    Range Report A ballistic puzzle; or how to help a newbie figure out the wonder that is Ballistics AE

    See I wasnt putting it in as the difference, I was putting it in as what I actually hit the target at. So my -1.0 wasnt the difference between suggested and actual; at 200 yards I was at 1.0 minutes.

    For some reason I did not record the atmospheric pressure that day, and I cant even recall what it was. I did enter the drop in MOA units and I did click off drop is relative. Scope not tracking true? Do you mean that 25 minutes on my turret might not actually be 25 minutes of elevation?

I'm having trouble getting accurate firing solutions with the software and I am not sure if I am doing something wrong (most likely) or maybe I've discovered some strange anomaly to long range shooting.

    Changing from H4350 to IMR 4350

    Post your results for this! I'm running really low on H4350 and might have to switch to IMR4350 as well. I can still find it and H4831, so I plan on testing them before the snow hits.

    7MM Remington Magnum

    I have a similar rifle to the OP that I bought just for the action. Turns out its a second year Remington 700 ADL (1963) in 7mm Rem mag. My original plan was to turn it into a 300 win mag configured exactly like my 260, but I really like the caliber so far. Thing is amazing accurate even with a...

    Rifle Scopes another viper pst goes down from 338 lm

    I am not a long experienced distance shooter, but this is the scope I have and I am extremely happy with it. I take most shots between 6-10 power, glass is very clear and the adjustments seem to be accurate.

    7MM Remington Magnum

    I'm curious about this topic myself. I recently picked up a 7mm rem mag cheap intending to switch it to 300 win mag for beyond 1000 targets.

    I'm loading .260 with H4350 and having some strange results.
