As far as the rounds going off right next to your face, it is much safer to have your face on the side of the bolt then directly behind it like on a conventional gun. A failure will cause the bolt to fly backwards and I'd rather a bolt in the shoulder then a bolt in the eyesocket any day. We...
Black Diamond,
I just received a 30" 408 barrel from Barney it tapers from 1.365" to 1.1" at the muzzle and is fluted, it weighs 9 lbs, am I missing something?
Blackdiamond,
I have shot Dean's 375/408 with lost river ballistic bullets and it shot under 1/2 moa at 100 yards easy. I haven't shot the 408 at 100 yards but have shot it out farther and it did quite well past 1500 yards.
Dean is a good guy and I respect him.
Re: Schmidt & Bender price list.
I talked to a technician at S&B and he said the crosshair is going to be .24 MOA thick, should be thinner in my mind, but like they would change anything for the user. That was for the 5-25x PMII
This was the old title "Swarovksi STS-80 Spotting Scope not STS 65"
I guess the "not sts-65" part was considered spam. I think it is a crock. But I guess Ebay doesn't care about how much they jerk around their custmers.
I have relisted the spotter because ebay canceled my previous auction because they did not like my title??
Here is the new listing.

goodgrouper, he wants to know how much elevation it takes to get from your 100 yard zero to 1500 yards.
You didn't say what your closest sight in distance, you told him it took 29 minutes of elevation, but 29 minutes from where? 100 yards 200 yards?
I am selling my Swarovski STS 80 spotting scope on Ebay if anyone is interested, starting price was $900.00

I have been using the Exbal program for several years. It has worked great out to 1000 yards with my 308 win & 338 Lapua Magnum, however I have been routinely shooting my 338LM past 1K and the accuracy of my Exbal program drops off pretty dramatically past 1K. For example Exbal says I need...

You are correct they are solid bronze bullets not copper, sorry for the typo.
