    Gunsmithing 300 rum build

    Re: 300 rum build Well like I said I'm not settled yet but I was hoping to get extended life and velocity with no diminished accuracy out of the poly. My theory (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) is that less bullet obturation, more barrel life, more speed and with more speed more...

    Gunsmithing 300 rum build

    Range Report wind call "rehab"

    I'm a former shooter trained to use range constants to calculate for wind. Problem is I'm no longer shooting a 168g sierra bthp @ 2770 fps, so all those range constants I have committed to memory are junk, I would like to figure out how to calculate new constants for different rounds at...
