I'm hijacking my own post. If you use a BDC or similar type method for shots in the 600 to 800 yard range and a computer for more accurate solutions past this range would you classify the "when I need a computer" range as "now shooting long range" as one of your long range definitions? I...

What method(s) do you use in the field to compute ballistics solutions? 1. Computer-if so how much time does it usually take you to compute the solution? 2. Firing Table or drop chart 3. BDC 4. Velocity Reticle 5. Other 6. Two or more methods I use both the computer and firing table...

I developed a load for a friend three weeks ago using the 230's in the same gun. Best results 100 gr Retumbo Max length just to where the cartridge will clear the magazine MV 3050 Pressure signs at 105gr and 101-104gr did not show near the group capability. I don't think it would hurt to...

I've been shooting for 30 years. This is her first five rounds from a rifle. My best 5 shot group for the day was 1.2 inches at 200. Yep she can out shoot me. I'm scared to see what she can do with more practice. Hopefully improve at least two fold.

This year my wife asked if she could hunt with me. Wow, after all the past years I never thought she would take interest in shooting an animal and not going along occasionally just for the ride.…..Absolutely my reply, more time hunting together. One problem at the moment in my mind. She has...

Nightforce would be my choice.

2787, 300gr, 92gr Retumbo, 27", 10 twist 2850, 300gr, 92gr Retumbo, 26", 9 twist I have not tried the 250's.

I have a 308, one of my best shooting guns. I do most of my practice with it, even used it once for a 1000 yrd paper punching match. But if I decided to take that gun elk hunting at ranges up to the 500+ mark, I would hope my hunting friends would kick me square in the head and leave me in the...

Anyone wanting to confirm 1MOA head shots at 600 yards, or any range at that matter, go practice on a overrun gopher field. Seven to eight shots killing a gopher out of ten at your intended range, I would say go for it. BTW, this post warped four years into the future....Would be interesting...

I tried the coriolis effect "on" once with my computer while duck hunting. It didn't work too well. I ate an iron vitamin and it screwed up my magnetic direction and I ended up shooting the beak off a decoy.

No kidding. The only chance I had available to hunt last year was the Thanksgiving week. Two teen hunters linked up with me for a few days SE of Ulm. The slowest wind speed I recorded was 18 MPH with the average around 30 going up close to 60. Miserable, purely miserable. Must have passed on 50...

Feenix, I can't speak for Kirby but I believe he will take a special action rebuild on request with his approval. If you have the time, maybe we could test some of our rifle builds and in the future Kirby's rifle builds among gopher fields south of GF along the Smith. Let me know if...

I have 6 hunting guns and each with a different probability of 1st shot cold bore hit within a 14" circle dependent on range and energy, etc. So to answer, 400 to 900 yards depending on each gun's maximum effective range shooting probability to hit a 14" circle, dependent on measured 2mph or...

I have two 700 actions waiting to receive two Lilja 7mm barrels. I have quite a bit of shooting experience but not so much gun making performance experience. I just started what most would call long range shooting two years ago. You could say I am in the experimental stage….if it will ever quit...
