Pop Tarts get my vote, they make for an easy field snack with lots of carbs for quick energy. I wouldn't want to be walking around with a strudel in my cargo pocket. If it was on taste alone the strudel would have ranked higher.

Thanks for the input. Now I just need to get my broken ass out to some matches, just not much going on in the SE Texas region in the way of tactical/practical rifle matches.

Anyone know why they discontinued it? Was it just lack of sales?

All comes down to what you need the rifle to do. If punching paper/steel out to 1K is all the rifle will be doing then the .243 is hard to beat with the same drop/drift as the 6.5/7mm, but with the added feature of minimal recoil. If hunting gets added to the equation energy on target becomes a...

I see what you were saying now. I thought you were directly comparing the BC of the 6/6.5/7mm bullets. In a side by side comparison of the 162 amax and the 140 VLD of retained velocity and energy both starting at 2800fps (JBM calc - Litz BC); At 500y 162 = 2093fps/1575ft-lbs -- 140 =...

Need to go over your numbers again.

For long distance shooting the 6mm and 6.5mm have less recoil, less drop, and damn near the same windage. Also the 7mm-08 has very few options for factory match ammo - not a problem for the reloader but a consideration. For hunting and energy on target the 7mm is definitely the top pick, but...

What's the protocol on injuries in tactical matches? Are you just DQ'ed from any stage you can't physically perform or will the RO let you perform a modified version?

My .45 acp order took a bit over 6 weeks. Glad I was able to get anything considering everything I have on order everywhere else is on backorder. Thanks Zach for another order of ammo Keep your powder dry, Goat

Re: 175smk seating depth I'm currently at .01" off the lands and getting .5-.75 MOA. Planning to work up in .003" increments and see if it tightens anything up (kissing the lands will put me right at max mag length). If I don't see any results I'll work down from .01" in .003" increments...

I know that the 175smk is considered a jump tolerant bullet, but is there an optimal jump range that the smk prefers to be within?

Re: 4831/4831Sc Hodgon Free 8# jug of 4831sc during a supply shortage, nice score brother. I went to four local shops here in Houston and only found two 1#'ers, and can't find any H4895.
