[@JimFleming1953]

Well done thomas! I love the new format and the fact that you're actually tutoring us. I enjoy your sense of humor, thank you very much sir. Until next time

[@THLR]

Thanks a lot Jim, appreciate having you on the channel and in the comments all these years! Good luck with your summer, first sunny day here and morbidly pale legs are exposed. Not walking in public, though. In no hurry to shed dignity.

I have been a handloader for over 30 years. My rifles have very few factory rounds through them. Last season I bought some Federal Gold Medal Match ammunition and it made me think twice about loading my own. Excellent consistency. Mastering the wind call is a true skill.

[@THLR]

I believe factory ammunition have come a long way with improvement in processes and tolerances. I was never abel to beat the precision of my factory 6 XC match ammo. I now only reload for a few hunting rounds and stick to the cheapest match cartridges.

[@stefan4422]

Hi Thomas, what is the price for the Lapua Scenar ammunition in Norway? In Germany the price is 2,00 Euro for each round. So I thought hand loading would save money if you shoot that much.

[@toreklette2284]

@@stefan4422 you can get the Scenar down too about 1 Euro here in Norway.👍

[@steffenschmidt5339]

Utrolig god og informativ film, på hvilken afstand begynder du at korrigere for Wind drift.

[@THLR]

Takk for det Steffen. Det kommer an på kaliberet og kulen. Med min 221 Fireball og rypejakten må jeg virkelig ta hensyn til vinden allerede på 100 meter. Med 6.5mm og mer strømlinjeformede kuler som flyr vesentlig bedre i vinden er det først forbi 250m. Men mellom ca 200-500m kan du klare deg med svært enkle teknikker såfremt du bruker en ok kule. Det er først 6-7-800 at du må starte med presis vindbedømming.

[@stefanomalinverni9431]

I would likes to visit that range.

[@THLR]

Much better ranges 24 hours south of me (outside Stavanger) or even in Denmark. Will save you euro 500 travel expenses.

[@_SWLW]

Hei! Knallbra video som alltid :) Du var innom temaet 6.5CM og 6.5 PRC i kommentarfeltet under live i går. Ser du noen grunn til å velge 6.5CM eller 6.5PRC. Fremfor 6.5x55 for allround jakt og alt fra rev til elg i Norge? Tenker da også på hva som er lurt å velge i dag, med tanke på blyfrie alternativer i fremtiden.

[@THLR]

Hvis du bare skal ha ett eneste kaliber vil jeg si nei. Min mentale øvelse er å kalkulere 3000 treningsskudd, se prisforskjellen og spørre meg selv om jeg har råd til å kaste bort de pengene på trening. Så i Norge er det jo 308 og 6,5x55 som blir suverent best på pris. 6,5 Creedmoor og 6,5x55 ser jeg på som likeverdige mtp skyteegenskaper, men den ene koster ommtrent halvparten av den andre. Jeg har bestilt en 6,5 PRC pipe, ganske enkelt fordi jeg holder logistikken så enkel som mulig ved å sentrere rundt 6,5mm kuler og omtrent samme krutt. Med kobber vil jeg gjerne ha en litt høyere utgangshastighet for å sikre ekspansjon, spesielt ved treff i lunger. Med x55 har jeg ca 850 msek med 120gr og ser helst at denne ligger høyere med kobber. Mine skotske yrkesjeger-kompiser melder om merkbar forskjell i sine 270 med hhv 110gr og 130gr kuler på slike skudd (lettere er bedre). Hvis ikke 6,5mm hadde nok en 270 gjort samme jobben med kobberkuler om man skal se på utvalget av fabrikkammunisjon selv om en 308 med 130gr kobber nok er like kurant på norske butikkhyller. Men PRC er et ikke-kaliber om du skal ha en til alt; trening og jakt, til det blir kostnad for høy og pipens levetid for kort.

[@_SWLW]

@@THLRTusen takk for et fantastisk bra og utfyllende svar! Dette er til stor hjelp for meg og hjelper meg med å moderere lysten på en 6.5 PRC ved å veie den opp mot kostnad! Takk for innsatsen du legger inn i videoer, svar på kommenterer og kreativiteten rundt det hele. Det er rett og slett enestående innsats fra din side!

[@_SWLW]

@@THLRBle en Blaser R8 ultimate i 6.5x55 og et lass Lapua scenar på meg etter samtalen her. Beholder sauer 404en i 308 for blyfri jakt på elgen med Barnes ttsx og Blaser i 6.5x55 til alt annet av jakt. Dette blir morro! Og igjen tusen takk for hjelpen, selv om det ble en dyr fornøyelse! Synes ikke 404en er i nærheten av å returnere til samme nullpunkt etter å ha demontert og montert den, uansett hvor konsekvent og nøye jeg gjør alt… Blaser virker helt overlegen her så langt. God helg og takk for innsatsen du legger i kanalen!

I am about to buy a new scope - where do you buy your turret labels? My last ones were from custom turret systems - is there anything else, maybe from Europe? And where do you get the label for the top of the elevation turret?

Top label is laser engraved by a local workshop, for labels try this. I have never used them and cannot comment on quality turretlabels.com/?fbclid=IwAR0wjSiamHnNLsM4PuibzPr3XY3_QubXwq1j3UWhr33X8cMKHHwETh3TJho
