Steve from Missouri. I have been shooting and hunting most of my life. With in the past two years I have been reloading and just recently had a build started for a precision rifle. Glad I could find a place to share my obsession.

Welcome to the Hide Steve!
the only thing that comes from Missouri is steers and... wait, I'm originally from Mighty MO! Welcome and have fun.
Where is there a 1,000 yard range besides big piney?
farm lands if you aren't in big city area
Barnhart, mo I don't know anyone near me that would let me shoot on their land.
make friends, or just call people selling large tracts of land and ask, same thing I do for hunting lease
I live in Saint Louis but have access to 1800 yard private range in Jefferson City. Also a ffl/sot if you need anything. We make the trip every other weekend. Welcome to join as long as you are safe .

Thank you, I look forward to more rifle builds in the future. $$$$$$$$$$$
Thank you for the invite. I have a GA Hospitaller in .308 being built at the moment and a nightforce atacs that I just received Friday. I'm looking forward to stretch her legs out once I have developed a load for it.
Thanks, this will be my first built rifle.
Can someone help me understand ballistics ae app or is there. Forum discussion on this already? There are a few things I have questions on to use with my NF scope
I'm runing a .308 175smk at 2600fps. What do I use for native drag model and drag model? What should I enter for vital zone radius and corolis acceleration. I wish there was a video in depth when to use things at what ranges. Thanks.
fellers from missouri have abnormally large schlongs, jus sayin
There's a whole lot to ballistics that would take way longer to explain than I have, so I'm going to refer you to some smarter guys on the subject. Get the two books on here: Products
Then start reading thread after thread on here: Range Report & Exterior Ballistics
As for your quick question, I prefer G1 with a .485 BC for 175gr SMK, vital zone is your target size, and I don't bother with coriolis.
