Hi Guys, i've heard that you can work out the true ballistic co-efficient of a bullet from it's measured velocity decay over a given distance, but how does this information translate into a BC? Does anyone have a formula for such calculations or can link me to the information i need? any help...

6-9 is perfect for prone shooting, though it isn't the be all and end all and different shooting positions go better with a different height. if you need to shoot over long grass you can go higher but often the higher the bipod the less comfortable you will be shooting and the less accurate you...

thanks guy's, i think i'll be going with the bushy based on all the good reviews it's got and the many features it boasts

just watched the add for the bushnell arc, pretty impressive stuff with this angle compensation stuff, does the newcon have anything like that?

thanks for the reply, but the budget's pretty tight as it is

great find joe! would you mind giving me bit of a mini-review when you've played with it a bit more?

the f-class will be mostly a fun thing i'll be doing on the side, my main focus will be on hunting. also i'd like to keep the price line at about $1000 so i'm not really looking at the nightforce or khales range.

Hey guy's i'm looking for a long range scope for hunting and f-class and was considering these 3 options. can anyone give me their thoughts on the pro's and cons of each scope and if anyone can give me a head to head comparison on them, and which they think is the best value for money I've...

Sorry, forgot to mention i'm from Australia

based on what you've told me i think i'll true it as long as it can be done cheaply enough, might be difficult finding a local smith who can do it though.

G'day everyone, i've been trying to decide whether or not to bother truing my savage when i rebuild it, so i was wondering if anybody with some experience with savage actions could give me an idea of how true they are from the factory and whether it would be worth while to true it. thank's, Henry

the other advantage is that i can use the stockpile of .223 brass i've built up as well as better case life and less powder

i don't want to go 22-250 because i dont know where to get a bigger bolt head in oz and dont want to machine out the bolt face, i plan to shoot a 24" barrel, 1-12 twist and shoot 53gr vmax
