    Is it Easier to Shoot Sub MOA Further Out?

    Every feature you form/shape on the bullet has to have it's Cg and center of form along the same axis (center-line of the bullet). Boat tails are added complexity in the forming operation. They may or may not add extra steps in the machine that makes them, but they do add complexity and...

    Airguns Beating Rimfires

    I don't have much experience with airguns myself other than a co-worker that has a pretty nice setup. He pretty typically gets ES of less than 10fps. Surprised the hell out of me.

    Is it Easier to Shoot Sub MOA Further Out?

    If you record THE SAME GROUP at two different distances, the only way that the further distance will be angularly tighter is through some form of wind/velocity/drag correction. In other words, the right most shot experiences a stronger R->L wind than the rest of the group and the highest shot...

    4DOF Zero Angle is not "sticking"

    Yeah Google Earth or ON-X are both solid for getting actual location elevation. Glad to hear it's working for you! In my experience that's pretty typical when you give it solid input data. I think a lot of people try to fudge it like you would with G1/G7 calculators and it doesn't respond...

    4DOF Zero Angle is not "sticking"

    For most use cases you're fine just putting station pressure. The elevation is for a reference for high angle and very long range. it pulls from a reference table for air density as the bullet gains/loses elevation. For most <1200yd flat fire stuff it's not really a factor.

    Who wants to boycott 3 shot group reviews & reviewers?

    1 is enough, 2 is plenty. 3 is overkill.

    Surefire ICAR

    A .250" diameter bullet (.243/.250 bore/groove barrel) would be the bees knees. Sexy 120-125gr pills in a 30 degree shoulder necked down 264 USA at 2.5-2.6" COAL... Just non-standard enough to never happen, though. IMO .257" bullets are too close to .264's to warrant much change between...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    1ft square targets with decent contrast with the background with an M4 you should probably be able to hit to at least 300yd fairly reliably from a prone position or anything supported. The old USMC table 1 500yd line shooting an E-mod was "gravy" points if you had any semblance of wind...

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    I've seen worse. Generally I agree... but sometimes components align to make something truly spectacularly horrible.

    Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

    Shooting fundamentals are more important. There's more stuffing moving around and NPA, follow-through, etc. make a bigger difference vs. bolt actions. However, the mechanical system is also flimsy. You're talking with most AR's a super thin-wall aluminum shell (Upper receiver) that has a...
