    Which 308 gasser should I buy? Accuracy is a big factor on my selection.

    My .308 GAP10 (gen 1) has 5K rounds down the pipe. It shot 3/4 MOA when I bought it, still shoots 3/4 Moa, and it will hold that out to 850 yards with Factory M118. Past 850 it starts to open up and I see about 1.2 Moa at 1 k. Only real failures were a broken extractor and a broken charging...

    Uhh... McRees may want to rethink this one? Maybe?

    They've actually doubled-down on their claim that they could go after the end user on their Facebook page. Idiots.

    Question for the guru's

    I think there are a lot of takeaways from this. Primarily that crono data should only be used as a guide. From the testing I've done I'm not convinced that crono data can be assumed to be correct and may exceed the published error rate. And to be clear I'm NOT blaming this on the crono. I...

    Question for the guru's

    And to add...I just punched my "calibrated" MV into the shooter app and the results are the same as Kestral AB...dope is good using calibrated MV.

    Question for the guru's

    And believe me I appreciate it. I'm all ears on this one. Truth is that if calibrated MV works, I essentially have no need for crono data but I'm trying to figure out why. For no other reason than gathering data during seasonal changes I could do it at short range with a crono, trust the...

    Question for the guru's

    LOL, I read it on the box. Seriously though that's one of those things I assume to be accurate based on manufacturers data. I'm shooting factory ammo so I just select the bullet from the Kestral bullet library.

    Question for the guru's

    I've already done that. It's what you're doing by basing speed on bullet drop...you're taking the crono data out of the equation. When I do that my dope is spot on.
  10. BattleAxe

    Question for the guru's

    Yes you would think but bullet drop is a function of speed/weight/BC/gravity. It's is purely a math equation. When weight, BC, and gravity are known and verifiable what does that leave you?

    Question for the guru's

    My thoughts as well. Yesterday I went out and at 92 degrees with a DA of +2400, my calibrated velocity was 2846. Using that speed I was center punching everything out to 1K. Several weeks earlier I was getting almost that exact same speed from the magnetospeed at 72 degrees which doesn't...

    Question for the guru's

    If you're referring to tweaking the drop scale factor I simply don't have the available distance to do it. The farthest I can get out is to 1K and its my understanding that you need to be in transonic range to do it. Correct?
  13. BattleAxe

    Question for the guru's

    Yes I read that before posting. My crono seems to work flawlessly other than speed not matching ballistic performance. The environmental data and firing solution comes from the same instrument (kestrel) so there's really very little user input to screw up. I'm starting to think its a powder...

    Question for the guru's

    I recently made the leap to shooting 6.5 Creedmoor and I've noticed something odd. The MV from the Magnetospeed seems high. For example I might get 2840fps but end up shooting low at 1K. If I then do a MV cal based on bullet drop I get 2770fps and when I use that calibrated speed my dope is spot...

    Best Lubricants for AR's?

    Depends on which parts I'm lubing. Diesel motor oil for the gas rings and bolt internals and a light film of Milcomm on virtually everything else.

    PRS Talk What is the fate of the PRS Gas Gun Series?

    I've shot 2 gas gun matches, both at Core. Both matches had a great turnout. One interesting note is that I've talked to a few bolt competitors and you'd be surprised at how many don't know a thing about gas guns, and they're not ashamed to admit it. That said, the low turn-out at some of...

    Advanced Marksmanship crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them...

    During a local club match I had to engage a 600 yd target from 3 positions, 2 shots per. On the next to the last shot I hit a bolt hole off a roof-top simulator and took out one of the chains. The target was now hanging knife-edged to my position. Rather than call target down I took the shot...

    That will work. Thanks.

    Rifle Scopes S&B Ultra-short Throw Lever

    Is anyone making a mag throw lever that fits a S&B 5-20 ultra-short? Can't seem to find any info on them other than S&B released one at SHOT. I'd don't really care who makes it as long as I find something that works. Thanks.

    When I carry my 30 I just use a regular kydex IWB w/belt clip at the 3 o'clock. I find it only a shade bigger than a 19
