    6.5 Creedmoor / 140 Hornady A-max loads

    I'm using 42.0gn of H4350. MV of 2751, with no pressure signs in my rifle, 26in barrel. Seeing consistent <0.5MOA with this, so, since hotter loads can reduce barrel life, I stopped there. Heed the above cautions to work up slowly. Safety first!

    Natchez Shooters Supply WTF????

    Yeh. Natchez is a wholesale supplier for lots of dealers in AL, GA & TN. That's why they don't sell directly to customers in those states.

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    Here's a feature I need but don't see in either Ballistic (I'm currently using v.4.2.2) or Ballistic AE: Cant Angle. I note that Cant Angle is available in JBM on line. A lot of tactical matches are including odd barricades that require one to shoot with the rifle/scope canted to 45 degrees...

    Any reviews of TiborasaurusRex's YouTube Vids?

    I found the Sniper 101 videos a few weeks ago too, and have now viewed about 2/3 of them. I also think they are pretty good, and for the price, excellent. He goes into much more detail than either of the two long range courses I've participated in. In my opinion, with the videos so far, he's...

    Range Report MV and ammo temp for ELR

    Below is a link to a good Sniper 101 video. Covers the importance of temperature both as an atmospheric factor (for air density) and the effect of powder temp on powder burn rate and thus muzzle velocity (MV). One's firing solution should account for both, especially at longer ranges. Note...

    A project I've been working on

    Re: A project I've been working on That's a realy nice project! A couple of quick questions: How much weight is saved vs. the McRee front end? And, how does the center of gravity (balance point) change for the setup? Thanks.
