    December shoot would be great. If we get cold weather it would be even better, that way one can get DOPE for 30 or so degree air.

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    I have an HTC evo android and I can't get that MV truing menu. Non of the screens have an option/toolbar on top. Any ideas? Only MV tool I can find is when I open table/graph and hit the "menu" button, option for "muzzle velocity tool" comes up, but thats just to change the value.

    What is the reason for this flyer?

    Had a great day at the range today. Got to shoot 308 out to 390 yards and did well at the IDPA match. With 308 fired two 5 shot groups both right under 3/4 inches at a 100, it is very satisfying to see all your hard work paying off. Looked at my charts, dial in 7.5 MOA for 390 yards, very...

    What is the reason for this flyer?

    Thanks for the input fellas. Never did load more ammo with CFE. Going to keep it as is, varget for 308 and CFE for 223. Shot quite a few 175 SMKs with 45 gr varget now and starting to get good results. Looks like this rifle doesn't like to shoot small groups until at least 20 rounds have been...

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Two things I'd like to see you update. First is change the software where user is able to edit muzzle velocity per given temperature. Right now program is automatically calculating velocity based on the ambient temperature and I dont like it because it's off from my own verified data. Other vise...

    Very confused. Dope changed big time? What caused this?

    Well the velocity swing isn't linear, it's kind of like a hockey stick type of curve. Like I said, right now I'm gathering data that will be compiled in to chart/spreadsheet/write up for everyone to debate over and cherry pick my findings/conclusions.

    Very confused. Dope changed big time? What caused this?

    I guess I jumped the gun, my bad! I see your point about chrony not reading out real data, that does make sense. Like you said only way to find out is to find out. One need to keep a very detailed DOPE book and go from that. When I get more data I'll make a separate post about velocity change...

    Two can play this game, so no need for smart ass comments. Have you chronographed Varget loaded ammo at different powder temps?

    Very confused. Dope changed big time? What caused this?

    You have to count for powder temperature change. Some powders will swing as much as 200 fps from 0 degrees to 100. Heck my 308 with Varget goes from 2,635 on at 60F to 2,690 at 80F and up to around 2,723 fps on a 90 degree day. If you want to get particular with it, get one of those laser...

    hahaha first time I saw it I spent 20 minutes just staring at those, like in a trans or something.

    What is the reason for this flyer?

    Thanks for the help Boss, very informative post. I'm gonna take base and rings off, make sure everything is clean, apply some blue locktite and reinstall my scope. Other thing to note is that 5 groups with CFE and Varget had a "flyer". Two shots are kind of close and the third is off by it's...

    What is the reason for this flyer?

    Mine wasn't that far off, average at 78 degrees was 2632 for 44.5. I'm gonna keep CFE for my 223 rifles and varget for 308. CFE also did same kind of groups using 168gr berger VLDs. Looks like this rifle likes Varget the best. I'm gona start working up DOPE for 175s this weekend, will be...

    dustin what kind of velocity you getting with 44.5 gr Varget?

    What is the reason for this flyer?

    Rifle is Remington 700 sps tactical with a 20 inch barrel. I know this sounds arrogant, but I'm not responsible for the flyer, cross hairs where dead center in that black box when the trigger broke. I guess I'll load up 6 rounds and see if the group repeats it's self. Thanks for the help.

    What is the reason for this flyer?

    I'm working on developing a load using a 175gr SMK for SPS tactical. Bullets came in the mail today so not wasting any time loaded up some rounds and off to the range I went. Here are the details: New Lapua brass, full length sized COAL 2.8 in Remington primer Varget powder 44 gr 44.5...

    Range Report G1 v G7 - why such a large variance

    I'm glad that worked out. I think something is wrong with that software.
  19. Cossack

    First time doing real load build up. Please critique my loads and tell me what to try.

    slate the 60 gr doesn't look bad man, especially with you admitting to a flinch. Try that same load but use different brass. See if you can get your hands on Lapua. I think you are on a right track. Dont look at your rifle just yet, it might take some time to find a load. It took me well over...

    Range Report G1 v G7 - why such a large variance

    Same bullet can not have a equal coefficient number in G1 and G7. For example BC of 308 168gr Berger target VLD, G1 is .473 and G7 is .242. The difference is not only what bullet they are compared to but also how the drag is measured. Reason you getting a whiled discrepancies is because...
