    Best iPhone app for measuring straight line target distance f

    $5 is reasonable to me to have yards/meters to choose from, multiple targets all in straightline distance from whatever position I am currently in, and while it lacks a few high end features and transferability to a ballistic computer (unless ive overlooked it) its not worth complaining given...

    Best iPhone app for measuring straight line target distance f

    I would say its worth the price. I use it on most of my coyote hunts, and love it. You dont even have to remain in a stagnant position once you tag the targets. There are a few spots I walk past when I am heading to my hide, and I will stop and tag those so I know that the distance measured...

    Best iPhone app for measuring straight line target distance f

    Im not sure if its available on iOS, but I use Range Card on my android. You can tag different targets and and it gives distances from your position in yards and meters. Satellite view/google maps based, and with my phone and coupled with Strelok, first round hits every time Im capable of it...

    Long Range Semi Piston Rifle

    And still all we have is flamslicious thread, with no one saying why a piston AR is less accurate, less reliable, so on and so forth. Ive seen less flame at a Rammstein concert full of drag queens. I feel like Im reading Obama supporters or Global Warming proponents scream they are right, now...

    Long Range Semi Piston Rifle

    Seems to me there is a reason the SEAL's, DEVGRU especially, all seem to be running the 416 in some form or another for battle rifles, and some variation of the SR25 for more precise shooting, all of which from my limited Google search are DI. Theres a local range, Retired SEAL owned, and he...

    IMR powder

    Ive developed a few loads with IMR4007SSC for .223 based on its not so similarities to Varget. They seem to work well enough for what Ive used them for so far, a generic 3 gun load while still working to get a chronograph to test velocities before going further. Ive also have loads in both...

    375 Cheytac....IT'S ALIVE, RANGE REPORT TO FOLLOW!!

    Nice lookin' stick. Its in one of the two calibers Im considering for my next buy/build, so Id love to hear how it shoots, especially with the SMK's.

    Alliant Reloader 15 Scarece - Other Options for both .223 AND .308

    When I first started loadin again a few years ago, it was my first time loading 223 and 308, all previous loading had been magnum loads in my dads rifles. All of my research said one of the best all around powders was Varget. I was in the process of stocking up when the run happened, and had...

    Die maintenance.

    Ive been cleaning and decapping a crap ton of once fired 5.56 and 308 lately I picked up as once fired crom a range. I use a spray lube, but follow the different manufacturers recommendations for their use, occasionally have a stuck case, but its rare. I either tumble or sonic clean all my...

    ELR/vehicle stopper.

    Gunfighter, you point out the 30's and finesse a lot, so let me ask, will an AP or API out of a 300WM or another 30 cal round put a hole deep enough into an engine block to do significant damage with proper shot placement on the average American driven vehicle at the ranges I am looking at...

    ELR/vehicle stopper.

    The farm is as secure as it can be given I need full family approval for some things, and Im not trying to turn it into a bunker, just a place that is more easily secured and kept safe should the wost decide to happen. I served in the Airborne Infantry for a while, so I understand the...

    ELR/vehicle stopper.

    Looks like a 50 is in my future then. Ive been unsure since a decent amount of what I have read has said .50BMG is not an inherently accurate round. If the accuracy issues are curable with a custom rifle and proper load work-ups, and given I have access to literally hundreds of rounds of once...

    ELR/vehicle stopper.

    Budget is wide open since overall Im willing to wait and build it piece meal. If were talking buy it outright pre built, still the same general scenario budget wise, just a longer wait. Ive learned that some things are good enough to get by if youre willing to sacrifice accuracy, and on this...

    ELR/vehicle stopper.

    Ive got two builds in the works already, but since they are very near completion, Im looking to the next build. My wife and I are "prepper light", that is we are working towards being prepared for almost anything, with most of our emphasis being directed at Hurricane Katrina or Superstorm Sandy...

    New Colt Bolt action .308

    My Model 70 .308 has a Shaw barrel, and I am able to hold consistent sub MOA groups, usually around the .5 mark(on the plus side but close) on my better days, better if I throw it in a vise/rest to zero. Im not going to say they are the go to accurate budget barrel manufacturer, I talked to the...

    dumb question for the weekend - 556 in a 223 bolt gun?

    Head to Ace in Washington, ask for Chris. He will help you figure out which rifle will be best for your desires overall. If you question the ability to chamber a round, you can look in the manual while youre there. They have great variety there, Im sure youll find what fits best. (Basing...

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    I bought a cheap scale "to get by" when I first set up, supposed to be for reloading too. My loads were inconsistant as hell. I loaded up a few one day, but didnt seat a bullet. Weighed powder/brass/primer combo after charging the brass, loaded a few more, and went back and re weighed, all...

    price for used ar upper?

    Thats what I am doing with my build, piecemeal as affordable and only skimping on parts that will be replaced when my SBR paperwork gets in. Did it before, worth the wait, especially after learning the hard way the build before that.

    price for used ar upper?

    If you want a used complete upper to replace half of the components essentially, then your almost back to what I assumed you meant when you originally posted "upper receiver". People are still asking $400ish for a complete upper, so why not get a good receiver and BCG, and buy the handguards...

    price for used ar upper?

    Why go used when there are reliable manufacturers @ $100+/-? Im all for saving money, but some things I'd rather pay more or wait for, like a receiver.
