    What am I seeing in my barrel?

    Photo 13 is a typical cross hatch rubbish cold hammer Tikka barrel. My Tac A1 in 260 was so rubbish I had it rebarreled just to get it to shoot.

    Sub $900 Scope for hunting

    Thanks guys, yes I do want FFP, the Burris is not really what I want, to stay in the 42-44mm ob. size I would have to step down to the max of x10 power or go up to the 50mm ob. size which is not what I want. I have a very specific spec I want to try and keep to.

    180 Hornady ELD-M bullets blowing up in air

    It sounds to me like a rifle specific problem as plenty of other guys are shooting them at higher speeds with no problems. I would have a smith look down the bore with a scope. I wouldn't mind betting there is a rough patch somewhere there that is damaging the bullet. The high pressure at low...

    Different bullets for wind drift

    Some bullets are not pushed around by wind or can buck the wind better than others. The longer a bullet is in flight the more wind will affect it. So the better the bc of a bullet the less it slows down during flight and the less it will be moved from your aim point.
