Re: Badger Ordnance Rings???
I have the badger max 50 rings and they fit perfect on my USO. You should be fine. The ring height of the M40A3 rings are pretty much the same height.
Re: Is 2800 too fast?
Yup, I went out and check a ballistic card I made using mils and that one was right. I'm using a falcon menace Mil reticle with MOA turrets. I some how managed to match the turrets up with a guestimated velocity (which is wrong but works with BULLETFLIGHT). My mil mil...
Re: Is 2800 too fast?
i didn't get the bor pressure. Its not very humid here either. I'm in a semi desert area. the ballistic coficient is .255 i think with the VLD. It might be my scope (falcon menace). But when I got out to 800+ yards i was very close to my target on my first shot. I kind...
Re: Is 2800 too fast?
I shot different distances and matched my velocity (bullet flight) with my adjustments on my scope. I didn't quite understand your second post. I came up with about 2825 fps.
I just wanted to know if 2800 FPS is too fast for my 308 win. I have a stock 700P (26" barrel). I did some shooting today the temperature was about 45 degrees (F). It was pretty windy (15 to 20 MPH). My elevation is right around 5800 (SW COLORADO). I'm loading the 175 gr Berger VLD (hunting)...
Re: Accident at the Range today,+ some basic Q's
Don't let it freak you out. Semi Autos have a different max. Brass does play a good role in safety but its where people like to go cheap. Don't pick up brass off the ground and reuse it because another person could have done that and left it...
Re: Lookin for a Varmint/Longrange rifle.
I would go 22-250 with heavy bullets. If your not reloading then go with a 223 with heavy bullets. Also how long range are you talking about? 50 yards or 500+ yards?
Re: Want ballistics app for iphone
You can copy or modify the cartridge. I would copy it then "Modify" if needed. My version (bulletflight) lets me modify cartridges. Just select the cartridge, hit "modify", make your changes, then "save".

I think this would help. Maybe try to get the rear ring closer to the turret housing too.
Re: Want ballistics app for iphone
I have bulletflight. It has Brian Litz(sp) ballistic data in it but doesn't show it. It has a library of BC for just about every bullet in there. Very useful app. I bought the other app (higher cost i think). I cant remember how much it was.
Re: Didn't Blow Up
I agree with cobra. I started at 155's, then 168's, and now at 175's (bergers) Also the A-max bullets are really east to get good groups with if your only target shooting.
Re: Is there a way to calculate Muzzle Velocity?
I've been doing mine with targets at a distance. I'll shoot a target at 500yards and enter a velocity in my ballistic calculator (bullet flight IPOD TOUCH) until it matches and then verify at another distance.
