding comes with their own powder funnel?

Hi want to start loading for 308, for versatility of powders I want try the Redding Match BR Powder Measure, Dillon has an Adapter for this setup, so aside from the Adapter and 450 Powder Die which is needed, what else do I need?, same powder funnel that comes with the conversion kit?. thanks

When adjusting Eye Relief of your scope do you fo it in Prone Position or Benched ? Something that’s applicable to all possible positions , thanks

Good Day A beginner questions here, my experience is limited to AR shooting mostly 3 Gun and IPSC, I usually have a different setting when shooting unsupported and shooting prone, usually I moved the stock longer by one notch up to get the best eye relief on prone position. I am in the process of learning / joining long range and precision shooting with a Tikka T3X Varmint bolt action, got the scope ( 4-18x44) and planning to order the MDT chassis . MDT Chassis has the option for the stock preference, fix or carbine using buffer tube and stock ( AR type) which I think can allow me to adjust the length fast without loosening some knobs, but I find the stock has more wobble and the check placement are not adjustable. I like to divide my practice shooting bench and prone in one session. Will setting my Eye Relief in prone position covers the bench shooting. your recommendations and experience will be a big help,

Thanks for your replies, trying to get as much opinions

So different magnification has different side focus settings? Is It okay if I set the side focus at 200 yards and my 100 yards will be parallax free?

When setting the side focus for the Parallax, is it necessary to go to the highest magnification, , let 100 yards with 18.5 mag, or I can go 10-12 mag at 100 yards, thanks

I chose the JP 308 SCS for my 308 build, want to play around with the spring, have the JP 308 springs and 223 JP Springs, can I use the 100% 223 springs for 308, JP doesn't states the spring rates only percentage and only according to specific caliber. And anybody know the spring rates of their springs regardless of caliber. Thanks Pls include the spring rates for their 9mm SCS, also have one for my PCC.

Thanks again

Thanks, any specific type of stone, I’m not that good with smithing, haven’t done before
