    Will a 40 MOA rail work?

    Some scopes will travel slightly more than advertised so you might still get your 100 yard zero. Or use a slight hold under I'd reticle has it. I have 70 moa total on my 375 with a 7-35 Attac Nightforce. Literally zeroed 100yds with the scope bottomed out. Just dont store the rifle between using...

    Bat CT action bore guide

    I did a Bat model L for my 375 BAS and ran into the same thing. I'm sure someone makes them but I ended up just making my own.

    Custom Build or AI AXMC ??

    When going to high end stuff it is very difficult to find them in local and even high end gun stores as you've discovered. One thing to consider might be after this Covid thing is over try going to a match whether PRS or ELR. There you will see more equipment and people to talk to about it than...

    AR targets & grade 8 bolts

    The length of your D-ring gives it more leverage to stress fracture over time. I simply held a chain link to the back of the plate. Gives it enough tilt for the close up handguns. Over time these brake as well when hit with bigger calibers like my 500 S&W and 72 Cal black powder rifle. Then I...

    Suppressors Suppressor covers

    I just picked up my Sandman L yesterday. Which one would you recommend for cutting down on mirage from the can for a long range bolt gun in AZ?

    Impact energy

    I dont think it's that we are opposed to doing it or trying it. It's just that its unlikely to be feasible for us as individuals to do ourselves without the resources and budgets of what the companies can do. The best way I can think of for us to try would be if a Labradar with an air gun...

    BWA 10x100

    I wonder if any of the barrel manufacturers would be willing to make some barrels out of H13 tool steel?

    Impact energy

    I haven personally have not tried to do it but you would have to have some form of chronograph down range. I dont know what would be the best option to do it though. I'm thinking the ballistic apps have to be pretty close on velocity through the trajectory to do all its calculations that it's...

    Impact energy

    Much easier to simply measure velocity at target and then mathematically convert to energy.

    7mm bullet to use for 1 mile??

    Seeing some pretty good 3 shot groups around 70gr of RL25 at 20 thousands off the lands in a Bergara HMR. Have 50 rounds loaded up to to some 5 shot groups over the lab radar just haven't made it out with them yet.

    7mm bullet to use for 1 mile??

    I'm having good luck so far with 180 ELDMs in load development in a 7am Rem mag. Haven't taken them to distance yet though

    Deciding on my ELR rifle build.

    I went with a 375 BAS by Robert Vestal. I figured this was a really good performer that won't eat a barrel to quick. When I do rebarrel I can do the same again or anything else with that bolt face. ELR is advancing and who knows what's going to be out there in a few years.

    Fighting your shooting bags. ELR

    I'm planning on building an adjustable base for my rear bag as well. The PrecisionUnderground 3D ELR bag looks nice so just ordered one to try.

    1500 with 7 rm and 6.5m? Possible ?

    Group size as you go up in distance is not a linear change. Wind and conditions will be your biggest challenge. Consistency of your ammo is big also. Good luck! You'll have a blast doing it though!

    Target camera's

    E-targets and the Magnetospeed would be great at distances where all or most of your shots are on steel. I'm expecting a large percentage of shots as I stretch the distance more will not be. Without feedback from hits and misses you're just throwing lead and wasting ammo. No cell signal where I...

    Target camera's

    I'm placing the targets each time I go out so placing a camera depending on terain isn't a big deal. Don't know that I have other uses for a drone but may be fun to play around with. I did go ahead and order the Longshot LR-3 camera and Hawk scope camera this morning though. So I'll see how it...
