We've now added a color code for all accounts. Orange accounts are new members, Blue are full members, and Green are Supporters. If you get a message about a sale from an orange account, make sure you pay attention before sending any money!
Interesting indeed. I hope the next Generation would have a built-in LRF. Also, why the windage knob has no built in encoder? Do you hold for windage using the reticle?
OBT, QL, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Barrel Tuners. QL is being used to simulate loads that OBT predicts as optimum. OBT used a simplified model by selecting the most dominant factors that affect accuracy. On the other hand, other shooters/engineers were working on modelling barrel...
With the new tools, you need to have 1) Accurate BC G7 or Radar-based profile for your the bullet you are shooting 2) Accurate MV 3) Accurate weather data If 1) and 2) are not that accurate at the range, you can shoot at some distance, say 500 yards and assume 1) and true 2) using the trueing...
A $700 scope like a Bushnell Elite 6500 would be a great scope for hunting and target shooting up to 400 yrds. Set it for +3"/-3" and you can hit any game up to 350yrds or maybe 400 yrds. Optics on that scope is amazing.
In 30-06 you can load way more bullets from 120gr (or less) to 220grs. Also, you can load 168gr 308 Same (BC) in both and get faster MV in 30-06. Thus, you get flatter trajectory with 30-06. Heavy bullets can fight wind better than in 308.
No kit give you what you want. Start with good press (consider a turret press too) and add what you want. I like LEE, low cost does the job very well and after all it is you who is perfecting your loads. For those who have more money to spend and want Quality and Precision. Go with RCBS.
My Tikka T3 kicks like a mule. I added a pre-fit limbsaver and I can shoot it with no-bruises after some 40rds. However, I prefer to add a good Muzzle brake so I reduce the chance to lose the sight picture. 1) What Muzzle break do you recommend? 2) What installer gunsmith do you recommend in...
Ok, I am bit puzzled. Let us start, shall we? 1) Rifle: Steyr SSG 04, 300 WM, factory stock. a) load: Hornady 208gr A-Max over 70gr of Alliant 4000 MR. Estimated MV is 2850 ft/s b) Weather: 80F @ 29.12" AP, elevation 530ft. c) Wind: SSE at 8-9mph gusting to 12mph, I used 160 degrees for wind...
