milanuk, I guess the concept that I personally find important in all of this is that of tolerances. How far can I afford to be off when asessing the parameters of a given situation before everything blows up. Would a reloader want to use brass that would cause a catastrophe if he was...

Actually, this post was made half-jokingly. I was simply having some fun playing around with a theoretical situation of a guy going out on a Saturday afternoon to hunt large, dangerous games at distances in excess of half a mile with a .17 Remington in Death Valley (perhaps they escaped from a...

cheechako, When you find yourself unable to respond to the point of the conversation, you simply resort to calling me a jerk? Ad hominem attacks are easy aren't they? Let's back up and stay with the ACTUAL topic of the conversation. "cgsafaris" went to "The Basics, starting out" Forum...

cheechako, I said: "If your scope has 1/4 MOA turrets, it will require 4 clicks to adjust your point of impact approximately 1 inch at 100 yards. The same number of clicks will move you twice as far at 200 yards, 3 times as far at 300 yards, etc." And you said : "Look at it this way ...

If your scope has 1/4 MOA turrets, it will require 4 clicks to adjust your point of impact approximately 1 inch at 100 yards. The same number of clicks will move you twice as far at 200 yards, 3 times as far at 300 yards, etc. If you take the tangent of the inverse of 60 and multiply it by...

Imagine a guy is hunting with a .17 Remington Magnum. He is shooting 25 grain Hornady Hollow Points with a Muzzle Velocity of 4,040 feet per second and a G1 Ballistic Coefficient of .151. The weather conditions are 100 degrees below zero Fairenheit, 200 feet below Sea Level, and a 200 mile per...

Thanks guys.

Does anyone here know if a 7MM Remington Magun barrel with a 1 in 9.5 inch twist rate will stabilize 175 grain bullets? If not, does anyone here know what the heaviest bullet it will stabilize is?

I recently bought a Savage 112BVSS chambered in 7MM Remington Magnum. The only other rifle I own was a package deal and came with a scope already on it, so I don't know how to put a scope on. I'm planning on buying a Sightron SII 6-24X42MM scope and putting it on the rifle. I know that I...

Thanks Dave. Now, let me start out by saying that I don't question your answer as to whether or not it is correct. I only have some Newbie questions as to being curious as to the way things are commonly done. If I put 9 shots inside of 1 inch at 100 yards and the 10th shot is 12 inches out...

I know that shots groups are usually measured in groups of at least five shots. However, I have a simple question about three shot groups I can't find the answer to and I was hoping someone could help me. Let's say the first shot is perfectly centered on the bullseye. The second shot is...

Thanks guys.

I was wondering if any of you could provide any suggestions as far as what scopes to look into buying. My budget limit is $500 for the scope and the mounts. This particluar rifle will probably not be used for hunting, so I do not need the absolutely most durable scope out there. Also...

If someone can place three shots in a one inch circle at 100 yards with a .30/06 - 150 grain Remington Core-Lokt bullet, at what type of distances will the logic that leads one to come to the conclusion that he can place three shots in a 2 inch circle at 200 yards, a 3 inch circle at 300 yards...

Thanks guys. I'll try different sitting positions. Also, I might buy a shooting stick. I found a place that sells them and they don't cost much.
