SOLD Foundation Centurion, Dark, Impact/TL3/RimX - Arca Rail, Weights, Hawkins DBM

Foundation Centurion in the dark color. Inletted for Impact and Foundation also opened it up slightly for Zermatt TL3/RimX, so it will fit just about any R700 clone.

Where did you get the foam on the cheek riser? I need one.
That is a Hoptic Saddle blanket.

Guys it's last call tomorrow. I'm not beating anyone up but here is who we haven't heard from to my knowledge.

If any of the above sent in the order and didn't receive a confirmation. Beat me up so I can get your copy to you.

If you don't want one... not a big deal. I'll just cross you off the SH list that I had going.

I just don't want anyone to be forgotten about. That's all.

Later, Frank

Thank you Frank!

Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

Is a bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

I know that my precision AR is a tack driver out to 800 yards, but falls off the face of a cliff at 900. Thinking that is because at 800 yards bullet is going transonic. So thinking about various cartridges, what is the max range? I ran through the following calcs:
CartridgeMVBulletYardsFPSmach
5.56285075 BTHP80011731.07
6.5CM2789147 ELD-m150012311.10
30882550178 ELD-M100012271.12
300WM2850225 ELD-M170012031.10
338 Lapua2900285 ELD-M190011731.07
Seems like many are shooting those cartridges past the above distances I have. Also, what would the advantage (other than energy) be for a 338 over a 300WM at a mile and wouldn't you be able to take a 300WM as far as a 338 accurately?

I want to take my 6.5 CM and try shooting at a mile (the bullet will be at 1050 fps or m=.94) - will this be possible? My 300WM is only a 2 minute rifle so no point in trying to take it that far & I do not have a 338.

Lots of good posts here...

One thing is the Hornaday 147 ELDM have a larger BC variation, and they don't do well past transonic. I'm don't know if you plan to try them at a mile, but I'd suggest 140 ELDM if you like hornaday, or Berger Hybrid of your choice, or Lapua Scenar.
Like others have said, the 75 ELDM are supposed to be great even a bit past 1000 yards.

Interesting… and raises ethical questions!!

You are 98.8% the same as a chimp. A few things change and humans are here. The differences are small so , if it smells like a dire wolf, looks like a dire wolf , etc. , I will go ahead and say it's a dire wolf.
In a genome of 3 billion base pairs, 1% is 30 million differences.

By their own accounting, the researchers changed 20 or so genes…

(For those not keeping score, the discussion has strayed into my very small area of competence…)

Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

Weather went to shit, so I headed south and hunted with a friend.
Dropped the third dog at a farm I dropped the male of a pair two weeks earlier.
She came in howling like mad and I stopped her at 183 yards.
Since it was the day before the end of the season, we didn't hold back and let em' rip.
Last day we got to the first stand, called for 10 minutes and the sky opened up.

What did you do in the reloading room today?

I don't have comparator guages to check. I did it a little at a time until the bolt close felt lighter. Using a L.E. Wilson die but thinking of getting a SAC.
While the tumbling of your Alpha brass didn't ruin them, though you very well could if you're bumping those shoulders too far where the brass may not last very long.

Highly recommend you get a headspace comparator, maybe like the one Hornady produces. You really don't want to shorten the life of that nice brass!

Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

Second dog was from a pair that tormented me for an hour before I lured them into range with a lamb distress call after flanking them with the help of the stealth scooter.
Dropped the big male as it was traveling through the woods at 30 yards.
The fixed focus of the X50 shines for the type of hunting I do.
