    Re: SHWW Group Hey Bigwheels - I went up to the ACME spot and set up my 11"x17" LV steel target so it was 930 yards away shooting from the "750" yard location (just south of the T-intersection). Once on target I enjoyed consistent hits but noticed a few rounds high and a little right. The...

    4831 sc users

    Re: 4831 sc users Chronographed/zeroed my 4831SC load at 30F/sea level. Used JBM trajectory calculator for various conditions - one is for 1800ft altitude and 70F. Shot said conditions last week and the JBM data was right on. I would conclude the powder as stable between 30F and 70F...

    Cammenga Lensatic Compass

    Re: Cammenga Lensatic Compass My "AO" requires approximately 20 declination. I prefer a compass with geared declination so I can "set it and forget it". You might also look for a compass that features a built in clinometer too...

    ? re: Pressure Signs for 208AMAX, H4350, 30-06

    Starting to work up loads. 30-06, BR2 primers, Lapua case, 208Amax, H4350. Knowing all rifles are unique I will still ask the question for informational purposes. At what powder charge did you start to experience pressure signs?

    Rifle Scopes Price of a Reticle Change from Leupold?

    Re: Price of a Reticle Change from Leupold? This doesn't answer your question but here is an additional data point. I have the Leupold Gold Ring spotter 12x40-60 and requested a quote to install a mildot reticle. Quoted price from Leupy: three fiddy, that's right $350.00 U.S. dollars...

    Gunsmithing Question about reamers for .308

    Re: Question about reamers for .308 PTG built my customer reamer which is very close the 95 Palma. I also ordered their uni-throater so I could lengthen the free bore as required. After deciding to shoot heavier bullets than the 155 SMK I successfully used the uni-throater to add 0.020 more...

    Range Report JBM Ballistic Calculator

    Re: JBM Ballistic Calculator "Velocity, it seems, trumps BC. Depending on what you get out of your 30-06, it may or may not mean that much, again depending on what range you shoot at." While I agree regarding the vertical component of the velocity vector (where drop is a function of time) -...

    Range Report JBM Ballistic Calculator

    Re: JBM Ballistic Calculator John - thanks for the heads up. To be honest with you it seems difficult enough shooting the 308 accurately at 900 yards. So much so I have a 30-06 build in progress and plan to use the 208 AMAX as an improved countermeasure to the wind. Are you of the same...
