Sounds like it’s using the G1 coefficient in place of the G7. No idea why that’s happening but that would probably get those drop numbers.

Give John at Bravo Tents a call. I’ve used a few other tents over the last 20 years and just bought a Bravo last year. This tent is like the Sherman tank of tents and built to be packed. Plus when I called to inquire about tent options John the owner answered the phone. Really nice guy who...

Unfortunately I don’t have experience with elk but have taken multiple muleys, pronghorn, and whitetail at ranges of 75-425 yards with the 175 ABLR’s. Even hit steel beyond a mile with them. Simply the best all around hunting bullet made in my opinion. Bone, shoulder always a complete pass...

I see some others mentioned Fall River Shooting. I think that’s it.

There’s a nice range right off of 79 between Buffalo Gap and the Hot Springs corner. Not sure it qualifies for “ELR” but there is steel out to 1000 yards. Shot there once a couple of years ago and I thought it was very clean and nice covered concrete benches etc. Definitely worth a look if...

Sounds pretty normal to me. I shoot these bullets a lot. My 7mm RM has an OAL of 3.447” when touching the lands. Nothing special about the chambering as far as long throating etc. The 3.29” SAAMI spec number is all you will find in a book for loaded length. Not sure if you’ll find any manual...

Not sure why but the link isn’t working for me. Try again?

Hunting North American big game. Elk, deer, moose, sheep, bear, etc. Yes packable for long distances, but heavy enough to shoot steel for practice without getting beat up too badly. I’m not likely going to take a hunting shot much beyond 750 yards, but I want the horsepower to take an elk at...

Looking for input on a new rifle build. For several years I’ve been looking into designing a custom chambering utilizing some of the design aspects of many newer chamberings. I’m pretty close with the reamer print I’m going to send in which is more or less an 338 Lapua AI with a few specific...

I think you’re on the right track. As others mentioned bedding may not be necessary. I would recommend having a free floated barrel because working up a load will really be about matching up the powder charge to the barrel harmonics. First thing to ask yourself is will you be constricted by...

I’m thinking carbon ring. I’ve had similar issues and was able to alleviate with a good cleaning. I’m not sure what everyone here will think of it but I used regular old carb cleaner from an auto parts store and an old brush on a drill. Just gave a good squirt into the end of the chamber and...

I think it would depend on the mount of jam and the amount of neck tension. Obviously until the jam happens the chambering of the round would be free to rotate with the bolt throw. It may or may not depending on how aggressive you operate the bolt, how slick the bolt face may be, etc. Take a...

Something like this is a great place to start. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1023389781?pid=345426 RCBS is one of several good brands to pick from so I wouldn’t get hung up on that per say. I’ll recommend getting a digital scale. Some may argue but I think most would agree that’s a really...

Not sure what you’re willing to spend but here’s and idea: https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=E8EC7816-B05E-47A8-8542-73D36841B518 Should be low enough for a deer to easily hop over but the netting would keep any coin out. Don’t know if it will discount he deer too much though...
