    Heat mirage

    No, I shot two matches, in March, 2019 and March 2020. The 2020 match I shot light and heavy. Mirage was worse at the 2020 match if I recall correctly. Heavy was a 28 pound 416 Barrett with an older S&B PMII H2CMR, and the light gun, a 338 LM had the Gen2 Razor. I could control the recoil...

    Call Manners and get Paul Phillips number, assuming he's still the go to guy for the Manners ELR stocks Scott

    Is an 8 twist too fast for these? Scott

    ELR match at Ben Franklin Range in western Pa April 19th

    Yes it's a different match, that I provided the link in a previous post, to the early May team match in case someone wanted to shoot at the PA private range and can't make the April 19th date or can't make it to TVP. Scott

    ELR match at Ben Franklin Range in western Pa April 19th

    oh ok, yep so maybe it's cancelled. They mentioned having another in July, but who knows. The $1200 is if your a team of 1. A team of 4 would be $300 per I believe. Scott

    It might be full. There is another match there in early May that might have spots. https://ghostfirearmstraining.com/mile-money-match/ Scott

    Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

    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...

    Heat mirage

    How close to the ground are your targets? Out in the Nevada desert we had the target as high as we could get it off the ground on T posts, and that helped a bit. That's crazy mirage downrange, and the only thing I can suggest is to try even lower magnification Scott

    Did that take care of most of the mirage? Scott

    Heat mirage

    You are on the right track with good glass. You may be using too much magnification. I try to keep it under 20x in the heat. 15x to 18x has worked fine for me out to 2500 yards. I have an older SB PM2 that I used in my first ELR match in Georgia, and it was very good. The next match I shot...

    May the Reloading Gods Forgive Me...

    Dies and brass... probably the most important aspects, so if they aren't up to snuff, that's good reason to go with another cartridge. I have a Warner arbor press die in 416 Barrett and it is beautiful and very functional, and same with their sizing die. Thank you for your insights, and I...
