It's time for a new barrel. I was looking for the perfect 6mm chamber ( light recoil and long barrel ) for my Savage when i came to the conclusion that the 6mm grendel was the right size, so why not modify the AR. Before you ask why 6mm, not 6.5 grendel, let me explain. Most grendels shoot...

Same container. I even have my scale fixed to the bench. I check zero quite frequently, but it's been so long, I can't recall when it was last off. Mike, thanks fire the info. I think I might go to the range and reload once until it splits just to see how velocity changes with each firing...

I understand velocity loss will happen after fire forming, but I didn't expect to lose so much more. I stared with an accurate load of 23.2 gr of 844 to reach 2930 fps (my accurate node happens to be Berger's published max for the 70VLDload) . This is from once fired, not new. Now for the fifth...

I think it's safe to recommend them, but they're not miracle bullets. .366 g7, .730 g1????? HA HA HA HA!!!

Sounds much more correct than .366. What range have you validated?

I am excited to go tell all my hunting buddies about these things. Finally a good looking boat tail behind a Nosler. The higher b.c. will reduce wind drift and benefit less skilled hunters, and long range marksmen alike, but I think the advertised b.c. is a little deceptive. We have a 210 gr...

I actually have 2 24x Scopes mounted currently. The AR has one specifically for load development, but it so much fun, I haven't taken it off. The other is a 223 varmint rifle that shots half moa consistently. When it had the 16x power it also shot half moa, some 1/4moa. Can I shoot groups...

So, maybe sixteen is the magic number. Or maybe for automobile/firearm enthusiast at least. I sold my autocross racer to buy more guns. I guess I found my priorities.

I just saw a USO sn-9 for $3500. 230+ moa and 42x magnification. A little beyond the budget, but I can't think of an easier way to do it.

Nightforce lists the 12-42 nxs as having 45 moa adj. range. My loads won't get me to 1500 yards with that. What ranges are you shooting now, and what scope are you using?

I have the Bushnell Elite 1600, and I love it. Somewhere over $400, but ranging rocks out to 1000 yards is a piece of cake. Today I could only get readings out to 1084, so it must be time to change the batteries.

A few weeks ago I was shooting at a mile for the first time, early morning sunlight on my target (I was laying in the shade of hill) and I thought this is amazing. I can see my score rings, ever so faintly, drawn with a sharpie. Millet 4-16. Now today my shooting group included a Razor 5-20...

So, what can the regular old redneck with a gun like me take from your article? Well.....I have typically placed a chrono 15ft from the muzzle and used a B. Litz provided B.C. and the provided correction from the ballistic calculator results in a shot hitting low, at extreme ranges...

No keyholes, and I don't have the means to measure drag. I'm not and educated ballistitician, but I plan to run test, shooting 5 shoot groups at multiple targets placed out to 300 yards, targets lined up so they are shot simultaneously, record each shot on every target, and repeat the test as...

I'm looking at the Emdr model (part number 800363), because it is advertised having 100 moa adjustment range. The SWFA lists 120 moa. I have another scope that is advertised also as having 120 moa, but in testing, it had far less. The graduations get smaller until the last 50 or so have no...
