    Case for 2 AI rifles?

    I’ve used hard and softsides golf bags to move multiple rifles. They have wheels for mobility. The ‘depth charge’ looking ones have room for ammo and scope too. Maybe not as their avoiding, since golf clubs are pretty sellable, but it takes a lot of of people’s curiosity and apprehension...

    22lr twist rate advantages

    Could you measure MV and then time report of the hit on steel at a known distance and atmospherics and back calculate the BC? Or is that just not sensitive enough to divine the BC from?

    22lr twist rate advantages

    Most guns and ammo shoot well at 50 yards. A mix of some guns and some ammo shoot well at 100 yards. Some guns and good ammo shoot well at 150 yards. Good guns with good ammo shoot well at 200 yards. At 250 yards a gremlin comes out, laughs at your gun and ammo selection, and smacks the crap out...

    22lr twist rate advantages

    22lr and Economics- where theory comes after the reality.. Not to add any kind of extra interations to probably your already large test plan, but it would be interesting to know if suppressing the faster twist has any effect. Frankly, with my 26 inch barrel, with subs, and a bolt gun- when...

    ELR Scope, rail, mount specification calculation

    So how does the micro work? I was reading their website and got confused. I though the micro had only one fixed come up? You use a 100 yard zero? I guess that could work for a dedicated ELR22, but for a standard gun I'd like a 50yrd zero. So your scope dials up to say 20Mils, how do you...

    ELR Scope, rail, mount specification calculation

    I was looking at the Charlie TARAC Micro, versus the Eratac mounts and decided to go with the Eratac mounts for my Vortex HDII. That should get me to about 500 yards. The TARAC is interesting, but gets expensive- but I can see that the ability to swap between rifles makes that a bit easier to...

    I think OSHA inspectors can’t travel in 3rd World countries with out their heads exploding. A 20k pound coil of metal on the back of a truck with 3 inch ‘speed bumps‘ to hold it- no straps. That was my favorite from India. Who hasn’t ‘hopped’ the ladder a little when putting up Christmas lights….

    22lr twist rate advantages

    Just got the word that Lilja finished their run of 1x9 twist barrels for CZ455/457. They have one unsold if anyone is interested. Sounds like they had a lot of interest in them. I'm getting two both, 22 inches. My original thought was upgrading my son's 455 with one and making a pure LR22...

    First shot fliers???

    My 40x conversion with a Benchmade 26 inch MTU barrel with CenterX ammowill throw a slow round if I leave abut a minute between shots. Like I said, MTU profile, so I can’t think it is heat. I keep the barrel pretty clean and concentrate on the throatish area, but maybe I have carbon build-up...

    22LR twist rate

    what kind of gain are we talking about? On a soft lead bullet with a gain twist kind of have the effective smoothing out the grooves and lands marks but still in parting spin on the bullet?

    22LR twist rate

    If it’s better, it should be easy to show data confirming it. If it’s hard coming up with the data, then that kind of shows that while there may be a difference, it is not a huge difference. While muzzle velocity is one thing, accuracy is another, and we are using a single variable of twist...

    ELR Scope, rail, mount specification calculation

    So I pulled a table for 22 out to 100 yards. Realistically, and it sounds insane, I'd want a set up that would handle 550-600 yards max. How do you calculate what mix of rails, mounts and scope adjustment needed for subsonic? I run MIL/MIL scopes. So for 500-600yards, you'd need...

    Vudoo announcement?

    So we have the new action, where are we on barrel twist? I didn’t see it as an option on the order sheet?
