This rifle is a one in nine twist. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what factory ammo is more likely to shoot good out of this rifle? I hate to have to buy 30 different boxes at 20 to 40 bucks a box. Thanks to all.

I shoot a Strykeforce with a Excal luma scope over an HHA Optimizer. This xbow likes the Red Hot arrows and 125 gr field points.I use Nap Spitfires for hunting ,same POI as field tips.

For me, this is the place to be, Thanks Len

It would be nice to have a separate forum for crossbows.There is much interest out here in xbows. Just my two.

This bow has been recommended to me. I have googled and find nothing but strykerforce. He assures me this is not the bow he shoots. Help please and maybe a link. Thank you

Please explain what a chronograph does for me other than tell me how fast my bullet is traveling. Please use as many examples as you can think of to help me understand. I am a 62 year old dummy that shoot pretty good but wants to become a better shot and everything I read ,folks talk about...

Man, this exterior balistics thing is coooooompilicated. I am down to one rifle now, a pre 64 mod 70 243. I do not own a chrony. My load for this rifle is 40.5 grs of 4350 under a 95 gr nos bal tip, CCI br primmer. In the past I have found the group that shot the best load for a particular rifle...

I always zero my rifles at 100 yards. My load ,out of my 243, zeroed at 100 yds drops 21 measured inches at 400 yds. Zeroed at 200 yds the group prints 1.5 inches high at 100 yds so by subtracting 1.5 from 21, it should print 19.5 low at 400 yds. I am told by a friend that I can't figure it that...

What will a chronograph tell me other than the speed of the bullet? thank you in advance

Thank you very much.

Any idea Sir what the drop will be at 3 and 4 hundred yds?

I tried to do a search so I wouldn't have to bother yall but no luck. I just traded a tika t3 270 for a pre 64 win mod 70 243. It has been lapped and steel bedded. His load is 40.5 grs of 4350 under the 95 gr nosler bal tip. It shoots almost one hole groups at 100 yds. I have not had the chance...

406PAT I have not done any handloading since the late 60s but back then when you bought a reloading manual it had starting loads all the way though to max loads and the accuracy load was somewhere in between and highlighted.so I thought this would be easy to answer. maybe it is not done that way...

Could someone tell me the published accuracy load for the win 270 , sie 130 spbt and imr 4831 powder
