    Might join the PRS / NRL22 group. Need help

    These are the most important basics that will really hold you back if you don’t follow them. Don’t shoot on too high of power. Probably around 15x or less until you get better. Find the target and landmarks for the target with your naked eye. Look over your turret and drop into your scope to...

    Long Range Reticle Thread

    I love the JVCR reticle on my USO scopes. It’s not too busy for a Christmas tree reticle.

    Shooting after heart surgery

    I had open heart surgery on August 10, 2021. I had valve replacement. I was 52 and in good health besides a birth defect in my valve. I was cleared to go back to work after 6 weeks. If I had a desk job I could have went back to work but I didn’t feel well enough to go back until November 7. I...

    Progressive press advice wanted

    If you’re going to do a lot of swaging look at the Hornady lock&load AP. I have the Hornady and my buddy has a Dillon 1050. If you’re going high volume definitely get the Dillon. You are only going to be able to load at 2/3 the rate with the Hornady press but they make a really good swager for...

    See how you do on this test ???

    1 MOA is close to .3 MIL. One tenth of a MIL is .36 inches times 3 is 1.08 inches at 100 hundred yards. One MOA is 1.047 inches at 100 yards .

    See how you do on this test ???

    There’s several ways to do it but here’s how I did it. One mil is one yard at 1000 yards or 36” and 39.5” is approximately 1.1 MIL. Divided by the 1.35 MIL= 814 yards divided by 1.09 yards in a meter gives you the meters. There’s more precise math that I’ve long forgotten.

    Terminal performance of the 6.5mm 140 eld-match (pics)

    The padded cheek piece makes it nice in the cold. It wouldn’t be much fun without it. It really depends on how much you are going to be holding it. If I was in a tree stand holding it the whole time I would be using a carbon fiber stock.

    Terminal performance of the 6.5mm 140 eld-match (pics)

    This is a 140 eldm recovered from the off shoulder inside of the hide of my wife’s mule deer that she shot at 240 yards. It still weighs 81 Gr. Muzzle velocity is 2880 fps. It went through the shoulder on the entrance side and still mostly stayed together. Deer was laying down and never moved...

    What is the Typical Distance Range You Kill Big Game At?

    I don’t know if there is such a thing as a typical distance for game. I’m not going to pass on a monster at 20 yards just so I can make a longer shot. The conditions, cartridge and where the animal pops out determine how far I shoot. One year it’s 40 yards and the next it’s 1100.
