Awful Awful News. Didn't know Ian in person, but we've often exchanged emails and photos in the past; my daughters are of a similar age to his grand daughter. I felt perhaps a slightly stronger connection to him than one might normally with e-friends because, years ago, I lived for 2...

How frustrating! Had no idea that would happen -apologies, I have no other links :)

Haven't posted for quite a while; hello to those remember me! Thought some of you may be interested in this; it's this week's BBC Panorama current affairs programme; grit your teeth past the first few minutes intro; the reporter is an excellent bloke who's been out there for 3 years...

Well... ....they're expressly not the same. Suggest you re-read the data in Mattj's post. In his post's final example 'cos applied to comeup' gives a 3" error against loadbase "direct incline entry".....the other gives a 15" error. Which of the 'error(s)' do you consider significant...

David, Sounds as though we're violently agreeing :) Ward, Dropped you a PM.

How do you think Exbal is calculating it??! I'll eat my hat if it isn't applying the cos of the angle to the bullet's drop. :)

Please read the six lines following the piece you quoted.....and you will answer your own question :) . How tall does the pencil look when held vertically, with your arm vertically above your head? (worth pointing out that what I'm calling 'drop' is actually the vector resulting from the...

Hi Ward, Hope you are well! I think the 2nd part of your explanation needs a wee tweak :) The reason for your 1st point being spot-on correct is that applying the cos to comeups (or drop) reflects what is going on ballistically, applying it to the slant (laser) range does not. I'm going to...

DUH, Apologies, for no good reason I didn't twig your location. I can't vouch for the stuff first hand. There's a good write up on Sniper's Paradise. I've been toying with the idea of getting some for a while. Sounds as though you'd have the same reticence as me! It's occurred to...

Use this link and do a keyword search for 'paint' Removable Weapon Paint "A complete range of colours to allow you to temporarily camouflage your weapon according to the theatre of operations. The paint is then easily removed with the paint remover, which is available as a spray as well. You...

Len, Dick, Finally loaded firefox (hadn't really wanted to add new software, but in the end I gave in!) Positive: The LRH page to page time lag is reduced to 2-3 seconds & text appears first. Negative: Firefox is, for me, a 'bespoke' browser with no purpose other than to view...

Dick, Thanks for the recommendation. I have to say, I don't really fancy changing to a new software when, in all other respects (ie all sites except long range hunting), it continues to be entirely satisfactory...it used to be entirely satisfactory on long range hunting too! Tonight it...

Averaging just over 4 seconds today. Yesterday it varied between 5 and 7 seconds. I know that sounds a little nit-picky, but 4 seconds actually feels like quite a long time.....reminds me of when I was on an exchange tour with the Cdn Army; we had a Brigade Commander who stuttered....on...

Len, Afraid to say I have a piece of negative feedback: I'm on 2mb broadband, despite this I have a small time lag of 5 to 7 seconds every time I change page whilst the adverts build (the delay appears to be linked to the build up of the outdoor TV banner....every single page...

Bigcat, I think there's a requirement to define 'accurately to 1000yds' in 308 terms. Apologies for quoting myself, but here are my thoughts on the same question regarding deer: For the requirement you've alluded to, I'd recommend strongly pointing your friend away from a 308 :)...
