Can this be used in a rifle bore to look for erosion in chamber? I am assuming the 5.5 mm would give a clear picture.

I have not tried this on my rifles, I don't see why it would not work for this, the only thing that might be an issue is the clarity of the picture and the intensity of the light that is built into the tip on the camera, I get a lot of light coming back into the camera when used up close to an object....A gun barrel might not have this problem. Overall this is a good camera and has done well for what I bought it for, good luck with your decision.

Haven't used mine to give you an honest answer on this one Mike, however, since buying mine and reading numerous comments about it I would encourage you to just take it to an establishment such as Scheels or Cabella's or any major sporting store and have them bore sight it for you. Most places will bore sight your rifle/scope combo if you have bought either of them from them at no cost to you. If per chance they charge for this service, it shouldn't be much different than that spent on this device, especially if it turns out to be worthless to you. Food for thought. Good luck guy.

I use them in my Nitro Venom Dusk and they have great penetration power and they are very accurate to 50 yards. I have not found an occasion to test them at a greater distance. If you have the need for a high velocity pellet I see no reason that they would not serve you well, at least in the 22 cal version. I can't speak to the 177 cal version as I have not used them. Hope this helps. good hunting.

Yes I used this on 8mm ammo for the Mauser and used it on pistol calipers too. Super easy and dummy proof to use. Definitely recommend it.

Should be no problem. Works fine in my .223. Just make sure the patch isn't too big.

I've only used it up to 50 yards. I can perfectly see the bullet holes perfectly. Try using some of those birchwood shoot n see targets. I used it for my ak74 which makes holes about the size of a .22. My guess is that you'll be ok if you use shoot n see targets

Ryan, I think this scope should work well for you for that application. I think you will want a sine/square wave signal generator of some sort as well, so you can get a periodic signal you can see clearly on the scope.

Yes and no, it will depend on how far is the target as the red dot is not really visible during sunlight. I am in TX and we get A LOT of sunlight, so not very useful for me. In the best condition, I think it would be good for 50 yards. The boresight only helps you sight it in, so that it will be closer to the intended target. I don't really recommend it.

I shoot .22lr 36 grain ammo at mine between 15 and 25 yards out of a Ruger 10/22. It chips the paint, but no noticeable denting. I think a 17hmr will be fine.

Depending on the bullet you sight your scope with yes. When you use a higher grain round than you sighted for you will notice some drop

You will have no issues with this scope with what you're trying to do. I use it for seeing the holes of 223/556 @ 100 yrds, no splatter. This scope is the real deal for that price.

I would avoid this unit. It would not fit correctly in my 223/556 so I was not able to use it to sight in my scope. I ended up getting a red laser that goes in the chamber.

I have a 3 dot scope and I have my bottom dot sighted in for 60 yards. I think you could go out further but I don't like to take chances of wounding an animal with a bolt and having to track it for miles. I mostly hunt elk with mine. You can practice at different distances and see how your accuracy holds up. If you have not bought a C5 yet I think you will like it.

I have only used the scope out to 100 yds. and I am satisfied, but I think it would be hard to see .223 holes at further distances.

It will work but it won't be nearly as much fun. The .223 blanks sent the ball between 400-500 yards. I don't know the distance you'll get but it should also be more accurate. Because of the muzzle velocity and lack of barrel twist in the tube the ball does its own thing but generally straight.

The information provided with the kit says "Yes" and mentions using the .25 brush. I am not familiar with your caliber but assume you do not have a limited sized breach, which was my problem with the .22 brush that came with the kit.

The Tumbler works great with all types of casing...,being .223 is one of the smaller rifle casing you will still have that issue...But fewer casing...I do combination water formula with hand full of zinc plated BBs,then cob to really polish the cases if even needed...check U-tube for some great videos on the subject...!!!
